LINKED TO THE KING

*Isla*

The village is exactly how I’ve imagined it in my mind, though it is also nothing like my hometown. The main village for Willow pack is called Ernestown. It was changed a few years ago when Alpha Ernest became Alpha. Before that, it was just called Willow Village. I guess our Alpha wants everyone to know who the boss is in our pack lands….

Our village is rundown and full of factories. The sky is always hazy, and it’s hard to see the blue through all of the gray that hangs over the city from the chemicals filling the sky from the various plants that make all kinds of cheap goods to ship to other parts of the kingdom. Most of the people who live in our town are either middle class or poor, like my family, and it’s rare to see a car because most of us can’t afford them, let alone other luxuries.

But here in the heart of the kingdom, the village, called Wolfcrest, is lively and full of color. The buildings are all freshly painted in vibrant hues, and there are plants and flowers everywhere. The sky above us is a bright azure blue, and the road is well maintained. The sidewalks are made of cobblestone, but they are smooth, and as the four of us walk along, I can’t help but smile.

“This is so quaint!” I tell Poppy.

“I know. I thought you’d like it. There are all kinds of shops for us to go into. We can buy some new clothes if you want or some jewelry!”

“I have plenty of that stuff,” I remind her. “But I would like to get a gift for King Maddox.”

Poppy turns to look at me, and her eyes bulge slightly. “A gift? For the king?” she clarifies. “Why?”

I am taken aback. “What do you mean? I care about him, so I’d like to get him a gift. To thank him for his kindness.”

Poppy’s grin widens. “Does someone have a little crush on the king?”

I feel my face flush and look around. The two guards are several steps behind us. Private Parker is pretending not to listen, staring out at the road while Private Wylie is smiling mischievously at me. I know he’s eavesdropping.

“Listen, Poppy,” I say, turning back to my maid—or friend—or whatever she is, “I would just like to get the king a gift, that’s all.”

“All right,” she says with a shrug. “But what in the world do you get a man who has everything he could possibly ever want or need?”

It’s a good question, and I don’t have an answer for her, but I have a feeling that I will recognize the best gift when I see it.

“We need to get that chocolate for Mrs. Dixon, too,” she reminds me.

“Oh, yes, that’s right.” I don’t want to forget to get her a gift so she’ll come down and unlock my armoire. “We should probably get that last, though, in case it’s a warm spring day. I don’t want the chocolate to melt while we are walking around.
