DAMON.

　　I woke up to the beautiful sound of the chirping birds' voices, stretching my body widely with a yawn before leaving the bed. I closed the curtain which had given access to the sun which was penetrating into my eyes. I could feel my head aching badly right now. Last night I couldn't get a good sleep. I was busy contemplating on what my mum advised me on.

　　Before I could sleep really late in the night, I was busy thinking and cracking my head on what decision I should take concerning the advice my mum gave to me. It is really a hard thing to think of. I mean I love Carlisle even though I don't think I can ever have her love again and the ultimatum is at the corner. I really don't know what to decide on if I should just agree to my mother's plan because I can't afford to lose the Alpha throne of my lineage. I really don't know what to do not but I think by the end of the day I should be able to to decide on the next phase of action. I have to take my bath and sit down to think properly. This is not one should just decide not to regret his or her action at the end. That is the reason why I have to take my time to ponder over the decision I should take.

　　Pulling off my nighties, I threw it at the clothes rack and stared at my handsome appearance in the mirror from afar. I put on flip-flops and walked into the bathroom. I switched on the shower. I ran my hand through my long hair as water flowed down to my face. I brushed my teeth before switching it off and shoved myself into the jacuzzi tub which had been filled with warm water. I grab a fragrance soap and scrub my body for a while before rinsing my body. I stood up from the jacuzzi with water dripping from my body, reached for a white towel beside me and wrapped it around my waist together with my chest region, walked out of the bathroom with a huff sound. I walked toward the wardrobe at the left side of my direction, pulled it open and brought out a nice shirt and a black jean. I slammed the door shut and put on the clothes which fitted me perfectly with my figure showing off my manly abs.

　　I walked toward a couch and sat on it with my legs crossed against each other, reaching for a werewolf novel which was on the wooden table. I picked it up and dusted the cover of the book. The title was really a good one that drew me in connection with the novel. I flip the first chapter and begin to read it with full attention. All of a sudden I suddenly felt the urge to drink, my throat felt dried and sour. I think I need to call the attention of the guard to get a maid who will bring the hot tea which I need right now. I called for the attention of the guard at my chamber doorstep, he knocked at the door twice before walking into my room. He bowed his head in respect.

　　"Good day Alpha, you called for me?"

　　"Well, actually I just want you to inform any maid around to get me hot tea. I repeat hot tea. The maid should be here in quick alacrity"he bowed his head and turned to the door. He walked out of my chamber. I took my gaze from him and fixed it on the novel continuing from the page I stopped. I was beginning to get to an interesting part of the story when I heard a soft knock on the door. I had to drop the novel on the table before looking up at the door and making a squeaking sound. I looked up as I perceived the scent of someone familiar.

　　"Good day Alpha" the same maid I had sex with yesterday said with a tray of hot tea and I nodded before pointing at the wooden table. She bowed her head in respect and dropped the tray of the wooden table. Her face was filled with fear. I stared at her carefully with my eyes scanning every part of her body and I was glad that she had adhered to my order. The dress she wore is really a decent one at that. She wouldn't even dare oppose my order because she knows how angry or annoyed I am and how my judgment could be.

　　"Thanks, you can take your leave, come back in the next minute to return this" she nodded gently before walking away. I grabbed the cup of tea and gulped down a little of the content. I picked the novel and flipped to the next page before gulping the whole content of the tea. I slammed the cup on the wooden table and heaved out softly. I looked up as a knock landed on the door.

　　"Come in, the door is open"almost immediately, a guard walked in. He moved forward and bowed his head. I wonder what the guard needs because he isn't an ordinary guard but the royal messenger. Hope he isn't here to remind me or inform the council elders of the pack about me in their meeting. I really hate this. I think I should hear him out before concluding or deciding on anything.

　　"Good day Alpha. I have a message from your from the throne room"

　　"What do you mean by that?"I hope he isn't talking about the goddamn meeting with the council elders.

　　"Alpha, the Alpha of one of the neighborhood pack River flow pack is present at the throne room and he seeks your attention with his Luna"immediately he said the last word Luna I felt my heart broken immediately. I really hate this, I mean being without a mate. He is my childhood friend with a mate and two children which saddened my heart. It was indeed a painful thing but I didn't let it be obvious to the guard.

　　"You can take your leave. Tell him that I would be with them in the next few minutes. Hope they have been entertained by the maids?"

　　"Yes Alpha"he nodded before walking toward the door. He paused as I called for his attention.

　　"Announce my presence to them in the next few seconds' ' with this, he nodded and walked out of my chamber. I stood up from the wooden chair and put on nice shoes which matched perfectly with the dress. I adjusted my shirt properly before walking out of my chamber. I walked out of my chamber, passed through different hallways which lead to the throne room responding to the greetings which were thrown at me.

　　Getting to the doorstep, I heaved out imagining the reason or cause of his visit because he doesn't visit me if he doesn't need my help or consultant. The guard at the doorstep pulled the door open for me and walked in before me to announce my presence to my visitors. I walked into the throne room with my shoe echoing heavily around the throne room. I stopped on my track as my eyes landed on Kingston and his Luna. He also approached me with a smile on his way with his mate behind him. We embraced each other with a cheerful mood.

　　"What's up with you my old friend? It is my pleasure to have you and your mate here in my pack. Hope there is nothing that I see you in my pack by this time?"I said jokily and they laughed softly.

　　"You don't have to remind me it is your pack,"he said softly with a chuckle. Even though he is trying to look strong I could see a glint of pain in his eyes.

　　It has been a very long time since we last saw each other. I moved from him and hugged his mate who also hugged me back in a way I didn't understand. She seems to be as clingy as before. I left their midst and walked toward my golden wolf fur throne, sitting on the throne gently. We had some friendly old time chats before I faced him with a stern look.

　　"I think there is no need to hide whatever is in your mind because it is obvious already. So can you tell me why you are here? Because the Kingston I know wouldn't come to visit me without any tangible reason"he stared at me constantly before nodding.

　　"Well, actually the main reason I'm here isn't to greet you alone but to ask you for your help which I would be glad if you would render, ''he said with his expression visible of worries which caused me to wonder what could be the cause of his weariness.

　　"And what could be that problem or obstacle that could be the reason for my friend's weariness? Would you like to share the problem?"he nodded softly before talking.

　　"Well, recently my pack hasn't been the same. Different things have been happening in my pack. A deadly plague invaded my pack and killed my pack members. The elders have given me an ultimatum of some days to get the cure by all cost or I would be dethroned which is the thing I'm avoiding. The person who had the cure has refused to give me if I can't give out my mate for him to have one nightstand with her which you know I can't accept."

　　Throughout his explanation his mate Celine's attention wasn't on the matter but her gaze was on my exposed manly abs. She gawked at me but I scoffed. I really thought she would have stopped this craziness of her. As a teen age then, she has shown interest in me cause I'm tagged the most handsome. But unfortunately for her when the goddess wanted to give her mate, she gave Kingston as her mate. Even though she wasn't happy with it, she had to accept it.

　　His case seems to be similar to mine just that my mate rejected me and his because of the deadly plague which invaded his pack. This is really serious and complicated. He needs the leaf and also can't give his mate to another man. Well what did we want me to do because I also have a pending serious matter at hand which I'm yet to solve.

　　"So what do you think I can do for you because you haven't said what you want me to do for you?"

　　"Well, I would like you to join hands with me and wage war against the pack and then forcefully take the cure from him"I didn't ask for the name of the pack because I don't have any interest in this issue or matter.

　　"You know, I would have liked to help you wage war against the so-called pack but you know what? You came at the wrong because I'm also in a serious situation which seem to be similar with you even though it is different entirely"

　　"I'm really sorry I can't help you guys. Hope you get help from elsewhere"his countenance changed immediately even though he tried to hide it.

　　"Okay no problem. It is nice visiting you in your pack and I love the development of your pack"he said with a smile.

　　"Thanks"

　　"It's a good thing you're fine but what of your mate or don't tell me that you're yet to find your mate. This is indeed bad because I could remember when I'd leave you for Kingston. It had really been long,,,"

　　Kingston cut in and interrupted her harshly. I know she purposely said this just to make me feel sad but she doesn't know that her words can't do anything to me because I'm not in the right state of mind. Kingston apologized for her utterances and I had no choice but to accept his apology. I walked him out of the throne room and he departed back to his destination. What a stressful meeting or day.

　　I could call it a day.
