*Prince Vincent*
"Good morning your majesty!" A young servant is waiting outside my room after I get ready for the big meeting with my father and Maleficus. Alex and Caleb are also coming, it is to plan the fight with the army of rogues in the city.
"Good morning." I replied and step out of my bedroom, i had a quick shower after the run with my two friends. It was a good meal, we fill ourselves with a healthy deer and a big boar for the three of us. We had fun chasing our prey and relinquished our strength through devouring our prey's fresh meat.
"Is my father already in the library?"
"Yes your majesty, together with the wizard of the Palace."
We continued walking through the huge hall which took us after a few minutes into the door of the library. The young servant pushed the door open and then took a step aside to let me in.
Tall shelves full of books and a long wooden table in the middle of the room with five seats that is occupied, is the scene which greeted me as soon as I took a step inside the room. I can feel the pressure boiling in the air when my eyes look around and i meet the eyes of my father.
"Oh! Here he is! Good morning Prince Vincent! I thought you would arrive earlier than me. However, you came later than the five of us."
His voice oozing with dominance and pride so full of energy and power. The great Alpha King, as expected from my very own father. He is making a fuss because i came later than everyone. My two friends, Caleb and Alex lowered both of their heads unable to meet my gaze. I looked past the old man and meet the sight of the big individual sitting at the right hand of my father. His Beta, Derek. He too, is looking at me with those eyes that's quite similar to my father.
"Oh! Is that how you welcome me home father? After many years of sending me away and now the first thing you noticed about me is my late arrival to this meeting at this very morning."
I followed his gaze and did not move a tiny muscle surrounding my eyes when I walk closer to sit at the empty chair across him in the table. I'm in for the challenge but he never responded for a couple of seconds so Maleficus starts to discuss the plan on the table. He is good with pretending that nothing happened.
"Gentlemen of the Royal pack, we have known that the wolves who hurt the people in the City is non other than the wolves who refuse to recognize the Alpha King and the Moon Goddess. They call themselves the army of the rogues.
My father cleared his throat and Maleficus stopped talking. "I have decided to put an end to the cruelty of this rogues who terrorizes the City. Both wolves and human that lives peacefully in the place are being hurt. The Mayor who leads the humans have communicated with me. But the other day an incident have almost made that agreement lost."
Beta Derek stiffened his shoulders when my father continued talking. "A task is to be taken by Prince Vincent as what is seen by Maleficus in his vision. This is the first in many fights that my son will handle in order to become the leader of the Langston warriors. The pack needs a great leader after Beta Derek who is under my command."
My son, my father just said the two important words which he rarely mentions. My position in his life is finally clear out loud. It feels like someone have rang a bell beside my ear. I almost couldn't hear the next words that came out of his mouth and our little argument a few minutes ago is completely forgotten. Now everybody is focused on the task and the planned strategy that we are going to take.
"Father, does that make me a delta if i win the fight with the rogues?"
It was an honest question which is rising inside my chest, I leaned my back in the soft leather seat and look intensely at the face of my father. Maleficus chuckled and answered my question.
"That will be possible after you have won the fight your majesty, and you will have another task after the fight with the rogues which will involve maintaining the peace across the entire City."
My dark brows furrowed in a frown, what other task is next after the big fight in City. "Let me spill it out myself after the fight is over with the rogues in the City Maleficus."
My father spoke once again and stood up from his chair like everybody in the room only moves whenever he says so. "My Beta will continue discussing the plan everyone so please listen to him and follow accordingly like his words are mine. Have a great day!"
Wow, and just like that my father is leaving.There was no other sound in the room until his presence is completely out. The first sound we heard after that is Beta Derek clearing his throat and looking at me. It's as if he wanted me to listen to him carefully, I remember the little incident I had with him a few years back. He was used to always turn me down whenever I ask him for a sparring except for that one day that i guessed I got lucky.
Our "spar" lasted for almost an entire day but I refused to accept my defeat and did what shocked almost all the warriors of the pack. With broken ribs and a broken leg, I won the man to man fight with one of the strongest warrior of the pack. Maleficus considered it amusing but I know it was an embarrassing incident for my father's Beta. I am not even sure if he heard of it because after three days I traveled back to Europe in order to continue my studies. That memory brought a smile to my lips.
"Prince Vincent, I plan to be in the front during the fight in the City with few of my best chosen warrior. You can stay behind and then wait for my signal along with the two of your best buddies."
My smile turned out into a surprised laugh that came out of my throat in a loud noise. "That is a brilliant plan Beta Derek, except that we need to switch places."
Like hell I would agree to stay behind and wait for his signal. That is not happening without a fight.
"I am not in favor of that your majesty please."
Maleficus tap his palm in the table to cause enough noise that took away my attention from Beta Derek and turned it out into him. "Why don't we consider voting for that plan in this very room, shall i start by raising my hand and saying I am in favor of Beta Derek's plan."
My lips twisted in the other corner while staring at Maleficus. Caleb and Alex raise both of their hands together. "We will go with the plan of Prince Vincent!"
I grinned widely and shrugged my shoulders, I never doubted my friends loyalty, except when my father is inside the room. "No offense Beta Derek but I think I won this little voting system fair and square."
He sighed and nodded. "Alright. We will do it according to your what you suggest Prince Vincent but I will have to stay beside you and one of your buddies is going to stay behind and lead the second squad."
Caleb groaned and so is Alex. "Does it mean Caleb and I get to have a little competition in order to determine who's going to stay behind, your majesty?"
I scratch the back of my head. This two is not going to agree without a fight either. "Alright, you two can arm wrestle to make the winner be with me and Beta Derek in the front squad. While someone stay behind. If the battle finishes before you guys arrive then there's no need for a second squad."
Both of them groaned in protest, I know that they wanted to have their experience in fighting the enemies beside me but they cannot argue with Beta Derek. He is somehow more superior than everybody inside the room.
*Prince Vincent*The busy City never sleeps, it just keeps active day and night. Cars honking in the streets , music playing inside the malls, people chatting and eating inside the restaurants and even the sound created by the footsteps of everyone that is walking to and from. I wonder how the rogues live in this place together with humans everyday. It is just too noisy and crowded, too many distractions.We had a quick looked out to the area before the planned attack at dawn.Our plan is to execute the attack in the mid of dawn when vehicles are less and there are only very few human beings around. My father has a spy that knows the hide out of the rogues in the City, giving us a perfect timing for an attack. After the bridge which connects the vast City and the world owned by the Royal pack, lies the structure built by the rogues.Who would have thought they were able to build the building and made a huge place which accommodates their families. Whi
*Prince Vincent*It started in just the blink of an eye, the huge beast in front of me did the first move. His body advanced forward and came towards me with his sharp claws and canines longer than a normal blade, he is making a vicious attack.The group of rogues howled in triumph when the beast gets a hold of me, they must have thought that the fight will be over soon. They have underestimated my strength, thinking that we have already lost. And right there I knew that the enemy thought I am weak and would easily get defeated.I felt his teeth sank deep in the skin below my neck, excruciatingly painful but I have to endure. However, the bite is not far enough to give me too much harm for I have taken a step backwards and managed to save myself from a dangerous situation to save my own life.I yanked aw
*Alpha King Jack*I realized two things when I looked back at that moment when I get to see my mate for the first time in my life, this world has only two reasons that could make me happy. First is keeping the peace in all the pack of wolves that walk this earth and the second is to be with the fated mate that the Moon Goddess blessed for me to have and to hold in this lifetime.As she lay sleeping in the bed that we used to sleep together a long time ago, I couldn't help but watch her until the dawn is breaking. She just remembered who I am, and that made me so happy that I could still feel the excitement flowing through my veins and hear the loud beating of her heart. I knew she would come back to me just like how Maleficus saw in his visions. I have been waiting for quite a long time but now, it was all worth it.Our love has finally revived, I couldn't thank the Moon Goddess enough for giving me this second cha
*Prince Vincent*The first ray of sun is already shining from above the clouds when the warrior wolves and I finally arrived back at the Langston Palace. The prisoners were quiet. The wolves who are with me are happy and proud from the success of our mission. I still feel a little bit worry about Alex and his injuries, even though Beta Derek assured me that his condition is now far from danger. I wouldn't feel secured until he wakes up, his condition almost made me question myself if I am strong enough to protect my friends."Alex will be alright your majesty, I know our friend is stronger than what we think. He's a young warrior and a tough wolf!"I took a deep breath and watched Beta Derek making a command on the warriors on where to put the prisoners first. My father should be here, I know that he is already aware of our presence but I wonder what's taking him so long. I turned to Caleb and understands how he feels. W
*Ashley*It was sheer luck that my father is the Mayor of the town and is not a stranger to the Alpha King. I didn't mean anything bad to happen that night, but it already did so now our family feel indebted to the leader of all wolves."Good morning Miss Ashley, breakfast is ready. Your father said you should get something to eat before you go to the Palace."I let out a heavy sigh. This is the price I have to pay for what happened a few days ago. Well at least I have a slightly better punishment than my two friends who were to stay locked up in a cell somewhere in the Palace. As for me, I only needed to served there as a servant for the period of three months."Did Mom and Dad already left?"My face showed a disappointing look when I realized that I am left alone now, for sure my mom is already working at our restaurant while my Dad is at work. And I thought he would personally
*Ashley*Pierre halted the SUV outside the tall and massive gates of the Langston Palace territory. But we waited inside our vehicle until one of the warrior guards came towards us to ask what our business with the the wolves in the Palace is. They have immediately concluded that we are humans, which they rarely get as visitors on a normal day and most especially unaccompanied by a wolf."Hey, what's your purpose of coming here? Do you have an invitation from the Langston family?"The menacing eyes of the warrior wolf along with his big muscular arms and the voice which is slightly bugger than normal made our forty five year old driver Pierre trembled. "Ah, yes sir. Me and my passenger Miss Ashley Snipes are expected by the great Alpha King to come here today."The warrior guard glances towards me lowering his head into our window the meet my eyes before he straightened his body back and acted to wha
*Ashley* "This is the room Miss Ashley, it's the place where Prince Vincent rests. And Oh! do not worry dear he is not around right now, he wakes up early and does many things so you will be alone to put order in this room every nine in the morning. Though I am not sure when he will be back but I am certain that before he comes back you will be finished with the task." I exhaled slowly, at least I will be cleaning alone. Clarita tried reassuring me when I made a look of concern in my eyes, thinking that I am to clean after a dominant Alpha wolf. What if the wolf boy is a freak, God knows I could be in danger. Wolves are really strong and vicious when hungry or provoked. "I'll leave you to it Miss Ashley, looks like there's not much cleaning to do but you can just fix his closet and put order in most of his clothes." Clarita looked around as we both noticed a set
*Prince Vincent*I felt my head throb after the conversation with my father, I couldn't believe he took a young she wolf to be his lover. She cannot be someone who can replace my mom, I sighed while walking in the hall heading into the Royal chambers. I was a little closer when a scent unfamiliar assaulted my nostrils. What the?My feet reached the front of my bedroom quickly and my hand reached out for the doorknob but in a way that nobody could hear from the inside. I twist it open to see someone working inside my room. The scent is obviously coming from this individual, but who is she?The sight of her fixing my bed have caught me off guard, her scent is quite different. She looked small standing beside my huge bed and she didn't even notice that I'm watching her. Her back is facing me from the door, who is this girl? I decided to say something in order to announce my presence."Oh are you new? Th
