The Twin Witches

Chapter 17

King Maxwell

The King sat in his chair inside the conference room waiting for his men to come and start their meeting. A minute later came Maverick, his head warrior and five of his best warriors, Lucas, Jacob, Bruno, Arthur and Matt. All six of them were in their 40's, they had more experience on fighting and had the best knowledge on using different weapons. Chris and Brandon came in followed by Alex, Fredrick and Roland.Three omegas came in with trays full of sandwiches, cakes and coffee. It was still early in the morning and most of them didn't have breakfast yet. When the omegas left the room, the King stood up and locked the door. Brandon, the gamma had started distributing a folder to each and everyone.

King Maxwell greeted everyone and started their meeting.

“Gentlemen, this information I will be sharing to all of you is confidential. This will not leave this room. Understood?”

All of them nodded as the King continued.

“This is about the training program and its purpose.” King Maxwell began.

"The purpose of this program was to find the strong, good and liable potential alpha's. We will divide the bigger pack into several smaller packs. It is hard for a King to manage a Kingdom and at the same time be the Alpha of over twenty thousand pack members. Every pack had an increased number of members in these few decades except the Bluewater.

Silver mountain had now twelve thousands, Blood Moon had over ten thousands, Ash forest had five thousands and Bluewater had decreased from a thousand to three hundred. That's why you are here Roland. I want you and some warriors to visit Bluewater and investigate. Find out why several pack members move out to another pack.” The King ordered.

“Wait, you want to divide the packs?” Alex asked his uncle.

“Yeah that's the idea. Divide it to a smaller one. I will select a head alpha in Crescent moon, Silver Mountain, Blood moon and Ash forest, then they will choose the alphas who will lead a small pack. It will be easier to provide every pack member's needs.” The King implied.

“That's a very good idea. It's like in the human realm, in other countries they have Presidents then Governors and then Mayors.” Fredrick said.

“Something like that.” The King agreed.

“Alex, Fredrick, you will help to supervise the training center. You should know the alpha's to be, recognise who is good and can be trusted in the future. Those who don't have a pack to lead or would not want to lead, they have the opportunity to be the Kingdom's elite squad.”The King instructed.

“I don't want these participants to know about this or else some of them would try to deceit us only to get a title.” King Maxwell said.

Chris, there's a sighting of witches on the East side of the Kingdom's border. Can you find out more about it?

“Yes Your majesty.” Chris answered.

He dismissed all of them but he remained seated on his chair. He hoped that this plan of his would be successful. If all goes according to his plan, at the end of next year he will turn over the throne to Alex and Freya. He and his mate will travel far away from the Kingdom to give his mate what they have been longing for so long, a family of their own. It had been seventeen years ago when the evil dark Queen of witches had cursed them. No, not exactly them. It was the Queen’s throne. ‘Every wolf who will be crowned as Queen of werewolves would never be able to carry an heir for his King.’ He remembered every word of it.

He had sought help from many different white witches but all had said the same. Only the dark Queen herself or one of her blood could undo the curse.

At first he was hesitant to give Alex the throne, he didn't want him and Alex's mate to feel the pain and longing of having a family like he and Alexandra had experienced, but after they discovered that Freya is Alex mate and she is not a wolf but a witch, he knew that it was the Moon Goddess way. She found a loophole from the said curse.

King Maxwell heard a soft knock at the door. He looked at his watch and it was already past lunch time.

“Come in,” he called.

The door opened and Queen Alexandra came in.

“Hello My King, it's already past lunchtime and you are still here, I got worried” his Queen said.

“I'm sorry darling, I forgot the time.” "Come here,” he said as patted his lap. His Queen went to him and sat on his lap.

“You look tired darling” Alexandra said as she caressed his cheek.

“I am ok, it will be over soon” he said to her.

“What do you mean?” She asked as she stared at him.

“I was thinking that Alex will be ready to take over at the end of next year and we can travel and start a family.”

Alexandra gazed at him.

“I want you to train Freya with the Queen's responsibility. I also want her and Ariana to meet Gianna. She can train them with their magic.” he told his Queen.

“Are you really doing this? What about Freya? The curse?

“Freya will be fine, she's a witch.” He said to her and kissed her on the lips.

“Let's go and eat, then we can talk to them.” They went to the packhouse kitchen and looked for leftovers.

After their late lunch he and his Queen went to his office to wait for Freya and Ariana. They heard a soft knock at the door as he answered them to come in.

“Your Majesties ” Freya and Ariana bowed their heads and greeted them.

“Freya, how are you and Alex? Alexandra asked.

“We're good,” Freya answered.

“We were thinking, you will start your training as Queen” King Maxwell announced. Freya gawked at them.

“And also we want you two to train your magic. We will introduce you to Gianna. She's a witch and we trusted her.

“I think it is a good idea, your majesty.” Ariana said.

“Please you two can call me uncle and aunt to Alexandra, no need for the formalities. I will contact Gianna and I will inform you two when and where we can meet her.” He and the Queen walked with them outside. He held his mate's hand while looking for Ariana and Freya’s back. A family, he thought.
