Pack Adonis

Chapter 28

No ones pov

"Lord Huntings, your majesty", a guard bowed for the man.

His majesty, the King, was annoyed. He was enjoying a meal with his lovely wife, the Queen, and he insisted not to be disturbed.

"I told you to to not disturb me", the King replied sighing.

"He claims its of highest emergency", the guard insisted.

"Let him in, please", the Queen smiled softly at the scared guard.

He bolted out and the King watched her, she gave him a stern look.

"You come over scary, the poor guy is only doing his job", she grabbed his hand.

"His job was to let nothing disturb-", they walked in.

"Your majesty", lord Huntings bowed deeply.

"Peter, it's nice to see you again", the Queen smiled,

Peter kissed her hand, earning a growl of the King. He ignored it and sat down.

"Cousin dearest, I have big news", he told his cousin, the queen.

"What is it?",

The King sighed annoyed and leaned backwards. Tonight was supposed to be a romantic evening, they were so busy the last  time and again they were interrupted.

"Caroline, my wife, was at the nail shop and Àlpha Ryder was the big topic",

"When isn't he?", the King asked.

Àlpha Ryder was one of the strongest and most powerful Àlphas, apparently handsome too, since all the women fantasizes about him.

"It seems like he has two mates",

The Queen turned pale, she knew that two mates were never good news. She experienced it herself.

"One of his mates was kidnapped by Àlpha Felix of the bitten pack-",

"Did he got himself in trouble?", the King jumped forward.

"He got himself killed", Peter told him.

"But we were going to make him a legitimate pack", The king argued frustrated.

"He marked the mate and Àlpha Ryder lost if, he tore him to pieces in human form",

The Queen winced and shook her head in disgust.

"The girl? Did she survive?", she asked worriedly.

"Yes, Rhyme saved her, she cut the mark out and to kill the venom Ryder marked her", Peter explained.

"Rhyme?",

"Yes and here it gets interesting. Because she saved the girl, the moon goddess cured her, apparently she has taken great interest in the girl, Ambrosia",

"What's so special about her?", the king asked.

"She's a victim, rumors were spread she's a half blood because can't shift",

"If she was a half blood she would've died of the impact of Ryder's bite", the Queen shook her head.

"Why do we need to know this?", the King asked, sipping from his wine.

"She reportedly has long white blond hair and golden eyes",

The King laid down his glass and stared in front of him into nothing. The description came close to his lost daughter. He could hear his wife demanding more information, but he zoned out.

"Perseus", she shook him and he eyes her.

"Ryder is giving a party on the full moon in a week, we can go and look for ourselves", she suggested hopeful.

"And end up like last time?"

He had chased a girl through an entire pack, believing it was his daughter. It wasn't and he felt fooled, he has been looking for 18 years already.

"We mustn't loose hope and if it isn't her, I want to so Rhyme again", the Queen encouraged.

"I'll fix it", he stood up.

"Keep her company, Peter, I'm going to take a fresh breath",

King Perseus was watching his kingdom from his balcony, the chilly air hitting him. He didn't care, the sun closely waved away for the moon to come up. He didn't know how long he stood there, but he knew it was pretty long.

Mona is his daughter, his first child. He had two others, but nothing is as special as the first one. Having to learn every step of the way, messing things up. She was just a few days old when she was taken away from his safety. Guilt always made him choke, because he was so busy with his job he didn't held her so much. He though he would have a lifetime for that to come.

He was terribly wrong.

"Daddy?", he turned around to see him twelve year old daughter, Madison.

"Why are you still up, little one? It's already late", he pulled her to him.

"You didn't come in to tug me in and I thought you forgot me", she confessed.

"How could I forget you, sweetie?", he smiled.

She smiled and joined him, watching the large grounds. Her blue eyes taking everything in. King Perseus stroke her light brown hair, smiling in adoration. He made sure to hold her tightly.

"Are you thinking about Mona?", she asked still staring at the view.

"Are you?",

"I just wished I got to see her just once. It sucks to be younger than her", she sighed.

"Your mommy and I only had her for a few days",

"At least you got to hold her",

He sighed and caressed her soft hair. They stayed silent for a while.

"I've been having this dreams about our great great, a lot of greats, grandfather, Lunaris...", the king turned to his daughter.

"He was leaving some sort of message and River helped me to figure it out", she pulled a letter from her pocket and handed it to her dad.

"At the full moon you'll find what you've longed for", he read out.

"I've always longed for a big sister", Madison sighed dreamy.

In that moment, he was sure. He had to go to the Adonis Pack.
