All Chapters of Tribute to the Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Vasilios emerged from his tent after an hour. Rhiannon was in deep sleep, and he hoped she would sleep through the change."Your Highness, I am sorry for the earlier intrusion, I heard the howl, congratulations on your mating, hope you get blessed with many pups." Beta Lucas said.Vasilios smiled at him," thanks Lucas, hopefully, she will experience her first turn soon."Rhiannon slept through the entire day. Her body burning with fever. Vasilios, rubbed her palm, as Lucas brought some more water. He had stripped her naked and she was sweating so badly, he contemplated simply ducking her in the lake.As the night approached, Rhiannon opened her eyes, her head felt like it weighed more than it should, but she forced herself to look up at Vasilios. He had a look of concern on her face. Rhiannon knew that the change was starting. She felt feverish and wanted to be out."I want to be out," she said.

Rhiannon looked at the stack of gowns on her bed, in the wardrobe, and few more which were being brought in by several omegas."All these have been sent by the queen?" She asked Emily."Yes, my lady," she responded.Gloria her omega, held out a purple gown with black trimmings. "My lady, this would be perfect for you. It will bring out your green eyes."The gown was indeed lovely, and quite bold for what she was used to. It had a deep V neckline to show off her cleavage and deep back which almost reached the small of her back. It was lined with semi-precious stones on the edges. It hugged her every curve with a slit on the side, to give a tantalising view of her legs when she would walk."I will wear it," Rhiannon said, instantly liking the dress."An excellent choice my lady, you will be the centre of attraction." Emily gushed."Well, that's the aim, isn't it?" Rhi

Rhiannon stiffened as she stared at the ring then back at Cedric's face.She was about to say something when they were approached by Helena. She was dressed in a golden off-shoulder dress which had a thigh-high slit on the side. She looked beautiful as always. Rhiannon didn't like the fact that Helena was taller than her."Ah! Helena, I am sure you have already met my daughter Helena, my lady." Cedric said.Rhiannon blinked and simply nodded."Well, I will leave you two here, I need to catch up with few people," he bowed and left Helena standing with Rhiannon.Helena appraised her through her heavy-lidded eyes then plucked a grape from the platter."You must be delighted with all this isn't it?" Helena said.Rhiannon didn't respond, she was still rattled by Cedric's totem ring."Vasilios won't stick around for long, once he is done with you he will

Vasilios hurried through the corridors, looking for his father. When werewolves party, they party hard, which was quite obvious from the drunken revelry going on in the ballroom, the courtyard, and pretty much everywhere in the castle. He was glad that his beta and the warriors were alert and doing their duties well. He sent a team of betas to score the forest for any new or unknown scent and rechecked the castle security.While he was busy supervising the security.He saw a pack of wolves running out into the courtyard going for a run in the woods, which would be followed by a chase and mating.He wished he could have joined one of those runs with Rhiannon. But that was only possible after she was formally initiated and coronated. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.He finally found a slightly drunk King Rendall in one of the gardens with Lady Stacy. Fortunately, doing nothing inappropriate.

As the morning broke, Rhiannon felt extremely sweaty and tired. She had barely slept the previous night. As they had made love, again and again, the previous night."I can't wait for tonight, love," Vasilios said grinning as he strolled out of his chamber.Despite Rhiannon's uneasy feeling the day passed quickly and the sun was soon setting.Rhiannon watched from the window as Vasilios and most of the male wolves ran into the forest.She had to follow them later, into the sacred area somewhere in the forest.Emily and her omegas had dressed her in an elaborate red robe. It was too glossy and decorated to be a nightdress. So she assumed this was ceremonial.She noticed almost everyone was dressed in a toga or wraparound kind of costumes.Emily again clarified it's easier to remove because everyone would be shifting.The air was crisp and cold when Rhiannon started for the circle.She fou

"Rhiannon," his soft voice called in her head, but the white wolf remained curled on the hard floor. They had been running all night. What else could they do? The King was dead in a challenge and the Alpha power had shifted to Elios right away. He was the rightful king now. The vampire attack ensures that nobody else remained to challenge him. Kill the heirs Vasilios and Arios. However, they had managed to escape with absolutely no idea how to deal with the aftermath.Vasilios had immediately felt the Alpha bond break with his father. As he lost his right to the throne, he could feel his Alpha link with others go away.He had refused to accept the authority of Elios, so technically, he along with Arios and Rhiannon were rough wolves.They had taken shelter in a cave, deep in the forest somewhere. To remain quick and ward of cold they had remained in their wolf form.The white wolf opened her eyes and loo

"Why is it being attacked?" Rhiannon asked.She could feel Vasilios's anger surging through him. His wolf howled an angry howl."I have never felt so helpless in my entire life. I am unable to protect my people." He said dejectedly"Maybe we can help them," Rhiannon said."How? Even as wolves we can not defeat an entire army," Vasilios replied in frustration. Then sprinted away from the cliff."Vasilios!" She shouted and ran after him."Let him go, Rhiannon," Arios said in her head, "leave him alone for some time." Rhiannon looked at the disappearing@ wolf forlornly. She wished she could do something for him. He had lost everything within hours. They had been hiding for a week, with barely any hope of getting back his rightful place.Several hours later the moon hung overhead, as Arios and Vasilios dragged their kills towards the firepit. Rhia

The Alpha of the roughs was the biggest man Rhiannon had ever seen.  With his 7 foot frame, he easily towered over Vasilios's 6" 3 height. Eric had red hair, beard and he was built like an ox.Alpha Eric observed the new arrivals, ever since he had taken over the roughs. He had ruled them with an iron fist. Most roughs were rebels and they needed discipline. They have hated the current ruling class of Arcadia. If word got out that the new arrivals were the Arcadian princes in exile.They would be ripped apart from within minutes.  "Never in my 40 years, I ever imagined being visited by the royalty," Eric said. They were sitting in his council room. It was cut into the rock just like the rest of the 'Enegup'. "I had no idea that your city Enegup was so big and so well maintained. How many wolves live here?" Vasilios asked casually. "About 20,000 including s

Rhiannon ran towards the centre of the clearing to Vasilios who was smiling broadly at her. His wounds were already closing up, thanks to their amazing healing power.Unabashed, she hugged him tightly. "Alpha Eric, are we to follow royalty now. The same leaders whom we despise?" One of the men shouted from the crowd. It was then Rhiannon noticed most of them were not happy. Some even looked furious. "We do not accept you as our Alpha, we will leave this city along with Alpha Eric." Another man responded. "Silence!" Vasilios said in his authoritative voice. Rhiannon knew it was the Alpha command as everyone went silent. "Eric will not leave the pack, he is staying," Vasilios announced and Eric nodded. Amidst the noise of shock and astonishment, Vasilios continued. "My dear citizens of Enegup, first of all, I apologise for your miser
