Chapter 09 – Zues Point of view
I smell a bit of her scent and I walk out of bed in that moment. I want this to get over and for me to continue my search for that Alpha of the rogues. I also got some other responsibilities and duties as a King.
This mate thing is really slowing me down. Once this is over, I will train and kill those pathetic rogues.
But where the hell is that girl? Is she playing hide and seek to me? I better get going to find her.
We search the seven packs of our land and come with the last but her scent is so faint and there is a mere possibility that she's not belongs to a pack.
Is she a rogue that's why she didn't belong to any pack?
We search everywhere but I can't see her.
The air moves freely in my hair. I jump off the window. Something's telling me that I need to do this.
I sniff the air and the scent of vanilla and rose is now strong.
‘She's here.’ My wolf said.
‘What the hell is she doing in the forest in the middle of the night?’ I replied.
I walk slowly following the scent that leads me to a river. I saw clothes on the rocks near the tree.
‘She's here.’ My wolf said.
Through the light that coming from the moon, I can see a woman playing the water. She splashes waters in the sky and laugh. She continues doing it until she suddenly stops.
She’s looking around like she's feeling that someone is watching her.
"Is there anyone in there? Show yourself and don't hide in a stupid tree." She shouted in my direction.
I smirk in the thought that she thinks that I am scared of her.
She gets out of the water, I can see all of her. Her body; her sexy curves and breast and when she turns around and pick her clothes I can see the whip marks in her back.
Who the hell did that to her?
"I can sense you, stop peeking around like a pervert and show yourself immediately" She shouted again but now she's fully dress.
I show myself and automatically she froze in her place, looking surprise at my presence.
So, he knows who I am.....

Katharina Point of View
I was so shocked the moment I saw his face. He is now looking at me without any emotion. For Moon Goddess sake, he is my King. What is he doing here?
I look down giving him my respect. "My King." I said.
I heard a growl coming from him. I automatically take a step back, scared that I did something wrong.
"What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I'm just memorizing the pack territory of Alpha Duren." I said, still not looking in his face.
"Why? Are you new here? And what is your name?" He is now moving towards me.
"I am Katharina Omnirous, and yes I am new in Alpha Duren pack, I join them yesterday, My King." I answered.
He is now near me. I can feel the heat radiating from his body.
"Are you related to Alpha Ramus of Omnirous pack?"
"Yes, My King. I am his daughter."
"It's the first time I heard that there is a female blood line of Alpha. Though you’re not the first born, still you are born in Alpha blood. And why did you left your pack and join here?" He said.
"I'm not aware of my rarity and to I left Omnirous pack because my father and I didn't get along." I said.
"Why are you nervous Kath?"
All of the sudden, I look into his eyes as if my body has its own control.
"It's nothing my King. I'm just shocked of your presence here right now. I don't know that you're in this pack." This is the first time I actually see his face so close. He has a honey blond hair and striking silver eyes. His face was curve as if he is one of the living Gods of this world. Well, technically he is.
"I think you need to go back now in the pack. There are a lot of rogues in this area. They can attack you. Come on." He said.
"I will my King."
"Okay." He said before he move quickly and left me.
That's awkward. He saw me at the river naked. What a first encounter. But why Alpha Duren didn't tell me about the arrival of the King?
Maybe he's just busy. I said to myself.
I run as fast as I can into the room and bump into someone that I have never seen before. Oh, I forgot, I'm just new here.
"I'm sorry. I'm in a rush." I said.
"It’s fine, just be careful next time." He said.
"Yes, I'm sorry again." I said before leaving him and headed to my room.
Who is that man? I feel something wrong about him. Then I come to realization. He's a rogue. I just shrug it off. Alpha Duren maybe allows him in here but how about the King? he might feel him here.
I shake that thought off. Maybe they talk about it and have an agreement about the rogues residing in his area.

Zeus point of View
I woke up early and told my Mother that I already found her.
"This is great, so you're going to tell her that you are her mate and you will marry her and live happily ever after." She said giggling.
"Mother are you insane? I will not let myself drawn to that stupid mate thing. If she wanted to be my wife, she needs to prove herself." I said, sitting and drinking coffee.
"How dare you do that to her?! She's your other half. This is rare opportunity. You must accept her." She shouted.
"Mother do not raise your voice at me. Remember, I'm your King. Now if you will insist that I should take her and be wife that is impossible. Father will kill this girl before she can say I do to me. We don't even know if she's capable of being my queen." I said. Father will surely kill this girl just to continue his plan of marrying me to that Loui girl.
"Well, as expected. Luckily, I have created a good plan about this. Since you preferred a strong Queen, I'm going to have a tournamrnt in the palace. Whoever win will be your Queen." She said.
I look at her, it picks my curiosity. Mother is really something else.
"Sounds fun to me." I said.
"We will bring your mate and another one from this pack and we will ask the other packs to give two representatives from their pack." She said.
"Okay. So, shall we now announce it? I need to go back and do my works in the Kingdom Mother." I said.
"Okay, I will talk to Duren about this. Come out after five minutes." She said leaving me.
This game will be fun since I never thought about it before. The winner, the strongest among them all will be my future Queen regardless if she is my mate or not.
'You're insane! Our mate is here, why do we need to test her.' My wolf said.
'I told you, I don't want a girl who can't fight for the kingdom and can't protect herself when we are not around.'
'Nonsense.' My wolf replied.

Katharina Point of View
Alpha Duren calls all the female fighter of the pack at this early morning. I don't have any idea to why, but since it's important I fix myself as fast as I can.
We fall in line in front of the Pack house.
I saw the King coming from one of the houses beside the pack house, and to my surprise the Queen is also with him talking to Alpha Duren and Beta Justin.
The Queen walks toward us before she looks each and every one of us. Her eyes landed on me and bow slightly to her.
"Good morning ladies, today will be the great day of your life. Two of you will be in a competition in the palace. I will be making a competition for my throne." We are all shocked in her announcement. Almost all the girls giggled in the thought of being the new Queen. "I see all of you are excited but my son, your King will choose two female fighters only from this pack to join the competition. My King, come here and start to choose." She said.
The King moves and look at us one by one. His eyes landed on me and look down immediately. i don't want him to think that I don't have manners.
"This is a hard pick for me but looking at you girls.... hmmmmm I choose the blond girl and the one wearing pink leggings." He said.
I look around and see the girl with the blond hair stepping forward and to my surprise they are all looking at me.
Wait? Did I wear a pink leggings? I look at my clothes and surprise that I am indeed wearing the pink leggings. I look at him but he looks irritated at my action.
I gulp and step forward.
"Wait! Katharina is my new female fighter, he can't join the competition." Alpha Duren said while holding my arm.
I feel weird though. It feels like I dislike it so much.
A low growl came from the King and suddenly my eyes find his. A shiver runs through my body. The way he looks at alpha Duren sends chills to my bones.
"Are you disobeying me Duren?" I sense the authority in his question. Even Alpha Duren shakes a little bit in his tone of voice.
"No, my King, but Katharina is my-----" He said but before he can finish his sentence King Zeus is now holding his neck.
"If I said she will compete, she will understand?" He said emphasizing every word.
"Yes, my King." Alpha Duren said.
I pity him for what King Zeus did to him. But what actually he will say? I am his what?
"Alpha Duren it will be fine, surely I will be eliminated early so no need to worry." I reassure him.
"Okay, be careful there Katharina and come back here again okay?" He said holding my hands.
I'm confused in his actions.
"LET’S GO!!!" The King shouted.
"Wait, do we need to pack for our things first?" I ask the King and regret it when I saw him turn around look at me like I'm his prey.
"I don't need your rags in my kingdom. We have a lot of clothes there, so hop in the car or I'll do it myself and throw you there right now." He said.
"S-sure my King. I don't mean to offend you." Looking in the ground I said.
He leaves me with no words.
"You need to keep that mouth shut if I were you." The blond girl said.
"Yeah you're right. What's your name?" I ask.
"Ruby and you are Katharina." She said.
"Yes I am." I said.
We ride in the car quietly until we fell asleep immediately since it's too early.
