The King's mate

Becoming stronger

Melania's POV

The next few days I trained with Alice learning how to channel my energy and the energy around me from nature. At first, it made me tired and feel weak when I channel my own energy but the more I practice and learn how to not use too much energy the stronger I became. I learned about healing and how to use my mind to channel the magic. We trained for about a week together then Alice said "I taught you all I know Melania and I can not teach you anything anymore, it is time for me to go home. I will always look over this pack and try to help them where I can" I gave Alice a hug and thanked her for helping me. "It is my pleasure your Highness and I know this world needs you to fight the evil that is threatening it"  We gave Alice a goodbye dinner with the pack and I felt a little sad as I was getting used to her and will miss her a lot. "Remember if you ever needed me I am only a phone call away," she said before leaving. After Alice left I keep practicing every day, becoming stronger every day. Sapphire thinks we are ready to meet our mate, but I am not sure that I am. I fear the rejection that might come and even feared for my life, I heard stories about the King and it is a well-known fact that he sees a mate as a weakness, and have vowed to never have a mate. "You should stop being afraid Melania and start to trust me and the Goddess, This world is in grave danger and needs you and your mate. I know the Goddess will not allow us to get killed if we need to fight for this world. Relax and accept the fact that your freedom is linked to the only person on this earth that can complete you." Sapphire was not happy with me to say the lease. "I just want freedom and to feel safe for once in my life Sapphire I suffered a lot for many years and it is difficult to trust someone with my life and happiness" I replied with a sigh. "I understand dear believe me I saw everything you went through," she said feeling a bit guilty and sad. "Please Sapphire never feel guilty, you are the best thing that happened to me since my mother died" she laughed "Well that will be until you meet our mate," she said. I wonder about the dream I had and I ask Sapphire "The dream I had I know it was about our mate. You must know the Goddess very well. Did she intervene" "I know her very well my dear as I am one of her most trusted warriors, but I really do not know? She is very mischievous, maybe she sends the dream to our mate as well." "I feel him Sapphire he is worried about something and it has to do with the rogues," I told Sapphire. "Well our bond with our mate is very strong as I know Hunter." she said "Tell me more about you and Hunter Sapphire, please!" I begged her. "Not know little one the time is not right yet" Oh well I tried. Looks like I will just have to wait until the time is right.

Unknown POV

"What do you mean a she-wolf rescued the Alpha's daughter and that Jim got killed? He was a strong warrior!" I growled at the 6 wolves standing in front of me they were scared I could smell their fear, I smile I have that effect of these rogues, I am supposed to be the King of werewolves! I felt disgusted by these rogues and having to live among them while I was supposed to live in a castle. I killed my weak brother and was planning on taking the Luna for myself but that damn nephew of mine, showed up and spoiled my plans, she also refused to come with me willingly and I could not carry her and run at the same time,  I am strong, I am royal, I have Royal blood!!! My father chased me away years ago when I challenged him and lost, I was never to set foot in the kingdom again! It was my kingdom, the crown of the king was rightfully mine! I will kill my nephew and take what is mine by force, my army is getting stronger. I take packs and their land and force them into fighting for me, those who oppose me and refuse to surrender I kill, I collect rogues from all over they know how to fight and are ruthless. But some she-wolf came to destroy my plan to take more land and get more wolves to fight. She must be strong if she could kill Jim. I lost my witch Alice as well and I am really mad, who is this she-wolf? Can it be the legendary Queen that everyone was talking about I have to catch her before she reaches the kingdom I can not let my nephew become even stronger than he is right now? I knew he was special the day he was born and that is why I challenged my father to become Alpha and King of the werewolves. I was mad, she was supposed to be my mate and my nephew was supposed to be my son! But she chose my brother over me!!!!! I will take my nephew's Queen and break her. Make her mine!!! My revenge will be sweet and I will become King of the werewolf with such a powerful mate by my side. Losing his mate will weaken my nephew! I just need to get to her before he does and I know where she is!! I smile and think of the plan that was forming in my mind. "What did this she-wolf looked like?" I ask the rogue just to make sure it is the one I will be seeking. "Her fur looks like the rays of the moon and her eyes looked like ice. She is the Queen of werewolves, that was what she told Jim before she killed him as well, but we felt it even before she killed Jim. She silenced and froze us so we could not warn Jim, your highness" they confirmed what I already was suspecting.  Well, little nephew looks like I will be finding your mate before you do. I smiled and my mood was a little lighter, so I had mercy on the six wolves that ran away like cowards and killed them fast. No cowards can be in my army!

David's POV

"Did you trace her yet" I growled at one of my warriors "I traced her bank card to a small town not so far from here Alpha" he responded, but I could see something is bothering him? "So why is she not here yet?" I was getting irritated. "There are complications Alpha" "What complications? You can't catch a weak human?" "That is just it Alpha she is not human, she has a wolf and a very strong wolf at that, rumors are your half-sister is the future Queen of werewolves" What??!! I was shocked the strong she-wolf everyone was talking about was my half-sister? It can not be! She will come back and destroy me and my pack. She will take revenge! I took out my anger on the one that tracked her and killed him, I also did not want the rest of the pack to know who she really is.

I was going through her thinks when I found the letter from the bank. I knew she had a bank account and put a tracer on her in case she used the account. I was happy when I realized my plan worked a few minutes ago when the tracker told me he tracked her down, but now I am in despair, as the reality of my situation hit me. She was the Queen of the King of werewolves and one of them will kill me. I needed help and advice and I am now sorry I killed my old man and most of the pack elders, as they could have helped me out of this one. I am on my own and I never felt more helpless than at this moment. Maybe if I knew who she was I would have acted differently and I could have used her to become close to the king. She fooled me.  She fooled all of us all this time!! I was furious and I took it out on the packhouse and anyone that dared to get too close to me. I was such a fool for falling for her act and here I thought I was the one with the acting skills.

I knew there was just one thing I can do I will have to join the King of rogues the current King's Uncle, in the war against the king. I knew he was approaching all packs to stand by him most rejected him as their king, they were either too afraid of the real King or they just did not respect the Rogue King enough. He started taking packs, killing or kidnapping alphas or their family members that were close to them in an attempt to scare other alphas into joining him. I did not like him much but he has no other choice than to join him. If only I knew that bloody half-sister’s identity long ago I could've killed her or even better used her against the king, to make him bow the knee to me, but I heard that he was not interested in a mate and maybe if I can kill her, with the help of the rogue king I can gain favor with the king and betray the old rogue. I had a lot of options, but I needed to catch her first before I can think about anything else. I wanted more power I was power-hungry ever since I was a kid and was looked down upon even by that useless little half-sister of mine. I realize now that she was not as useless and weak as I thought. But my pride was hurt that she was a chosen one and not me! I deserve more power than her!! I should have been a king or a king's son, not just a mere bastard son of a useless drunk Alpha no one respected! I will have power and my little half-sister is going to help me get it! She just does not know it yet, I smiled I will get the better of her once more!

I will have to find the rogue king first and surrender my pack and land to him, but I need to win his trust and become his second in command, maybe just maybe he will allow it if he knows that she is my half-sister and I know her weaknesses. That should count for something. I must try it. I will go to Maximus myself and surrender, it is my only chance at survival and maybe I can win his trust so much that he will fall into the same trap I set for my father. David the King of werewolves. I smile I like the sound of that! I am cunning and if I could play my role as the obedient loyal son for years, I am sure I can play my role as the loyal second in command to the King of rogue for a few months as well. He is an old wolf and although he is of Royal blood he must become weaker with age. Like I said I had a lot of options, but first things first I needed help in catching her. I ordered my beta to look after business and the pack for me as I had to go to a very important meeting. Little did he and the pack know I was on my way to sell them out!
