Chapter 20. Just a Drink
* Prince Vincent *
It was a few minutes after Maleficus left me in my room that I decide to stay out in the balcony to fill my lungs with some fresh air and a glass of vodka in my hand. Watching the clear night sky did not give me a restful evening for I know somewhere my father and the warrior wolves of the Royal Pack is fighting the rogues.
I exhaled deeply and gulp down all the distilled liqour inside my goblet. The heat of the liquor just give enough warmth to make my feelings temporarily disappear. If Maleficus did not warn me to follow my father's orders I might have already left the palace by now.
Standing in the balcony with just my sweat pants on, I place the empty goblet above the flat steel railings before letting my gaze run around the sorroundings in

*Ashley *I felt a little light headed watching him stared back at me from his seat. The lights dancing in his brown eyes and when my gaze move down to his red lips which is a little bit moist from the wine, I felt the heat from my throat traveled down to the pit of my stomach.I don't know how it happened but then all of a sudden I became aware of his face being closer to mine, when a few seconds ago he was a few feet apart from me."You look pretty even when your drunk."His comment in a deep voice is followed by a low chuckle. "No, I am not drunk. I can still feel my face and my hands."I giggled and put my hands towards his chest in a helpless attempt to push him away, I can smell his breath mixed with the wine and it's making me feel dizzy. But it's like pushing away the thick walls of the palace. He didn't budge."Why

* Prince Vincent *Being disturbed by the commotion inside the palace is a good thing, before I could do something to the girl that I might regret. Now I can feel my father's presence in the air, he's here! The warriors and the Alpha King must have finished fighting the rogues.My body froze for a few seconds before I finally decided to put on something decent to wear and see what's going on. The fight in town must have been over and the warrior wolves are home. I took a clean grey shirt and put it on top of my dark jeans.But before I open the door of my room to get out, my eyes gaze back towards the bed once more. Looking at the sleeping figure of a girl that made my heart flutter for the first time in my life. I took a deep breath in and gritted my teeth, this is not the time to feel a stupid crush over some random human girl. However, deep inside of me a voice is telling she's no ordinary girl. My own father wants he

* Ashley *I wake up from the blinding lights of the sun coming from the window with the curtains drawn out on the sides. My right arm promptly covered my eyes as I sat up from the huge bed. The bed of Prince Vincent."Good morning Ash! I'm glad you're awake, Prince Vincent is expecting you for breakfast at the small dining room down the hall from the maid's quarters."I removed my hand from covering my eyes and look at the person who is talking. It is Clarita taking the glasses from the glass table and walking back and forth inside the room."Oh! Good morning Clarita."I cleared my throat, embarrassed of my state. The clothes I am wearing is the same as the one I have on yesterday before I decided to sneak out of the Palace. Which unfortunately did not happen because the Prince caught me.I tried to recall what happened after that, and groaned when I r
The Next Alpha King Chapter 24. The Parents
* Prince Vincent *I only have a slight idea on why I have to be present in the meeting with Ashley's parents. Even with my father not telling every detail about it. Yes, I get that we have to protect the humans against the rogues terrorizing the town but the war is over. My own father get hurt in helping them plus we have warriors with injuries in the Palace, now I'm convinced that the meeting is for something which is more important than the issue with the rogues.Me and my two friends is going to be involved on the meeting being called out by my father. Alex have already recovered from his injuries a week ago and Caleb is also present, with Maleficus, Beta Derek, Ashley, my father and me along with the presence of the girl that my father is claiming as his assistant.

For the insurance of everyone's safety I have assigned a warrior to track down this single rogue and I am hopeful that soon we will apprehend him."As I am listening to the voice of Alpha King Jack, I could not help but wonder why they have to touch the issue of his son's birthday a while ago, his birthday which is going to happen in three months. They say he will be eighteen and will soon find his mate. A common condition that happens to a wolf their age.But that information made my heart beat rapidly inside my chest and when my gaze lock with Prince Vincent who is sitting across the table from me it just sent my soul in a swirling waves of indescribable feelings. I couldn't read the look under his dark and thick lashes towards me however I could feel the heat that ignites from that gaze."Maleficus, our gre
The Next Alpha King Chapter 26. A Glimpse from the Past
* Prince Vincent *The night is calm and peaceful but my mind have so many things going on and filled with so many questions, does my father have to control everything even the affairs of my heart? I know this is not just about political plot. Why did he want me to pave a way for the wolves and humans to unite. He is not creating this for just a show, this is something deeper than they think.When I say they, I was referring to the Snipes family, their sixteen year old daughter and how they are looking desperate to keep their town safe. Yet I could not blame them for taking this opportunity, for they are facing a supernatural enemy. It's far from human abilities. We are the only beings who could help them against the rogues."Why don't you retire back in your chambers your majesty? Everybody have already left."I look around and did not bother to move a leg, there is only me and Maleficus that is dri

* Prince Vincent *While driving the black dodge on the wide empty road, my mind is filled with how Ashley looked when we realized her father is almost an hour late for our meeting. We have discussed it yesterday, over the phone that I will be here to talk to him today.She looked so young and yet her family is eager to give her hand to me, which made me wonder if the purpose is to really just keep the town safe. Despite that, I also think that two years from now she won't be that young anymore and that taking her as my mate would be alright. The plan is to make her my fiancee officially on her eighteenth birthday but for now we have to stick to the idea on how to resolve the issue with our long time enemies, the rogues.I know the Snipes owned a vast land near the Southern boarder and it is close to the territory of the pack of wolves from the South.
