Chapter 30
ALPHA KANEN
The whole war had exceeded my expectations. I didn’t want to blame Malon, but he was the one who brought the suggestion. However I agreed to it, so there wasn’t really a chance of passing the baton.
I really wished I didn’t listen to him, and I just didn’t think the way I had. The way I had initially planned for all these to go wasn’t how it went. I initially planned to follow this prepared, violent and ready for action outside my palace walls.
Now several guards in my pack were severely wounded and Rose was much more terrified than before.
Zion had already let himself out, because I remember that sometime within the war I had shouted for them to protect him as he fought.
Jackie and Tusa were now aware that zion was no longer on their side, and I knew this was not going to be an easy stretch.
What was I going to do from here?
Jackie and Tusa has surprised us bringing other people from their alliances or could it be that Jackie had used his blackmagic to multiply his wolves?
I couldn’t place my fingers on it and the whole thought of it was giving me severe headaches.
“This is all my fault Alpha,” Malone said, his head bowed. I didn’t respond to him, my focus on what I was going to do now. What was I going to do now that this whole thing had escalated into something that I didn’t plan for?, I asked myself, my head banging loudly it felt like I could almost hear it.
Rose was in the room terrified to death and of dying, and Zion really was nowhere to be found.
Malone just sat quietly saying nothing to me, and I knew he was blaming himself a lot for his actions.
I did not even bother blaming him. I was blaming myself because I was the Alpha and I could have chosen to take the entire situation differently, but I didn’t.
I was so ashamed of myself and terrified. I was sure counting from now Rose wouldn’t even eat or sleep at all consider how she had reacted in previous situations that weren’t this huge.
For heaven’s sake she was pregnant!! How did I make such a silly mistake? Was I being controlled?
I send someone back to check up on her, asking her if she would want something to eat before she slept.
“She didn’t respond to me Alpha. She was shivering and looked tensed” The guard had reported.
I couldn’t look her in the eye. Would I say I actually forgot that she was pregnant?
She shouldn’t have been there in the first place!! What if something had happened to her or my babies?
I would have lost everything.
The whole Pack was bustling with talks because it had spread far and wide.
The physicians Bay couldn’t even contain the number of casualties and everything was a mess.
I’m pacing back and forth in the palace, the heat making me restless. I don’t know exactly where zion is, but I assign guards immediately to summon him. I knew he was somewhere within the palace, and we all needed to stay close to each other and be at alert, I need to ensure he’s safe.

Chapter 30
Every move needs to be guarded, as any wrong step could mean danger. I worked art swiftly to protect him and one as i was needed.
Zion approached me, covered in wounds. He had gone to nurse them a little bit, and was asking if I was fine. It enak me that the protective portion the diviner made wasn’t given to hin
- on the other hand, had little or no scratches or injuries, and I knew I had fought bravely for my father’s lineage, Zion, Rose and i
His injuries frustrated me as I realized he wasn’t covered by the Black magic he used before. That was the workof Tosa, and must have been withdrawn as soon as they noticed he had decamped.
Everything felt overwhelming, and I was lost on what to do. Regret flooded in seriously–I should’ve researched these people more before engaging them in a stupid fight. The first meeting with the Tusa and Jackie didn’t go well, and I wondered what had made me think they would be intrested in either waving or recepting a white peace Play
Now this disastrous second encounter weighed heavily on me. As I’m pacing there, I’m consumed by thoughts of what I could have changed but didn’t.
I asked for Malone to ensure Zion’s safety, urging katherine his mate to join Rose for company while fortifying the room with four guards instead of the usual two.
My heart raced; these men aimed to delete my generation completely, wiping out my father’s legacy.
Presenting my father’s generation to him felt like handing over everything he had worked for. I had put myself, Rose and Zion in the same place, including the unborn children.
It was sheer luck that he hadn’t wiped us out yet. Jackie’s thirst for vengeance and Tusa’s thirst for power threatened the throne. They had called me weak, and I was seething with anger, feeling powerless.
I decided to keep my decisions private, not allowing anyone, not even Zion to be in the know.
It felt like information was being manipulated, and I couldn’t understand why. If Jackie was making use of black magic to gain palace intel, I couldn’t risk saying more. I’d retain most plans to myself, activating them cautiously. That was the agreement, and I was going to make sure I stuck to it. I wasn’t going to lose multiple times in a row as this was the second time in a row I was losing.
I had to look for a way to do this, and fast. ” Brother. They might have won the battle, but they would lose the war Malone said, standing and walking up to me While consoling me concerning what had happened.
It was two of us in this anyways. He was the owner of the throne.
When Malone left, Zion said he wanted to discuss something with me. I wondered what that was, curious that there was something henhad Left unsaid.
“I’m all ears brother” I said to him. I honestly wasn’t in the disposition to listen to anything and I was still seething with anger, but he was my brother so I needed to indulge him.
‘It’s about Rose” he said simply, looking up at me, his face holding alot of information. I hoped it was nothing wrong. I couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong with Rose, no. Not at this time.
“What about her, Zion?” I asked him, the meanness of my face readable by someone who was blind.
“Rose isn’t from the pack she thinks she is from. Alpha Jim and his lady weren’t her parents” he said.
*What are you saying? How can you even say this?” I asked him, hoping he knew the implications of this information.
“Yes. You have to mark Rose, as it is obvious you haven’t marked her yet. She chose you to be her mate, you weren’t originally the fated mate, as she isn’t from that family. Her real family died along time ago” He added.

Chapter 30
“Why would I believe you?” I asked him. “What’s all this crappy information and where’s it coming from? Zion you know we are dealing with a lot here. You have to be sure, and I mean totally sure about whatever it is that you’re saying. We don’t have the time to gallivant” I said to him, my face unsmiling.
Tusa told Jackie. That was the last bit of information I got before they discovered me.” He said. I looked at him, not saying a word, and asked him to proceed.
“When they couldn’t get to Rose in the palace, they started researching her parents to see if punishing them or taking them hostage would make you confused and they wanted to capitalize on that confusion as you sought out what to do. Of course you wouldn’t want your wife’s parents dead, and that was the plan. But that research brought alot of truths to the surface.” Malone said.
“Continue” I nodded to him.
“They started asking people in the pack, and the pack is a tight knit snall pack so at first no one was talking. Then they had to take some people forcefully. When they discovered that her parents were already dead, they decided to look for dirt around the family that they could use to their advantage. Turns out Rose was taken from her true parent” Malone narrated.
“Parent? As in one?” I asked, confused and noticing he made the word singular.
“Yes. Rose’s mother got pregnant out of wedlock, and was chased away by her parents at the time. She was looking for a place to stay, and found her way to Alpha Jim’s pack. They took care of her, and when the day of her delivery came around she passed out due to so much blood. She passed, but Rose lived. They never informed Rose’s mother’s family, although at the time it was unclear whether they would care.
They took her as their own, never telling her the truth after” He concluded.
I was angry right now. Everything was surprising me and in a very bad way. I couldn’t move two steps without being surprised, and it was very terrible for me. I was tired of this whole thing. I had promised Rose no more suprises, and so I couldn’t keep this for her waiting for her to find out later. I would have to let her know about this, word for word, as soon as possible.
Why was a part of me feeling relieved? Was it because I felt that the people I had killed weren’t Rose’s parents?
I couldn’t tell, I just knew it didn’t make me a good person. I was terrified of the outcome, she was already in a bad shape and I was going to add that more of her life was also a lie. I hated this. I wished someone would help me convey this information to her but I couldn’t run away from it.
“The pack people knew this? And Rose never heard it as small gossip while she grew up?” I asked.
“I don’t know how it managed to stay in for so long” Zion said resignedly.
“Her father? They never found him? Her mother never revealed who he was?” I asked desperately looking for a link I could use to get her real ancestry when all this was over.
“The main reason her mom was chased away wasn’t only because she was pregnant. It was also because she didn’t know who had gotten her pregnant. Tusa had supplied the information that she was drunk at the time, and it was a one time thing” Zion added.
I was awestruck. Of all the things happening now, history had decided to show it’s dirty linen and reveal that Rose didn’t have a known father, and that her mother was dead. Better still, I had killed the only ones she knew. Where do I start from?
I felt Terrible. This was the worst day I had ever had, asides from the day I lost my parents. This was the worst day of my entire life.
I really don’t know how I’m going to pass this information to her ” I said sadly.
She would need to know. I’ve been trying to avoid this, but may I ask, Tusa said you killed Rose’s parents” Zion asked, careful with his words.

Chapter 30
“They were plotting a rebellion against this pack. And I wasn’t mated to her yet as at then,” I said, as though it would have justified my actions.
“Maybe imprisoned, punished or something?” Zion asked.
“I needed to teach others a lesson. It’s easy for you to day brother, but this pack has always been under seige!” I said, my anger building up. I was supposed to regret what happened, but here I was, getting angry that my brother was pointing it out to me, again.
“You kept trying to dominate smaller packs, even when they had done nothing. Don’t you think they were trying to protect themselves? It was also said that you already took Rose as at then?” Zion proceeded, knowing he was annoying me but proceeding anyways.
“Maybe I wasn’t the best Alpha, but I was always doing what I thought was the best f
or this pack!” I said, standing up.
I was going to go towards Rose and inform her of this catastrophe now that it was still fresh. If I didn’t, I wasn’t sure I would bring it up again.
