"I don't think now is the time to be discussing about the death of the vampire king, they are the ones attacking us, we can save our story for later, right now what we should be doing is to be coming up with a plan for the upcoming war."

The king stared at me for a long time, after I finished talking and suddenly said.

" I need to speak with you privately."

I was taken aback by his request to speak with me in private.

" am sorry your majesty, but you can say whatever you want to say here, we should decide on this together, we have to come up with a solution befall the full moon, because that is when they are attacking us. Else, it will be too late.

I answered him.

" you dare defile my order, do you think I don't know what am doing, or do you think I don't care about my people what is wrong with you all, do you all take me for granted."

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

He stared at me coldly, I was about saying something when he interrupted me.

" I already have a solution to this matter, I  just want  to discuss it with you before it is brought here."

Everybody was shocked, when the king suddenly said that, including me, I was shocked to my bones. ' did he just say, he have a solution to this.'

The elders exchanged looks of douth, even she was surprised by his response, she didn't expect him to suddenly say that, is he being serious right now cause she is beginning to douth his sanity, what on earth is he thinking of doing right now, she decided to follow him to talk privately as he said before he spouts out more unexplainable things from his mouth.

" your majesty, we can go now, please".

" good, I thought you were too busy to go out, is good that you reconsidered".

He replied sarcastically, and turned to the elder.

" the meeting is over, I will let you know what my decision is after the chat with the witch."

My face darkened after I heard what he said, he knows I hate being called a witch, but he always does that just to see my annoyed expression. I glared at him angrily, and he smirks enjoying or should I say happy at my annoyed expression.

" yes your majesty, we shall depart and wait for your decision, we are in no rush".

The elders responded reluctantly, they wanted to be part of the discussion so badly but they have no choice but to leave, when they were still contemplating whether to keep pursading his majesty to let them stay, a royal guard suddenly bartender in.

" hail to the great king."

The royal guard called max saluted and informed the king.

" Your majesty, Princess Brianna request an audience".

"Not now, am in no mood to respond to her, Tell her to leave, I will come to her chamber to see her later after am done here, we are in the center of a very important discussion regarding the welfare of this kingdom and wouldn't do any good if she just barged in like that."

...the elders were dumfounded, the king has never outrightly reject granting his younger sister an audience no matter the kind of heated discussion they were discussing, he always leaves whatever his is doing whenever his sister is looking for him. They couldn't help but wonder what came over the king, they were so sure it is not about the news the priestess brought this morning because they have had worst cases, so what's happening, not only that the king has been acting strange since the beginning of the meeting, the way he talks suddenly changed overnight, they didn't know what made him this way, now they thought about it, it should be last night when he went outside the kingdom together with the high priestess, at the thought of it, they all turned towards the high priestess for explanation for his majesty sudden change of attitude since she was the last person that was with him.

She rolled her eye inwardly, she wasn't affected by their curious gaze, she ignored them and stared straight into his eyes, she knew what made him like this, but she is not gonna spill it now, not until they discussed it properly, she wondered why he can't just accept it, is she that irritating. At the thought of it, she signed inwardly.' I really need to get this out of my Head'. She was still lost in thought, when the king authoritative, yet charming voice broke her out of her trance state.

"What are you still doing here, didn't you hear what I just said, or do you want me to say it in another way".

The alpha glared dangerously at the guard who was already trembling on the floor.

He stammered out of fear for what the alpha just said, nobody wants to be at the receiving end of his rage.

" What did you just say"

The alpha asked with  threat laced with his voice,

"Your majesty"

I saw that the guard was lost for words and I decided to intervene.

" Your majesty, I don't think we have the time for this, I suggest you calm down, please"

"Calm down? Okay. After calming down, what do you suggest I do, dear witch, since you are so intelligent".

He replied back at me, I stared at him furiously, unable to refute.

"Have it gotten to the point where you no longer take me serious again, am the f**king alpha, not you, whatever I say stands."

After venting out at me, he turned to the max (the guard) who was already trembling on the floor under his furious gaze.

"Leave now before I separate your neck from your body".

After speaking, the royal guard left hurriedly, thanking the moon goddess for saving him from the angry wolf king, before he remembered something, then he turned back and kept on the floor. She understood him, he was the princess personal guard so the princess must have threatened him not to come back without the king accepting to see her, but what she couldn't understand is why the alpha was this angry, his words just now shocked both her and the elders, what came over him, her thoughts lingered on what transpired between them last night last night and she frowned, she decided not to think about it before she succumbs to the sadness that is about covering her, she thought of it and said,
