Alpha King's Witch Princess

Chapter 4

Zelda's POV

I start walking to the Alpha's office. Now called the King's office as well, but we just need a little more time adjusting to the fact that it's King's office. It's been just one day since Maddox's coronation and life doesn't give him or me at least one single break!

I wonder what is happening back there. Maddox just asked me to leave but I know there will be shock. There will be outrage. There will be many more things and I want to stay back with him.

But what is in front of me is the same level of urgency. We cannot let witches stay for long on the pack lands. That will only create more problems than we already have.

I take a few deep breaths as I walk into the familiar pack house. This is where I was most of the time, when Maddox was in hospital. That was some pretty tough time back then.

"Princess," they all bow once again as soon as I walk in.

"You people should stop doing this wherever and whenever!" I almost scream in frustration but they don't say anything.

"It is the respect we have for the royals, Princess Zelda" one of the ladies smiles wide at me and I wonder how they know my name. Maybe Maddox or I told them during yesterday's encounter. Or maybe they did a small background check before they came here. Whatever the reason. Not my concern.

"So.. what is it that cannot wait? I promised you people that I will come there as soon as I clear my head" I tell them as I sit in Maddox's chair. The only two people who can sit on it are him and me.

"We just wanted to check on you, Princess. And-" the same lady who spoke yesterday and earlier stops talking and looks at another lady. No. Girl. She is young and seems like my age.

"She is Blair. Her mother was the wingwoman for your mother and it is now Blair's duty to serve you" she introduces the dark haired girl to me. She is pretty.

"Hello Blair," I smile at her and she bows to me.

"It will be my utmost pleasure to serve you, Princess" she says as she stands on her feet again.

"I will also be the representative to the witch kingdom. Anything that comes to you, should pass through me and I will also be your protector" she smiles at me and I nod.

"Even though I don't see why I need protection, I will accept your services as the representative and the wingwoman thing" I say and she smiles in delight.

"So.. is that why you are here?" I ask them and they all see each other's faces.

"Princess Zelda, it is your rightful place to live and rule the witch territories. This is a rival shelter and now that we found you, it is time to come home" Blair says and I just stare at her.

Okay. It makes sense that they think I should live there with them. But I have many people here to answer. The entire pack took me in as their own.

"I will need some time for that. I cannot just find out who I am and then abandon the people who always cared for me" I say.

"But Princess -"

"If you have any respect for the Royals or me in general, then wait for my arrival instead of storming here whenever you want to" I say and I don't know why my voice sounds stern. Has it always been like that?

"Blair will stay back so I can know anything about what's happening there. If you want to state any emergency, feel free to contact her" I say in a voice of dismissal and they didn't have any other option but to obey it.

Lucia nods at me and then gestures towards the door. And she eventually takes them away and far from my sight. But Blair is here, by my side.

"Where is Maddox?" I ask the guard right outside the pack office. He mindlinks someone before answering me,"at the pack house"

I look at Blair and I nod, asking her to follow me.

"What is the situation back there in the witch kingdom?" I ask her and she nods before answering.

"The kingdom is in ruins, Princess. After the war ended, a few werewolves stormed into the kingdom one night and lit a fire. It was huge enough to destroy most of the kingdom. We are recovering but it's tough without a Royal who could support our claims to the supernatural races" she says and I did not know werewolves could have done that. But then again, it's a war. What can someone do other than that?

I walk towards the pack house in silence and think about ways we can put an end to this already. Because Maddox and I always have something to deal with and there is often a lot on our plates.

As I walk inside the pack house, I see one of the pack member's faces in horror. He looks at me, bows to me and walks away without saying a word.

That is very unusual.

I walked in to see Maddox wiping his hand to a cloth while Chloe was just waiting. Once Maddox gives her the bloodied cloth, she takes that and walks away.

"What is happening?" I ask Maddox and he just smiles with a shrug.

"Maddox chopped the balls of a man who disrespected him and talked back about you" Edgar tells me with a smirk and that smirk screams that he is proud of his best friend.

"Maddox, that's not you" I try arguing but he just looks at me and shrugs again.

"Love, now that you are a Princess too.. you'll know when to be harsh and when to be loving"

is all he says before walking away with Kelsie as he talks about something. Edgar throws his arm over my shoulder and starts talking about something but I don't hear anything. Did Maddox really do that? I know he is capable of violence but it feels different now.
