King Alpha's pov
I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The event last night made me feel good. Having Melissa so close to me release some stress. I'm too attached to her and never did I want to ever lose her, never. I buttoned up my shirt ready to head over to the dungeon where the captured rogues were being tortured. I need to know the whole truth today.
Melissa needed to be somewhere else but she didn't tell me where in specific. I also didn't bother to ask because I know we'll still meet later in the day.
I pocket my hand and then went for the door.

Melissa's pov
This is not happening right now.  Who would have thought that Ethan was the captured rogue! What am I going to do now? I need him to shut up before he spills the whole truth. I never signed up for this. Oh, God! What if alpha Raphael gets to know the truth? What would he think of me?
I pace around my room trying to think but nothing was helping right now. My head is blank that I don't even know what to think anymore. This is the craziest thing ever. I need to talk to Ethan. He needs to help me out but how? How is what I don't know.
If I should convince Raphael about going to the dungeon he'll find the whole thing suspicious and I'm not ready for all the drama now.
" I need to find a way out "
First, I think it's time I send a message to alpha Ronald. I have had no phone with me since I was a maid. I need to ask for help from someone with a phone but that person must not have a relationship with King Alpha if I don't want to get into any trouble again.
I thought of who to ask for help. If I should ask Jemima, she would find me suspicious and she'll never lend me her phone since we're not on speaking terms.
" What do I do now ?!" I was so worried then an idea came and it clicked.
I need to do this earlier than said. I made my way out of the room to execute my plan. I was lucky today because granny Joanne told me to take a day off. I don't know why she said so but I'm grateful for that.
I made my way downstairs and that was when Alpha Jeremiah was also coming upstairs. I wish the ground will just swallow me off right now Since the event at the dining table, I haven't set my eyes on him.
I paused and he also paused upon seeing me " Good day Alpha " I greeted with a bow.
" How are you?"
Well he surprised me though by asking about my well-being " I'm fine thanks " I said.
He nodded and that was when I saw that as my time to leave. " I'll be on my way now "
" Wait!"
Okay, why did he stop me?
" Yes alpha ?"
He smiled upon seeing my confused face " Melissa right ?"
I nodded " yes"
" Ok great so I don't know if you could spare me some of your time ?" He asked and they got me worried.
" Me? Why?" I quickly covered my mouth when that question came out. We are not allowed to question an alpha " I'm sorry that was rude of me "
He waved it off " it's nothing really "
I was so uncomfortable right now. He wasn't angry or anything, he was being friendly but why though?
" Of course alpha. I'll be willing to do whatever you ask for " I said
" Ok, can we walk to the garden then?"
I nodded "  sure" 
I trailed behind him as he led us to the garden. I could see some wolves staring at us wondering what was happening. I know some will be having some kind of thought running in their minds now.
He gestured for me to sit down and I did as told " Thanks "
He sat opposite me " Well don't mind the gossipers "
I didn't know he realized too that we were being watched.
" They have nothing doing but to gossip. I have people like them too in my pack" he chuckled at least lightening the mood.
I giggled softly at the thought " Same in my pack too"
He raised a brow " aren't you from this pack?"
I shook my head " No I'm a visiting wolf. I'll be back to my pack by the end of this month "
He looked more shocked " So soon? I wasn't aware that you were a visiting wolf "
I smiled " I'm not the only one. We're many"
He wasn't satisfied with the news but why? Does he want me to stay here forever?
" But why do you look sad with the news? Forgive me for asking "
He let out a sigh " I don't know why I feel this way too."
I was even more confused. This was my first time meeting him and he is sad that I'll be leaving soon? Is there more to this?
He stared at me like a father staring at his daughter " There is something about you that I'm still trying to grasp" he began.
" Like what happened at the dining table ", asked.
He nodded " yes like what happened at the dining table. I have this connection with you Melissa and I don't know why. I don't know why I feel as if I've known you all my life. I don't know why you remind me of her "
Of her? Who is she?
" Of who? " I asked.
" My daughter "
This must be the same daughter he was talking about with Alpha Raphael the other day. I couldn't hear everything but I could grab some things.
" I don't know if I should be asking this but what happened to her? " I allowed my confusion to show on my face.
He stared into space " She was kidnapped before my eyes eighteen years ago. If she is still alive, she'll be 21 years old end of his month "
Okay, this is getting confusing. My birthday is also the end of this month so what the hell is going on.
" I'm sorry about that "
He looked at me " Your eyes, they remind me so much of Angel. They are so dark that one can easily get lost in them"
Okay? What is happening? Someone, please help. I can still remember my parents and this man here is not my father. Moreover, I was kidnapped when I was heading home from a party. I was fifteen years old at that time and I have a little brother, who's name is Ethan.
" I'm sorry you must be mistaken but I'm not your daughter. I have my parents and my name is Melissa "
" I'm not arguing with you Mel and I'm not trying to say you are my missing daughter," he said.
" Then why did you call me here just to tell me all these? Stop trying to play with my head please" I raised my voice at him. I know it's a crime to do that but I did anyway
He kinda looks shocked at my outburst " you need to calm down. There is a reason why I told you all this "...
" What reason? "
" I just want to clear the air about what happened the other night that's all. I don't want you to blame yourself over something you didn't do"
" Oh"
" Yes, I'm saying the truth. IThishe the lthe last time I'll say this to you. Forgive me if I made you upset " he stood up them left.
I just stared at his retreating back. Firstly, I was being disrespectful and he didn't show any form of anger, and secondly, watching him leave made me angry at myself. I did enjoy his company apart from the discussion with his daughter. I need to apologize.
I put my face in my palm " that was a stupid move " I can't believe I yelled at Alpha.
I stood up to leave but only to be stopped by the number of eyes looking at me I rolled my eyes lift my chin, and walked away from the gossipers. They will never change.
" Mel!....Mel!..."
At the call of my name I stopped and turn around. Rosie jogged to catch up with me This is new.
I gave her a look allowing her to know that I find her suspicious. She smiled widely at me.
." How are you?" She asked and I raised a brow
" I'm fine ?"
She chuckled " oh please don't look at me that way. I just wanted to say hello"
" Okay?"
" You don't believe me ?"
I rolled my eyes then folded my arms " look, miss Rosie, I appreciate the fact that you stopped me just to greet me but the truth is you and I know that there is more to the greeting than you're letting on. "
" I knew you are smart. Anyway, this is me telling you to stay away from Bryan"
I blinked my eyes " Excuse me ?" I would have laughed now if this wasn't serious.
" Yes you heard right "
" Calm your titties, I have nothing going on with beta Bryan. Shouldn't you be telling him this and not me. He came at me and not the other way round "
She glared at me. The real Rosie is  beginning to show " You always go for what I want and I'm not going to allow you do that "
I giggled just to rile her up " so you mean Bryan is also part of what you want. If I may ask are you two secret lovers because I don't understand?"
" Just shut up"
" Oh, I won't shut up. You want the Alpha and you also want the Beta. Why are you selfish? Let one go and go for the one your heart chooses. Rosie, you are beautiful and every man will always want you as his mate but stop trying to push yourself at a man. Have some respect for yourself woman "
" Don't talk to me like that !" She whispered yelled. She was angry and I can see her fangs coming out.
I tried as much as I can to be calm" The truth hurt I know. If you ask me, I think you'll be better off with Bryan, o r come to think of it is he your mate?" I made sure I whispered the last part into her ears.
" Shut up!  Just shut up!"
I have the upper hand which made me happy  " my guess is right after all so he is your mate ?"
" You don't know what you're talking about " she gritted out while holding my arm tightly, her fingers digging into my skin.
" You're hurting me Rosie " I winced
" I don't give a damn anymore. I hate you so much Melissa and I won't let you have the king "
I huff " so you mean you either reject your mate just to be with the King who doesn't love you at all?"
She shook her head " he loves me. He's just confused and you made it worst since the day you stepped foot into this pack. You made it difficult for him to know what he want "
" So you mean it's you he wants?" I laughed
" Stop laughing you stupid slut "
Her words don't hurt me anymore. Now that I know one of her secrets'llable to use it against her. Who would have thought that Beta Bryan is her mate? They h other seriously. Bird of the same feathers. They are never satisfied with what they have, always allowing their selfish interest to ruin the beautiful things they have.
" I wish you can think things through about what you want Rosie. All your life you've been following the king like a puppy even when you knew he doesn't want you. He made you aware of that but you still turned deaf ears " I tutted
" Who told you this? Did he? "
I shook my head " of course not. He didn't have to tell me before I know, it's written clearly on his face. He doesn't want you. The whole pack knew it too"
