“I’ve discussed with the priest, he will see us tomorrow in a private meeting.” Richardson said.

It was really happening. Richardson was divorcing her.

Ten years ago

“Do you think you would ever divorce me?” Megan asked. They were returning from their law class.

“You always ask such ridiculous questions Megan.” Young Richardson said.

“I’m just curious. It is allowed so, I was just wondering.”

“You’re my mate.” He said plainly, looking her dead in the eyes.

“I love you, Megan.” He added. Megan turned red.

It was the first time he ever said that he loved her.

Richardson laughed at her reaction.

“I do love you, Megan. I can’t imagine a life without you so no, divorcing you will hurt me more than it will hurt you.” He said.

Present

“Okay.” Megan said numb.

“Megan…” Richardson said. “You do understand right?”

“Goodnight, your majesty.” She wasn’t going to show him any emotion. He didn’t deserve that.

Megan left his office and headed for her quarters, it was already past the usual time she retired for the day.

“Megan!” Megan froze. She had successfully avoided Aspen for the past month except their almost encounter in the garden and now Aspen was right in front of her quarters.

“I had been giving you space knowing how surprised you must feel about the whole thing.” Aspen started.

“Surprised?” Megan thought to herself.

“I want you to know this wasn’t my intention. It all just happened.” Aspen said, tears pooling at her eyes. Megan didn’t buy it.

“I certainly didn’t want to take your husband or steal your position. Ric explained everything, we need this so that our child will be legitimate. It’s for the pack.”

That statement was starting to tick her off, ‘for the pack’. Sounded like mockery to her face.

“Ric?” Megan asked.

“Sorry, Richard.” Aspen said. “I hope you can forgive me, we’re best friends!” Aspen added.

That single statement threw Megan over the edge and she slapped Aspen right across her cheek.

“Megan! What do you think you’re doing?!” She heard Richardson from behind her.

“So it was a trap.” Megan said. “That’s more like you, Aspen.” Megan said looking down at Aspen who was dramatically sitting on the floor, holding her cheek.

“What has gotten into you?!” Richardson asked, grabbing her shoulders rather painfully.

“Apologize to Aspen this instant!” He yelled at Megan.

“What if I do not?” She asked.

“If you will not apologize, I will not provide a room for you in my castle after our divorce. Which was my initial plan as we were once married. I will not have you harming the mother of my child.” He said, a slap to Megan.

“So be it, your majesty.” Megan said.

She looked up at him and entered her room but not before noticing the slight smirk on Aspen’s face.

Aspen’s plan was all coming together

Two years ago.

Aspen had just returned from her shopping in town.

Her parents were waiting for her in the living room, viscount and viscountess Bridget.

Her parents hated the rule of Richardson and Megan.

This was because when the kingdom was transitioning, Megan and Richardson appointed titles to the families they deemed noble.

Megan’s parents were titled and duke and duchess while the Bridget’s were titled as Viscount and Viscountess.

A title, yes but was nothing compared to the title of duke and duchess.

Ever since then, her parents have hated Megan, believing she was biased towards her own family.

“Hello mom, dad.” Aspen said and dropped her parasol.

“It’s been three years. Aspen still hasn’t provided an heir.”

“I wonder if there are some issues with the queen conceiving.” Aspen kissed her teeth.

Megan wasn’t any queen. A queen that cannot provide an heir is no queen but a figurehead.

“Maybe you can offer to be the king’s mistress. I’m certain no daughter of mine is infertile.”

Aspen laughed, “how? I’m not even allowed in the castle. Daughter of a Viscount seeing the queen, they would never allow it! And Megan doesn’t even send for me.”

Megan never sent for her because she was always out of the kingdom on some assignment or the other.

“It’s alright child, it will play out. Leave it to me.”

Was her dream going to become realized? She had loved Richardson since she first laid her eyes on him.

Her and Megan were teenagers and Richardson had come to visit Mega with the biggest bouquet of flowers she had ever seen.

She was jealous. Why did Megan get to marry the best man ever just because she was a Brighton?

She hated that she had to act like she was happy for Megan when she actually wanted her fiancé.

Could her parents actually pull something that would make her have Richardson?

The present.

Aspen’s dream was coming true! She made sure to approach Megan when she was upset and stationed her maids close by so they would hear the commotion!

It was only a matter of time until the word spread like wildfire to everyone.

Megan was going to know what it felt like to be the subject of mockery with no one on her side!

    Aspen was kicking fruitlessly in the back of a donkey. “Ouch.” She yelled. “I said shutup!” Her captor hit the bag she laid on. “Ouch! I think… i think my baby’s coming.”“What?! Rudolf and the captor screamed.“I think he’s coming!” Aspen yelled again.“Ow man.” The captor yelled before turning around, “you’re going to pay for this! You’ve done nothing but waste my time all day!”Aspen winced. Her insides felt like they were ripping open. This was never the plan. She was supposed to be next to Richardson. Being tended to by the most skillful and important doctors.Yet here she was at the back of some abandoned carriage with her blackmailer and very, very far from the West.Aspen broke down in tears. The donkey came to a harsh halt nearly throwing Aspen and Ruldof off.“Please tell me you’re faking it.” Rudolf whispered as their captor jumped off. The scrawny man walked around and got started on the locks to the carriage.Aspen and Rudolf’s breath hitched. Was this it? Were they re

    “For king and country!” Brian yelled, spurring the other men to scream too. They ran into their target territory. William kept his brave face on despite his heart palpitating in his chest.Just as Rhode anticipated, the polls had barely any combat type wolves. The moment Rhode and his wolves approached, they fled.“This can’t be it.” Brian said, reverting to his human form.“I think it is.” Rhode said, reverting as well. One by one, all of the men reverted, taking in the scenery.It was a vast sea, with beautiful landscape for as far as their extreme vision could see.“We did it.” Brian said to Rhode, chest heaving up and down. Rhode was glad.He didn’t have to kill any of Megan’s kinsmen. William held his gaze and smiled, “we did it, alpha.” He said as well. “A hundred men will camp here! I will send word to the palace to send more. Rex?” He called out to one of his men.“Yes, alpha?”Rex, one of his Betas, said, “what if we’re ambushed? This seems too easy, doesn’t it?” He asked an

    Rhode had never been so glad to see the borders of the West before. He had never thought he would feel the pang of relief he was feeling now as he stared at the border sign half a mile away in clear distance. He was happy to know that he had delivered on his words. He was happy to know that he was finally claiming exclusive rights to the West's territorial seas. It was a piece of the West that was closely coveted by other packs, and now, by a stroke of luck and Richardson's gullibility, the seas were in the palm of his hands.It was something his grandfather had tried to attain even when the West was not at its peak and failed, his father the same thing, even down to his brother, he was just relieved that he could fulfill their dreams at last.He had also done it for Megan back home, the sea would be a gift to her as he finally takes her to the altar after his return. Ge briefly thought about what his council men would say, before swiftly shaking off the thought. He cared nothing for

    “What in the moon above do you think you are doing, Lord Fuhler?!” Megan yelled in righteous fury as she rose up from her seat to descend upon Lord Fuhler in all her rage.He was such an imbecile, to strike a woman barely out of labor, and Megan was filled with a strange kind of disgust for him.“She called me a teller of tales!” Lord Fuhler yelled back, causing Megan to scoff as she turned her head to look at Marcel standing solidly behind her.“Restrain him!” Megan yelled again, her eyes burning with power. She was not usually this explosive generally, but striking a woman fresh out of the labor room was crossing the line.Marcel was quick to do as she commanded because In the next instant, he was next to Fuhler, and gripped his upper arm tightly, causing Fuhler's face to turn a furious purple.“Slow down, your majesty.” The cautious voice of Lord Rosebud roused Megan from her angry haze, and she turned around to glance in his direction, before giving him a subtle nod.“This lady is

    “What is going on here?!” Megan yelled as she burst through the heavy doors that shielded the council room and was met with a horde of people as they pushed around and demanded justice.“Nice to finally have your attention, my queen.” Lord Fuhler grinned with a mocking bow, and Megan frowned. Everything about the statement and situation was wrong. He had never acknowledged her as queen before, and the entire court was in chaos when he finally did.When the crowd heard the word “queen” they turned their anger on her and demanded justice in garbled tones jumbled together. It was a disaster.Megan looked around her quickly for Lord Rosebud. He was the only council man she trusted after all, and the crowd were looking more than hostile as they threatened to lynch and destroy.With her head tucked forward with determination, Megan tried to use her eyes to locate Lord Rosebud quickly before Lord Fuhler found the time to launch his newest schemes that were undoubtedly designed to hurt her.“

    The carcass of the dead beast was dragged in by a dozen wolves as they tried to reel it back to camp. The smell of blood was still heavy on the air, and Rhode was already back in his human form as he stood silently and watched the efforts made to thrust up their newest kill.Rhode could not help but smile. The kill was big enough to feed his men for the night, so it was a win. As he sat under the silver sky, he could not help but wonder how Megan was faring. His last decision to put her in power was born out of impulse, which shocked him, he was never a man of impulse after all, or maybe he was and just did not know it, but one thing was for sure, there would be consequences.William rushed over to stand beside him silently, but Rhode sighed in exhaustion, a sudden weariness creeping into his bones because he knew for a fact that if he continuously failed to get his affairs in order, then he would end up like his brother, leaving Megan widowed and abandoned in a foreign land.
