King of Rouges

Alpha

"Come in, Elvira. I can smell you lingering"

"Yes, sorry. Um. Dani received this from Royal Warriors while she and the others were at the Market."

"Well, well, well. The King wants me to go play nice with him and the other Alphas."

"It's about those Vampire attacks, you know. How awful that must be for those packs." Elvira says sadly.

It was terrible, really. At least 100 wolves from differnet packs murdered. Left without a single ounce of blood. Children, adults, the old. No one was safe.

"I know. But what do they want from me? What have any of them done for any of us? Not a damn thing" I spat.

"You need to go. We can help and you know it. It's for those wolves. Not for the Alphas" she snapped at me.

I roll my eyes, "Fine, fine, fine. But I'm not going to play nice."

"Never thought you would. Now about your clothes..."

"What about my clothes? You don't like this look?" I sweep my hands in front of my sweatpants, tshirt and sneakers.

"Uh, no. It's bad. You look like some human's dad"

"Well that's rather insulting. Here I was thinking I looked relaxed and chill" I chuckled at the very disappointed look on her face. She never appreciates my casual looks.

"Sure. If that's what you call that. Let's go. You gotta show those Alphas who is boss. They are meeting in two days, for both Saturday and Sunday, so need a few outfits. And yes, you will be staying there for both days, don't even".

Why is she so bossy all the time? I thought I was the King here.

"Aye, Aye, Captain" I salute her.

"Ew. Please don't" she scrunches her nose at me, "we're going. Stop being weird. They won't take you seriously if you do that there"

"Eh, they'll take one good look at my face and half of them will probably piss themselves. I really hope that fucker Randolph is there. I can't wa-"

"You won't be doing a damn thing to Randolph! I don't care how much you hate him and what he did. This is for the wolves. We just went through that. Not the time for your revenge, understand me?" Elvira yells at me.

Seriously. I really hope no one hears our interactions, otherwise I won't be Rogue King long.

"Okay, okay, I'll pocket my revenge for another day. Happy?" I put my hands up in defense.

"Happy? No, you've been too annoying today for that. Satisfied for the moment? Yes. Now, get your ass in the car. We're going, King." She says mockingly.

This is going to be a long ass day.

Early Saturday Morning

"Get your ass in gear, you're going to be late!" Elvira yells at me while throwing a pillow at me head.

I hear Grant chuckling in the background while pulling out my small suitcase.

"She's in a mood today, Your Highness. Better do what she says" Grant says, still laughing.

I'm surrounded by assholes.

"Hey! Last time I checked, I was the fucking King around here, has that changed recently? No? Then chill the fuck out" I used a bit of my alpha tone.

Grant immediately bows his head a bit.

But Elvira.

That bitch looks me dead in the eyes.

"Get. Your. Ass. Up. King"

As much as she annoys me, and hates me I guess, she's my right hand for a reason. She gives no fucks.

"Alright, alright. Jesus."

"Okay, behave now. Be on your best behavior. Don't start shit, okay? Because then you'll have to finish it and no one needs to end up dead, got it?" Elvira is now talking to me like I am a kindergartener on the first day of school.

What is with her?

"Yes, mommmm."

She rolls her eyes at me, "sorry about this morning, okay, I just really want you to help. You can do amazing things. They need to see that. But they can't if your being well, you. Like normal you. You need to be scary, rouge King you."

"Elvira. It's fine. I'm fine. I will do whatever it takes. For the wolves. For the rest of your people who aren't out killing children. I will do everything I can. Okay?"

She only nods. I pull her into a hug.

"See you, Sunday night, Monday morning at the latest. I'll keep you updated, alright?"

"Yes. Behave, my leige." She smiles brightly at me.

I love this crazy woman.

I get in the SUV. Wave goodbye to my pack. It is not a long drive to the palace of the Royal Wolves.

I had been there once before, many years ago when the current King's father reigned. My father had taken me.

I go now, hoping to avoid seeing that man. No matter what I promised Elvira, I will not be able to control myself if I see that man.

My father.

Alpha Randolph.
