The Rouge queen and the Alpha Kings

Chapter 8

Emily pov

I woke up with a throbbing headache, every part of me hurt. When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t believe my eyes, for a moment I thought I was in a different room, but when I saw the giant metal door, I realised I was still back in my basement room. I slowly got off the bed to take a look at it, it was now totally different, the walls were now painted white, the bed now changed to a less springy one, posters on the wall, a mirror, table with books and laptop, all in all, it looked like a typical princess room, with no pink. I walked to the first door I saw, only to find a closet, filled with clothes, incredibly slutty clothes, but clothes nonetheless. I walked out and headed to the previous bathroom, it was amazing, renovated, now actually welcoming, a working shower, working toilet, I just wonder if it has warm water too. I went to turn the water on and waited for a while, too afraid to be disappointed, but after mustering enough courage, I went to touch it and I couldn’t believe it, it was actually warm. I walked out and headed back to bed, I couldn’t believe any of this, ‘maybe it’s just a dream’ I told myself, not believing any of what I just saw and decided to head back to sleep. I lied there and closed my eyes, ‘maybe when I wake up things will be back to normal’. I thought before I welcomed sleep once again.

Emily has been unconscious for good eight days, twelve hours and thirty-seven minutes now, and yes, I have been counting. During this time, I have renovated her entire room, I wanted to get her a normal room close to us but my dear brother wishes for her to stay down in that basement, and there is nothing I can do to change his mind, especially when he let me make the place more comfortable. Also we have been having one meeting after the next, trying to do damage control. The packs that lost their alphas and leaders in her hands want her dead, even our own pack wants her life for killing our warriors. We have managed to keep things under control with the only thing saving her being her title, “the king’s ‘pet’”. Elijah was mad at first but he knows there is nothing we can do, we can’t just announce her our mate, that would start another feud. Every wolf with a rouge as a mate was forced to live as a rouge, should they accept their mate, and would have to bare all the consequences of being a rouge. Should we announce her our mate, won’t the same rule apply to us as well?

At this moment, I was in a meeting with Williams, Peter and Jacob, trying to find a solution to the rouge problem we have, not that they are attacking. They just stand there at the barrier; they are typically surrounding our territory. “there are too many of them to fight, they are blocking everything, nothing comes in and nothing goes out” there came Peter’s distressed voice. “all the backup we requested from the neighbouring packs can’t get through, and if they fight, they are killed instantly” his voice sounded defeated. “what are you actually trying to say Peter, spill it out” Peter and Jacob jumped at the sound of Williams’ enraged alpha voice. He has been a whole lot angry these days than I have ever seen him. “what he is trying to say is, we are locked in. from what I have gathered, alphas have reported rouge packs close to them leaving, or migrating, just leaving behind a significant number to guard the land and pups. If you are wondering where they are leaving to, then it’s right here, they have all gathered around our land, it’s like they are waiting for something. Some alphas, with a good relationship with the packs close to them, report noticing a change in the rouges behaviour, it’s more like they are emotionless or something” Jacob finished his report with a shrug.

“it’s been eight days, eight days keeping up with their nonsense, they can’t keep us prisoner in our own land. The pack is panicking because of this; I say we fight them” Williams said in rage before slamming his hand on the table. “can’t your brother use his head for once” Elijah mocked and I just shrugged. “if we fight, we stand to lose our whole pack” I said reasoning with him. “but if we do nothing, we still stand to lose a whole pack” he looked at me with his blood shot eyes. “but they are not attacking, we all know what they are looking for, and we can stop this when she wakes up, for now, do nothing” I yelled before I got up to leave. “and calm yourself down, or I might have to detain you” I said softly, hiding the pain I felt. “Elijah, I’m losing him” I said in the link. “he just needs to heal, all he is doing is destroying himself, take him to meet his mate and he will be fine” he said with a sigh. You see, since that day, I have slowly been losing my brother, he is fighting with Robert, practically himself, Robert wants his mate, but Williams does not, and if neither is willing to compromise, we might have a feral wolf on our hands.

I headed to the basement to see my mate, somehow, I always feel at peace when I’m down here. I opened the door to find her still unconscious on the bed. I sat beside her then held her hand. “Can’t you just wake up, you being unconscious is making things difficult for me” I murmured as I continued to brushing her hair with my hand. After a while I got up to leave, and when I was at the door a voice made me stop, “so it was not a dream” her voice came out weak. I turned to find her dazed by her surrounding and I went to her, took her hand and began pulling her towards the door, ‘she is finally awake, I will take her to Williams, everything should be fine’ I excitedly told Elijah and he just growled at me. ‘you are not taking her, you are just dragging her, can’t you be a gentleman for once, she’s still weak’ he growled at me and it made me stop instantly. I turned to look at my mate. Elijah was right, I had dragged her here, the bruises on her legs confirmed that, but what was worse was the way she looked at me, so full of hatred. “I’m so sor….” I wanted to apologise but was cut off when she roughly pulled her hand from me and tried to stand only to keep falling back down. I tried to help her but she always just glared at me, making me stop in my tracks. After a couple of tries, she was finally able to stand properly. “I wasn’t thinking, I’m so so...” once again, she cut me off. “keep your apology to yourself, what do you need me for this time?” her voice was as powerful as before, which startled me, because Williams made sure to increase her dose and have her injected every day. I stared at her for some time until I saw her wave in front of me, snapping me back to reality.

“stop staring at me like a fool and tell me what you want” still the same voice, with a hint of annoyance, causing Elijah to whimper. “just come and meet Williams” I told her softly, surprising myself. She looked at me like I was nothing but a fool before she walked right past me. “where are you going” my voice came out harsh, she just walked out on me, I will admit that it hurt my pride. “are you stupid? you asked me to see your brother, let’s get it over with, lest you drag me there once again” she said without sparing me a glance and continued walking.

Once we reached the office, I could see Williams struggle with his emotions but eventually calm down, she went and sat on the sofa between Peter and Jacob, and both immediately jumped, screamed then hugged her. “oh I can’t believe you are alive, don’t ever do this again” Jacob scolded her but you could feel how happy he was. “never again rouge, because of you I have been sleeping in the dog house” Peter scolded while slightly hitting her. I stood there and watched. She smiled before assuring them that she was fine, in the sweetest voice I have heard from her so far, which caught me off guard because she has been talking to me like I was some parasite since she woke up, but regardless, I was happy that things are coming together. and while I was about to do a little dance, I heard growling. I saw Williams take her from them and began to shake her, I wanted to stop it but I was not fast enough, neither could I stop him, it’s his mate, he can hurt her all he wants, I did promise him that, so I have to keep that promise. Like dad always said, ‘a broken promise can never be glued back together’

I stood there surprised and speechless as Williams began to shake me, he looked mad and I just couldn’t understand what he was so mad at. “you just woke up, and the first thing you do is land in the hands of other men, do you even realise the troubles you have caused, but I guess you just do not care” he used his alpha voice, I knew he was mad. “why do you care who I end up with, it’s not like I mean anything to you, besides, I can handle my own problems, did I ask you to help me” I was raging, not caring that everyone else in the room was watching. “so you really think that you can handle it all, who do you think you are superwoman? But since you are so adamant, then give to me everything you took from me” his eyes were pitch black, he was mad, but looking into them, I found myself getting lost in them. “can you give to me everything I lost because of you?” he shook me, his nails digging into my skin. “I have not done anything to you” I said softly after realising that yelling won’t get this argument to end. “you didn’t, but your wolfs did, as queen, don’t you know you pay for the sins of those you lead, their sins are naturally yours” he smirked and it terrified me to some extent, I finally understood why his brother wanted me to come, he is out of his mind. I stared at him confused.

“what do you want from me?” I looked straight at him and he released me. “you will know once you get you rouges away from my territory, or there might need to be war, they are surrounding my territory, and I have my wolf surrounding them, get them to leave or you will be fighting a war you won’t win.” He laughed a bit before he sat back down, I looked between Peter and Jacob, but they just looked as surprised as me at his behaviour. “what do you want me to do?” I knew he was right, I won’t win this fight even if I wanted to, they would naturally outnumber us ten to one. Not that I’m not confident in my packs, besides, I love to avoid war when I have the chance. “go out and get them to back off then come back here so we can talk” he looked serious, causing me to shiver, something told me that his ‘talk’ will not be pretty. “lead the way” I told him and he smiled. Everyone else followed us out, still looking astonished.

When we got out, we walked to the edge of their territory. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it looked like a battle field. I looked at Jacob for help and he just shrugged. “well get it over with” there came my mates cold voice. I stepped forward and the present rouges bowed, I just shook my head at them, giving them a disappointed look. I was about to speak when a giant black wolf came running towards me causing the other team to get into their defence mode. It took only a moment before I was pinned under it and it began to lick all over my face, causing me to giggle. “dad, stop and shift back, we need to talk” I used my alpha voice, he whimpered before he shifted back. “what are you doing? Can’t you lead this guys without being this negative? It’s not like I’m going to die here, besides, I need to be here for some time. I already told you, so why would you lead them back here. Do you not care about my opinion anymore? And why the hell didn’t David lock you up?” I was fuming, I just yelled at him, not caring about what everyone else thought, or that he was sitting naked before me. “and where is David and Brian?” I asked causing the rouges to open a path, that revealed my so called beta and gamma. Looking at them, I could feel my body shake in anger. “David, how could you be a part of this? Trying to get everyone killed. I asked you for two simple things. One. Lock up my dad before he goes all crazy, and second, watch my kingdom for me while I’m gone. Couldn’t you do those two simple things” I was yelling, but they deserved it. David looked away from me. “Brian, I asked you to keep an eye on every one, being the most positive, I expected you to keep everyone from going feral, but you assisted in bringing them a step closer to it” I looked at him and he whimpered. “you all just disappoint me. I want you all to return to your packs this instance, do you think that I am so weak that I would risk your lives for this. I said I will protect you all, do you think I can do that if I can’t protect myself first?” I looked around me, fuming. “all alphas, take your members and leave” I yelled at every one and they began running. “but should they come after you, kill them”  they all nodded through the link before they took off running, behind me, all I heard was growling, I guess they are smart enough not to follow them.

I looked at the three gentlemen before me shaking my head, “Brian, take the pack home, and should anything like this happen again, I’ll do more than talk sense into the three of you” I told him, and he nodded before heading off, leaving me with dad and David. I walked with them a distance, I wanted to talk to them. Once we were out of wolf hearing space, “dad you need to control yourself more, the pack and everyone needs you to lead them, I have to stay here” I gave him my puppy face, I didn’t want him to get angry. “what did they do to you, how can I let that man’s children take my daughter?” his eyes were flashing red, I knew he was mad. “I’m their mate dad” I yelled it out. “I’m their mate and I have to stay here. Besides, I want them to take off those stupid rules they have. I can’t do that unless I get them to accept me. I need you to trust and believe in me dad” I told him seriously. And after waiting for some time, he finally agreed. “but I will be sending Jacob once a week to keep an eye on you” he said before hugging me. “its fine dad, I won’t have it any other way” I smiled at him. “but why can’t I feel Nora, what’s happening to you” he looked curious. That question had me freezing. Luckily for me, Jacob came running towards us. “they want you back ri...” his voice held panic, but instantly stopped and looked at David who was growling and whose eyes had turned black. I stared back and forth between them and before I could ask, “MATE” David growled and headed for Jacob, luckily dad stopped him in time.

“Jacob, tell them I’m coming, now run” I told him already pushing him, and he whimpered, “Run for Christ sake” I yelled and he took off running. I turned to David who was fighting to get out of dad’s grip. “calm down, do you want him to be forced to live a rouge. Do you want them to kill him when they find he is mated to you?” I used my alpha voice and his wolf calmed down. “mate” he let out a small cry before he looked at me. “I will make sure you get to be with him, I promise” I comforted him before handing him over to dad. “take him home” I said and he nodded. “you will be with him next week” I assured him and he smiled. I ruffled my hair, ‘why did they have to be mated. And why the hell did neither tell me they are gay?’ I just felt like I was carrying the world’s problems. Through all my stress, I couldn’t help but wonder how I was going to help David. Would Jacob reject him to save his own skin, or would he accept him and live a rouge, prey to his friends and pack? ‘I guess I just have to ask Jacob about it’. But one thing was clear, this is all just f*cked up
