Chapitre 10: Chapter 10: Proclaimed

"Alpha, we need you here!" Kaydon called me.

I put the bell in my pocket and ran back to them.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The remaining rogues ran off, but most of them exploded," he answered.

"What?"

Hhmm...

I thought intently.

"Help the injured, Kydon. I need to figure something out," I said.

"Yes, alpha."

After ensuring that all the injured warriors are treated and brought back to the packhouse. I was left here alone. There was nothing left here but the ragged and severed bodies of the rogues.

I sensed that the bell had something to do with this as I walked.

Are the elders so desperate to pull me down? I won't give them the satisfaction they want. I will defend my pack no matter what.

My eyes caught the head of a rogue who shifted back to his human form. The head was severed from its body; his eyes were wide open and staring at me. I approached it and squatted at the side of the head.

The head belongs to a boy. I can tell that he's still in his teens. His eyes were filled with fear as if he saw something so terrifying right before he died.

I sighed before picking the head. I knew that these rogues were innocent. The idea of them being used still lingers in my head. I suspect that the elders or the king, but I need proof. Rogues have their own lives, too, and they don't deserve to be killed and used.

I put the head under the pit. I dug under the tree and covered it. Vultures will come and feast on the guts of those who died.

I punched the trunk of the tree. It's not that I'm mad but because of my situation.

"Alpha!"

I groaned when I heard Kaydon's voice outside my door. He has been knocking at my door outside, which pissed me off. This is the only time I have a good sleep after four nights, but here he is! He must have a death wish!

"What is it?" he probably heard a hint of annoyance in my tone.

"The king and the elders are here and wish to talk to you," he informed.

I scratched the tip of my nose.

"Who?"

"The king and the elders are outside waiting for you," he repeated.

"What the fuck are they doing here?" I shouted.

"I don't have any idea, alpha, but please come out and face them," he said politely.

"Alright! Alright!" I said lazily, not moving an inch on my bed.

"Alright, I'll tell them to wait for you," he said before leaving.

Heh! Wait for me, morons!

After a few minutes, I snuggled back to my pillows and closed my eyes. I was about to go into a deep slumber when the door flew out of the opened floor-to-ceiling window. I dodged it before it could hit me.

"Damn it!!" I cussed.

"You better dress up and meet me before I decide to fuck you here," a baritone and arrogant voice sounded inside my room. I saw a man leaning against the doorframe and staring at me, grinning while crossing his arms to his chest.

His onyx-colored eyes were staring at me like I was some meat prepared for him to be devoured. His aura was powerful and full of authority, telling me he was the king. I can't deny how gorgeous this man is in front of me, but I hate being disrespected.

I growled at him as a warning.

"Easy, alpha! Get dressed, and we'll talk properly in your study room," he said amusedly.

"You think you can just barge into my territory after what you've done to my pack?" I hissed while covering my body with a robe.

"Yes. No one can stop me from entering your humble home. I'll be waiting for you outside," he said before turning on his back and walking away.

"Alpha, the king, was so persistent in talking to you," Kaydon said apologetically. "I tried to stop him but-"

"It's fine. I'll wash up and change my clothes before facing him. Make sure to fix my door," I said before entering the bathroom. I removed my clothes in annoyance and stood under the shower.

The nerve of that king! I want to kick his ass out of my territory, but I still have my respect for him as the king, so I restrain myself.

Wearing my skinny black jeans topped with long sleeve checkered polo folded up until the elbow, I descended to the pack's house living room, where the elders and the king were seated while waiting for me. He sat there crossed legs like he was the owner of this packhouse.

I cleared my throat to get their attention.

"What are you doing here in my territory?" I asked them while going down the stairs.

The elders sat up straight except for the king, who grinned as he stared at me as if undressing me.

"Pervert!" Claw hummed.

"What the heck is wrong with you?" I hissed at her.

"What?" she uttered nonchalantly.

"What do you mean what? You just hummed while that foolish king was checking us out!" I said in a displeased tone.

To my annoyance, she just hummed again before hiding in the corner of my head.

"This flirty wolf!!" my mind resentfully screamed.

Without respect, I sat rudely on the single sofa in front of them. After what they have done to my pack and me, they expect me to bow and kneel to them? That's a big no!

"We're not going to beat around the bush, Alpha Raven. We and the king and his council came here to let you know that we are officially declaring that you will be the first female alpha in our kingdom," Onix said before standing with the council members. The king was only staring incessantly at me.

"What made you change your mind to legalize me being an Alpha? Was it fun to see me struggling to protect my pack as you attacked us non-stop for the past four days? Do you think I can still give you my respect when you trampled me as a female alpha?" I calmly said.

"We did all of that to test you," the king said casually. "And you passed the test. You did what a real alpha should do. You proved to me that you are fitted to become the Alpha of this huge pack. Congratulations! You passed!" he uttered while grinning.
