My Secret Mate

Chapter One

Eldon's POV (EJ)

I walk down the halls leading to the court room where a meeting was about to take place. I wonder what the old guys want to talk to me about. I look down at my wrist watch and I see I'm running a bit late than scheduled time. It's an hour after lunch which was at 12:00pm. I hope they don't mind their king is a bit late joining them. A king is never late anyway, he's always on time.

I reach the doors and guards standing there open the door for us, me and Liam, my personal adviser. He was my mother's personal guard back when he was young but now he's a bit older to be a guard though I know the old man can still pack a punch.

I walk inside the room and they all stand up, greeting me while bowing. I take my sit in the higher front where I can see them all perfectly. They sit after I've done so and the meeting begins.

"Alpha of Alphas, I humbly greet you." I nod at him, Conrad Harris, the leader of the group gathered around here, the councillors. It mostly consist of former Alphas who are retired and their heirs took over the position.
"The reason we are all gathered here is about the Queen."

I sigh when I hear the reason of the meeting. It had to be about her, what else would it be about? Lately, she's all they talk about and not just them, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole kingdom talks about her. She's Queen after all, the King's consort, my one and only mate, Luna of the Kahuna pack.

"What about her?"

"You see Alpha, she has been violating the rules and laws of this land for a long time now. We couldn't just sit down and watch anymore." He explains and I give him my hard face. I know my mate can be delusional but violating rules, that's a bog accusation right?

"You have to explain more than that so that I can know what you're talking about." I tell him and he bows, signalling for another to stand up and explain. I nod at their greeting, wishing this goes by fast.

"An alpha has responsibilities to his people. Thank you for managing all your responsibilities." He pauses as he turns a page of the folder he's holding. "However, a Luna has her own responsibilities to the people of the pack and as Queen, to the kingdom. It has come to our attention that the Queen has been doing nothing of what is expected of her." He says and bows as another stand when he sits down. He says his greetings as well and I nod for him to continue.

"Alpha, I hope you know the duties of a Luna to the kingdom. What is expected of her, is the opposite of what is happening."He stops, receiving a paper from his friend and then continues. "Do you know how many people she has fired from working in the palace, these years that she became Queen? With just one small error, she fires them and cast them out of the palace. These poor people that work in the palace, are being fired and cast them on the streets to starve to death, others now have started stealing in order to survive. Our orphanage had a few children but now it is full with little resources to look after them. All these are the duties of the Queen, that she had to look after and end all the problems, but because she gives a blind eye, people are suffering."

They explains many more and after giving me there reports, I dismiss them with a promise to work out this problem. I sit in my office with my head in my hands as I think about all I heard today. Are there really people suffering, dying because of my mate's doings? No matter how I think about it, I still can't believe that this is real.

"Perhaps you should check the Queen's office. If there is a problem, reports are sent either to this office or hers. Since we've never received any of those reports, she must have them in her office." Liam suggest and I agree with him as I get up and walk out of my office.

I approach the doors the doors to the office but stop first and look around. No guards are present at this place which is something that is not supposed to be when the Queen is in the office. It was something past three in the afternoon and she had to still be in the office. I open the door and find her secretary seated on her sit and working on what I assume must be the Queen's work. I clear my throat since she seemed to be into whatever she was looking at.
