Queen Berserker

Exiled

Lex:

I could hear Alex's footsteps from three hallways away, his pace told me he was in a hurry. I stepped out to see what he was doing on this side so early, he turned the corner and stopped dead in his tracks when his gaze met mine. He looked at me but not in his usual playful way, he didn't have his bright smile either. Instead he looked at me like standing there was breaking his heart. I tried to give him a smile, but he just looked down and said to me in a soft voice and teary eyes that dad needs to see me. That can't be good, for him to look like that, dad must have bad news for me. I walked with him to the Alpha's chambers where I would hear what I assumed was devastating news, because everything about my brother right now told me to prepare for the worse. Inside the office, my father's eyes were somber instead of their usual stern, he refused to look at me. My wolf started to grow restless as she could sense something was incredibly wrong.

I sighed, "Is anyone gonna tell me what's going on?" I asked confused. My dad then spoke up, his voice booming with heartache, "Lex my dear, you are being sent to King Kaden's kingdom for negotiation on an alliance between our packs." He finally looked me in the eye after saying this. He said for negotiation, what he meant was he was sending me there as part of his deal, he sold me. He was going to make me the bride of the most terrifying and feared werewolf known to our kind. I looked directly towards Alex, who was still looking at the ground, then back to my father. "Am I being punished for something father? Have I wronged you in some way?" I ask this with tears swelling in my eyes. "No my child, this is for the good of the pack." I scoffed, I know we’re doing pretty bad at the moment, but this was too much. "How could you do this to me?" Tears starting to stream down my face. He didn't answer, he wouldn't even look at me. I was getting impatient, angry. "YOU'RE SELLING ME TO A MONSTER FOR AN ALLIANCE THAT WE DON'T EVEN NEED?" I yelled I couldn't contain it, I didn't remember ever yelling at my father before now, but this wasn’t right. "YOU WILL GO, AND YOU WILL MARRY THE KING!" He yelled back in his alpha tone, but not demanding.

His expression changed I could sense how this made him feel, the alpha in him swelled with pride but I couldn't accept that this was my fate. Almost five years ago King Kaden took his pack and wiped out six packs in the night. Slaughtering nearly everyone, the ones that survived said that they had no reason to come in and kill so ruthlessly. Kaden was truly a monster, he did this for power and nothing else, and I was terrified of him. "Lexie, please, Kaden will be a great ally for us, I have spoke with his father the former king. Mostly we need his resources, you know what we face without any help." My father said gruffly trying to calm his inner beast. He was right about that, our land, our pack, our family wouldn't survive much longer. "When do I leave?" I asked, no longer wanting to argue about my future. It was perfectly clear, I was the one with no mate, I wasn't the one next in line or run the pack, I was the one who was expendable. "Tomorrow" was all he said, and I knew this conversation was over.

I walked out and waited for my brother to come out, maybe he could help me change fathers mind. "Alex, why do I have to go, I could still find my mate he could still be out there, it's not right to send me away like this. Couldn't you talk to dad, tell him this is wrong, that he can send someone else." I tried to stay calm, Alex looked down at me, I could feel the sadness in his eyes. "Lex, look I've done all I can in this matter, do you think I didn't already think of that? We can't send someone else because they wouldn't be the daughter of an Alpha, so they would be too low for the king and he would find that disrespectful. Honestly we’re lucky he settled for you, and even then I think that was more of his father than anything else. Father thinks your mate might have died in the slaughter, and I have to agree, why else would you still not have a mate. I mean you went to other packs looking, and came back empty handed. If he is still alive I hope he isn’t in Kaden's pack, because that would most likely be a death sentence. " I have to admit that I've had the same thought that my mate might already be dead, but I was still holding out a little hope.

I went back to my chambers, to pack my belongings, I honestly didn’t even know where to start or how much to pack. Packing made me feel like I was being exiled from my home. This felt like betrayal I didn't want to go, it was my duty so I had no other choice, but this, this wasn't going to be easily forgiven. I decided to just pack a couple of bags I can have the lower pack wolves pack up the rest and send it all to me. When I was done packing I decided to go for a run, let my wolf blow off some steam, I put on my shoes and went to the garden, usually that did the trick, but not this time, that wasn't enough, I decided to go into the woods, there I could really let go in my wolf form.

I was almost to the tree line right before I shifted into my wolf Amilia caught my attention, "Hey you mind if I join you?" She had the sweetest smile on her face as she approached. I question myself if she knew I was being sent away to a monster, a man I wasn’t sure even had an ounce of humanity in him. "Hey Ami, what's up? Come to see me before my departure?" I joked, but it was far from funny to me. "Departure?" she looked at me confused, I guess that answers that question, she did not know I was being banished, exiled, thrown out? That's not what it really was but it was how it felt. Father always says to be a great leader you must take your emotion out of it, but how can I do that? My father made a decision about me, without my consent. I knew he was friends with Kadens dad, they went way back, but that wouldn’t stop Kaden from killing me.

"I leave tomorrow to go to King Kaden's kingdom, father has decided to make me his new bride" I tried not to let her hear the break in my voice, it was hard to say goodbye to her, she was my best friend. She looked like she wanted to cry, but instead she turned around and ran in the other direction. After seeing her I was no longer in the mood to run, I needed to sleep I needed to prepare for this long trip tomorrow. Walking back in the manor I heard them arguing, I don't believe I've ever heard them have more than small disagreements. I felt bad that they were arguing about me."You can't let her go there, you know who he is, you've heard the rumors like everyone else" "This is out of my hands, I can't go against father any more than anyone else" That was true, as the future Alpha he had to do what was right regardless of his personal feelings. "And if she dies there the-" I stopped listening, I didn't want to hear the rest of that. I didn't want to consider that thought. I went to my room, not in the mood for food, I got in bed and decided to sleep. I could hardly sleep though, I kept thinking of all the ways the King could kill me. My wolf was oddly at peace with this, I thought she would put up the real fight, but she didn’t she was anxious and I was confused by her behavior.

Alex:

Fucking great, my sister is mad at me, my mate is pissed at me, and my father says that if I'm going to be a good Alpha I need to take my personal feelings out the equation. Lex is my twin, I can't take the thought of her going to that place, she's too good hearted for that scum, she needs to stay here where I can protect her. Going against my father isn't really an option, my mate doesn’t understand that, I need to think of something before the official wedding between them. Maybe Kaden wouldn’t want to marry her, and he'll send her back, but that's not likely, she doesn't notice her beauty, but I notice the way the unmated males look at her. There were so many men that were upset when we turned sixteen and she wasn't their mate. I was relieved, I don’t want my sister with anyone not worthy, there is something special about her. I’m not saying that because she is my twin, her aura is different then anyone's i’ve ever met, there’s a power in her voice that demands respect and attention.

I’m also sure she has magic, when we were younger she’d get mad and her eye’s turned crimson, our room caught fire once and I’m almost positive it was her. I’m not sure if dad noticed it and never mentioned it, or if he was too busy after mom died that he never really noticed at all. I lost my mom when I was five, and dad shut down for a while, Kyle, our dads second, or beta if you will, took over the pack for a few months until dad pulled himself together. I crawl in bed and pull my mate to my chest, and I sniff her hair, and kiss her shoulder, she lets out a soft moan, "I don't want her to go, I can't picture her being there, but I can't come up with a real alternative over night." I kiss her again and she snuggles deeper against me. "I think our pup should know and be close with it's aunt." Wait, what? Did I hear that right? "Did you just say our pup?" She turns around and faces me with a smile. "Yes, baby, we're going to have a pup." I hug her tightly, and start falling asleep, I'll think of how to help Lex tomorrow. How is it that while I’m getting what i’ve been working at for years and should be the most ecstatic person on the planet, I can’t because I’m losing one of the most important people in my life.

Kaden:

I’m woken up by a soft knock on the door, I look over at the clock, f**k it's too early for this s**t. “Come in” I reply to Henry outside my door. I can’t tell him to go away, I doubt he'd be knocking this early if it wasn't important. "Pardon me my King, I need to know which room will miss Alexis be in.” So not as important as I thought, this girl isn't even here yet and she's already causing my problems. None of my men were to call me Alpha in the presence of a human. I've never found my mate, which was fine with me, she'd weaken me, like all the other men. I couldn't be weakened by some woman. I slept with women, plenty of human women, the feeling of the woman resting on me now was soft, humans were weak. "Put her in the room next to mine, I need to keep an eye on her." I have to keep her close, better to not trust an outsider. She's only coming as a favor for a friend of my fathers, they need help and can only offer a woman, how pathetic.

I had asked my father if this could be a trick, or even a political plot, I know my kingdom is feared, and everyone wants more power. He told me that the Darkmoons are not like that, that Alpha Nicholas is a great man, who helped my father win the thrown when his half brother Matthew challenged him for it. My father already owed Alpha Nicholas a favor, so that got me thinking why would he offer her hand to me. They were up to something I was sure of it. "Yes sir." Henry was a loyal pack member, he also took care of everything around the castle.

He walked out of the room, I lifted the woman off me moving behind her, lifting her ass in the air spreading her knees apart, I put two of my fingers in her cunt moving them back and forth, getting her ready for my size. Listening to her moaning for me, once she was soaked I slid my throbbing c**k in, thrusting back and forth faster and harder until I felt myself getting close I then pulled out and turned her around and shoved my length down her throat, I gripped her hair and released myself in her mouth. I then walked to the bathroom, right before I shut the door I turned to look at the woman who I had already forgotten the name of, "Please don't be here when I get out."

I saw her face fall, they always wanted more, I turned the shower on, letting my body take it all in, I could hear her in the room getting her things, I then heard the door slam. She was gone, I tried not to have the same woman more than once. I always relieved myself on their body or down their throat, and I won't look a woman in the eyes as I f**k her, women catch feeling too fast. I throw on a pair of pants and a T shirt, and go for a run. I'm expecting that girl here any day now, I believe her name was Alexis, her father said she's no trouble. I do however wonder what happened to her mate, her father didn't mention why she was alone just that she was, and she needed a new scenery, which furthered my suspicion on they were up to. I need to take a wife, someone to give me heirs, I don't need love and I can't marry a human. If Alexis wasn't the daughter of an alpha I wouldn't even consider marrying her, but having an heir with a female with alpha blood is very ideal. We run through the woods beyond the garden, to a stream, I found this stream out here when I was a teen, me and James use to race in these woods, Jamie would usually be the one to time us. She used to pray to the Moon Goddess that I would be her mate, I didn’t mind, I would have accepted her, she was strong and fearless. I had to have already been out here for hours, I need to get back so I can prepare for our new guest.

I get back just in time to see the car pull up, I'm not there to meet her I wonder if that came off disrespectful to her. I stand back to gage her reaction, I watch as she steps out and that was it, I could feel my heart pounding, my mind was racing, I've never seen a more beautiful creature in my life, and I haven't even seen her face. She has on tight jeans, that allow me to see her curves and her perfectly round bottom. She has long midnight blue hair, and her smell even from here is amazing, coconut and vanilla, and something else sweet, I can't put my tongue on that other scent. Oh how I would love to run my tongue over this woman's body, feel her soft skin in my hands. My wolf agrees as he is going mad from being too far away. This is surprising he doesn’t like when I f**k or even desire anyone who isn’t our mate. I walk closer, she must sense me because she turns around and immediately her pale face turns red, it's even more beautiful, her eyes the color of the deep ocean, I just want to pull her in and kiss every part of her, taste her, claim her. She smiles "Hi, do you know if um uh King Kaden is home at this time?" Her voice is that of an angel, but she sounds like she is scared to death.

She must have heard the stories of five years ago, everyone knows only one side. That is that I ruthlessly slaughtered six packs. I have to let her get to know me, so she wouldn't fear me. What am I even saying, I can’t allow my lust for her to cloud my mind, I know her and her father are up to something that would most likely ruin my entire pack. "No, he went on a business trip." The lie slipped before I could even stop myself. Her face softened she was no longer afraid. That however made me feel a sad and a little angry if I’m being honest. I mind leaked Henry to make sure he knows not to call me king or Kaden in her presence for the time being. Maybe this really was luck, I can't believe that Alpha Nicholas Darkmoon was hiding such a jewel in his small pack. Xavier, my wolf was jumping up and down excited. 'What's up with you?' I ask him and I feel him turn his back on me. 'Nothing that you need to know about right now.' 'Oh, come on why are you mad now?' He doesn’t like when I sleep with women, he says we are only suppose to be with our mate, and to compromise I don't sleep with she-wolves. But I have long given up on finding my mate. 'Are you okay with us marrying her?' I ask and I feel his excitement, but I also feel like he's hiding something from me. 'If you have something to say now is the time.' Nothing, silence, He's being more of an asshole lately.
