Chapter 12 - Lord's Palace

his eyes at the door where his beta Lurac is standing with his head bowed down.

"Yes, Lurac?" Alexander quizzed.

"Alpha King Emerson wants your presence in his Chamber" Lurac put calmly.

"In a minute" Alexander said and Lurac left Alexander's Chamber nodding.

As Alexander marched through the hall way towards his father's chambers he felt his heart at unrest.

Alpha Alexander, the 27 year old is next in line to be Crowned as the Royal King for the Werewolf Kingdom. Once he gets coronated he will be handling the affairs of 9.7 billion werewolves with hundreds of ethnicities under his scrutiny. Their wellness and prosperity falls under the primary responsibility of Alexander, who won't be the only Royal King of Werewolves but also the loyal servant of the throne.

Guards securing King Emerson's Chambers announced Alexander's arrival to Emerson. Receiving a positive nod, they opened doors for Alexander.

"Long Live My Lord" Alexander bowed.

"How many times do I have to refrain you from calling me My Lord when we are in private. The labels are just for the Royal Court, I am always your Father" Emerson patted Alexander warmly.

"Any particular reason you wanted me at this hour?" Alexander quizzed skeptical. It's past his father's regular sleeping time.

"Will you please read that?" Emerson pointed at the red shiny box. Opening the box Alexander found a scroll invitation, unfolding the invitation Alexander's eyes fixated on the beautiful calligraphy printed in Golden colour.

"King Gabriel Ⅲ and Queen Lucia cordially invites you for annual celebrations of our Kingdom, The Great Trenesia's formation. The Kingdom awaits your presence"

Regards King Gabriel Ⅲ

"What is with this sudden invitation? I think it's in our previous century we had some sort of relation with humans, now all we face is wars and threats then how come we received an invitation for the annual celebrations of their Kingdom's formation? That's a prestigious event for them, what makes them invite the Werewolves they despise?" Alexander quizzed her father.

"Reasons are unknown, I would love to see you attending the celebration. King Gabriel is one of the most powerful emperor's guarding humans and good friendship with him might help things work in our favour. Maybe a good bond between you both will help in mending the strained relations between humans and Werewolves" Emerson spoke, his words very clear and authoritative voice gave in that he wanted this to happen at any cost.

"As you say Father" Alexander accepted.

"Get our troops ready, be well prepared for anything" Emerson asserted.

Nodding his head Alexander made a mental note about the wolves he will be tagging along.

"Why am I feeling so restless? What is messing me up?" Alexander can't help but question his restless mind giving him all negative thoughts.

Walking towards the Practice area reserved for Beta's and other Wolves, Alexander went behind a tree. Shedding his clothes he shifted in his Wolf form, it was a painful experience to him at the start with time he got adjusted to that.

Alexander's personality when he is human form to when he gets into his real wolf form are poles apart. He is dominant, aggressive and maniac as a wolf. Once his huge golden wolf form walked to the centre, all other gazes lowered.

His silver eyes scrutinized as all the wolves assembled in the line, his rough paws crunching the ground beneath, he howled catching attention and turned to his most trusted Beta Alith.

Alexander howled at Alith and he got what he master wanted in minutes.

Alith sprang into the business and quickly picked the best in their wolves to accompany Alexander to the human territory. Growling loudly Alexander instructed the thirty warriors his beta picked. Diving them into five troops, he assigned them basic roles.

Once done with the instruction all the wolves yelped a howl of respect, turning his paws Alexander made his way to chambers. He wanted to run, he wanted to go out into the forest. His Alpha feels discomfort being in the human skin, it suffocates him.

"Son, can I come in" hearing his mother knock his door Alexander came back to his human farm, putting on his clothes Alexander opened the door.

"All okay Mother? What brought you here at the late hours? Anything troubling you?" worry evident in Alexander's voice.

"Everything is alright with me my dear son, but I think that's not the case with you" peering her eyes, Queen and Luna Elith rubbed Alexander's arms.

"What is the matter Alex?" Queen Luna quizzed as Alexander looked away.

"I am perfectly alright mother, we are leaving to the Kingdom of Trenesia in the early hours," Alexander informed his mother.

"Trenesia? To the human territory? Why does your father need to build the strained relations? What if they attack you?" Luna Elith worried.

"How about you escorting with me? Who's better than the ferocious Luna Queen in war?"Alexander pit playfully.

Elith chuckled hearing his son but both of them know how capable Elith way and that's the reason Moon Goddess picked her as Alpha Emerson's mate.

"Mother, I am serious I want a ferocious and brave Queen to protect and tame me" Alexander put.

"Find your own Mate then" Elith quickly put.

"MATE" the word did something to Alexander's wolf. His wolf's overflowing emotions tempted Alexander to find his Mate soon.

"I will leave before you wake up. Take care of yourself and Father" Alexander bid goodbye.

"Stay safe, Moon Goddess will bless you" Elith kissed Alexander's forehead before leaving his Chamber.

Alexander was unable to close his eyes even for a minute and at the early hours he walked to his father's chambers.

"I will take your leave father, stay safe" Alexander said to his father with respect.

"Give my regards to King Gabriel," Emerson said patting Alexander.

With five troops, led with horses, elephants carrying gifts and camels bearing their belongings along with required ammunition in case of any emergency attack, and food required for four days travel the troop along with Alexander made their way to the extreme end of the world.
