Chapter 77
Philip pov
Laying in my bed trying to think of anything other than that stupid princess. Being here in my suite is the only place my wolf seems to calm down. Maybe I just need a nap then I will head out and start training with the warriors and see what the tops think we need to improve on. Today I will give them freedom tomorrow we start preparing for war. My door slams open breaking me from my thoughts. Jumping up ready to fight whoever dear when I see Ambrose dragging Tyler who looks to have seen better days behind him.
“We have a problem young alpha. The young Tyler has been spelled to send you a message and I beg you to listen to it. As for you..” turning to look at Tyler “only the message nothing else do you hear me?” gulping Ty nods making me wonder what else he might have said. “well get on with it child we don’t have time do we?” Ambrose huffs out something about his stance has me wanting to question it when Ty says the last thing ever thought I would hear. “the rogue king says the only way to win this is to work with him…” “so you better accept the meeting young man I believe all you have to say is you agree to do so now.” Ambrose cuts off Ty. Looking into Ty's eyes I can see the pleading so I nod. “no you have to say it.” Ambrose turns to glare at me. “fine. Yes, I will agree to meet with this rogue king.” I barely got the words out of my mouth when my phone rang. Looking at the screen blank. Odd. So I answer it a deep raspy mechanical voice says “two hours be at the place alpha William almost lost it all.” then the line died.
Looking at my phone before I look back at them just in time to see Ty glowing some odd colors. A large black ball just hovers over Ty. Ambrose starts walking around Ty humming as he studies the black ball “hmm. Well it looks like it's the curse manifested. I wonder” he reaches out yanking his hand back fast “shhhhiiii… nope no touchy got it. Well, I can still see it's got a hold in you so looks like it's a show of good faith so let's go shall we.” Ambrose starts for the door when Ty drops to the ground groaning Ambrose rushes back to him and the groaning stops. “oh that was sneaky I should have.. well looks like Ty is tied to the spot he was when you accepted to meet with the rogue king and somehow it's tied itself to me if I go too far from the young Tyler it causes him pain. Looks like you're going alone young alpha. Do be careful.” Ambrose says as he waves me off. Sighing I take my shirt off and stuff it in a bag while storming out of my room. Grabbing a few snacks as I have no idea how long I will actually have to wait once there and I always get hungry and thirsty when I get to the cave. Something about this cave gives me warm fuzzy feelings and creeped-out vibes that I rarely come here. My grandfather almost lost his life inside this cave when my grandmother wanted to reject him.
Leaving the house and heading west to the cave of the lost as I like to call it. Finding the entrance I climb in and find the long flat stone there that serves as a bench and take a seat and wait for this rogue king. Leaning my head against the stone wall I close my eyes just listening to the sounds around me. The feelings I feel while in here when all of a sudden all sounds and feelings stop. Snapping my eyes open I see a silver shimmer the size of an average bathroom mirror form in front of me. Standing to look at it better I only see myself. Fighting the urge to touch it the image shifts to a black smoke about the same size as me. Shifting in the air two bright red eyes appear to be staring straight through me. “well lucky for your beta and his mate you are a man of your word. I will release them after this fight with the winters is over and I have claimed my fee for helping you. You can not break your word as you know but to add to it should you break your word your mate will become my mate and you will be mateless with no heir making you the death of the black rose pack. Do you understand?” that same voice from the phone call. Staring at the red eyes I remember what orange-eyed Ambrose said trust the eyes in the silver or something deciding this is what it meant I nod. “speak up boy” “I will agree to your terms to save my pack and my friend what do you want?” I sneer out “do you give your word to pay my fee?” he asks growing annoyed I huff out a yes. The cave door slams shut and I feel mind links being blocked by the pain in my chest as several bonds are broken. Shifting through they are all young wolves who just turned recently. “okay so five young men ten young females and twenty infants. You have paid the price my men will be at your border tomorrow night they will have a bracelet for you to put on that will allow you to control them. When it's over the bracelet will break and my men will return. You will not search for the pups I took until tomorrow young alpha glad we could do business.” and the silver block pops out of sight. Dropping to the ground my chest was tight with pain. What have I done?
