Chapter 5

"Prove me what?" All eyes are on the one who speak behind me. I turn around and saw a stunning handsome man I ever laid my eyes on except for the King of course. "You must be Alpha Duren?" I asked. "I'm flattered that you already know my name." he look at Lily "Lily is she the one you’re talking about?" "Yes, Alpha Duren" Lily answered. "What is your name rogue?" He asked. "I'm Katharina Omnirous, former member of Omnirous Pack." He looks surprised at my words. "Are you related to Alpha Ramus Omnirous?" He asks. "He is my Dad." "Well, well, well ..... What makes you leave your own pack and decided to join mine?" "It's a conflict between Alpha Ramus and me" I said. "I hope you don't mind but what if accepting you will bring problems to my pack because of your conflict with your Dad." He explained "Don't worry, we have our agreement. We both need to leave each other because we suffocate each other life." I said.  "Hmmmmmm..... okay, I will give you a chance since you’re willing to join my pack and become my fighter." He said. I almost laugh and hug him because of my happiness until he said the words that make me nervous "but you need to defeat my three best rogue fighters tomorrow or else you will become rogues like them." He said before leaving me surprised in his words. "Hey Kath, are you alright?" Tom "Who is the best fighter in here?" I ask him. "It's Arman, Lukas and Lily." He said. "Oh my gosh! I need to fight Lily too." I said. I didn’t expect her to be one of his best fighters here. "Don't worry too much because we know you can beat them, Lily can fake defeated by you so you need to focus to Arman and Lukas tomorrow." Bill. "Don't worry about me Kath, we will be okay. No hard feelings. Just a friendly fight." Lily. "Now let's party and be happy. Tomorrow will be a big day. It's not really bad to become rogue as long as you have a group. It gives us the power over our wolf." Cheska. "Thank you, guys, for comforting words. I hope it turns out good tomorrow." I said, setting aside my fears for tomorrow's fight. I look to the sky. The stars are shining so bright. Actually, I want to become a fighter in the castle for the King, but it's not bad to try in this pack. *************** Zeus Point of view I look up to the sky and enjoy the quietness of the night.  She's our mate, you need to find her. My wolf said. He became distant to me the day I said to my Mother that I don't need a mate. I know that if I find her I will reject her, because Father already settled and planned my wedding to Loui. It's nothing to me since I don't care who my wife will be. I'm a royal; we don't usually find our mate because we don't usually go out and we’re busy with our duties. But after Mother knows that I found her that night she become excited, she's happy and I never saw her that way. I am torn again because of my emotions. Moon Goddess what have you done? I'm questioning her once again. I can't be the mate she wants me to be. "Zeus, the meeting of the first two packs will be tomorrow. I'm just informing you. The Queen will be going with us." Tyler. "What? She can't do that! She will endanger herself." I said. "But that's her decision Zeus. Maybe we should let her. I see how excited she is in this idea."  "I know. I saw that too. It’s like she’s been free from being a prison here." I said. "Before I leave, I want to inform you that Loui Missanus already arrived and she's now in the dining room waiting for you." Tyler. "I'll be there in a minute." "Okay." Tyler said before leaving me. Another problem arrived. I don't like her even though her beauty and fighting skill is naturally good. His father is our family good friend. She's not my mate. My wolf said. ‘I never said that you need to accept her’. I said. ‘I'm only reminding you’. My wolf said. I don't have time for this argument with my wolf right now, knowing that I only met him last night. As I set myself in my throne in the middle of dining room, I saw Loui sitting in the Queen's chair. I look at my Mother and father sitting in my left. "Loui, I think you need to exchange sit with my Mother. She's still the Queen of this place." I said. "But the King let me sit here." Loui answered. I look at my Father and back to her. "I didn't say that Loui, I am the King now, so you must obey me." I said. She looks at my Father for help but My Father knows me too well. "Come on Loui, you change sit with Eleonora." My Mother and Loui exchange their sit "but after the marriage you will be sitting on your rightful throne." His reassuring words make me smirk. If he only knew what Mother plan, he will be angry for sure.  "Eleonora, where are you going tomorrow?" Father "My King and I will visit Gramus and Octavus pack." She answered very well; you cannot see any hidden agenda in our visits tomorrow. "For what?" Father’s looking very curious. "For the new King to formally introduce himself to our people and see how big his Kingdom is" She said. I love this scene. "But you will endanger yourself outside the Kingdom. It’s not going to happen Eleonora!!" Father said. "I think we need to set some royalty rules here Arthur. First, I am still the Queen of the werewolf world so you need to call me Queen not Eleonora, second don't raise your voice on me while we are eating. Third, The King and I will go tomorrow and that's final!" She said before leaving us. I never saw my mother contradict my father words, she always follows and bow down to his words, but today, everything is change. I stand and follow my mother. I saw her in my room standing near the window. "Mother, what happened there?" I asked. "It's time for me to stand for myself. I never had a chance to do it long time ago." She said.  "Tell me, what's the problem Mother? I can sense something is wrong" I said. "Your Father is not my Mate; our marriage is plan by your Grandfather and my father. They're best friends. I never wanted to become a Queen but I can't go against my parents." She moves and sits in my bed, I also sit beside her. I don’t know this story. "But before the wedding, my mate saw me and he grab my hands. I feel the bond, connection, everything. I'm so happy that day but my family keep insisting that I need to marry the king. I try to escape but before we can make it, my Father killed him. I'm so devastated that day and your Father, I know he also doesn't like me and we try to work out to bare an heir for the throne and you my son is the best thing that ever happened to me. That's why I don't want you to do the same mistake I made." She touches my face and kisses me in the forehead before she leaves me with so many thoughts. All my life, my father treated me and trained me to become the best King for our world. He told me that people first before heart. But still...... It's my choice if I wanted my mate or not. ‘And it also my choice.’ My wolf said.
