CHAPTER TWO
TITLE: Suspicious
ALPHA KHALID'S COURTROOM
Alpha Khalid POV
I sat on my throne, glaring at the incompetent fools of cabinet members, bowing their heads foolishly in front of me. My blood kept boiling in anger, as I glared at them, I could feel my wolf, crawling dangerously out of my eyes, threatening to consume me, but I tried as much as to keep it in check, I didn't wanna lose it, not now.
"I'll ask again, and if you dare to tell me nonsense, then you know what I'm capable of doing. For the last time, who helped the rogue escaped from the prison?" I thundered again, losing my patience. I felt my whole body heating up, the atmosphere was almost on fire, and I could see it on their faces, they were feeling the heat.
"Forgive me Alpha, it's all my fault, I was on duty that night....I...I didn't know how it..."
Before he could finish his statement, I teleported to his back, and touching him with my hand, which was already on fire, he burnt into ashes.
"Find the rogue, else, you're all dead." I roared, before teleporting out of the throne room. How dare those fools! That bastard, dare to betray me, and thinks he can actually escape me? No way! When I lay my hands on him, I'll make sure I make him go through so much pains, that he'll beg to be killed. He thinks he can come to my pack and spy on us, but he'll regret it.
Teleporting to the woods, I screamed out angrily, as my whole body lit up in fire, and soon, some of the trees were affected, as they caught fire, burning furiously.
"Calm down Khalid, you have to control yourself." I said to myself, as I kept grunting, trying to calm my demon, and soon, the fire disappeared from my body, but the trees didn't stopped burning.
I suddenly became hungry, and the urge to hunt, suddenly flashed through me, and I shift furiously, before going farther into the woods, looking for what to eat. My wolf is the most strongest and fierce in the whole pack, I mean, what do you expect from an Alpha? My wolf never misses its target, no matter how distanced it. After a few minutes, I was able to hunt down a deer, which I devoured.
Changing into my human form, I cleaned the trail of blood from my mouth, before teleporting to my spacious room.
I walked into bathroom, had a long relaxing bath, and wore a towel around my waist, before walking out of the bathroom to my room.
"Who's there?" I asked loudly, as I took a seat before the mirror, looking at my reflection. What more can I ask from moon goddess? She blessed me with an handsome face, perfect body, and made me the most powerful man, just tell me what more I could ask for.
"Yes your highness." One the maids, serving me said from outside. They didn't need anyone to tell them I needed their services, as two maids came rushing in.
"Yes Alpha." They both bowed, before walking over to where I was sitting down.
Closing my eyes, I relaxed myself on the chair, as I waited for them to start their jobs, and soon, I felt two hands on my shoulders, giving me the best massage I've been longing all day for. All my servants are best at what they do.
In less than two hours, they were done with dressing me up, after which they left my room, leaving me alone.
Walking elegantly into my study room, I picked an ancient book from the book shelf, before going to sit on the chair, after which I crossed my legs and started opening the book, page by page.
"Where are you Khalid?" I suddenly heard her voice echoed in my head. She's the only one that dare to speak in my head, and that person, is my sister, Moon.
Letting out a soft groan, I closed my eyes briefly in frustration, and decided to ignore her, as I continued reading the book.
"Where are you Khalid? Don't you dare mess with me if I find you myself, just know you're a goner." Her voice threatened in my head. Gosh! This girl is so annoying.
"I want to be alone." I said in my mind, and before I knew what was happening, the door burst opened, and she walked in elegantly, with a smug look on her face. Ok I'm screwed now.
"How dare you Khalid?" She growled angrily, as she sauntered to where I was sitting down.
"What's the problem now Moon?" I asked frustratingly, taking my full attention to the book.
"Let's go have fun outside the pack. Let's visit your friend." She whined, as she sat opposite me.
"Not today Moon, I'm not in a good mood now, and besides, I don't have a plan of going to Moon stone pack anytime soon, so you can go with the guards, if you so much want to see him." I said with finality in my voice, not raising my gaze to look at her.
"Cmon Khalid, it's just an harmless..."
"Don't make me repeat myself Moon." I said coldly, not sparing her a glance. I hate showing her my bad side, but then, I hate being bothered. I'm used to giving orders, and not taking them.
She snorted angrily, before storming out of the study, banging the door behind her.
"Now my mood is ruined." I sighed softly, then closed the book and kept it back in the shelf, before walking out.
"I need fresh air." I muttered, as I opened my door, and walked out. The guards and maids kept bowing to me, as I walked pass them. I got to the garden, and took a deep breath, as I joined my hands at my back, staring into space, the fresh air, fanning my face.
Looking around the garden, my attention was drawn to a flower, as a strong scent filled the garden...
