Rue peered at the ceiling blankly. Her baby brother was lying next to her, still crying loudly.
She gently patted his small body. "Where did it all go wrong.... Dylan... do you know, I was at fault? I was the reason your mate is dead...."
The baby sniffled, peering up at her.
"Will you blame me.... you should blame me.... he was such a sweet guy. Even my heart was starting to sway for him,"
The door banged open and a wolf ran in. "Miss Rue.... your father..."
"What is it?" she blankly peered at him.
"I'm afraid it's bad...."
Her heart sank to the bottom. Carrying Dylan she ran out of the room.
Right in the hallway she saw it.. her father hanging from the ceiling... his ruddy face was pale as a sheet of paper and his blue eyes were lifeless.
She could not breathe.
"Miss Rue... Alpha Rue...." everyone gazed at her with compassion.
But compassion is not what she wanted. She wanted...
What did she want..
Rue blinked.. "get him down and prepare the funeral.... call the pack elders. We will be starting my ascension ceremony,"
Soulless she walked back to her room. Dylan was wailing again...
"Alpha.. he needs milk," one of the female werewolves whispered, handing her a bottle.
"Yes... he needs milk," she fed him.
The baby whined but still drank the milk. Soon, in a few minutes, Dylan went to sleep.
Rue left him on her bed.
"I'll be out for a moment.. I need to clear my head..."
"We have lot more things to discuss." The elderly wolves were all waiting for her on the porch. "Alpha king is born, so it's time for us to take action. Out northern clans have started their move. Only the south is waiting for our order. Alpha gives us orders,"
Rue was in shock. "Tell them not to make any move,"
The elders just stood in her way there, expressionless. "We can't do that Alpha. It's time the vampires were pulled down from their high altar. We have to act now."
"Not now! We.. we are grieving. Give the pack some time.." she shouted pushing them out of the way.
Rue ran... she ran until her lungs were burning and her legs could not move.
Somehow her legs took her to the familiar place.
The place that was in ruins....
Holding her breath she walked close. The place had become frozen.
The water that had flooded from the river had become completely frozen.
The ice cracked as she walked on it. "They did not even bother to take their corpses out..... fresh blood still stains the ground yet they lust for more,"
She cracked the ice a bit with her fist. "Uncle you said you will save Nico... but why have you killed him? Was it an accident... or was it your plan all along? To let our werewolf kind suffer for eternity."
An Alpha king is not a presence to be trifled with. This one wolf can control millions and millions of wolves with just a growl.
But this great power also comes with a weakness.
Since the Wolf inside of them was so strong they loose their mental stability.
That's where the Luna king comes into the picture. The alphas kings' mate is the only person who can control him and comfort his powerful wolf.
Without the Luna king.... it was very dangerous.
If the Alpha king losses his shit and went berserk no one can stop him. With his single command he can easily kill millions...
"Is this what they meant by new world... fuck, I hate this... I hate war."
Small crunching sound of ice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Are you guys following meme now?"
"Alpha Rue, we need to act soon...."
"Shut up!"
Rue picked herself up and got in the car. The wolves drove her over to the packhouse.
Carrying Dylan in her hand, she entered the meeting room.
Everyone was definitely waiting... waiting for her to start a fucking war.
This was not what she expected would happen.
"Reports from the north,"
"We have managed to annihilate the three covens that were hiding in the shadows," her dad's beta switched on the tv.
The scenes she saw really really hurt her.
The werewolves were out in the daylight in the human society killing the vampires that were running away from them.
It was a fucking blood bath...
"The south has started the attack as well."
She glared back at him. "I never gave the orders!"
"Alpha, they have been repressed for so long. They didn't wait that long for orders."
"Then who gave them the Intel that the Alpha King was born huh?"
Every werewolf in the room refused to face her.
"I see this is how is going to be in the future huh. I'm your Alpha now! You need to listen to me!"
They still refused to look up at her.
It was because her wolf was not strong enough to oppress them.
One of the elders walked upfront. "Our king is a child. You are only filling up that position."
In that moment Rue knew... things were going downhill.
There was no saving or changing this situation.
Gritting her teeth, she walked over to her room.
Dylan started wailing once again....
She just patted her back silently sobbing. "Everything is going to be okay... I will raise you. I will raise you to be a just king. I will never let you grow up like those power-hungry wolves Dylan. You have to be a loving king.."
The baby opened his tear-filled blue eyes peering at her.
"Yes.. when your wolf is out of control I will be there. I will be your tether. This is all I can do to replay you for the sins I've committed…. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..."
