My pack felt different things. Some were angry, sad, confused, and even vengeful. So I needed to give them all one feeling. Grief. They needed not to think about my involvement in what they see as the tragic death of there beloved king, but instead as a time to mourn. And I'd be in the shadows so they didn't have to watch me pretend to care. It'd only upset the bitches in the pack.

"Stop!" I shouted. The crowd spoke and hushed tones a slowly the scattering ended. "I shall be your King because I am the Alpha. However, however, I will not kill Quincy, here I will hold him prisoner." I wagered although it wasn't up for negotiation. 

"For how long?" A women shouted. I looked through the crowd to find the person who'd asked. She spoke up but remained hidden. Weak.

"There is no official holding time and there will be a trail for his treason against his father." The crowd debated my plan of action with murmurs.

This is not up for discussion. I make decisions so they won't have to. As leader I will bare the tough choices so they don't have to. This is only one of them.

I'm their new king and these people must respect that. Actually I didn't care how they feel about it as long as they respect me and obeyed my title.

I sent a glance to the guards and they nodded. Quincy was dragged off the podium. My heart thumped. It feels good to take something from him, to watch everything he's entitled to fall apart.

Tears slipped from his eyes but he didn't make a sound. He's similar to me in that way. He doesn't know how to mourn loss or think that it's okay to cry. And he's right, it isn't. That's why in his mourning process never ends, he stays at denial the longest.

I shake my head. I truly am embarrassed for him in that moment. I share my empathy with him but nothing more.

"Keelyn! He's your mate and a friend. You need him. Or you'll become...ruthless." Tadashi tried to reason with me.

I smirked, "I already am ruthless." I said back as I watched Quincy be dragged away by his own people.

The people need a real leader, Im helping them. If I'm ruthless my people will never have to be. That's how it works.

Guards herdled around Quincy and he didn't even put up a fight. Or maybe he does. It's the look in his eyes. The look I've tried to avoid, the one I see when I look in the mirror. Pain. Revenge. Love.

"Pff he's a weak man." I thought to myself. He didn't bother fighting for his people but that look in his eyes. He's fighting me. Not for me, me.

I glared at Quincy hoping to rip a whole in his back. "Oh and guards," I called out cheerfully while still glaring into his eyes. "Put him in 'the last cell' in the dungeon." I added.

The last cell is maximum penalty you get pit in the center of all the worst people. If you do come out you won't be the same person.

I've heard tales how most people die. Every weak man dies. If your a strong man then something dies inside of you, it always does. He's not a true Alpha, unless he can't survive.

Its maximum security. There are no beds or covers, just a stone floor. We tell our guards to be tough on them so they tend to be abusive. There are right floors in the spiral shaped prison. There lower level gets the scraps for the previous seven levels. Only there usually aren't any so the prisoners fight for food. Most of the guards are too stubborn to go form there so when the gates open they have free will.

As there new Alpha I would want to take there will away but why, wouldn't that be too merciful to Quincy?

The guard nodded, he must've never liked Quincy by the deserving glint in his eyes. Or the way he handled with them care. They probably used to share toys or something and Quincy stole one of his first edition spider man figurines.

Typical Thyroids.

I took my seat in the big kings chair looking with pity at the small one for queens beside me. Power has always been at my fingertips. I wasn't born into it like Quincy Thyroid so only then had I decided to take it.

I sat there like the chair was made for me alone. It feels like hadn't just belonged to my mate seconds ago. My mom had always warned me this is a mans world so if your gonna live in it be a better man. And I am.

Now that the royal bloodline heir to the thrown ended I should not have been known as a queen but as a king, a leader.

I shall lead,

"Keeyln you had power at the end of one finger and your destiny at the other. You chose wrong. Do you really think this is what you were meant for?" Tadashi asked.

"Yes." I replied simply.

"Think about your parents, why you left, your future with Quincy. Doesn't It all mean something to you?" He asked. The questions acutally made me stiffen which only made made me.

"Quincy and I have no future!"

"You have no idea-" I cut Tadashi off once more.

"And as for parents and my secrets, well you musn't ever speak it it again. Unlike most Alphas I'm your stronger half."

I understood what was happening.

And I am King now.

What do you think about Keeyln Greene?

Powerful?

Daredevil?

Plain out bitch?

I'm not sure?

Emotion issues?

I think most of you will agree she's a bitch and I cant promise she'll get better. This is all original and you wont see the same things happen like in the other books,

,Unless by coincidence

Note: It will contribute a lot of song lyrics and in the last chapter of the book I will list all the songs and give the singers credit.

This is kinda like a second chance mate story...wait no it's not at all. She doesn't get a second chance mate.

But if you like that Idea comment here.

Xoxo, Reese
