The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

< Gazi Desert >

"Are we there yet, Luna?" one of Isolde\'s companions sweated hard against the harsh sun. The Blood River Pack who remained loyal to her were not used to the heat of the desert. They were mountainous people and spent a lot of their time in areas with a colder climate.

"Yes, almost!" Isolde hissed at them. "Remember your places. It will be difficult, but I will vouch for all of you as strong warriors that can be an asset to this pack."

Isolde Salazar no longer had a place in the Blood River Pack. It filled her with unimaginable rage because she had lost her position, but there was another place that she could go to despite her leaving it all behind before.

The Obsidian Sand Pack.

She raised her head and found the old sands that were once bathed in blood transformed into a thriving community. Their pack nearly got wiped out before, but now it was growing again.

Several other lycan guards stationed at the entrance raised their claws. "Who goes there!"

"Are you blind?" Isolde narrowed her eyes on the men. They shared the same skin color so they surely should have identified her. "I am a former member of Obsidian Sand Pack, Isolde Salazar. I was the Luna of the Blood River Pack. Take me to your Alpha. He knows who I am."

"Blood River Pack?" The lycan guards were shocked.

At Isolde\'s name, several of the guards took her to their Alpha along with the Blood River Pack members who came with her. They were surrounded but Isolde didn\'t bat an eye.

"You…" the Alpha growled at the sight of Isolde. He was a man in his late forty who looked fierce and unfriendly. He shared similar physical traits with Isolde. His skin was tanned and his black hair looked messy. "Why are you here, Isolde? Haven\'t you left us already because you prefered the Blood River Pack?"

Isolde\'s expression shifted. "The winds have changed and brought me back."

A beautiful female lycan suddenly appeared and approached the Alpha without a moment\'s hesitation. She whispered. "Father, I heard that members of Blood River Pack is here but who is that woman?"

"Oh, is this my niece?" Isolde smiled and shook her head sadly. "I\'m upset that you never told me. It has been so long since we last met, brother. You\'ve made our pack prosper even when I thought it would not."

"Aunt?" the beautiful Lycan\'s eyes widened. She looked at Isolde and her father, the Alpha, alternately.

"Do not give her a moment of your time, Isla." the Alpha warned his daughter before narrowing his eyes at his sister. "Tell me why you are here, Isolde. I do not have time for your mind games."

Isolde sighed and placed a hand on her chest. "I have lost my husband and my beloved youngest. Now, my cruel eldest son has shunned me and cast me out of the Blood River Pack."

"Oh no," Isla whispered and she looked at Isolde with concern. She had heard good things about Blood River Pack since Leland took over and even though they were far away, she felt proud of her relative. "I… you mean that my cousin did that to his own mother?"

The Alpha\'s face didn\'t change. "And so you come running here expecting us to help you?"

"My son\'s mind has been twisted by that human woman he fell in love with." Isolde shook her head. "I cannot stay there when my son\'s ideals have already changed in favor of the humans."

"What?" the Alpha\'s eyes widened.

Isolde couldn\'t approach the witches any longer knowing that she had failed them in separating Leland from Sophie. So, she went for the pack that she knew would accept her.

"It is true." Isolde clenched her fist. "They are human sympathizers. If you must recall that the reason for our downfall is because of the last Lycan King\'s daughter, Anne, that wench consorted with humans."

The Alpha of the Obsidian Sand Pack, Alpha Zaros, didn\'t bat an eye at his sister\'s words. However, he felt his blood boil at the mention of the Lycan King\'s daughter.

He remembered how the great war between the lycans and humans was truly affected by the change of stance. The king\'s daughter was a great assassin and was supposed to assassinate the king of Riga and many others.

However, it was widely known and spread that she betrayed the Blood River Pack. The Alpha, Leon, was even said to avoid the kingdom of Riga to give Anne peace with her human husband.

It was something that tarnished the reputation of Blood River Pack, but the other packs couldn\'t do anything with the tremendous power they had.

Alpha Zaros sighed deeply and looked Isolde in the eye. "And how is this related to the one seducing your son now?"

"It\'s Anne\'s daughter who brought the changes to Blood River Pack." Isolde\'s face was blank. "It is disgusting. She has tainted it with her human blood. It is unacceptable, brother."

"Are you expecting me to do something against the strongest and largest lycan pack in the entire continent?" Her brother asked. "If it is only to shelter you, then perhaps I can relent to your presence here but you will not make war with them."

"You are only frightened because of Blood River Pack\'s power, right?" Isolde batted her eyes at her brother.

"It makes sense too." the Alpha said. "I will not shake the hornet\'s nest."

"I know their weaknesses well," Isolde said. "I have been the Luna of the Blood River Pack for over a long time before my stupid son, Leland, took over. I know it better than him and I am sure that they have taken a great loss too."

The Alpha shifted uncertainly. "A great loss to the Blood River Pack? What happened?"

He was surprised to hear from Isolde that the once the biggest and most powerful pack in their continent experienced great loss. Was Isolde telling the truth?
