The Rogue Alpha’s Unexpected Mate Chapter 71

Zanian POV

I always thought that my death would be different. I never imagined dying and coming alive again. When I woke up I was confused for a few minutes. I didn’t know where I am or what happened let alone what day it is.

I stood up from under the tree I was laying and tool a walk. when I saw all the wolves sleeping on the grass it started coming back to me slowly. I kept walking around until I could remember everything and then I started searching for Chrystal and Julian. I inhaled deeply picking up their scents and followed it.

I saw her sleeping and she had a scowl on her face so I decided to kiss it away and left feather light kisses all along her exposed neck.

Eventually she stirred and opened her eyes. I smashed my lips to hers and I almost laughed at her reaction. She never froze when I kissed her before.

It took her a moment but when she realized it’s me I was no longer on top of her she was now on top of me and now she was showering my face with kisses. She literally kissed every inch of my face. When she was satisfied she straightened up and straddled my hips.

“I take it we won.” I said in a teasing tone tilting my head to the side looking at red patches with semi dried blood. Chrystal looked at me and said, “Eliza and Mario is dead” and she just shrugged her shoulders and added, “oh and I changed.” I saw the smirk on her face and raised a brow at her. “she became true royalty.” Julian said standing behind Chrystal with a huge smile on her face. I got up from the ground taking Chrystal with me and setting her down on her feet. I shook Julian’s hand and the second I let go his smile died and his fist connected with my jaw.

I didn’t even see that coming. “what the hell was that for?” I asked rubbing the spot glaring at Julian. “next time you want to die I will be happy to help with that and make sure you are dead permanently.” Julian said and narrowed his eyes at me. I stood there looking at him confused when Chrystal said, “Julian felt more pain when you died then I did.” I burst out laughing and looked at Julian, “so you felt pain and now I should feel pain?” I asked looking at Julian who just nodded his head at me. “next time she can kill you.” I said looking down at Chrystal with amused eyes. “how did you know it would work” I asked narrowing my eyes.

When I saw her looking down I knew this isn’t good but when she said, “I didn’t I had faith.” I almost passed out. I could feel the blood draining from my face.

I hid every emotion I was feeling and looked at her with a blank expression, “and what if I died for real?” I asked cringing at the mere thought of dying and never seeing Chrystal or our girls again. Chrystal burst out laughing and looked at me. “you should have seen your face.” She said and wiped non-existent tears from her face.

“this is not funny.” I said and crossed my arms over my chest and glared at her. I looked over at Julian and he just shrugged his shoulders.

“where is the girls?” I asked in a stern voice. She looked at me and said, “Eliza never had them so they are safe.” She gave me a reassuring smile and I heard yawns and groans from across the field as wolves started waking up.

I looked around the field and was met with a few curious eyes and gasps. Those who were sleeping are wide awake after seeing my standing form.

Whispers went around the field but when Chrystal looked at them everything went quiet.

I looked at her in amusement and I can’t wait to hear the story.

I walked over to Derek when I caught sight of him and he just stared at me with disbelief written all over his face.

“good morning council.” I greeted and smiled at them. Clarissa walked up to me and poked my chest. “this is amazing. I mean you are alive.” She said and stared at me until I became uncomfortable.

“magic of being marked by a fox.” I said and shrugged my shoulders.

“well you will make a great King and Chrystal will make every Queen in history look as though they were incompetent.” Derek said which made me stand up straight at his praise. I am a proud wolf but my pride will never get in the way of what is right and what is wrong, but I will accept a compliment when it’s due.

“we’ve got work to do.” Derek said and walked around me.

Third Person POV

Three hours later and they weren’t even close to being done. So far they have cleaned out half the castle and half the yard.

Chrystal divided the wolves into groups giving each group specific tasks. They found the underground bunker all the females ran to for safety and the weird thing was it was locked on the outside and when Zanian opened the heavy steel door he was met with a lot of very thankful and very scared faces. Woman and children were curled into corners because the space wasn’t even big enough to fit everyone in.

Zanian and Chrystal helped them all out and they bowed their heads to Chrystal out of respect. Even Zanian could feel the power rolling off her.

The children age 13 to 18 were to help in the castle and the boys were all sent outside to help the men.

“okay, I don’t even know what all this is.” Zanian said when he saw Chrystal coming into the office holding an old photo frame almost as big as she is.

Zanian walked over to her and asked, “what are you holding?”

She looked at him and said, “I wasn’t sure if you would keep it or throw it away, but I wanted you to make that choice.” Chrystal said and showed Zanian the photo.

Zanian took a step back and looked at the photo from corner to corner. It was a photo of Eliza, Mario, Odin and his mother Melissa. Zanian just stared at the photo for a long moment before he said, “we can hang it in the throne room. They might have been bad, but they are still my family.” Zanian said and Chrystal just nodded.

By six in the evening everyone was done and Eliza and Mario were completely erased from the kingdom grounds along with their bodies. Zanian didn’t know what to do with them and he eventually just decided to bury them next to the son they killed. They didn’t have a royal burial just a normal one.

Zanian and Chrystal finally fell down on the grass from exhaustion and just laid there for a few minutes.

There is no furniture left in the castle so everything will have to be bought new and they will need a professional interior designer.

“this time tomorrow we will be home.” Chrystal said looking at Zanian. She looked at him for a second and he could see that she is thinking and then she looked at his neck and realised his mark is fading.

Chrystal jumped to her feet and said, “I will be right back.” and she ran off.

Chrystal POV

I’m exhausted I thought as we carried the last things out setting it on the burn pile. I dusted my hands off and looked around. Everything looks even better. I mean even the grass looks greener and happier. I laughed at my own thoughts while walking back into the castle.

Now it’s clean up time. I found buckets, mops and brooms and a pile of cloths. Taking everything out and putting it down I went back to find soap.

Forming groups each of us chose a part of the castle and worked to the centre.

A young girl approached me with her head lowered and said, “you are really pretty my queen.” She said and I put my hand on her shoulder. “what is your name?” I asked making her look up at me startled.

“I’m sandy.” She said and I notice her eyes are one light green and the other dark green.

“well Sandy I’m Chrystal and I’m not your Queen yet so you can call me C. is that okay with you?” I asked and saw her smiling.

She nodded her head and I asked, “where is your parents?” I saw sadness cross her face and I instantly felt bad, “they left and never came back I’ve been waiting for five years.”

“how old are you honey?” I asked looking at her with sadness of my own.

“I will be sixteen in two weeks.” She said and smiled brightly.

“would you like to be a part of my family?” I asked her watching as her eyes began to tear. She nodded her head and I pulled her into a hug.

The rest of the day went by fast. I learned that she was made an omega because her parents never came back and like me she was the punching bag and spent most of her days locked in a cell. Half the time she didn’t even know why.

My heart went out to her and so did Raven’s. ‘since Raven and Roxy became one I don’t feel the need to keep both names so I just kept the name Raven and she is happy with it.’

As soon as my back hit the soft grass I let out a moan. I have forgotten what it feels like to clean from top to bottom and now I’m done for.

I laid next to Zanian and said, “this time tomorrow we will be home.” And I turned my head to look at him. he didn’t turn his head instead he kept looking at the darkening sky and my eyes landed on his mark. The one which I gave him and it’s fading. I took a closer look as I jumped up and I was right, it is fading. ‘why would his mark be fading?’ I asked myself as I ran towards the castle in search of a mirror.

*Would you please calm down?* Raven said.

“why is his mark fading?” I asked looking in the mirror seeing that mine too is fading.

“what is happening?” I asked looking at my mark in horror.

*you changed and so will he and so is your marks.*

“what do you mean?” I asked feeling confused.

*you ascended Zanian still needs to and he can only do that when he fully accepts his position as king and because you have two mates you will need to mark each other again, but this time together. Meaning you need to mark Zanian and Julian together and they need to mark you. And when that is done you will share the power, power stronger than has ever been known to a royal. Because of your mark they will ascend into true royals just like you.*

“I don’t even know what that means.” I said honestly.

*you will understand everything when you look into your history Chrystal, because we are descendants of the first fox King and Queen that has ever ruled. That is why you are a different colour than most foxes and why you have more abilities.* Raven said and I just stood there shocked. I looked at myself in the mirror and watch as my eyes changed from their normal blue. My iris’s is a deep purple and my pupils are a deep shimmering gold revealing my true self. As I stand there looking at myself I cannot believe what I’m seeing.

I gasped at my own reflection and stared in amazement.

*embrace who you have become and forget who you were.* was the only advice Raven gave me before my eyes changed back to normal.
