Chapter Eighteen
Chapter 18
As Philip ran towards the building, which was not too far away from the castle, his wolf, tearing through the thorns which blocked his way, he knew the words of the queen, the former Luna words was not just a vain words, he knew what the first pure blooded werewolf could do, as he reached towards the castle, the gate to the castle opened, the guards, already knowing who the wolf was, the door opened quickly, a guard came, quickly running towards him, where Philip stood, in his wolf form, immediately he changed to his human form, stark naked, a maid quickly came, facing her head down, as she handed him a cloth, he didn't wait one more second, as he wore the clothes on, he quickly ran to the meeting hall with a massive speed, never waiting to breath.
"Thank you for fucking my life queen."
He whispered as he opened the door, barging in, he looked around, searching for the queen, but as he turned towards the window side, he saw her, standing in the window, he bowed his head immediately,
"You were six seconds early."
The queen said, turning towards him,
"I Am sorry my queen for that, was quite busy, setting things in order, the alpha and the beta are not yet back, from battle, I came back with the maids and other guards."
He said, watching the queen, queen Anastasia, turned around with a sharp glare, This made him back off, with fear.
"Well, gamma, your king lay sick and bed ridden in his chambers, he got attacked by vampires, and maybe witches, which I don't know of, the witches have crossed their boundaries this time around, they hurt my King and I won't allow them go easily with it, but first, we need to find a cure for the King's ailment, he had been cursed with a powerful dark magic, owned by the first dark witches, but all witches are against us, not siding with us, but the vampires."
The queen said, looking at the gamma, but gamma still looked confused, the queen seemed quite rushy in her statement, but all he could grasp was that his alpha had been sick, bed ridden with a dark magic.
"But then, what sets my mind into a fits of confusion was how the king had returned without anyone knowing about any thing, the slave must not have dragged him down towards the castle, all by herself, considering the state I founded her in."
The queen said, looking quite confused.,
"Do you have any idea how he came back alone, directly to his room, with the girl, without anyone finding out?"
Queen Anastasia asked.
"No. I have no idea, the goddess must have protected him, like she always does."
Philip lied, he knew how the alpha, his king, was able to be in the room, without getting noticed, only he and the beta knew about this particular secret weapon of the alpha. But the queen, Anastasia, watched the gamma, as he looked at her, trying to find any traits of lie, but she could not.
"Go meet the alpha, and inform the beta about the King's condition, the pack doctor had informed me that his health could worsen from now to two or three days, if no cure was found, remember, he have a meeting in three days time."
The queen said, and Philip bowed down, at which she left the room, already tired, for the night was so long ahead of her, she will have to pray to the moon goddess, to help her, find a good witch, who could heal the king.
Philip rushed to the alpha's chamber, three guards were placed to guard the front corridors, leading to the King's chamber, as he opened the door to the entrance of the chamber, he saw four more guards, protecting the kings door, the guard opened the door, as he saw the gamma, approaching the door, the guard bowed his head in respect.
Philip entered the room, quite confused, how a witch portion could work on the alpha, but the queen had informed him it was a terrible strong poison, and he wondered how long it would take to find the cure, no witches will side with the werewolves, the werewolves were the reasons why the witches were extinct, even though they disguised themselves as humans, in order to leave among the human lands.
Just as he went close to the king, who lay, straight on the bed, his face, exhibiting a tight scowl, Phillip smiled, even in sickness, the king still looks scary, just as he stood up, he heard a voice banged on his head, with a force that he winced loudly, holding his two hands on his head, as he fell on the wall,
(Is my mate back, safely, without no cut or harm?)
The beta voiced in his head through the mind link, his voice sounded metallic, in the ears of Philip, as if two irons were hitting against the other.
(Beta Alexander, you almost killed me, my mentality do not absorb more sound than you do.)
Philip said, now regaining his senses,
(That was not what I asked you Philip, now answer my question, before I rip your soul out from your body with my voice!)
Alexander said, but this time, his voice more lower than the first time,
(Yes, she is fine I think so, but sending her alone to your chambers, when you have a beast as a pet, I think, I do be the one to ask you that question later, so save your self to answer that later.)
Philip said, wondering if the girl have not already been ripped by the beast by now.
(My pet, will know her, when he see her, he will perceive her and he will know she is my mate, is there a problem in the castle, your voice sounds strained, even as you speak, I can hear it, is the king yet back?)
Alexander asked, he was running with the other warriors, in their wolf form, through the borders that connects the Ithaki and the dark moon pack.
(No, the castle is not in a good shape, the king was attacked by vampires and a poison made by a first pure blooded witch was given to him, he won't survive it, unless, a cure will be found for him, a dark portion made by a powerful witch, can be healed by another powerful witch or the same witch that caused it.)
Philip said, just then, the door opened, revealing the devil, the King's whore, Cara, daughter to the alpha of the Hood pack,
(The devil arrives, I will have to block you now, I have to take care of her.)
Philip said, about to cut off,
(What about the King's slave, is she good?)
Alexander said, he knew the slave was his Luna, he can't call her slave, unless, he do refer his own mate as a slave.
(I don't know her whereabout, I was not informed where she was kept.)
Philip said, looking at the chambers door, which just got closed, as Cara strode towards him.
(Will be back in ten minutes)
Alexander said, blocking the link.
Philip watched her, as she walked towards him, her face, filled with too much make up which was not supposed to be kept on the face, at this particular time of the night.
She looked cheerful, as if she was going for a merriment, than to see a sick king.
"Gamma Philip, I heard of the state of how my King had been, since he returned from his travel, my father had insisted me to arrive as early in the morning, but I know I can not sleep well, if the king is not quite strong, Mara gave me a touching warning, to keep it secret, and I know with my whole life to keep it as a secret, even from my own father."
Cara said, now walking passed him as she walked towards the bed, settling herself on the bed as she touched the outlines of the King's face. Philip smiled, he knew that the King's sister Mara, would never give her a touching advise, but a very heart wrenching warning.
"Remember not to tell your father, nor any of your friends, do not gossip about the King's condition to anyone, I believe again, that Mara, must have given you a proper warning, as you have earlier said."
Philip said, smirking so audible, and he heard a growl emits from Cara's throat, he bowed his head in respect, her growl could not threaten him, but she have an alpha blood in her, so he had to respect her.
"Like I told you, I won't let any words pass out from my lips, about the King's condition, there are a lot of enemies, who wants my King dead, so I won't let any harm come close to him."
Cara said, and Philip watched as she caressed the King's face.
"How long would his ailment last?"
Cara asked, watching the rise and fall of his breath, which signified that he was still alive.
"I don't have an idea, maybe the king won't be able to get well from the ailment."
Philip said, and he watched as her eyes widened in shock, he knew he shouldn't have said these words about the king, but he couldn't stop causing fear in the heart of the whore, and he wanted to get rid of her, as quickly as possible out from the King's chamber.
"Do you mean it?"
She asked, turning tp stare at Philip, she knew the gamma hated her, but he could not possibly wish for the King's death, as she saw the seriousness on his face, she realized he was not lying.
"I think you have to take a night sleep, I will call the maids to take care of you."
Philip said, as he smiled, watching the spoilt daughter of the alpha of the Hood pack.
