The queen Alpha

Chapter 10

Contemplating on how to start a conversation with my hot-headed half, I’m still ashamed for not listening to her.

And knowing Vera like I do, she won’t make this easy for me.

She might want full control for a whole freaking day and who knows what this horny dog might do during the entire time.

“Hey that’s not fair”, she complains out of the blue.

“Ver”,I call out excitedly.

It’s no secret that I had missed her complains and dirty mouth.

“Yeah right”, she expresses in a mutter of factly.

All I could do is chuckle and be happy that she’s here with me again.

“Hey ver, I’m sorry”, earnestly, I apologize . She didn’t deserve the cold treatment and the arrogance I showed her.

“Just pray hard that our mate is a forgiving type cause am not gonna die without experiencing some hot-tub s*x”, she shamelessly whine.

Of course, that’s all she ever thinks about, getting laid.

“Haha, very funny.” I respond chuckling .

“But you forgive me right??”, I hesitantly question. I really need her, if I have to survive this.

She keeps silent for a while before responding.

“Let’s just go for a run kiky”, she cheerfully respond.

And that my people is a capitalized word written:I FORGIVE YOU.

she just called me by my nickname andd she wants us to go for a run.

“Yes ma’am”, I fake a salute in my head.

Only she can see it.

“And am famished, can we hunt some rabbits or a deer”, she suggests.

Now that she mentioned food , I realized we haven’t had anything proper for the last twenty fours hours.

Damn!!, that’s just wrong.

We should feed if we need the energy for the things that are coming.

“Of course, take control now”, I state as I ran towards the woods letting ver take over.

We spend the entire blue hour hunting for deers.

Luckily, we caught one and fisted on it. I let ver run for a while as she enjoyed the dawn aura before she led me to my favorite spot,

She knows I love watching the sunrise from this specific place.

She gives me back control and take a nap for she’s full and happy now.

As I have said before, the view of the castle from this point is scenic.

Probably one of the most beautiful sights have seen.

I should propose bring my mate sometime in the future.

Sitting here enjoying the sunrise, my conscience can’t seem to let me breath for a minute without reminding me of my horror.

It’s just yesterday morning I was here enjoying the sight and wondering when my mate is going to show up.

And today, I’m here feeling like a monster for almost killing my mate when I prayed to have one in a really long time.

I wish my parents were here, they would have at least helped me and stop me from doing what I did.

I just thought hard and came to a conclusion that, even if Roque remembers everything later and just maybe he decides to forgive, will I ever forgive myself?.

I not only disrespected the mates bond and myself, I also tried to go against the goddesses order.

And that’s unforgivable.

Just the thought of it, makes me feel so abashed of myself.

Deciding on not wallowing in my own pity and sorrow, i head back to the castle.

Might as well, have some decent breakfast or see how my mate is fairing.

..,,,..,,..,,

Reaching the end of the trees, as usual, the warriors are on their way to the training ground and some pack members are on their usual day to day work,

As expected, they acknowledge my presence and mutter “your highness”, I simply nod and take my leave.

“Your highness”, a low frightened voice calls.

I turn to see Liam standing his head down.

Well, I know why he’s acting this way. Might be because yesterday I was scary as f**k.

“Yes Liam”, I casually responded.

He seem to be struggling in what to say , so I just stand there waiting for him to calculate his words and gather the strength to spit out what he has in mind.

But before he begins to speak, a voice full of annoyance roars from behind Liam.

“Excuse me Alpha, but why is the prisoner being treated at the infirmary?”, Derek questions.

Well, that explains why Liam was scared, it’s not me but the big bad beta.

His voice was loud enough to make other park members passing by stop at their tracks and eavesdrop.

In simple words, he was attracting unnecessary attention.

And I understand he is angry and confused but does he have the right to speak to me like that??, no.

“Lower your voice beta and remember am still your alpha”, I respond faking a smile.

He simply nods but doesn’t say a word as his energy still vibrate vexation.

“Let’s talk in the office now, shall we”, I suggest as I gestures for him to follow me.

“Yes alpha”, he responds without further debating and follow behind me quietly.

Liam excuses himself and head to the opposite direction, probably going to relieve his worry with a ran.

We reach the office and I gesture for Derek to sit down while I sit on my desk.

“Now tell me what you were saying, with a different tone this time”, I state as my expression turn serious.

He keeps silent for a while before he takes a deep breath and gains the courage to speak.

“I apologize for being disrespectful but I was just wondering why we have an intruder being treated at our infirmary”, he states but with so much hate at the mention of the intruder.

I was holding on the wooden ends of my desk trying so hard to keep my anger at bay , I didn’t want to lash out on him because he didn’t know anything.

The intruder as he states with agitation, is their future king but I don’t know how to explain this to him.

So I decided to lie.

“Because you said he’s innocent. So the least he deserves from us is a little care”, I respond flatly avoiding his sharp gazes.

“Well am sorry Victoria but I don’t believe you. See, we have never kept a prisoner before, but you kept him and tortured him for hours without killing him when you had so many chances to do so”, he expresses with so much anger before he continues,

“Then when you realized he’s innocent, you took him to be treated??, since when are we treating people who have discovered our identity?, huh?, tell me. I need to understand”, he shouts as the veins on his forehead become visible.

I want to be mad at him so much but deep down I know where he’s coming from, am acting so far from the books and his beta intuition are kicking in.

I don’t blame him.

So I keep silent not answering him but still avoiding eye contact with him.

He pulls his hair with so much desperation and places both his palms on his face.

He begins to chuckle like a crazy person while releasing exasperated breaths.

He’s trying to control his anger and inner wolf.

He feels betrayed that am hiding things from him.

“Or is it because of the box??”, he questions in more of a whisper.

Still no answer from me.

“Please make me understand kiky, did I do some wrong that you don’t trust me anymore, aren’t we best friends for life ?? Or that changed too. Talk to me Victoria before I lose my f*****g mind”, he pleads.

His words cutting through my heart like a serrated steal.

It’s not only bleeding but also shuttered to immendable pieces.

It wasn’t my intention to make him feel betrayed . I’m also lost but I don’t know how to bring it up to him.

“Do you think he’s the medinas son?, what was his name again??..”, he tries to remind me but I cut him off before he brings up that topic.

“He is my mate”, I state flatly.

He looks at me like I just spoke a language he’s never heard before.

“What did you say??”, he question again still not believing what he just heard from me.

“I said he’s my mate Derek. That intruder, that human that you want to know why am keeping him alive happens to be my mate”,I express as tears threaten to fall from my eyes.

Derek doesn’t say a word , seeming to be shocked he can’t seem to get his eyes off me and his mouth wide open making this O shape.

Then a voice interprets,

“What is a mate?”,
