Everyone looks in Surprise, history has repeated itself, and the young prince becomes an alpha instead of the first prince.
"My son, our son, killed the alpha, you saw the proof yourself, right in his hand." For some reason, Leonid felt he didn't deserve the throne because Stefan had commanded him to finish the alpha of Shade Grey but his mother had always wanted him to be the Alpha, the old Luna was the one advocating for his son, she treated him more like an adult even when he was a boy, so he could fit into the position of being a king, an alpha king. He has to be king and only him.
"The merit of a king isn't evaluated by the number of enemies he had killed but by the number of people he had saved, Stefan brought back his sister's safe home and saved many soldiers while fighting."
"It's war, in war, they are made to kill people and not save people." Uncle Bob, take it from there, he is the old alpha's elder brother, he was supposed to be alpha but the late alpha didn't give him the crown, he gave it to his younger son who is our old alpha.
For some reason, only he knows, he always favors Leonid, even when it comes to giving weapons and armies when we went for this war, he gave him a whole lot of troupe.
"From this day onward, Stefan will be crowned the alpha of the shadow Moon Pack, this is my words and my words are law."
"Stefan!!!"
"Stefan!!!"
"Stefan!!!" The crowd roared, they were excited for him to be the Alpha, the new alpha of the pack, crazy people, how could they pick someone they barely know, fine he is a good fighter and our pack seems to be the target of other stronger pack, just maybe, this will scare them away.
Leonid gestures to him to move ahead, and as he goes behind him, I feel sorry for Leonid, he is a good person, he would have made a good alpha, and he is kind, what if this man, is wicked and the only good thing in him is the fact that he could fight.
He walked to where the old alpha was and my dad, the beta, who will soon be history because every new alpha picks their beta.
'All hail Alpha Stefan!!!" My dad, the beta screamed.
"Glory to him!!"
"All hail Alpha Stefan!!!"
"Glory to him!!!"
"Glory to him!!"
The look on Uncle Bob's face is enough to say he is not going to agree to the new development.
"Fine then, he is to be the new alpha but he had to get married, getting himself a mate is what will make him ascend the throne, you should know, no mate, no throne, all alphas must have a mate but till then, the alpha position remains vacant and any of the two princes that got their mate first will be the alpha and remember it's supposed to be done within the next two dancing feast."
That is short a time for him to get himself a mate, in our pack, we organize a dancing feast, every four days, where those female wolves who are still without a mate, could get an opportunity to be claimed if they miss the royal ball because the royal family is the only ones allow to claimed their mate on that day, which means eight days, is what he got to lose the throne.
Stupid me, I know he must have someone to pick, the lady from earlier will be perfect, so I thought but I noticed his expression had darkened.
Stefan was angry but he tried not to show it, I saw him ball his fist and run his hand through his nape to calm himself
I am sure, he wouldn't be scared of Uncle Bob. He is no match for him, he is nothing compared to the old Alpha, who I am sure, might not live to see the next day.
He didn't say a word, I watched him walk out of the field and everyone's eyes went after him, he was handsome, I moved my gaze as he walked out, then all of a sudden he turned and our eyes met, I drop it very fast, those eyes of his were beautiful, is like silver and blue, like the sky, his eyes are hazel eyes, where every woman will want to drown on, I thought Leonid is the most handsome man in the entire pack but this one is the king of handsomeness.
The ceremony was over and everyone was going home, I could hear the girls talking senselessly about him, they were drooling openly about the alpha in wait.
"Father, can you make the new alpha pick me, I like him, he is handsome, and the moon goddess must love him, what a perfect body build she had given him, did you see how he towers over Leonid?"
"Kira, I thought you loved Leonid." I questioned in frustration.
"Yes but not anymore, I want the new alpha, I never knew that the old Alpha had such a loving son, his arm is strong and I heard the soldiers whispering that, the war was victorious because of him, that he was the one who instructed Leonid to kill that monster of an alpha."
People are gossipers. Those words were in my head, and then my father's voice came up.
"Kira, you should stop fantasizing about him, I think he might have someone to pick, Hazel, she is known to be the best archer of his grandmother's pack and also his best friend.
We all have the belief that they will make a powerful couple but I also heard that he had never thought of any woman that way, he has always seen females as something for wild rough sex, and after that, they are history to him.
He believes women are demons and the downfall of every man, having a woman around him will make him prey to his enemies and his father is also a victim of women, Leonid's mother, the present Luna is the one who hacks the coup that led to the death of his mother and his grandmother banished, that he has to leave the pack."
"Such a pity." I commented as I fell on the couch since we were home already, the maid prepared something pretty nice for us to eat, and after the meal, we retired to our different rooms.
It wasn't long before we heard the gong of the drum, that was the sound that the old alpha is no more.
"Shit!!! What a tragedy!" The entire pack was full of the wailing of women and children, they were lamenting and the men just kept sighing, the alpha was to be buried that same day, he passed on, so preparations were made for him to be put to rest.
Walking slowly to Leonid who is so down, I watch him sit all alone.
"Come on Leonid, you should not feel bad, you should know the alpha had been sick and that attack made it worse."
"I know it will happen but I never thought that I could be mad at him before his death, I felt like a worthless son whose greed for the throne clouded his sense of reasoning."
"You are not a worthless son, you are the best son every father will want to have."
"Stop it, Fiona, you just want to make me feel better." He mumbled.
"Look at me." I said cupping my hands on his cheeks as I made him look at me, our eyes met, and I parted my lips to say something but I was taken unaware by his lips sealing mine, and he kissed me. That was my first kiss, no one had ever done that to me, I was like an outcast, and no one found me attractive. But here, Prince Leonid is feasting on my lips.
Prince Leonid, your uncle sent for you. The voice of the guard interrupts our kiss. "Go on, I will be behind you." He commanded the guard and then looked at me, I felt so shy and stupid at the same time, the kiss felt so unholy, and wish it didn't happen, it was my first, I expected to have all those butterflies and sparkling of the heart, I heard people talk about their first kiss been memorable but right this minute, I didn't feel any of that. "You should go home, I will talk to you later, I need to see my uncle." I only nodded, cause I couldn't bring myself to look at him, talk more to tell him, to walk me through the woods till I get to a brighter place. After all, I was scared and it was late, he made his way to the royal castle while I made my way to my home. On my way, I noticed that someone was following me and I knew it wasn't after I left Leonid that the person, or whoever was he, started watching me, when Leonid kissed me, I also noticed that I was been watched. I in
"Fuck!!! He didn't even tell me, his name." I cursed as he left without a word to me. He left me wondering who he could be, I have never seen any wolf as handsome and fearless as him, not even a scratch from that idiot to him. Still in my thoughts, I heard a wolf howl, and fear gripped me, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, I wouldn't know if it was going to come back when my savior was gone. "Scary cat, where are you coming from?" That was Kira's annoying voice, no words came out because I was panting badly and I didn't have the strength for her drama. "The alpha in waiting was here, dad wanted to give him documents about the pack, so he was here, you missed him." "I don't want to see him." "You don't want to see him because you were a liability?" My fist clenched, did he have to bring what happened in the war down here to blab about it to this stupid sister of mine? "Sister, I thought you were good in war but I just found out that, you are good at nothing, a good-for-not
"What do you want?" "Interesting, like you have anything to offer me." He said chewing on his fruits. "Didn't your boyfriend know the wood is too dangerous to leave a weakling like you to walk alone?" "I am not a weakling?" I screamed at his face, he let out a soft chuckle. "Truly? Let's see how brave you are." He snapped his finger and the next thing, I could hear a wolf howling, I ran into his arms without thinking twice and he tittered, I pushed him in anger as I freed myself from him. "Stupid idiots!!!""Who among us is the stupid idiot?" He quizzed as he came closer to me and pinned me to the wood, his beautiful eyes drowned me, and I didn't want to look away but he let go of me all of a sudden like I was some leper, he distanced himself from me. "Why are you going home alone?" He asked, in a cool but hoarse voice, I had no idea what to answer him when he was close, I was scared of him, when he was far away, he caught my fancy, the one man, I would want to love me and when he
"Fiona!!!""Oh no, my dad, you have to leave, I will see you tomorrow after the ball." "Wait, aren't you coming to the ball? He asked holding my hand.""No, I am not coming, you should know the ball is never my thing, it's only going to remind me of my failure, so I will let this pass." "Please, just because of me, I have something to tell you." "Okay, I will, and it better be something nice." "Fiona!!!" "Go on, I need to get inside through the window before dad pushes the door." He nodded as he turned to leave, I climbed through the window, and as I lay on the bed, pretending to be sleeping, my head was buried in the bed. "Good, she is sleeping, I thought she had gone out again." Those were his words and the door cracked open again and closed as he walked out of the room. I sighed in relief, then pulled the duvet, and rushed to my wardrobe, to get what I would wear to the ball tomorrow. The next morning, I helped Kira fix herself, she looked all sheen, Kira is beautiful, and a
"The alpha's bride is no other person than my daughter." Father's words came up, as everyone roared and I could see Kira, she is beautiful, I know he will fancy her and I watched as Hazel withdrew her hand from Stefan, poor thing, I could imagine the pain she is going through, that pain that could crush a girl soul for life, how could he ever think of hurting her like that, such an idiot, why bring her here, when he knows he is not going to pick her. "Come on, you've heard the verdict, so let's go." I pulled Leonid's hand but my dad's words stopped me. "Fiona Oliver!!!" Leonid looked at me, and as he withdrew his hand, the shock was written over my face, he can't be me, I turned as I watched him grin wickedly. "Fuck you, I don't want to be your bride, I am not your mate, beast." I screamed in frustration, and then I remembered that no she-wolf had the right to question the decision of the Alpha, talk more of cursing and rejecting him openly, and death was the penalty, dad looked at
"Why aren't you sleeping?""I was... your Highness, I am...""Stefan, you should call me that." He corrected. "Stefan!!!" I repeated more in a whisper. "Good, get some rest, it's been a long day and are you hurt, you could go to the medical center tomorrow to get checked." I only shake my head to indicate that I am perfect, I don't know why he is looking at me like that but all I know is that I am no longer on the bed, but on the couch, fear was written all over me. He looked at me, I could tell, he could see how scared I was, but would he blame me, if I was scared, compared to all the things he had done to me, during those periods he arrived at the pack and the war he was fighting, like a demon, and from what I have gathered from Leonid this passed days, their father the old alpha is scared of him, he only asked that he returns just to save the situation. Leonid said he is different, different from the family, just maybe, the moon goddess knows the reason she created him that way.
The best Archer, the one that everyone would pick for him if he were to pick someone that best suited him, is no other than Hazel, they look perfect together but why did he pick me, "Why not my sister, even if he had to pick someone else?" "The maid will be here to get you to dress, we are having breakfast with the family, where I will introduce you as the Luna of the pack, so we are meeting the family." He didn't wait for a reply before using the door, I fell to the bed, then I remembered his words, "You should behave If you don't want your dreams to come to reality" How did he know my dreams, How thou heck did he know that I was been attacked in that dream. Holy shit!!! Stop talking nonsense, he didn't know anything, just a hunch, probably because of my restless state. I heard a slight tap on the door and then it pulled open, revealing those women from the previous night. "Good morning, Your Highness." "It's Fiona, I am not your Luna." "We can't call you that, the alpha will h
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't love anyone, I only love myself, you should know, that love is not anywhere around my vocabulary." "Really?" I watched as she tickled him and he laughed madly, then what beat my imagination, he was right on top of her kissing her madly. My heart skipped, and my heart pounded helplessly in my chest, jealousy flowed through my thoughts, and my veins pulp till it became so visible. I tried to avert my gaze but hell no, smooching was no longer okay for them, right now, they were having a heated petting. The flowers were planted in a way that those standing far away from the garden wouldn't know what was going on inside the garden, since I was in the room, I could get a complete picture of what was going on. Now his belt is off, I watch him use it to tie her hand, probably to prevent the movement of her hand, and with their body nude against each other, right there, I was watching him making out with his supposed best friend. I closed my mouth, as I trie
