"I assigned you to a simple job, and you did this?" Cedric was furious at the out turn of events.
"It's not my fault, she survived, but she must have had someone who protected her"
"What do you mean?" Cedric was perplexed.
"It might be a guard who protected her, I knew she left the room. I suspected she would be hiding in the hallway since she left her chambers. She wasn't there" Cedric aligned his thoughts with the guard's result.
"You mean she had help" Cedric chuckles,
"Yes, and it could have been from anyone" Cedric hated that there was no way the guard could justify his failure.
"Alex my brother?"
"I don't really know" he divulged,
"Guards!!!" Cedric hates failures, he's filled with so much regret that he has to punish one of his valiant men to prove his point.
"Take him to the dungeons, I'll teach you a lesson" Cedric cackles as Sabrina interrupted him wondering why Cedric decided to punish him.
"He's a failure, I trusted him so much, but he stole a large amount of money from the pack's treasury" Cedric lied, trying to make Sabrina feel she made the right decision-making him the Alpha.
"Supporting him with ideas would mean a lot to him," Sabrina thought as she suggested,
"The Elders deserve to know about this"
"They're too old to be involved in matters I can handle with the snap of my fingers" Cedric retorted instantly.
"I could execute him right here in your presence and no one would dare say a word to me about it" he added.
"I know all that Cedric, but you have to be cautious. These are delicate matters and the Elders haven't accepted you yet. This might be the wrong way" Sabrina stood on her words this sprouted Cedric's anger.
"Are you raving mad?"
"Are you doubting my capabilities? What's gotten into you? You don't even deserve to say a word over what I do" Cedric clenched fists, he heaved a deep sigh as he controlled his anger.
"Remember I made you who you are today" Sabrina stutters, stepping backwards.
"And I'm living up to my expectations so don't belittle me" Cedric hissed and sauntered away into the building, Sabrina knew she has to beg for his forgiveness since she got him pissed.
"I can't wait to hear the news of your demise" Cedric chortled as he slammed the door to his chambers.
"Oh brother, it's so unfortunate that you haven't noticed the reluctance of your soldiers. You wouldn't even win a battle with these weaklings" Cedric heard his brother speak as he turned to stare at him.
"That's my decision and not yours,"
"You don't speak when I'm speaking ingrate" Alex growled as Cedric got scared knowing how evil and ruthless Alex could get if he's interrupted.
"You need to let the strong rule, make the announcement. I need to be addressed as Alpha of this pack, I don't have interest in your Luna, I can always find a lady to fit that position" Alex stood an inch away from Cedric.
"Why are you here Alex?" The forlorn look on Cedric's face amused Alex as he patted his shoulders,
"Here to put you on the right path. I don't want you to make the wrong decision and lose everything, make the right decision and I can think of making you my Beta second in command" Alex cackles as Cedric tripped, and landed on the ottoman, he stared into Alex's eyes and bashful smile.
"You have little time to make this decision, or you'll force me to take everything and I will leave you with nothing, I'll take her as well" Alex slammed the door as Cedric growled in anger picking up the flower vase beside his bed, and slammed it on the ground. He hated the fact that his brother wanted to take away everything from him.
"I would give that soldier a second chance to make things right, if he fails I'll kill him and then kill Alex and Sabrina myself" Cedric's mood changed as he trudged to the balcony staring at the people, his people,e and the Kingdom at large.
"I would never lose this to my brother, over my head and body" He affirmed his words as he filled the cup in his hands with wine and downed it all at once still pissed, he slammed the cup against the wall.
Meanwhile, Sabrina pondered over Cedric's act, she was scared that she could make Cedric do something that'll affect their relationship and the Kingdom at large.
"Hey Mistress" Alex kissed Sabrina on her cheeks playfully. Sabrina shivered as she realized Alex's presence. She checked thrice for anyone who might have seen him kiss her cheeks.
"This is wrong what if someone sees us?" Sabrina admonished, wearing an agitated look on her face.
"Cedric's in his chambers, Cedric aside is there's anyone you're scared of within these walls?… do you have another lover aside from Cedric?" Alex joked around, not minding kissing Luna in the living room.
"I wish someone would see me kissing you… It would be fun" Alex mutters to himself as Sabrina turned to stare at him.
"What are you doing here?" Sabrina inquires,
"I want to stroll around my kingdom, do you mind giving me a tour of my kingdom?" Alex chuckles, loving how he controlled everyone.
"What happens if I don't?"
"You can't refuse this, what happens when Cedric finds out that you lost your precious virginity to me?" These words scared Sabrina as she held his hands and proceeded out of the mansion.
"Let's use the Convoy, that way I get to send my greetings to my subjects" Alex was too demanding and Sabrina felt so guilty doing this, but she had no choice and for the love she had for Cedric she wouldn't want to risk a divorce.
"You're a truckload of evil"
"I can't help it that's how I'm built. I take what's mine, no matter how impossible it is" Alex divulged as he ordered,
"Guards get the convoy ready" Alex ordered as the sounds of the SUVs pulling out of the garage got Cedric warmed up as he rushed to the courtyard.
"What are you doing Alex?" He roared.
"A tour in my kingdom isn't what you would oppose, is it?"
