Mystery girl
628 Words
It is the girl my lord” I knew it would be about her, hopefully good news. I clear my throat “what about the girl, is she awake?” The healer shakes her head “she is not but she has visibly improved by a great amount” that is good enough news “send a carriage to pick her up and discreetly bring her to the palace” I say to her and she nods. Directing my attention to Felixstowe “tell the most trusted and discreet servants to prepare a room for her, make sure the room is fit for a Luna”
Felixstowe gives a look of confusion but does not object. I can confidently say even though it is hard to trust anyone in my position I trust Felixstowe with my life.
We go back to childhood and he has always been by my side, although I was stronger, taller and quite intelligent too. He was more calm and calculated, he always knew what to do, made sure I was safe and was very content as a beta.
I walked back to my chambers after having lunch with Felixstowe and invited the healer to dine with us. Her services were greatly appreciated. My beta followed me so we could discuss finding my Luna
“Do you believe the girl is the one?” He asks without hesitation, he was always blunt
“I believe I want to find out, even if she is not based on how we found her she probably has nowhere to go. I will convince her to marry me and treat her like mine” he looked at me probably thinking my plan was ridiculous
“Marrying just anyone will not cure your curse and you know that my lord” that is true but there is always a loophole
“We will pretend I am cured whilst still looking for my real mate. It will all be a rouse and any death that occurs during my bloodthirst you must promise to cover up” his expression gave him away, I know my plan is starting to make sense
“We still have to make sure she agrees, no one finds out and the number of deaths must be very little. We will also have to take care of family members affected” I nod already knowing how risky my plan was.
Many kings never find their true mates because of putting their kingdom first, their marriages were mostly out of convenience and for reproduction. My case is different because of this wretched curse. Now that I know I might be assassinated I must forget about curing the curse and focus on having a child to succeed me and not dying.
“We still have to prepare for war if they try to force me out of my position as alpha” I tell him knowing how difficult my situation is.
“I have started secretly rallying supporters and resources for defence incase of a war but do you know who they want to make your successor?”
I think deeply about his question, I was so worried about being removed I never thought about who they planned on replacing me with
“Could you send some of our spies to find out who my planned successor will be?” He nods and leaves me to my thoughts.
My life has become so complicated, my father never told me about the struggles of being a leader. I am at the brink of breaking down from all this but I must be strong for my pack and for myself because at the end of the day I have no one but myself. I hope this girl is actually my Luna
