Chapter 1

It’s a beautiful and colorful morning on an island called Langerhans. The birds can be heard chirping as the cool breeze caresses the air, making the kingdom a bit cold. giving the wolves fair weather for the day. Queen Ann had just gotten out of bed with a protruding stomach, showing she was heavily pregnant and almost due for delivery. She is an alpha female werewolf married to an alpha male werewolf. They both rule their kingdoms with peace and equity. Queen Ann woke up to a kiss on her lips from her king, King Liam, who gave her her usual herbal tea made from the garden of Langerhan, which they believed would make the baby in her womb stronger. A blissful morning to the most beautiful alpha queen alive. He said this as he handed her the herbal tea. "Oh my, darling king, I never regret the day I chose to be your queen," she said, taking the tea from him. I love you so much, my queen. He said "I love you more, my king," she said, and they shared a passionate kiss. Ok, dear, get ready. You remember that we were given an invitation by the beta king to come for dinner this evening, and we also need to address the people by noon about our whereabouts and also about the full moon celebration in the next two days. Yes, darling, that's right. Please help me tell the maids to prepare my bath so I can get ready. Ok, dear. The king did as she said, and in no time she had her bath. Before she came out, her clothes were already picked out for her to wear. She wore her gown; her hair was done by the maids; and she wore her Theora. Soon enough, it was 3:00 pm, and they were set to go for dinner in the land of the beta rulers, but they had to address their people first of all. They came out of the palace to address their people, as they had already sent messages about the meeting, so the whole pack of wolves was there. Good day, my beautiful people of Langerhans! As soon as he started addressing them, his eyes became red, indicating the sign of an alpha king. Today we are embarking on a very important journey to the land of the beta pack wolves. We were given an invitation to come over for dinner. And as you all know, the next full moon is in two days, and hopefully that's when my wife, your queen, gives birth to the heir apparent. The celebration is going to be massive, so please, while we are out, guard your land with all diligence and protect each other. Remember that we are one big family, and family loves, protects, and supports one another. Thank you. After his speech, his eyes became normal again as he took his wife's hands, and they both walked down the hall into their chariot. On their way, the people kept singing their praise. Long live the king, Liam! Long live! Long live King Liam! He waved at them on their way until their voices faded away when they got outside the gates. —————— They got to the land of the beta pack werewolves, where they were warmly welcomed by the people. They got to the palace and were given a special place to sit and wait while they went to get their king. While they were waiting, the queen suddenly felt pressed and wanted to ease up. My king, can you please help me tell them to show you the route to the restroom? I want to ease myself up. Ok, my queen, he said. He came back after he was led by a maid to the guest room, which had an in-built toilet. He got back, assisted her up, and held her hands as they walked down the hallway to the guest room. On their way, they heard screams from a room that turned out to be the room for the king and queen of the beta kingdom. Queen Ann insisted that they stay and listen to their arguments if it was something they could solve. Beta rulers P.O.V. Queen Elsa was crying, and she said, My king, what is wrong with us? What have we done to deserve all this? Why can’t we carry our children? Whyyyy? but we have our princess. Which princess? You and I know that she isn’t our child; we both know that we bought her from her parents when we traveled to the outer part of the kingdom. Shhh!!! Don’t say that out loud. What if someone hears you? Who is around that’s going to hear us? We are in our room. You never know. King Carman said: Suddenly, they heard a sharp noise from outside their room. —————— Alpha pack rulers P.O.V. King Liam and Queen Kim were so shocked with what they heard, so all along these couples have been pretending to have an heir to their throne, not knowing they can’t even bear children. And the princess they have now is even a child they bought from someone they don’t even know. What if the child is an omega within themselves? They were about to leave when Queen Kim’s hand hit the jar on the table. It fell and broke, and it was not long before the rulers of the beta pack came and met them there. Their faces weren't pleasant at all. Oh, we are so sorry. We were just going to the toilet when my hands hit the jar and it fell. We promise to replace it. Queen Ann spoke as she urged King Liam to continue their journey. They went on their way, pretending that they didn’t hear anything. Although the king and queen of the beta pack looked suspicious of them. After everything, they had dinner and were offered a place to sleep until the next day. —————- Beta pack rulers P.O.V. My king, I suspect that the king and queen overheard our conversation back there. Me too, but how do we find out for sure? The king asked Queen Elsa. She was quiet for a moment before she said, "Give me a second," and went out of the room. She said this as she walked down to the rooms where the alpha rulers were given and dismissed all the guards. She got there and heard them discussing She stood there, eavesdropping on their conversation. ———- Queen Ann’s P.O.V. My dear king I still can’t believe what we overheard the beta pack rulers say; it still troubles me. How can they buy a child that isn’t even theirs? What if the child grows to become a bad omen? What can we say? It’s their life, their child, and their kingdom to rule, right? Yes, it is. But… But nothing, my queen. Why, then, are you perturbed? But it isn’t fair to their people; they shouldn’t be kept in the dark like that. If they at least cared to hear from their people, they would have all found a way around it and found a solution for their heir instead of buying someone else’s child. I just think it’s not right. Queen Ann said And yet I’m still saying it’s not our problem to deal with, right? I guess you’re right, then. "I'm always right," King Liam said. The discussion ended as they retired to bed. ——————— Queen Elsa’s P.O.V. I knew it; my suspicion was correct. They know our secret, oh God! What if they leak it out to our people? What’s going to happen then? She ran to her bedroom to inform her king. My king, I told you My suspicion was right; I overheard them talking about our secret. about how we shouldn’t have bought a child from someone we don’t know, and also about what if the child becomes a bad omen someday and how we shouldn’t have kept the situation away from our people. What!! Really?? King Carman exclaimed Yes, my king, I overheard everything. What do we do now? The queen asked. Kill them, he blurted out. Kill them? How? What if we sent the guards to kill them in their sleep and then feed their bodies to the birds of the air? No, we can’t do that; we are not sure if they told their people their whereabouts when they were leaving. What if they come looking for them? You are right, my queen. Ok, here’s what we would do: we would let them go to their kingdom safe and sound. Then we can attack them on the full moon by night and frame the western pack alpha for their death. That’s an excellent idea; that way we won’t be noticed or even suspected as their murderers. The next morning came, and it was just a few hours until the full moon for them to execute their plans. Because that way they would be more powerful since it’s a full moon. and also because they would need all the strength and strategy they needed to fight an alpha pack. They are like the strongest of all the species of werewolves, and they can’t just be killed out of the blue unless well planned and strategized.
