We trailed behind the harsh woman as Lena and I prefers to call her. Lena held my hand in such a way that she believes if she release it I’d run away. I contained the pain because I was nervous too.
” I just hope this isn’t the end of us” she whispered into my ears. I would have laughed if we weren’t close to the harsh lady.
” Nothing like that will happen, Lena. Think positive always”
She pouted ” I’m trying but different scenario keeps swirling in my head and you know I find it hard to stop them ”
I rolled my eyes” ask your wolf for help ”
She gave me a look ” you know she won’t help with all the mate issues we have”
I let out a sigh fastening our paste as the lady opened a big wooden door for us to enter. We all rushed in not ready for her shenanigans. I said a little prayer to the moon goddess to come to my rescue.
The room was big like that of a museum. A bigger museum that has different shapes of ancient skulls and skeletons designed on the wall. This made me wonder if they were skeletons.
” Are this real?” Lena asked to whisper as if reading my mind and I shrugged in return
” I don’t think so”
” They are real,” the harsh lady said out of the blue and that made us squealed in fear. We didn’t know she was listening to our conversation. “These skulls and Skeletons all belong to our forefathers, our hero. They are kept here for reference purposes. People of high rankers are the only ones allowed to enter here.
Then why are we here? I thought to myself.
As if reading my mind she said ” I brought you here because this will be your first place to clean. Your brooms and mop are behind the mirror down the door at the last end ” she pointed then turned to us again ” The alpha will come to inspect himself when you’re done so do your best if you don’t want to be punished. He values this place more than anything you could think of” she said sternly
We all nodded our heads assuring her that we’ll do our best. My eyes went round the room and something caught my eyes. There was a golden door far away from where we stood. Something about what was behind the door felt uncertain. My wolf also became unsettled and I couldn’t agree less with her.
” So since we are done talking, I believe you can start your work.” She clasped her hands together and was about to make her way for the door but then again she paused like someone that forgot something” less I forget if you don’t want to get into trouble make sure you stay far away from the Craving Room.”
We looked at each other confused by what she meant. But something tells me it’s the room with the golden door.
She rolled get eyes at our confused faces ” The Craving Room is the last room with the golden door. If you don’t what to be killed by the alpha himself, so stay away from the door.”
My colleagues nodded in understanding but I still have the urge to know what was in that room. This feeling is beyond me and I can’t explain it myself.
” Good. Go to work”

Third-person POV
The King Alpha sat tall on his throne looking all stiff and ready for business. The beta mind linked him about some rogues that were found along the boundary of the packs. This has been happening for so long but recently the case has been too much to handle.
A lot of rogues were thrown into the dungeon to suffer while some that proved to be stubborn were killed by King Alpha.
King Alpha sighed as the mind linking ended. He rubbed his crown tiredly. He hasn’t had any sleep for the past week with all that has been going on lately.
A knock was heard ” Come in” he said already knew who it was all thanks to his scent gift.
Granny Joanne walked in with head bowed down. She waited for the Alpha to motion her forward before she could move forward ” Long live Alpha ”
He signaled with his finger for her to rise” What do you want? I hope it is something worth hearing”
” Trust me Alpha it’s something important. I did a personal inspection of the new inmates and I smell no evil from any but…” She paused
” But what?” He asked with a hard face
Granny Joanne wished she wasn’t the one giving this information but that was her job” But I find something suspicious about one of them”
” Who is that?” He glared even harder making granny Joanne cower in fear.
” Tell me!” She gritted out while pounding his palm on his desk.
” Melissa Alpha… Her name is Melissa from the wast pack” She stuttered out of fear.
The King Alpha tasted the name on his tongue” Melissa”
” Yes Alpha”
” What is it about her?”
” I wasn’t able to catch her smell. She smells neutral as if she doesn’t have a scent at all. I think she is hiding her scent or something ” She explained.
” How is that even possible? That is not something a werewolf can do except he or she has some special power by the moon goddess” he growled out ” Where is she right now? Bring her to me?!”
“Madam Lydia took them to their post. She’ll be working in the palace.”
” Good, I need you to keep a watchful eye on her. Whatever she must be hiding, I want to know”
Granny Joanne bowed ” Yes Alpha”
” You are dismissed ”
The alpha was in deep thought after she was out . He wants to meet this particular lady.
