Chapter fifty nine: Balm.
Max felt the connection with Alexander a few more minutes after he left Jamie by the garden.
"I can see everything you see. I can hear everything you hear, Max. It's like we are the same" Alexander spoke to his wolf.
"It's been an honor running with you, old friend. But I have to get to the dead zone and be with our pack"
Max took off in a run towards the dead zone.
"It's been indeed an honor, my wolf" Alexander could feel himself beginning to slip away but he had one question "How did you meet my Queen?"
It was highly unlikely that Janessa was roaming the forest at night...well, Alexander wouldn't put it pass her.
"We've met before when...."
Alexander faded out before Max could complete his sentence.
"Alexander! Alexander!" Max felt alone again. He took off and in mere minutes he was in the dead zone surrounded by his pack.
"Alpha Max! Alpha Max" it felt good to meet all of them in person. Max knew what do to without guidance. It was the running ritual, where the Alpha and his pack run to the point of exhaustion. It helps in bonding.
Semeen was happy to see Alpha Max. Her pack had adjusted well enough to the dead zone. The name might be scary but it was a place she saw herself calling home. It was on a mountain that looked over twin valleys with rivers and tall western trees. There were no shortage of hunting ground and most importantly it was peaceful.
"Alpha Max...you made it!" Semeen spoke through their mind link.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Alpha Luna"
Semeen took a step back.
"You are not Alexander, the wolf king!"
Semeen wondered who was posing as the Wolf King.
"I am Maximus. I am Alexander's wolf"
"Why can't I sense him?" Semeen asked him.
"My human side is in here somewhere. It's a long story, Alpha Luna and I have no zeal whatsoever to tell it" Max was blunt. He was Alpha. No one dares question him.
"I think you are brave. It takes an incredible amount of grace from the moon goddess for a wolf to keep both himself and his human alive while he is in limbo"
Alpha Max heard the voice in his head. He had no idea who it was. He needed to get a hang of how the mind link works.
"Who is that? Identify yourself at once" Max ordered.
"She is my wolf and she is happy to meet her king" Semeen bowed to him.
The running ritual lasted for hours. Max felt free and he had wished Alexander was with him.
Before sunset he returned to Aradale. Alexander had clothes hidden all over the king's forest and when he woke up stark naked near the oak tree, he grabbed one of the stash and dressed up.
After taking a long bathe and changing into something more appropriate, King Alexander made his way to his Queen's room. He was excited to see her. She was the reason he experienced something he never thought he would experience. He was eager to spend some more time with her.
Alexander opened the door to find Janessa with a scowl and raining threats.
"Get lost, his Highness. This Queen doesn't want to see you"
Jamie turned her back to him. Alexander couldn't remember what was making her mad at him. But he had a good night and all he wanted to do was tell his Queen about it.
"Can't you pretend to be happy to see me, Janessa? Is that too much to ask of my wife?"
"Just leave, Alexander!" Jamie refused to look at him.
"I had a good night. I was so happy this morning and the first person I wanted to see was you, Monisha. What did I do wrong?"
Alexander was puzzled. Jamie turned and looked at him. He didn't even remember. It was like a big blow.
"You didn't do anything. I have a meeting with the Queen's advisor in a few minutes. I want to be left alone, his Highness" Jamie bowed dutifully.
Alexander had no idea what he did wrong. He simply turned to walk out when he noticed for the first time the scented candles all over the floor. It dawned on him, he had set an appointment and he didn't even show up.
"Bollocks! Jamie, I am sorry" Alexander was quick to apologize to Jamie. He even went as far as shortening her name.
"What are you sorry for?" Jamie faced him.
"You waited for me last night, didn't you?" Alexander moved closer to touch but she took a step back.
"I didn't" Jamie lied instead.
"I am sorry. We can do that tonight" Alexander suggested instead.
"Where were you last night?"
Alexander couldn't answer that without lying to his Queen and he was no liar. He simply kept mute.
"It is fine, his Highness. I didn't remember that you set an appointment too. I didn't have my chambers lighted with scented candles and wore my best night dress or receive a lecture from Megan on how horrible my first time and basically love making would be. I didn't wake up this morning hesitating to leave my chambers because my subject would see me as the Queen that couldn't keep the king's attention for one night!" Jamie had no idea she was yelling until the last word left her mouth.
Why was she taking it personally? It wasn't like she was in love with him. Jamie concluded that she was angry because he had humiliated her and now every woman in the castle knew about it.
"Janessa" Alexander came closer. He refused to step back.
"Stay back, Alex!"
Alexander kept coming closer to her. Jamie picked the scissors on the table and pointed it at Alexander.
"Take a step, Milord and I shall stab you with this blasted object!"
Jamie was serious. Alexander stopped. He knew it now. He had hurt her and there was no taking it back. He had embarrassed his Queen. He knew the stigma that came with a husband not showing up on a wife's invitation to her bed. It ruins a woman's reputation and Janessa wasn't just any woman. She was Queen, a mid-knight and a Luna.
Alexander crossed a line.
