Looking at Alpha Bashir, Ralph was conflicted. She wasn’t sure what she was expected to do, especially now th best friend had made a show. She didn’t know if she was to smile and embrace him, ask him the endless questions that she had, or if she was to pretend that nothing had happened and life was oy. Everything was so conflicting and her heart hurt at the sight. Maybe she was losing her mind, but then she couldn’t She couldn’t be here in the same roorn with Bashir.
Your coronation ceremony was beautiful. It is magnificent, king Miroslav. This is fitting for a Shehzadi like Ralphine. Don’t you think so?” Alpha Bashir said to the king, even though his eyes were on the Lycan queen. He had always had a little crush on Ralphine and always made it known, Bashir always promised that he would come and free Ralph from Koslov and it seemed like the Lycan king had beaten him to it. Perhaps it was too late for him, right?
“Thank you, alpha. I would hate to take up much of your time. Feel free to join us at the table later. I bet you have a lot of things to discuss with the king and the other leaders, no?” Ralpline asked dismissively, making King Miroslav raise a brow at his queen. He had seen her and known her for a while and he could tell that there was more to this discussion. However, given that it was their coronation, he wouldn’t ask questions. Or maybe he was thinking too much about things that didn’t exist at the moment..yeah?
“Of course, Shehzadi. And congratulations on being the Lycan queen of Asmoria, Habibi. I shall take my leave now, King Miroslav Alpha Bashir said, adding the last bit quickly when he saw the king’s jaw tick. He knew that the king was losing his patience, and while they were the most powerful leaders in this setting, the Lycan king was the devil himself and that was something that Bashir wasn’t ready to explore, not for anything, not even the girl he loved with all of him, who was currently wearing the crown of the devil himself.
w do you know him, and why the fuck does he call you Shehzadi? king Miroslav asked once the Mirza pack alpha left.
“What?” Ralphine asked when she looked at her king, her erasthai and the man she was falling in love with. He looked angry. like he wanted to burn things and more than anything, the Lycah king looked jealous. It was the same face that she had seen on Bashir’s face and frankly she wasn’t sure what she was to make of this.
Two of the most powerful men in the realm were jealous over her and she was standing there in the middle, like a mountain without a direction. Miroslav was her new home, but Bashir meant the world to her. He knew her in and out. The Mirza “pack alpha knew her better than anyone ever would and that confused Ralphine even more.
“Him. Bashir. Is he your ex–boyfriend?” the king asked and Ralphine contemplated laughing at how ridiculous he sounded, but at the same time she had to remind herself that she had chosen this king, she had chosen him over everything and she had done it willingly with her heart. Well, that was before she had seen Bashir, but surely she wouldn’t abandon the king for the alpha, right?
“Ibrahim,” Ralphine said as she slowly led the king outside the throne room into the field that had bloomed with beautiful purple lilies. They hadn’t realized it yet but it was lily season and they were beautiful as hell The Lycan king didn’t hesitate to follow his queen outside. He didn’t hesitate even when there were whispers on how they were trying to ditch everyone else and have their happy time together. It was like today was theirs and theirs alone, so everyone was just watching from a distance. Well, they were right. Today was more than words could explain and it meant the world to the both of them.
“Ralph. We can’t go any further and you haven’t answered my question,” the Lycan king said as he looked at his crasthan
Here, sit with me, please,” Ralph said as she pointed to the grass below them. They looked soft unlike the tense situation that Ralph was trying to navigate slowly. She knew this was a tricky time for them here and she had to fire out a way to make sure there were no casualties. And the only way to do that was to try and make things make sense for her king. Her husband and her erasthai.
“R” the king began but his queen interrupted him once they had sat on the grass. She laid her head on his lap, and he took off her crown and put it on the side, to avoid hitting her. The day was still new and they needed to get through this, together Ralph was going to make sure of it herself, no matter what happened with Bashir or anyone else in the realm.
“before I tell you what it is, I need you to understand that all of this was a long time ago, alright? And no, it’s not something you should worry about I love you; I chose you and I need you, just you, Ibrahim Can we agree on that Ralph asked as she looked up at the king from his lap Slar loved how his brands had grown and were covering his chin, how his beauntul nose

was so tiny against all the hairs on his face. She loved how simple he looked and how dangerously innocent he seemed to be It was like he was pulling her in once again, with his purple orbs that were as pretty as the day itself.
e for the answers. “Why do I feel I’m about to agree to a massacre of sorts the king asked, almost forgetting that he wa However, he tristed her. He trusted this woman so much that if she told him that she was the moon goudess and that he needed to worship her, then he would do it without a second thought. Ralph knew that too, maybe that’s why she was starting their relationship with honesty, as it always had been through and through.
“You’re my lifeline, Ibrahim. Nothing will ever change that, not even Bashir. I love only you, I choose only you, and I will always root for us, for this,” Ralphine said and the king let out a low growl of understanding.
“Fine. What is it?” the king asked and Ralph turned to her side, facing the purple lilies in the distance. The weather was sunny, not too sunny. Just far enough to make the beautiful day even prettier. It was perfect for the two love birds and Ralphine hoped that this would make whatever she would tell the king to ease his mind. It was a gamble but then she had promised herself she would always be honest with him.
“Bashir.. Well, now he’s alpha Bashir. He was my best friend and judging by how he interacted today too, I guess he still is. We worked in the quarries together and expectedly; we had dreams of what our future would look like. We dreamt of mates, dreamt of a better life, one that didn’t have us pining over the leftovers from the highborns of Koslov. It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for us, when he opted to go to the human lands to try his luck. I didn’t stop him. He was destined for greater things and he looked like he could do well there.
“However, months later, the news came back to Koslov and we were told that he died, in some altercation, the details were a tad blurry but that was the last I saw of him. I had lost my best friend, but compared to the life I was living in Koslov, the only thing I could do was hope to the goddess that his soul had rested. And today is the first time I saw him, not to mention learning about him being the alpha of the new strongest pack. It was insane really. We haven’t seen each other for years and now he shows up just like that.
“A part
of me hopes he still is my best friend while the other is really not sure what he thinks anymore. He has grown harder to read, and I couldn’t even get shit from his face today.” Ralphine said earnestly while her erasthai listened. She was keeping her promise to him and he knew that. Unknown to the Lycans, the king could sense when someone was lying and he had been hoping his queen didn’t lie to him, not today of all the days. He couldn’t take it if she did, because then she would have broken his heart on the first try. Thankfully she didn’t, and that got him relaxed. Maybe he hadn’t made a terrible decision. with this, right?
“What about how he was looking at you today?” the king asked and Ralphine stared at him knowingly. She knew what he was asking, but she wasn’t sure if this was the time for her to say yes to the possibility that Bashir’s crush on her was still existent She couldn’t do that and crush the king’s heart. She couldn’t be that cruel to him, so she pretended like she didn’t know what he was talking about
“I don’t understand.. We were best friends who hadn’t seen each other in literal years. All I saw was excitement. Unless you saw something I didn’t,” Ralphine said, hoping that the king wouldn’t make a big deal of this. Today was their special day, a special occasion just for the two of them and she didn’t want to main it.
“Well, I am a guy and I saw his eyes. He is either in love with you or has a crush on you. One of the two, Miroslav said and Ralph let out a snort. She wasn’t sure what reaction would be best for that anyway. Besides, it wasn’t like there was anything she could do to fix the mess that hadn’t even started, right?
“You saw his eyes? Don’t tell me my dear sweet husband is jealous of a mere alpha. Come on love, I thought you knew you were better than all the men in the realm combined, hmm? No one ever told you that? Ralphine teased and Miroslav looked at her, his face soft but without any emotions
It was like he wasn’t mad or happy, but was trying to stay in balance with what was going on between the two of them. It was quite commendable, really especially coming from a king who had only ever known pain and more pain. Love was new to him, positive emotions were things he had never family grasped, but with the woman in his arts, Miroslav was more than willing to chance on it. Maybe that made him a crazy king, but he would be that, if it meant seeing her happy
“I only care what you think of me, Ralph the Lycan king said, and the queen stilled on his lap. She hadn’t expected that from him, and it wasn’t something to come by easily. No matter what expectations Ralph had, this had to be out of touch and the most unexpected.

“Well, in that case, please never forget that you are my world and everything else can always wait. I care about you, and while you may not need me to remind you every ten seconds, I am glad that I was mated to you. Together, we can make the world a better place, Ibrahim. You don’t have to worry about Bashir and whatever emotion you see on his face. He knows I am your queen now and he knows me well enough to keep in mind that I wouldn’t just make any decisin ist because I could He won’t try to fuck this up for me and if he does, then I have you to protect me, don’t I?” Ralphine said and the king smiled, pinching her cheeks softly as he watched her like she was the best thing that ever happened to him. Miroslav was so much in love and it was beautiful.
However, in the distance, as the king and his queen had their ingments, Alpha Bashir was watching, staring with hopeful eyes as the girl he loved was in another man’s arms. However, that never stopped him before. He would fight for her. No matter what the price would be, would he ever win?
Tll fight for you. Shehzadi. Meri Shehzadi.
