Chapter 63: Threat
Arthur frowned, confused. Why would the queen of the vampires be in the werewolf kingdom? More importantly, why would she think he knew where she was? He’d never even met a vampire until he went with Daphne to Brown Valley.
“What are you talking about?”
“We don’t have your queen,” Tom hissed. “Don’t blame us for her disappearance.”
“Shut the old man’s mouth,” she said, sharply.
Arthur’s heart lurched at the snap of her voice through the air. It was an order, but he didn’t know who it had been issued to.
The air stirred as if a gust had rushed past him.
“I’d like to—”
Tom flinched as a vampire appeared in front of him, his dagger pressed to his neck. He froze looking up into the cold eyes of the vampire looking down at him. There was no malice or anger. His gaze was placid like a lake.
He was just like all the other vampir

Arthur glared at Tom as he panted. His shoulders heaving and his face contorted with anger. Perhaps he was out of line, but he meant it and he wouldn’t take it back. To bow to a vampire, to accept her as luna would make a mockery of every comrade and loved one he’d lost in the war.“I refuse to serve a luna with vampire blood,” Tom turned. “Mark me, Your Majesty, she’ll reveal her true colors in the end! She is likely the traitor among us!”Arthur glared at Tom, “I had two demands, Tom.”He froze and looked at him, eyes wide and shocked, “You would abandon your throne, your birthright, your family’s legacy for a vampire?”Daphne put a hand on Arthur’s shoulder, squeezing gently to keep him in place. She could feel his fury roiling from his shoulders. Tom didn’t seem to understand what kind of buttons he was pushing, or maybe he did and thought they had such a good
The Rogue King Chapter 65: Options
Arthur had been avoiding Daphne since they returned to Sharp Armor from the meeting several days ago. She’d been asking about the meeting, but the thought of talking about it only angered him. He told her that he didn’t want to talk about it until it just seemed better to avoid her as much as possible. He didn’t want to upset her. He didn’t even think he could say anything about it without being upset. There was so much to say, and he wasn’t sure he could manage to talk about it.It was better to work out his frustration on the training pitch and think about the situation. Nicole was serious. She planned to murder and pillage the kingdom until Daphne was returned. He didn't know how he was going to manage to avoid that and keep Daphne at his side.The best option was to be ready for war and try to negotiate, but would Nicole and her forces be receptive to that? Would Daphne want to be with her people? Did she have family left? Would she wa
The Rogue King Chapter 66. Cries of the People
Arthur waited in what had once been the center of Sharp Armor for the living and able werewolves to join him. He focused on keeping his breathing even and his mind clear. Daphne would want him to be calm and try to understand how they were feeling. It was a shock to them all to find out about Daphne’s heritage, but there was no reason for them to act like this.Daphne wasn’t a traitor. There were so many other people who could have betrayed the werewolf kingdom in all the years since his parents were killed, yet no one thought of them.Slowly, people came, gathering around him. They murmured between one another. Some of their voices were angry and biting. Some shook with terror and anxiety, but no one among them spoke of anything but their sense of betrayal.“I can’t believe we’ve all been fooled…”“Think about His Majesty…”When enough people seemed to have arrived, Arthur addressed the
The Rogue King Chapter 67. Fearful Gazes
He needed to see Daphne. Her scent hung in the air, pushed around by the wind, but he got a hold of it and followed it up to the hill near their old house. She was seated on the hill overlooking the training pitch. The wind ruffled her hair and gown. She looked lonely and despondent there. The sight made him hurry towards her.He promised himself to make her happy. Whatever it took to keep her happy was what he would do, yet there she was looking miserable because of a stupid lineage he never wanted and hadn’t been fully prepared to accept.Nearby was a werewolf with a bored expression. He was watching Daphne as intently as he could manage around his boredom. His presence had Tom’s paranoia written all over it. He should have killed him.Arthur growled at the man as marched towards her. The man paled, turned, and scurried away as she turned to look at him.Daphne was in a bit of a daze. The shock was weighing down her mind and making her aimle
The Rogue King Chapter 68. Notes From The War
They spent the rest of the day in bed except for dinner and washing up for bed. Daphne fell asleep beside him, exhausted and satisfied, but Arthur lay awake turning over the issue in his mind.Did Nicole want war? Why was she so adamant about bringing Daphne back to the queen’s castle? Would she be forced to take on the same problems that he had taken on upon taking the throne? He shook his head. Nicole didn’t seem at all like Tom or any of the other alphas. There didn’t seem to be anything weak about her, and she’d been serious about waging war on the werewolf kingdom.It had been a few days since they’d met. He was running out of time. He huffed and got out of bed at first light, tucking the blankets around Daphne. He dressed quickly and quietly before escaping the room.“Your Majesty,” Blade called from down the hallway. He looked at Blade. “Good Morning.”“Blade…” He said, slowly

Arthur growled, turning and nearly lunging at Tom. The man stumbled back and fell from his seat with a cry of terror."Arthur, no!" Daphne cried out. He halted, glaring at Tom’s cowering figure. "Just calm down--"Arthur glared at the man as he stared up at him in fear. He should just tear the man’s throat out, but he didn’t want to expose Daphne to any more blood and gore than he had already. He was lucky, yet again Daphne had spared his life.It made him even angrier to know that Tom wouldn’t appreciate it and didn’t deserve her leniency after having her followed around and inciting the people of Sharp Armor to attack her.Traitor."Eavesdropping!" Someone yelled, pointing at her. "On royal business!"Daphne ignored him and went to Arthur, taking his hand carefully. She tugged him until he turned to look at her. His eyes were still hard with anger, but he was calming down as their gazes met.Sh

Arthur turned to the rest of the room, “I’ll be sending a group with her to escort her back.”"I'll go!" Mamie volunteered.Blade stood, "But Mamie--""She needs someone she can trust to go with her." Mamie beamed at Daphne, "And it's doubtful many others will agree to go."Daphne frowned, "I don't think it's a good idea…"Mamie smiled at her, "I'm a lot tougher than I look. I promise."Mamie looked at Blade who clenched his jaw, wanting to disagree, but he huffed, unable to formulate an argument. Mamie was the best choice as whoever else would be sent wouldn't be as close to Daphne."Are you sure about this?" Blade asked, looking at Mamie."Positive."Arthur nodded, "Fine. We'll send three others."He looked at them, “We’ll send whoever can be trusted to obey orders.”Blade nodded and looked at Mamie who gave him a comforting smile.It’ll be fine,
The Rogue King 71. Castle
Daphne remained silent as they rode through the canyon into the vampire's territory. Her stomach churned more and more as the distance between them increased. The bond felt like it was vibrating at the back of her mind with Arthur's worry, but she had to be strong.If she panicked, the plan would be for nothing."What's that sound?"Daphne turned to where Mamie was looking out the window and leaned to see. They were still within the canyon, but Daphne had no idea what she was hearing."Cheering," one of the women said with a little sneer. "The vampire queen comes."Daphne pursed her lips, "I don't appreciate your tone.""And I don't appreciate your existence. We all have problems."Mamie growled, "Knock it off. You will speak to her with respect."She glowered at her and rolled her eyes, "We're only here because we were ordered to come. "Daphne swallowed and looked at them, irritated about their flippant disrespect.
