"Troy King Summers! Get your booty over here, what is it that you did to Athena!?" I yell as I glare at Troy.
"I said I was sorry ma! I didn't mean to hit her! I was chasing Kyoto and then she was in the way and I accidentally hit her! But I apologized to her" Troy protests as he watches me. "Okay, well go play. Athena. Do you wanna play too?" I say, happy of my son apologizing. "Uh, yes ma'am," Athena says. "Good. Go play and call me Alexa" I remind her. She nods.
"Okay. Goodbye, ma'am. See you later"
I laugh and say bye. She is such a proper little lady. I go to my office and sit in my chair. I sigh and start on the paperwork. I notice one that says, King Lucas King. I laugh at that and open it. It'll never stop being funny.
*Letter*
Vampire King, Lucas King.
The Kingdom requests for your return. There have been many of your subjects who say the olden King and Queen are acting as if they had never passed on the throne. They talk nonsense about your beloved and children. I'm in fear I may be killed. That's why I've done the most as possible to make this letter a secret. I hope your beloved wakes up soon and you both may return. Please, our future is in your hands. Your friend and right-hand man has placed a guard or two secretly for me. I hope I don't get caught. If I do though, please make sure nothing happens to my family. One of your loyal subjects, now and forever,
Martin Strand
*********
I gasp and look at the date. It was written a week ago and from the looks of it, it was never open. "June!" I yell.
June walks in quickly. "Yes Alpha, do you need anything?" She asks. I stand up. "Yes. I'm going to go out quickly to the Vampire Kingdom. I have to find something out. Don't tell Lucas where I'm going. If he knows you're lying, tell him I forced you to keep quiet" I command and she bows. "Yes Alpha" is the last I hear. I quickly walk out. I nod at Mark and he opens the gates. He closes it immediately after I'm gone and I start running quickly, maybe as quick as a Vampire.
(A/N- Quick thing. in my book here, vampires are faster than werewolves unless a vamp is bad and is like a rouge vamp attacking a pack or when a wolf is in danger then the goddess gives them the help to run faster. Back to the story)
I use my newfound power to cover me. I concentrate and suddenly feel a change. I stop and spot someone... A *sniff sniff* Rouge. By the looks of it, this man is good. I step in front of him and he appears not to see me. I think again and then the man sees me.
"Oh. Ma'am! I didn't see you there. Could you help me? I was convicted of murder. But I swear it wasn't me! My, my, own son accused me. He did it. He killed a man who was supposedly trying to aggravate his wife. I tried to reason with him but when the patrol came, he said I did it. I was about to say it wasn't but he has a family, a mate, and kids. I have nothing. My kids have their own families and my mate... she has long since disappeared in a pack fight once. Never to be seen again... Its been 8 years" the man explains. By then he starts crying and I just know he is honest. I can feel it.
Judge my emotions but I know when one lies. This man does not lie. "Don't worry. Don't cry. I'll help you. I'll take you to my pack" I say, smiling softly. "But won't your Alpha not believe me?" He asks sadly. Apparently, more than one Alpha has already rejected him. "Well, as an Alpha, I say you are innocent" I smile and he looks up, happiness in his teary eyes. "Thank you, Alpha..." He says but finds himself not knowing her title.
"Summers. Call me Alexa. And since you no longer have a family, I'll be it" he nods gratefully.
(A/N: This man is in his late 80s)
"and my kids can be your family as well. Now, I'm going to get someone to take you to the pack. I would myself, but I have an important thing to do first" I tell him and he nods, thankful.
**
"Hey, Jenni?" I say softly. "Yes, Lexi?" She asks, carefree as she does something. "Well I'm in mile 98, you know like an hour away from the pack? I have a new member. Please come get him. He is old and needs help. Please. Don't tell anyone. I have something important to do. He's beside the road in a bush" I say.
"Okay, I'll handle it. Tell him to hide just in case someone finds him" she says seriously.
**
I finish linking her, smiling. "My gamma will be here soon. Hide there so no bad rouge can get you. Be careful" I hug him and plant a kiss on his forehead. I watch him hide and I wave goodbye before running and becoming invisible again with the water bending the light so I won't be seen. I quickly run into the Vampire Kingdom and make sure to mask my scent. I follow some people until I spot Santiago far off from people. I quickly run over there and blend in with the shadows. I appear and he looks stunned before I silence him.
"Santiago, do you know where Martin Strand's house is?" I ask as I look away. "Yes ma'am, its in the far corner on Pike ave. It's a lonely street so you shouldn't have much trouble. Begin there, go down, then left, then in ninth ave, go right to Pike ave, then left, and house number 1854 should do" he says, looking at other people and bowing. "Thank you. Is he okay?" I ask as I get ready to leave. "He's about to be convicted tomorrow. They found out" he mutters softly.
"Thank you" I whisper. I make myself invisible again, or that's what I think it is, and quickly follow his directions. I find the house and knock. When he opens it, I speak. "Shh. Don't scream. It's Alexandria Summers. Move aside so I can enter" I say. He nods and moves aside before looking around. I get in and he closes the door. I close the curtains and ask him if there's a place soundproof. "All homes are sound-proof so we have privacy as we are vampires" he explains. I nod.
"It's okay. I heard you are about to be convicted" I say softly. He looks down and nods. "Yes, ma'am. A thousand whips. Then I'll be exiled for 200 years from this kingdom. Please have mercy on my family" he begs. I furrow my eyebrows. "Now wait for a second, by my mate, I'm Queen right?" I ask and he nods. "So no. You are now a member of my family. So where is your family?" I ask as I look outside the window. "They are spread around town. I have a total of 40 members in this country. Most live in Park avenue Then about 10 in Stored lane" he says.
"Can you make them all come here?" I ask, already planning. "Yes ma'am," he says. "Make sure it's done slowly so no one suspects. Tell them to pack some stuff and leave it on their porches. I have favor or two to call in" he nods. I grab my phone and motion for him to call his family. He nods and leaves, I call a number I haven't called in a very long while. "Eller! If it isn't little Ms. Alpha Queen! Finally awake I see, sleeping beauty" she teases and I laugh. "Meggy, Meggy, Meggy. No change I see" I taunt back.
"So what do you need. Cause I'm 100% sure you don't want to just have some tea and crumpets" she says smartly. I affirm. "I need a little favor," I say.
"Speak to me child," she says. "So it's about Vampires," I say as she laughs. "I need a witch. A strong witch to get all the luggage of all the Strands family living within the Vampire Kingdom my mate owns. Every single Strand, grandchildren, kids, nieces, nephews, etc. of Martin Strand" I say and I hear her speaking. "Yes yes. I've got you. Tell me when to start" she says. I look over at Martin.
"They've all placed their bags out where you said. Soon they'll be here. In about a second," he confirms. We hear a knock and I open the door, not showing my face. Martin quickly leads them in and I hear another knock. The last of them come in and I look and see a guard approaching. I mutter to myself. "Guard approaching. Say that you want a get together before Martin is exiled tomorrow. Don't say a word of me being here" I command and mask my scent. I silence my phone, make myself invisible and go to the side. They watch where I was. "Don't look at me! Pretend I'm not here. Start telling stories of the family" I say and then shut my mouth. They nod and we hear a knock. A lady stands and goes over while the others talk.
Martin begins telling a story. "Oh. Hello guard! Is there anything wrong?" The lady asks, hiding the truth well. "What are all you doing here? It was suspicious. We got reports" the guard says. "Oh. We apologize, sir. We decided to surprise my dad and have a last family meeting. A gathering before he is... exiled" she says, sadly. He nods and leaves. She closes the door and I check on the window and the man is still there, looking at the house, focused.
There's only one other time I've seen someone look like that. That was Lucas, two months after getting together, wanting to listen in on mine and Alex's conversation. I grab my phone quickly. "Now Megan. Now!" I yell. I hear a chant and then I spot the closest Strand house and the stuff disappears. "Thank you. I'll call you back later" I hang up "Hold hands quickly" they do as said. I call Lucia.
"Alexandria! Where are you?! Lucas is worried! He's about to start a rampage" Lucia says anxiously. "Okay. Tell him to chill out. I need you to teleport to the kingdom in Martin Strands house right now!" I watch as the guard runs to other guards.
In a second, she appears. "I need you to teleport these people to the pack. Right now! They know werewolves are here. Wait," I listen and I notice a super speed. The in-laws. I tell her to go. She quickly chants and they all disappear. "Go! I'm running. I need some... fun. Go! Lucia go now, don't come back. I'll be there in 30 minutes or less" I command. She nods and hugs me before teleporting back home. I smirk softly. Payback dears.
I make myself invisible and suddenly Carlos and The in-laws appear as well as a guard or two. "Where are they?!" My dear mother-in-law screeches. "My pack," I say simply. She turns to look around. "Who said that!?" My father-in-law commands. "A ghost, you idiot" I taunt. "Appear! Right now! As Queen of the vampire kingdom, I demand you to ap-" my mother-in-law commands and I laugh as I appear. "Queen?! You? No honey. You were Queen as in a whole lifetime ago. I'm Queen now" they gasp. Carlos smirks.
"Surprise Surprise!! What, my in-laws? You didn't miss me? ...but it was only a week ago, I saw you. Remember our nice little chat?" I smile as I motion at their necks. They shudder. "Well it was nice seeing you all but I have to run" I wink and strut in front of them and leave the door. I spot lots of guards with their fangs out and swords or guns ready. I look. "Hmm, this won't do! You lazy Vamps need to work harder. Now, what is it with you raising your weapons at me? Luke won't be happy. Well, whatever. Bye!" I yell. I start running and I spot the old King and Queen chasing me. I laugh and run faster until I lose them.
Just then I spot them both coming, close to attacking me. I smirk as I see the gates but it'll take them forever to open the gates. I sigh and summon water from the lake inside the pack. I make it as a sort of ladder and quickly go up. I make sure to avoid the traps on top and quickly place the water down. I run to the castle and spot them outside the gates knocking frantically. "Jennifer! Hide the Vamps from Lucas" I yell as I see Lucia. "Hide who from me?" I hear. I turn and smile widely. "Lucas! Babyyy! Hey love. Go Jenni!" she nods and leaves.
Leaving me with a half angry, half amused Lucas. "Alpha! King! Your in-laws/parents are here. They're angry or something" June says as she rushes to us. "Let them in," Lucas says. She looks at me and I nod. "Alexander! Get your butt over here! I need protection please!" I yell loudly. I hear footsteps. "Sure!" He says. He comes over and hugs me. I hug back and then he gets serious and gets in a fighting stance. In a flash, my in-laws come in pissed and well... actually beyond angry. Fuck. I should have covered up their scent. "Family! In-Laws! What a pleasant surprise. What brings you here? Look, baby, it's your parents!" I say, then mentally facepalm. No duh Alexa... They're strangers. Damn it!
**
"Eww. Ugh, I hate them" I sneer.
"Haha!" Is all Alex answers back with.
**
"So what is it that's the matter?" I ask, hiding my smirk. "You! You took a criminal and his family! He was to be convicted" Lucas's mom yells at me and I fight back my wolf. Ooh! Doesn't that witch know not to disrespect an Alpha?! "Whatever do you mean?" I smile tightly. "Give him back right now!" The king defends. Okay, I'm done with this bs. "And why would I have him!? And if I may ask, why did he get convicted?" I snap. Lucas looks confused. "He-He-He got disrespectful to the King and Queen" His dad stutters. "Who?" I ask. "Us! Of course" his mother snaps. "Wrong answer my dear! Don't you remember Lucas and I, Alexandria, are King And Queen?!
"Do you know why you convicted him? Because he sent Lucas a letter a week ago just when I woke up that you two were acting as King and Queen. Many of the Vampires want us there!" I sigh and look at Lucas. "He wrote that they were talking nonsense about me and the children! My Kids!! You don't talk about my kids!" I yell, turning to them. I'm about to jump them but Lucas holds me back. I try to get him off of me but I can't. Stupid, strong, mate. I calm down and make him let me go. "You aren't convicting MY people. Vampire or not, I'm Queen, not you. Which leads me to my FIRST decision as Queen of the Vampire Kingdom. We are moving in a week's maximum" I smirk and smile sweetly at Lucas. He nods and they stare, shocked. "Now if you may leave. Your Stench is covering my precious pack. Bye!" I personally lead them out and snap the gates shut. "Thank you, never come again!" I yell. I turn to my pack. "Let's get some things handled"
