Chapter Twenty Six: Hers To Lie

Noni was right. Fazirya turned out to not be such a bitch after all. She was actually really sweet under all those layers of closed off walls she uses to shut the world out. For the past two weeks she and I had been preparing to go to the royal pack.

I know I'd just been at the Gustily Wolf pack for a short while but it felt right. Partly because Rohan spent every waking moment next to me making sure I was happy. But beside that I also seriously missed the Red Eclipse pack and Chrisshiano.

"Ready?" Fazirya asked as she strutted into my room. Black knee high boots and a simple silk dress yet she still looked amazing. She set her Louis Vuitton duffle bag down by the doorway and looked over at what I was doing.

I just hard a few stuff, hearing them all in my bag, I zipped it up and threw it over my shoulder and smiled up at her, "I'm ready" I said.

"Cool, we should get going", Fazirya said picking up her and leaving my room as I followed behind her only to be stopped by a brooding Rohan. "Not even a goodbye, fake mate, I'm hurt", Rohan pouted.

"Of course I was coming to say goodbye I'm not a monster", I defended myself. Leaving my bag to fall to the ground as I greedily jumped into his arms. "I'm going to miss you, true love", I smiled up at him as he snaked his arm tighter around my waist.

Rohan's eyes flashed a golden amber before his lips found mine. My heart beat skipped a beat and felt like it was pounding ten times faster as his delicious lips moved against mine and his hands on my waist pulled me in as my fingers found their way to his hair. Our blood bond was getting stronger and I could feel the tingles dancing under my skin as I gave in.

'Mars', Lycan whispered painfully to me.

I quickly pulled away regretting how amazing it felt to kiss him again, even though I'm not supposed to.

"I thought we agreed not to do that", I sighed against his lips as I looked into his eyes. "I'm not sorry", Rohan says staring right back into mine. Time fades from our reality and all I can hear is the guilty thumping of my own indecisive heart.

"I won't apologize for loving you Blair"

His arms leave me, taking their alluring warmth with them as they go and he walks away.

I stood rooted in my spot, the ghost feeling of his lips on my still lingering.

"Blair?" Fazirya called out as she peeped back at me. I picked up my duffle bag and followed her downstairs. We put our bags in the Maddie's trunk. Only a few pack warriors were accompanying us and Rohan had to stay behind as Alpha Regent.

"I really hope he doesn't burn my pack down", Fazirya chuckled as I started for the Royal Crimson Pack. "He won't", I said as I drove out of the Gustily Pack, "Well at least I believe he'll try not too", I said remembering Rohan tends to also have a wild side and you just never know.

Five hours, four bathroom breaks, three pit stops for snacks later and we'd arrived at the Royal Crimson pack. Delegate, Alpha and Beta's from other packs were also filling in at the castle. The large built in break building looked like it had just dropped out of a fairy-tale from how magical it looked under the illuminated glow of the quite sunset setting in the background.

"Right this way, Alpha Fazirya and Beta Aura", a cute friendly looking blonde said as she approached us. We got our bags and followed close behind her.

''I'm Orobeau it means golden beauty Oro in Spanish Beau in French everybody always asks but you can call me whatever not whatever as in whatever..." she continue to blabber. "You're blowing this Oro", she scolded herself and abruptly stopped.

"I'm sorry I tend to mumble", she apologised. "It's okay, it reminds me of someone I know", I said as little Mailyee B. crept into my mind. Suddenly her arms her around me in a hug as I awkwardly stood there. She pulled away realizing she was hugging a complete stranger.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that your scents just really good", Oro said. "Fuck I'm really sorry, Aiden usually says I act more like a seven year old than a seventeen year old and now I'm giving you details of my life you didn't ask for. Why can't I just shut up sometimes", she continued to mumble before I reached out and clasped y palm around her mouth.

I realised her once she was in control. "Right so these are your room", she pointed to the doors opposite each other. "I'm your guide for the trip so in case you need anything feel free to ask I'll just be in this room", she said and pointed to a room beside mine before she retreated to it.

Fazirya and I went into our rooms and unpacked. When I was done I went to Fazirya's room because something was bothering me. "I think it's just me but Oro's scent it's..." I said but couldn't place the right words to it.

"It's weird, it's like we've met before", Fazirya shrugged. "We should get some sleep there's a room full of alpha's we need to lie to tomorrow", she continued to say.

"About that, we didn't think this plan through", I said. "What are you talking about, we went through this, it's a good plan", Fazirya said. "I know it's just that I know quite a few Alpha what if one of them blows my cover", I spill my worries.

"Mind link them not to dummy", she said. "I'm not in good terms with the few", I reminded her.

"I actually thought about that last night but we had no time to give you a makeover", Fazirya admitted.

About two hours as Fazirya's personal baby doll, I now had fiery red hair and blue eyes. We also covered up my freckles and got me a fake mole. Looking in the mirror I didn't recognize my reflection staring back at me but she was hot.

After texting with Rohan, watching tiktoks and a movie, I still wasn't sleepy even when I tried pretending to be asleep in wolf form. I decided that I was hungry and throw on my robe and wondered around the castle trying to remember where the kitchen was, I didn't want to disturb Fazirya or Oro.

I was sure, the next corridor would lead to the kitchen but stopped when I heard voices from inside.

"I can't be yours Adrian I've already told you no", I could hear a distressed Oro say. "I'm only trying to help you Orobeau, you have no mate that's why your wolf looks like that, why won't you just listen to me", a male voice boomed with power and that's when I realized.

Adrian as in Alpha King Adrian, shit. I thought he had a mate.

As karma would have it, as I was adjusting myself for better snooping privileges I knocked over a vase. Luckily it didn't break but I could tell the King and Oro heard it. I put the vase back in its place and dashed back to my room.
