Alpha Raphael was back and he looks so angry. I know what caused it and that's because I caused it all. I was the cause of everything and I feel guilty.
Their plan didn't work as planned. It was a disaster. Some of the guards were injured. The pack members gathered ready to know what the fuss was all about. They wanted to know if they were ambushed or something. Funny enough they didn't know where the alpha went to and what led to the state they were all in right now.
I  groaned not happy at all. Lena who stood beside me said, " What the hell happened?"
She asked as she look at the injured guards.
" I thought they were going for a meeting or something how come it all end in this? "
I shrugged " I have no idea too"
" Mel, this is a very bad sign. I know our lives are in danger and if this unexpected attack continues to happen, we might end up dead. I don't want to die now, I have a maid waiting for me at home. I want to go back home. I don't want to stay here anymore" she cried out.
I was annoyed " please stop talking like this.  Nothing of such will happen to you and you know that. This is just something simple. We'll get to find out what happened soon so please don't fret"
She pouted " why do you always make me feel good when I should be sad? You friend indeed"
" Oh please enough with the praises! You and I both know that I was only stating the fact and nothing else"
She chuckled " you just don't want to believe anything I say. Anyways I have something to ask you"
My laughter dies down immediately " what is that? "
She fiddles with her nails " I don't know if I should be asking but to hell, have you and Ashley reconcile? "
I would have laughed at her expression right now if it wasn't because the discussion involves Ashley.
" No, we haven't"
She blinked " I talked to her last night and she told me you two have settled the Fight! So she lied. That good for nothing girl"
I snorted " why bother yourself about this whole issue. Just watch and let everything plays on its own. If we talk of forgiveness, she should be the one apologizing right now and not the other way out. Ashley has done a lot of things which I've overlooked and then this last one is the final blow."
" But but...
" No, but Lena. If I force myself to be with her again, she'll do something worse than this. I'll prefer she does everything when she realized she has made  something wrong" I said
Lena let out a sigh " I hate to see you too like this. You were best of friends and it hurts to see you two depart. I admired your friendship that I wish I was also from your pack too"
I raised a brow surprised " you did?" If she knew that that wasn't out the pack at all.
She nodded " of course"
" Well don't be disappointed then. You should never envy one's life if you don't know what they're going through. Just sit satisfied with what you have and don't ever look down on yourself " I advised.
She chuckled " look who is advising me. You'll be a true ruler if you were one. People like you are the definition of a true ruler. You always encourage people to be the best version of themselves and aside from that, you've all the time guided me when I need help so tell me how do I lose that kind of friend? It's not possible "
I was surprised hearing her say this. I never knew I've impacted a lot into her life that I feel f myself right now. I'm so glad to hear that from her.
" I don't know what to say You made me speechless"
She rolled her eyes playfully " Don't be.  I was only stating the true"
" Well enough of the head swearing. Let get back to work already" I said trying to change the topic.
" Nooooo! You are going nowhere I've missed you a lot and the time we've spent together " she said with her puppy eye look.
I sighed " I miss you too so much. I thought working in the palace will be a little stressful but the reverse is the case. It's more stressful than I thought " I said
She felt bad hearing this " so sorry about that "
I huffed " oh please stop apologizing as if it's your fault.  I just want this to be over and done with " I would have told her about the Beta but decided against it.  The lesser people that know the better and t want to put her life at a risk.
" I've heard"
We both made out way to the garden. We have a lot of catching up to do.

King Alpha's pov
I groaned as I tied up the bandage around my hand. That bastard they should have known better to use a silver sword on me. It's going to headlong. I poured some alcohol in the cut, I hissed loudly at the stinging sensation.
I left no one of them alive and I'm proud to say that. Those bastards need to tell us who gave them that information. We were lucky to keep one of them alive Right now he's in the dungeon being tortured by the guards. I need to find out the truth. The spy in the pack must be fished outcry assossible.
Where could she be? Melissa. I miss her a lot. After what my mother did to her at the dining table I haven't been myself and worse, I haven't seen her. I miss her beautiful and angelic face.
I miss how she always stares at me with those beautiful big black eyes. I miss holding her in my arms. She makes me feel complete that I wish she was my mate.
' we can still mate her ' Rex suggested.
I rolled my eyes at the thought. I can't do that to her by force, she needs to want it too but regarding all that is happening right now, I don't think she wants to be with me. But why does her body summit to my every touch? She always whimpers for me to touch her. Why do we feel this way about each other if we, not mate I thought it's only mates that feel this way then why is this happening to me Moon goddess? I need answers.
A knock brought me out of my thought and I couldn't be more annoyed.
" Yes come in " the annoyance in my voice could be heard.
Granny Joanne came in holding a cup of coffee for me " I brought coffee for you. I know how you always love it when you are tense"
I nodded " Drop it over there "
She did as I said. Granny Joanne drops it down on the desk. I appreciate her kind gestures. She was more of a mother to me than a maid.
" I know they might not taste as Jemima's  own but you'll still enjoy it nevertheless," she said
" It's not a bother. This is enough for now"
She smiled " okay. I'll take my leave now"
" Erm wait!... Do you know where Melissa is ?"
Granny Joanne was surprised I asked her that but didn't say anything. She knew better than to question my order " I saw her the other time going to the garden with her friend from the East pack. Should I get her for you?"
I waved off. I don't want to seem desperate " you don't need to. I was only asking "
" Ok, I'll just take my leave "
I watch her retreating figure as she left. I let out a loud breath as she left. Why do I feel like some lovesick puppy?
' That's because you are one ' Rex teased and I rolled my eyes at her.

Third-person pov
Ashley let out a tired sigh as she entered the room. She felt so lonely now that Melissa wasn't around. She drank a cup of water then lay down on the bed.
Earlier when she was on her way to the health center, she caught sight of Melissa and Lena and she feels so jealous of them. She wishes Lena was on her side and not Melissa's side. This action is one of the reasons why she dislikes Melissa. She always takes all the attention which is so annoying.
" I need to do something about this fast "
****
I quietly climbed the stairs heading to my room. I've been outside with Lena doing some catching up and now it's already getting dark. I need food in my stomach too.
" Melissa?"
Ok, don't tell me this is some kind of Deja Vu. Why do I always get called last minute when I need to enter my room. I can't miss that voice
I took a deep breath before turning around to answer " Alpha"
I cut my breath when I saw him shirtless. With his more than six-packs staring at me. He is a greek god. How can he be so good-looking?
He smirked upon seeing how smitten I was " You can just take a picture they last longer you know "
I felt ashamed " oh no"
He chuckled then folded his arms around his chest " I know you like " he was referring to his body.
I made a disgusting face " oh hell no "
" Ok," he was in frofrontme before I know it.
I couldn't hold my breath. His scent filled my nostrils making my hormones everywhere.
" Tell me you don't want what you see ?" He challenges.
He knew exactly what he was doing " Say it, Mel"
I looked around hoping we don't have an audience. Why was he behaving like this Don't he care that we might have an audience?
" Alpha please " I pleaded.
He was so close to me that I could feel his breath " I've waited long enough for your arrival"
I didn't say anything. All I did was get a grip of myself
" I needed you to calm me down but you were not around. Where were you?"
I closed my eyes then opened it " I was with my friend "
" NO, you should have come to me. You knew I wasn't happy when I came back but you didn't care evenevenene to check on me " he said almost riling me up
" But we are not an item and you know that, " I said
" But we have this feeling building inside of us. I'm crazy for you Melissa, I can't stop thinking about you. What have you done to me " his voice drips with confusion " you've taken over my whole being that I feel useless if I don't get a sight of you"
" Alpha please don't say that This isn't right at all. People will talk" I tried saying.
" Let them talk. I don't give a damn about what people think. I'm not ashamed of you except if you are "
I shook my head furiously " No!"
" Then why are you pushing me away whyy" he held my face " I want to kiss you right now "
..
I couldn't hold it longer too so I made the first move. I kissed him hard and surprisingly he kissed me back twice as hard. I didn't stop him when he picked me up to his room. I don't have the strength to fight it anymore also badly.
He lay me down on the bed placing small kisses around my neck making me moan softly. His wet lips send shishiverssl over my body. He was a good kisser.
I brought his face back to my face then kissed him. I can never grow tired of kissing the king Alpha, my mate.
