King Alpha's pov
Jeremiah refused to talk to me. He was in his world thinking about something I don't even know. I pocket my hand in my pocket as I stood beside him enjoying the cold weather.
" Godfather please talk to me. What could the problem be ?" Did I ask?
He let out a loud breath but his mind was far away " My daughter is close "
I was confused " What are you talking about?"
He glanced my way " that maid girl, I don't know what it is about her but she reminds me of her"
I was interested in the topic. I thought I was the only one that finds something different with her but here, uncle Jeremiah who just met her for the first time also noticed.
" What Is it about her that reminds you of your daughter? " I asked.
" She....she has her eyes," he said trying to remember.
I furrowed my brows " it's not up to how many years now since you're looking for her ?"
Uncle Jeremiah stared at me " Eighteen years now "
I nodded understanding how he must be feeling right now. Losing a daughter at a very age can be so saddening. Since then, his wife has been on the sick bed fighting for her life and sanity. She doesn't talk to anyone unless she's been talked to and it hurts uncle seeing her like that.
" I understand how you must be feeling. I promise you, I'll bring your daughter home." I said assuring him.
He chuckles " it's already over some years and I don't think she's even alive. Those rogues that took her away are deadly, I'm sure they must have fed her to the dogs"
I got angry hearing him say that " of course don't say that. She must be alive "
He shrugged " I just wish she'll just have her mind made up already. We have another daughter, she should focus more on her but my younger daughter grew up without the love of a mother but she never complains about it"
I placed a hand on his shoulder" just keep believing, I know you'll find her someday"
" I've heard you. So how is life with you? Any woman in your life yet?" He asked.
I smiled " There is this woman I think I'm into"
" you think?" he wiggled his brows
I rolled my eyes " Yes. I really can't define how I feel about her but I know there I this pull "
" isn't she our mate?"
I shook my head sadly " she is not "
" Then how come you feel a pull towards her if she wasn't your mate? "
" I always ask myself that same question and it bothers me a lot.  What if I push through with this what if she finally finds her mate or better still I find my mate" her picture came to mind. Her charcoal eyes remind me of the Black Sea. One of the best places I always go to when things turn difficult for me. Her eyes held so many secrets that I wish I know some of them.
" Just follow your heart son"
" Sometimes the heart might be the wrong uncle. I don't want to regret ever going for something I'll regret in the end "
" So what do you mean then? Do you mean she's a regret to you ?"
I rolled my eyes " I never said that. All I'm trying to say is I want to take things slow and see how it goes. If I should follow my heart, I'll rush things and that is not what I need right now"
He chuckled " kids of nowadays make everything complicated for themselves. During my teenage years, I never allow anything to stop me. If I need something I just go for it no matter what the implication may be. Iife is too short to worry "
" I've always known you as a Playboy."
We laughed it out. He was a charmer during his time. I also got to find out that mom had a crush on him first before she finally set for dad.
"By the way how is our plan going? I hope you've informed the people of the starlight about tomorrow?" Uncle asked.
I nodded " They've agreed to it and promised to meet us at the hill after sunset tomorrow."
" Good. The fewer people the better. This is an opportunity for us to conquer the rogues. They've done a lot of damage already. They destroy my home and I'll have no mercy on them. They need to suffer for all they've done. My daughter got taken away by them under my nose so why should I have mercy on them "
I smiled " that is the spirit," I said " This p? must go as planned and we'll have the final laugh"
" of course we will"
This plan has been one of the secrets we both keep to ourselves not even my father or my beta knows about it. I know I have a snitch in the pack so the best option was to have a few people involved in the plan.
Through the help of a witch friend of mine, we were able to get hold of the holy powder. This powder is very hard to get and no one knew about its existence unless a finding is done by an intellectual person.
This power will be sprayed in the rogues hideout. The moment they inhale the substance, they die instantly.
" So who are your trusted guards? We'll need an escort. "
" Yes, the guards have been informed about it and they promise not to speak of it to anyone. I know they won't betray me " I told him.
We heard a sound. I wiped my head in the direction but saw nobody.
" who's there ?" I asked trying to check. I used my sensing power but I couldn't get a glimpse of any smell.
" I think it's the birds," the uncle said but I don't know why I find that hard to believe.
" what if it's somebody trying to get information ?" I couldn't help but say.
He laughed " just calm down. You've used your scenting power but you didn't get a smell so don't bother yourself. It's the birds "
I shrugged " ok then"
" We should head inside now. I need a rest after the long journey I had. Tomorrow is another day so let's leave everything until tomorrow"...Okay okay," Okay okay agreement " Your daughter must be worried about you by now"
He smiled " she is always understanding. She knows her father better than I know myself. Everything will fall into place very soon. All our worries will end "
" True"

Melissa's Pov
I couldn't hold it in anymore so I dropped the glad of juice on the table. Rosie asked me to bring some juice for her which I did but she left not without telling me to wait for her till she gets back.
I've been standing for over an hour now waiting for her arrival which she never did. I have a lot of work waiting for me in the kitchen. If I don't do it right now, granny Joanne will query me about it.
I went to the kitchen to do the dishes. The other maids were already done with their list Itheir the only ones left. I wiped a sweat that dropped on my face. I was deep in thought remembering what I need to do before the sunset.
" Are you crazy or what? Can't you see that the water is pouring down !"
I was brought out of my thought. Fear covered my whole being. The queen was glaring down at me, I know how much she must hate me right now. I switch off the tap.
" I'm sorry your highness" I bowed.
I could feel her fuming " I don't know why I know nothing about you not until now . Who are you and what have you done to my son? He has never talked back at me in public just like yesterday. You must be a witch I know "...
I went down on my knees " I swear on my life  I'm not a witch. I'm just a maid sent here base on the king's order. I have no bad intention on anyone "
" We both know that you'll never say what brought out here but let me inform you that I'll find out about your evil plan. I'll make sure I kill you before you bring harm against my son. Stay away from him. You can never be with him!"
My eyes were staring at the floor " Nothing is going on between your son and i. You are just worried about nothing your highness. The king doesn't hold my heart and vise versa. I'm out of this place before the end of the week, I promise "
" The earlier the better for both of us. You are nothing but trouble. I want him to end up with Rosie, that girl is the only future queen I know, the crown will father better than anybody" She said " even if he finds his mate, I make it hard for them to be together not to talk of a maid like you"
I was fuming inside. Her words were harsh and they hit me He is my mate and no one else's t on cond thought, we are not compatible. I'm a maid and he is an alpha not just your normal alpha but a King Alpha.
" Nothing of such will happen between us. Your mind should be at rest, your highness"
She stared at me hard, I know she was finding it hard to believe. I'm also finding it hard that I said so too. The king ignites a fire in me that I fear I'll be able to push him away when he gets too close. My heart and soul crave for him. My wolf needs her wolf beside her.
" You better do exactly as you said if you don't want to see my anger. You don't know me Melissa, don't mess with me if you don't want to see my anger. Don't have me as your enemy because you'll regret it when that happens."
" I won't I promise "
" Good for you then I know you'll be a good girl"
Good girl my foot.
" I'll obey your order"
She left with her head held high. I'm sure she feels satisfied now that she had threatened me. I exhaled loudly then continue doing the dishes.
A few minutes later finally done doing the dishes, I headed straight to my room. I felt calmer as I went inside. Personal space is the best thing ever.
I changed into another pair of clothes. We were told we could put on something different if we're done with work. Moreover, I needed to be somewhere and a disguise won't hurt.

King Alpha's pov
Something feels wrong, I can feel it deep inside of me. The journey was smooth, no rogues were found on the way. We'd thought we'll encounter some of them but surprisingly we found non.
Uncle  Jeremiah looked at me sharing my thoughts " I hope all is well" he said confusingly.
I shrugged not understanding. The witch once told us that getting to the hill won't be easy as we thought except if they find out about our plans before we get there.
" This is becoming suspicion...." Just before I can finish my statement, we heard the howling of wolves coming our way.
The driver stopped the car abruptly making us jerk backward.
" What is going on?" Uncle Jeremiah asked as the sound became louder.
" Let's get down !" I yelled " we need to fight this battle, we won't allow them to tin " I commanded and my trusted guards obeyed.
We all got down from the car with our swords in hand The rogues finally approached us blaring their fangs at us. It made me angry at how low rogues show this disrespect towards me. I'm their alpha, alpha of all alpha No one dares to disobey me and if they do, I end them.
I attacked.
