CHAPTER 61

HANNI POV“Where is the Alpha?”I asked as I entered the dining hall and noticed the table that’s usually full of food and wine, looking almost empty.“We do not know, my princess,” The head palace maid answered as she courtesied. “All I know is that he left the palace with some men at the early hours of the day.”“Ok…please what about my friend? Have you informed him about breakfast?” “Yes, my princess,” The maid courtesied agin. “But he said he wants to keep on sleeping, seeing that he couldn’t sleep all night.”I stared at her in shock as I tried to process what she had just said.If he couldn’t sleep all night? What has he been doing?“Penny for your thoughts?” Simone said cheerily as she waltzed into the dinning hall, looking beautiful as ever. “Always deep in thoughts.”“Hello My lady,” I smiled.“What is it that troubles you?” She asked as she dished herself some potatoes and eggs. “Your eyes were looking all glazed….or is it Alfred?”“Yes,” I replied hurriedly. “Where is he?

CHAPTER 62

ALFRED POV The journey through the forest was swift as we didn’t stop in our sprint towards the north mountains… not at a sound of a twig nor the sudden weather change or for water break. In what seemed like a few hours, we arrived at the northern mountains. We didn’t stop when the guards at the entrance gate flagged us down—we just flew through. In seconds, we were surrounded by guards with spears and swords, all aimed with firm grip at our throats. “Halt!” The beefy head guard roared and leapt from his post—then midair, his body twisted, bones cracking. A massive black wolf hit the ground instead, spikes jutting from its back like jagged blades and howled. Geo snarled, blaring its teeth, it’s long fangs rattling and it’s eyes bright green with its Lycan energy which made all around him cower, including the head guard who had quickly shifted back to his human form. “A—Alpha Alfred,” The guard yelped. “This is an honor…forgive me for the—welcome, you were not expected.”

CHAPTER 63

HANNI POV“H—Hanni?” Josh sleepily croaked and struggled to get up, but when he saw us goggling at the parchment on the table, he sprang up suddenly, eradicating every trace of sleep from his eyes and rushed over to snatch the parchment—from our gaze.But it was too late.“W…what are you two doing in my room?” He asked bewildered as he tried desperately to put on his pants. “I had thought the doors were locked.”“What is happening bud?” I muttered and pointed at his muddy boots. “What are all these? Where did you go last night?”“I had already told you that I went—”“Josh please, do not say market” I cut in calmly. “The market streets are paved. Your boots have mud on them.”“I must have stepped on a puddle,” he replied dismissively, “I do not remember.”I inhaled deeply, scared of what I might later find, scared my intuition might be right—like always. “Ok…ok…” I smiled weakly, trying to make him feel comfortable, as he was beginning to get edgy. “What about your fingers? I went ove

CHAPTER 64

ALFRED POV The silent walk to the safe house was a long one, the air thick with trepidation…thick with worry, unsure of what we may find.I had insisted earlier, it just being the old Alpha and I, but along the way, I had to send for Marcus and Beta Jameson, for I had suddenly remembered an old saying…‘Keep your friends close and your enemies, closer.’And being unsure of the Beta’s next plan of action, I had to keep him close, under my watchful eyes.“Alpha!” The two guards guarding the entrance of the safe house greeted in unison, their hands placed firmly on their chest in reverence.“Where is Sir William?” The Old wolf barked as we entered the dinghy dark corridor, leading to the hall where the poison were being kept. “He went for an errand, Alpha.”“What errand? Wasn’t he aware of my visit?” The Old Wolf barked angrily, his deep voice vibrating off the walls.“Forgive me, your majesty” The entrance guard bowed.“Open the door,” Beta Jameson pointed at the big iron door, at the

CHAPTER 65

HANNI POV“Hello my lady” the palace maid courtesied as I entered Simone’s chambers. I looked around briefly, taking in all the excess pink…excess for me, yes, but beautiful. From the pink rug, to the pink bed covers, the pink flowers and drapes on the wall, to the pink curtains. I had already known Simone is a lover of pink, but never did I dream it to be this extent.“Where is Lady Simone?” I muttered to the maid, and she pointed the bathroom chamber, where obviously she is taking her bath. Minutes later, She snatched a robe—pink, from the robe hanger beside the the chamber door and came out looking all wet and shocked.“Princess,” She exclaimed, with her eyes widened in shock. “How long have you been here?”“Not for long,” I shrugged and looked around once more, “I love your pink room. Does Marcus stay here too?”“Why?” She laughed shrilly, “Because it’s all pink?”“Yeah….” I replied. Then I cleared my throat and dived into the buisness of the day. “Are you avoiding me, Simone?”

CHAPTER 66

ALFRED POV“Are you certain?”“I am.”“Ok. I have heard what you said,” the old wolf replied solemnly, “because we are all prospective traitors…just with a decision. But I will give him benefit of the doubt, for he has been with me for moons. So I am not certain.”“Then you will need proof sir.” I nodded. “Yes. But not from you.” The old wolf replied, “It will surface itself. I just have to be vigilant.”“Ok Alpha.” I replied cautiously. “But every minute counts and he makes decisions and plans daily so I’m sorry for I can’t wait for him to flop in your eyes because he knows the reason why I am here and why I was looking for the crystal poison.”“So what are you saying boy?”“What I am saying is that, we need to be quick and smart about this—”“What I do not understand is , why attack your land?” The old alpha cuts in absentmindedly, “why not just eject me from the throne? Why go the extra mile?”“That is why we need to take care of this quickly, your majesty.” I replied earnestly.“
