Chapter 62 Palace Left Behind
Chapter 62.
Rosa's POV.
Ding! Dong!!
I pressed the electric bell. There was no reply.
Home sweet home … I looked everywhere, it was so brand new in my eyes… The feelings are so surreal.
I always pay a visit here once in a while… The aura is serene. Everything seems evergreen.
It's been close to five months since I have visited this place. It seems as if it was five years in my body.
I drew in a deep breath.
Then my fore-finger on the bell again.
Ding Dong.
I giggled, blushing … couldn't wait to give him that surprise…
I had run out of that hell hole called palace. Thanks to Alpha Vexhood who sent someone to hint me up.
It wasn't a scene I wanted to leave just like that, I still wanted to play eye service. To be acting as if I belong there. Until I received the immediate command from alpha Vexhood to leave the palace and if possible to leave the stormfang pack completely.
That lyra…. That stubborn lyra didn't want to leave with me. Always behaving like she could save the world, but, wait , how much world can she save when she had not finished saving the stormfang pack?
I laughed inwardly.
Stormfang that is about to be buried and forever forgotten in history…
I hissed in disgust.
I pressed the bell again…
Ding… Dong Ding… Dong…
The bell sounded and I waited reluctantly.
My mind shifts back to the stunt that lyra pulled on me. The sudden electric shock that quickly found its way into my blood stream, dead ….
What the fuck is that? That sudden shock. Sometimes I wonder what kind of wolf lyra is.
Umpteenth time she had been showing she is not of this world
Finally the door opened. Then a young Omega whom I have not seen before?
He backed me carrying a bouquet of flowers, and he didn't bother to look at the entity in front of him.
“You forgot something , my Luna?”
I didn't respond, I knew the question wasn't from me.
Then he finally turned.
He looked at me from head to toe… Like I am a strange object…
The door partially opened, his head tucked outside, while his other body remained behind the door.
“From where please?”
The message hit me like a spare aimed at my chest. I got furious at first with the question. You mean here? This house?
This is my fucking house. Sorry, I mean Ryder's house.
I wanted to forcefully barge into the house. But I restrained myself.
But I tried to stomach it.
I put up a weak smile, “ Oh, sorry, I know you have not seen… me here before but…”
“Can I see your tag?”
“Tag? I am Rosa, your boss’ fated mate…”
“I need your tag? You’ve got to show me your tag? That is the only way you can get in here…”
I could not bear the embarrassment anymore. Then I let it out.
“You must be sick in the head, go in there and ask your boss who the hell is Rosa?”
He paused a bit and looked at me like I was nobody. The idiot moved his face closer. His mouth reeked out alcohol. I thought any part of his face would touch me.
“I am sorry, I will not be able to do that because I am clearly working based on the instructions given to me. Which clearly states, no tag no access.”
“You must be stupid for telling me that? Who the hell are you,” I clapped back with anger.
He was about to shut the door against me, when I heard Ryder’s voice erupting through his apartment. He stood at the balcony.
Ryder saw me and was shocked. He was shirtless, with only a towel tied around his waste. He walked to the door.
He turned to the young omega, looking at the mess he had created, “ any order I gave you in this world about anyone, those orders do not include this lady, you understand.”
The young maid bowed down and coughed out from his mouth, "I am sorry, Luna…”
Before he could finish a dirty slap landed on his face, “take back your sorry I don't need you!”
It's like you don't use your brain to do your work anymore, I am Rosa, the luna queen of stormfang pack. I know you will put yourself into a lot of trouble when Ryder confirm my identity,”
I scoffed in anger. I turned to Ryder, who was still shocked about my sudden appearance in his house, “Where did you get this fool from?”
Someone had to take care of this place any time I am not here” Ryder replied,
The young but rude wolf knelt , and started begging, "I am sorry your highness, “ I didn't think that you were this important… “
I left their presence matching into the house.
Ryder is arguably the richest young wolf in stormfang far richer than Alpha jax himself, pack. He had houses, scattered within and outside the stormfang pack.
I knew the only place I could get a succour was here until I saw the results of alpha Vexhood on stormfang pack. I couldn't visit my mother in the Crimson pack. That would be too far and I don't have to be too far from the Crescent pack so as not to be labelled a renegade to the throne especially in terms of crises like this.
This one of the many properties Ryder has, its position in the neighboring pack of stormfang packs called Alpha Dominion Pack. Every rich and successful wolf always wishes to have something here. This place is a haven for the rich. Alpha Jax too had some here too. But he preferred to get accustomed to the stormfang pack.
I walked into his very large living room that looked like a pup's playing field, his footsteps echoed behind me.
“You never told me you were coming, Rosa.
I turned and a very big slap landed on Ryder's face.
Bang! Another Bang! This time on the other cheek.
Is this the type of nuisance you constitute here while I am risking my life in that cursed pack?” I roared.
He looked with astonishment, his hand glued to his face. His face turned beet red.
I quickly glanced around the house, checking for obvious signs to nail him more.
So you have turned this place into a brothel, where you fornicate your life away.
“And you said you want to be the alpha king of the stormfang pack?” I let out with a low mockery tone.
I shook my head, “ I have never for once doubted it, your father had been right all along, alpha Vexhood really was … that you don't have the balls to run that pack. That you are too immature and insensitive? That you're too fragile and friable and can easily break into pieces like pieces of dry clay. Can you withstand the pressure and the heat a place like a stormfang pack brings along?, where the sun or what looks like the sun never blinked its eyes to go down, where the water there is blood. Wolves still rolled like nothing existed.”
Those words were like dagger, they hit where he didn't expect.
“That's enough! Rosa.” Ryder warned.
“You can't tell me that enough Ryder,” I clapped back, "will you tell a bereaved mother wolf how not to mourn her pup?”
“I can bet you can't stay in that pack for just five hours and you won't melt like butter, was that not the reason you stayed out of the business in that pack? Because you couldn't withstand the heat.”
“Enough! Rosa let me explain, he drifted towards me. I moved back like his body had been infected with leprosy.
Ryder stepped closer and reached for my hand. I yanked it away.
His towel slipped away from his waist and dropped to the floor.
My mind suddenly went blank.
