One
THREE YEARS AGO. A beautiful morning, Laura had just woken up to some noise but she knew it must be the warriors bombarding her father about the reports they had from guarding the borders last night, it is theirs duty to give her father the daily reports of what's is happening in the pack since her father is the alpha. She stood up from the bed ready to go greet her father like she normally does every morning before going to do her things but when she came downstairs to where her father office is, she noticed thousands of people already outside. What's going on?, is their any celebration she has forgotten about?, she had thought and when she finally able to asks. "What going on here?" She asked a warrior that is closer to her and who she has been crushing on "It's your father" he answered bitterly "Where is he?" She demanded "He is gone princess Laura" "Gone where?" She couldn't understand, she bid her father goodnight yesterday and he didn't tell her he was going anywhere "We found him dead this morning" Laura was dumbfounded immediately, It's her father, he is gone, he is dead. But he wasn't sick neither was anything wrong with him last night after they both had dinner together before retiring to bed. "Is this a joke?"She asks walking up to Cora. Her bestfriend right from childhood who is also the daughter of the beta in the Silver packs "I'm sorry, Laura" She weeps profusely and, that even scare her the more. "Father"She called, finding her way to the room but was stopped by the deceased Alpha guards. "You can't come into the room, My lady" one of the guards said. "If this is a joke, you all should better stop it now, I want to see my father"She screams, with tears now rolling down her eye. She is still finding it hard to believe that her father is dead. She tries to break free from the guards but they were too strong for her and just then Lorenzo, the beta of the pack walk out of the deceased Alpha room looking so sad. "How is my father?"She asks, he only look at her in pity and then nod his head negatively "No"She slammed herself to the floor crying so hard and calling out her father name. "You can't die, Father"She screams, but all were in absolute vain. He is gone, The best Alpha they had ever had is gone. THREE YEARS AFTER. Laura hasn't gotten over her father death but the fact she has to move on for the sake of the community and to which she is the only heir to the throne. Alpha Laura turns out to be the first female to rule the Silver pack and that only made it hard for her to survive as many people were against her leadership. "Good morning, my lady" her personal maid bow to her as she stretch out her little body on the bed looking so tired. "Good morning,Anna" She reply, with a smile on her face and she looks so happy this morning. "Your bathe is ready and the Beta await you at the Chamber to finalise the meeting with the Blood packs"She announces. "Oh! thanks"She replies. Laura is a bit confused on why her father beta insist on her visiting the Blood packs even with the bad things happening to them currently. She only knows the Alpha was said to be hot, kind, good and even submissive to his Ex-wife until he caught her cheating and since then he is the complete opposite of what they say about him. She had her bathe, dressed up in a royal dress she actually doesn't like wearing but for some reasons it is things she have to do for her father sake. "Good morning, Lorenzo"She walk into the Chamberlain and sits on her father throne. "Good morning, Alpha Laura " he reply, even though he is way older than her. He needs to respect his Alpha the ruler of the pack "So, about the Alpha...."She tries to recollect the name of the Alpha. "Vincent"Lorenzo helped and she appreciates it. "Yeah, Alpha Vincent's. I don't think it's a good idea to go there with the situation of things now in his pack"She stated. "But why?. He is the only one that can lead us to freedom in the next packs war or we will all be doom"Lorenzo persuaded. "The Alpha king, my father had always warn me about that pack and I won't want to go against his will just because he is dead" Laura replied, politely. "Are you saying we should not do the right thing?"he asks. "The right thing is we stay away from that dangerous packs and I don't want our warriors..." Laura was interrupted by Lorenzo, the beta who now looks furious. "I'm sorry to say this but the whole royal member of the Silver packs had concluded that if you are unable to convince Alpha Vincent's to give out his warriors during the coming war then you are not definitely not fit to be the Alpha"he announces. "What are you talking about?"She asked, she knew one day it was going to come to this but she never thought it will be this soon. "It's a concluded agreement and there is nothing I can do about it"Lorenzo replied. "But.." she wants to argue "If there is nothing left to say then I must take my leave"he stood up even before Laura could say anything and walk away. She has a bad feeling about going to the Blood pack at this moment and sometimes feels like they are just doing all this to get her off the throne because she is a female but only if they knew how great she is. She got down from her dad throne and left the chamber, she have to do something to protect her father legacy "Laura" she heard someone called her name She turn back and see that it was only Axel, the warrior she was crushing on and who they are dating now since she haven't found her mate "are you alright" he asked her with so much concerned in his eyes "I will be fine, I just don't know how to please all this people" He hugs her closely "they will come around, they just haven't seen a female Alpha" he assured "Do you believe I can do it" she looks up into his eyes "I know you can do it, you are a strong lady" "Thank you Axel, I really need those words of encouragement right now" She tiptoed and kissed him to which he responded back immediately "I need to go, I am needed at the border" Axel said "Be safe and I will be waiting for you in my room tonight" "Okay and don't think about it to much dear" he told her before departing Cora who just witnessed what just happened was fuming in anger, she doesn't like the fact Laura was getting everything she ever wanted even the man she dreamt on getting married to. She clenched her hand in anger wanting to punch her face but she knew better to harm her Alpha, she controlled herself by taking a deep breath before putting on a fake smile "there you are, I was told you finished your meeting" Laura was happy to see her best friend and hug her but the gown she is putting on won't let her "I hate all this gown" she said making the two ladies giggled "You looked stressed out and it's still morning" Cora said "My father was really trying, all this alpha job is tiring" "It's obvious, have you had breakfast " "I never smelt food not to talk of having one" her stomach grumbles as they talk about food "see, even my stomach agree with me" "We better get you feed up" Cora said pushing her towards the kitchen area "Alpha Laura, beta Cora" the chief maid greeted them "Make us some breakfast, will you" Cora ordered "Right away" she replied and hurried away "You know you could have said it more nicely" Laura corrected her friend "They won't respect you if you are being nice to them" "They are still human like us" she reminded her Their food were brought in and Laura quickly starts to eat hers because she know she doesn't have much time before duty calls "How is you and Axel" Cora asked as she spat the last word "He has be understanding and being a wonderful boyfriend" she said proudly "Just be careful, he might be with you just because of your title" Cora said wanting to discourage her friend "I don't think so, he isn't like that, I trust him" "If you say so" she smile sheepishly "Alpha" Someone called her name Laura stood up, took a sip out of her water "sorry, duty calls" she told Cora who nodded her head and she walked towards the direction she heard her name from.At the end of the day, Laura was tired as usual after going through a lot of paperwork's and revising them also, she didn't have time to have lunch except for coffee that was brought in by her maids. She decided to retire to bed but she still left her door opened just in case Axel finally showed up, no matter how tired she might be, she still provide some time for him and she has decided to choose him as her mate after everything calms down. She removed her clothes, went into the bathtub and relax her body into the warm water, just what she needed to stretch her bones out, her wolf have been begging her to let her out because she wants to go on a run but she just didn't have the time and she is trying to prove to some people she can do it. She came out of the bathroom and enter her close to put on one of her nightwear just in time for Axel to enter "baby, how was your day" he pulled her into an embrace before kissing her forehead "Hectic as usual but at least I survive a
Laura was thinking it must be some kind of a joke "how will a stranger take over my father land" she questioned "Your father doesn't have a male child and the elders think you aren't capable of making the right decisions, so they suggested that Jacob take over" Lorenzo answered even though he doesn't care. "You can be my Luna, I won't mind" Jacob said relaxing his back on the chair as he turned to face her. "You all can take my birthright away from me but I won't stooped so low and become your Luna" she answered in disgust, got up from her seat and walked out of the room She met Cora in her room when she got there, she must have heard the news, she went to her and hugged her "they are giving my title to some stranger" she cried unto her shoulder. Cora started shedding crocodile tears with her, "I heard and have been fighting my father over it, you don't need to cry Laura" she lied "The audacity of him to tell me to become his Luna" Cora was stunned and angry, even
The following day, Laura was forced to wake up early by Lorenzo, he has told her she needs to be there to announce the new alpha, Laura knew it was a lie, he just want her to feel shame in front of her people. She haven't seen Cora since yesterday and she was certain she must have felt bad for what her father was doing to her , she couldn't blame her though, she quickly dress up . The whole ceremony, Laura tries to put a smile on her face, she hid her sadness inside of her even when she announced Jacob to be their new alpha. Some people cheered happy they got rid of her while some genuinely felt bad for her. She ran to her room before she breaks down in front of them and Axel who has been watching her the whole time followed her. "Laura" he calls after her running She didn't stopped until she barged her door open, she let the tears roll down her cheeks "I want to be alone" she told him "I am not leaving you alone, why do you want to hurt yourself
Blood pack Vincent just finished having his breakfast when his best friend and beta entered "I can't believe those people can be so cruel" he took a chair for himself "Adam, what is it again""They remove their alpha and appoint someone else""I heard she is a female, she deserved it" Vincent replied unmoved"You don't need to be heartless just because of what your ex wife did to you""You don't know, she might be removed because she is sleeping around" he insisted "I heard it's because she refused to come and sign treaty with you" he said"I won't have signed that shit, that pack is filled with selfish and greedy people""I couldn't agree more but that doesn't mean they should remove their Alpha""That is their problem, I want to go for a run today, do you want to join me""You know I will never miss running with you""And you know I will always beat you" Vincent replied laughing hard "and before I forget, get a leash on that sister of yours"Adam knew of his sister obsessio
Laura still hasn't gotten over what Tracy told her, she trying to connect the dots and they all seem to end the same way, if they have removed her from her position because of this blood pack, it's possible was killed for the same reason but what exactly is the reason. She wondered. She needed some one to talk to because she couldn't sleep that night but she doesn't want to go to Cora because she will be in her father chamber and wasn't ready to face Lorenzo yet , she decided to go visit Axel in his chamber instead."Hello, are you sleeping already" she peeped in into his room"No, what happened, what are you doing here" he asked waking up hearing her voice "You seems surprised to see me" she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable "Yes, I thought you were sleeping already" he answered truthfully "I couldn't sleep, I have a lot on my mind" she murmured as she was still standing by the door"Come here then" he patted to his side on the beShe closed his door door back and walked t
"No, I can't trust you, nor your selfish dad, I knew you are doing all this for me to leave Laura, and that's never gonna happen." Axel spat."Will you stop this already? Stop acting like she is somehow better than me, look at my face, I'm prettier and I got the nicest curves in this whole pack, she is no one, no one but a low life, while I'm the beta's daughter." Cora half yelled."I don't care about her position, I loved her for who she is and not for what she has, you may think your father snatched everything from her, but in my eyes, and in my heart, she will forever remain an Alpha, the greatest Alpha I ever know." Axel said."Well then, keep on watching, I can't wait for the day, your precious Laura will marry the new Alpha in front of your eyes and there is nothing you can do, do you even think Laura will ever settle for a warrior like you when she has an Alpha who is willing to give her respect back to her, in the face of the society, while all you can do is to look at her eye
Laura disengaged from the hug."I will go to my room now." Laura announced."I'm scared Laura, he is a beast, a demon, what if he comes back again?" Cora asked pretending to be scared."You don't need to be scared, he is so ashamed that he won't dare show his face to us, and if he does, I will make him regret." Laura replied.She bade her bye and Cora laughed evilly."It's time for me to get my Axel poor Laura; I can't believe you are foolish to this extent." Cora soliloquies.*Laura walked to her room with a heavy heart, even Claudia was silent, she was happy they enjoyed pleasure just yesterday and now, her girl is in so much pains.She walked with tears falling from her eyes, and when she arrived at her chamber.She fall on the floor, crying really loud, loud enough for everyone to hear her pains, she destroyed everything her hands could touch."Why is my life so cruel to me? Why!" She yelled and slammed the flower vase on the ground."Why Axel, I had love you so much!" She added
"What! Why will Cora do that?" Tracy asked."I don't want to say this, but I will, since I'm going far away from this place, you just have to trust me, I didn't intend to rape Cora, she kissed me and blamed it on me, she was crying and Laura believe it, believing that she has been her best friend for ages and she will never lie to her." Axel said."Cora told me that, Laura has agreed to be Jacob Luna, since he promised to bring her respect back to her, the respect of the people and the beta." He added."What! That didn't Happened, I heard when Laura was yelling at that Jacob that she will rather remain no one than to be his Luna, that Cora most be a witch, oh my God, we need to tell Laura everything, you can't just leave." Tracy exclaimed."I will give this letter to you, please give it to her tomorrow, let her rest for how, also let her know that Cora made her to dethroned her because I refused to love her, she has been in love with me since before I asked Laura to be my girlfriend,
