Alpha's Revenge
Ally’s POV (2 Years Ago)
We got up and went out for breakfast, but came back to chaos in our room. Reigna is missing and we don’t know who took her. Fredrick said we can’t stay there any longer and we took all of our things and Reigna’s and left. We didn’t even bother to properly check-out. He looked online in the room and found a place to rent a car from and we went straight there. Thankfully he was able to reserve one online so we didn’t have to do a ton of waiting when we got there. All he had to do was prove he was the one that made the reservation and within minutes we were out of there and on our way to the Royal pack. I was very nervous about having to talk to the Lycan King because he is known for being ruthless and very impatient. Fredrick told me that even if I’m nervous, he’ll be able to tell if I’m speaking the truth. I’m glad he told me that because if being nervous and scared are indicators of lying he’d kill me on site.
“The Lycan King is going to talk to us, right?” I ask him. “I mean we didn’t call ahead or anything to request an audience with him.”
“His reputation is that of a ruthless and temperamental nature, but he is fair and just as well. He will hear what we have to say. He’s been known to take requests in person if he isn’t busy or is intrigued by the request or those requesting. Quit worrying so much. If he doesn’t see us today then we can find a room and email or call and make a formal request, but either way, he will see us at some point. We are going to get Reigna and the pack back.”
I don’t know why but I believe him and I feel surprisingly safe with him. If I was lucky enough to get a mate, I hope that he is at least as caring as Fredrick. He doesn’t really know me and yet he is doing everything he can to keep me safe and calm. “Oh, snap out of it Ally. He’s doing his job as a Gamma and that’s all. He’s supposed to keep you safe and calm in this kind of situation. What is he supposed to do, let you die or get all worked up and then he has to spend his time dealing with you instead of the situation at hand?” Shaking my head to clear it of those thoughts, I take a few deep breaths and calm myself down while looking out of the window. I’ve never been outside of the pack before so I try to take in everything that I’m seeing. The tall buildings and stores and the people walking around in the cities that we pass. Eventually we leave all of the cities behind and there is just an expanse of open road with nothing but trees or farm life on either side of the road.
At some point I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I know, I am being shaken awake by Fredrick. He tells me that he decided to get us a room first just in case the King doesn’t see us today. Climbing out of the car, I stretch my arms and legs before grabbing my bag and following him into the hotel. I’m a bit paranoid about staying at another hotel after what happened at the last one, but I tell myself that nobody is after me or Fredrick, so we should be safe.
After checking in, we grab some lunch from the restaurant attached to the hotel and then head back to the room to freshen up before we head out again to the castle. It took us about thirty minutes to actually get to the gate and the guards let us in after contacting someone inside telling them of our presence. Honestly, I thought they would turn us away since we hadn’t called ahead or anything. The wrought iron gates opened and we started driving down this long drive-way that turned out to be a circular drive but we stopped right in front of the palace steps, and there were a lot of them. At least forty steps all the way up, but there were about ten before a landing that held four guards and then the other thirty or so before the palace doors that held about eight guards. Noticing all the guards started to make my heart race again. I just know there are even more inside and what if they let us in just to lock us up for coming without an invitation.
