* Ashley *"Now that you are the future queen of the Langston Palace, Princess Ashley I would want you to learn something that I could say as a sensitive matter regarding this family."When the food was finished and we are just drinking wine, my attention is suddenly called for by the great Alpha King. Prince Vincent presses his hand on my right thigh where he keeps it there sitting after he finishes his food."I am listening Alpha King Jack."I answered eagerly, curious about what he had to tell me. Carmela looks at him sweetly and then towards me. My awareness of how she is showing her love towards him, release some of the dirty thoughts I had a while back. Whenever she looks at her I get bothered and could not stop myself from feeling that way."The former Luna Queen of this Palace died a long time ago when Prince Vincent was still very young. However, I prayed hard to the Moon Goddess for another chance and to give her back to me so that I could live my life, or I would die of des
* Ashley *Carmela had asked me to join her for shopping in the City. Something which I don't do ever since I came here to the Langston Palace, as Prince Vincent would just let the designers come to take my measurements and I choose the dresses in a magazine. The trip got me a little excited somehow."Don't stay late, I will come and get you when my work is done with the warriors."I smiled and watch him get ready for the day, he must leave earlier to make a round on the borders with the warriors accompanying him."No worries love, Carmela will have plenty of escorts I'm sure of that.""I still don't like the idea that she has to take you with her, she can go alone and my father will send a battalion to keep her safe."I shrugged my shoulders and smiled at him. "She needed my opinion on something my love, a female companion is necessary.""If it's only a female companion, what could the Palace maids be for? It's not your job to accompany her. This should be the first and last sweethea
* Ashley *We were walking and looking into some of the best-branded clothes for men however, Carmela has not chosen anything. There is nothing that she likes about the Swarovski men's accessories as well. When I started to feel a little bit withdrawn, I asked that I am going to the lady's room for a few minutes."I'll wait for you here Ash, I think those expensive cuff links have finally caught my interest.""Really! That sounds great, have a look at them then. I'll be sure to come back in a minute."She nodded and smiled. "Take your time Ash, and take care. The warrior who followed us, just asked me if he could grab himself something to drink and I said yes so he is nowhere near us.""It's alright Carmela I'm not going far."I shrugged my shoulders and turned my back away from the shop. The staff came back to her with a lot of stuff in her hands, probably showing her the products that she wanted to see.The lady's room is just located beside the shop where we are checking. I turned
* Ashley *"She needs rest, her body is fighting hard because of the silver toxin which affected her blood and the inner organs. Let's wait for three days, and hopefully, she wakes up."While Vincent and I are seated on the couch outside the bedroom of the Alpha King where Maleficus has brought Carmela to treat her. We waited patiently for hours until the old man came out and told us about her situation. The Alpha King is still inside, I don't even want to think how upset he is. Somewhere deep inside of me, I blame myself for not being able to help her. "I'm sorry love, I could have done something."I squeeze his hand while he sits still in silence. He is facing the old man, who is standing in front of us and it is difficult for me to read him."No, don't be sorry. I am grateful that nothing has happened to you because if it was you, I don't think that mall would still be standing right now."His eyes held the remorse which is not meant for me but for the people who hurt Carmela. A t
* Prince Vincent *I've only had a couple of hours of sleep until the morning comes, and we have to get up and make ourselves ready for the ceremony. Ashley looks at me with a worried smile on her face as I fix the top button of my long sleeve shirt getting myself prepared to be the next Alpha King."I am fine sweetheart, no need to be worried about this event. I imagine this moment happening for a long time."She shakes her head and walks toward me. I feel the warmth of her arms as she hugs me from behind."I am happy for you my love, finally you get the crown as the Alpha King. However, what I am concerned about is Carmela. I just hope she wakes up soon."I inhaled slowly and lowered my eyes as the memory of my father's face came to my mind when he made the announcement yesterday. This wasn't planned at all, could this be a decision that he would regret later?"She will get better just like what Maleficus said. He is certain and we just wait until that happens."I reassured her back
* Prince Vincent *The coronation is done, and now we have gathered around as a family. Alpha Zero as the witness of the event, together with my heavily pregnant Aunt Jasmin is seated on my left side of the table. While on my right sits Asley and Beta Derek then Alex and Calib are seated opposite them. The wolves of the Royal pack are still full of life even when it's past midnight.I can't read what is on my father's mind as he looks at me across the table and Maleficus seated beside him on his right. The old man wore a smile on his face which gives me a little bit of comfort because he can see the future. It must have been alright, as he will be agitated if there is trouble waiting ahead of us."So Alpha Zero, when is my niece coming out to see the world? It seems that you two have kept it a secret for a few months now.”I opened up a normal conversation as everybody seemed to be lost in their thoughts in front of the table. Thinking about the person who is not present tonight. Alph
* Alpha King Vincent *"Welcome, Alpha Xander! I am glad you came, the invitation was a bit urgent and in my opinion, not all the alphas would be able to make it on time."The following day came and I am blessed with the presence of the young Alpha from the West. It has been many months since I last saw him and so much has changed in his aura. His posture became more defined, his presence is noticeable and I am sure that he does his training every day based on his body growth. I have to recall that he is only eleven years old and has to be accompanied by my trusted warriors until he turns eighteen. But he carries himself well like an adult."I am happy to be back here Alpha King Vincent, I did not make it on time due to my intense training. But I want you to be aware of my full support under your rule as the Alpha King of all the wolves, congratulations!"I signaled for all his companions to sit down after both of us shake hands and find our sits. I admire his confidence in every word
* Alpha King Vincent *Alpha Zero is pacing back and forth outside in front of the door where my aunt, Alpha Xander, and Maleficus are confined assisted by two of the pack's female doctors. He was supposed to be inside until Maleficus decided to keep him out for the pack doctors are being intimidated by his presence and he is freaking out which is not helping at all. I watch my father as he drinks whiskey in his goblet. He looks calm despite the situation, I am trying to act normal and lean my back on the couch yet I am anxious about my aunt and the baby."How long before it is finished? They've been in there for hours!?"The warriors standing beside the doors look down and keep their mouths shut, none of them knows how long. They are also afraid to speak to Alpha Zero as his temper is rising."Please Alpha Zero, have a seat and take something to drink. Jasmin will be fine Maleficus assured us alright."He move to sit down in front of us and let out a harsh breath. "I could have staye
