GIVE ME A SON

Just as Allen was leaving Alexa's chamber, a guard stopped him and told him The Alpha had requested his presence.

He sighed and made his way towards Valle's chamber.

"Don't just stand there. Let it out. Who told you this thing?" Valle asked, his voice tinged with curiosity and frustration.

"The clan's wizard," Allen blurted out quickly, sensing his brother's impatience.

Valle couldn't help but chuckle, a bit bitterly. "That foolish man? How many times have I told, no, warned you not to put your trust in that madman? He's not wise!"

Allen let out a sigh, his voice trembling slightly. "Our father was involved with a widow a long time ago. He exiled her to protect his secret, and she placed a curse on him. That same curse now hangs over you."

Valle's laughter faded, replaced by a sense of seriousness. This was no joke or prank. How could he be suffering for his father's mistakes, especially when he despised his father so much?

Rubbing his beard thoughtfully, Valle pondered the implications of this revelation. He turned his gaze back to Allen, searching for any sign of deceit. But Allen's eyes showed nothing but sincerity and worry.

"Let's pretend for a moment that I am truly cursed," Valle said, his voice firm.

"Cursed, for sure," Allen agreed.

Valle felt his anger rising again, his mind clouded with frustration from his own lack of knowledge. "And this widow, is she still alive?"

Allen shook his head. "Nope! We've searched for her. Found out she's dead."

Valle's frustration surged. "How the hell are we going to get solution for this if she's dead?!" he roared, the sound filling the room.

Frustration began to boil over for Allen as well. "Can't you see beyond your anger?!" he shouted, the veins on his forehead bulging. The Alpha King's rage was tangible, and Allen found himself caught in its grip as Valle grabbed him by the neck, lifting him off the ground.

"I am the Alpha! Your ruler! How dare you?!" Valle growled, his voice dripping with fury.

Struggling to speak, Allen gasped for air. "Alexa is your fated Luna, and now you have sent her away, thanks to your arrogance."

Valle's grip loosened, and he dropped Allen to the ground suddenly, his own strength abandoning him. Collapsing onto the marble floor, he felt as if a fog had lifted from his mind, allowing the clarity of realization to flood in. Memories resurfaced, memories of a night spent with Alexa, memories he had chosen to ignore and suppress.

"Sent her away? What do you mean?"

"She's gone. Left the palace and possibly all of wolfdom"

"You knew about this all along, and you didn't tell me," Valle whispered, his voice tinged with accusation.

"I didn't think it was necessary," Allen responded quietly, nursing his bruised throat. "I only wanted to help you."

"At least you could have told me she is my Luna. The clan's true Luna! Now I have lost her." The pain in Valle's voice was palpable, a mixture of regret and longing.

"No, you pushed her away," Allen countered, his tone harsh. "I believed that once the child was born, you could sacrifice her and break the curse. Then you could have Alexa all to yourself. Forever. But that chance is gone now, isn't it?"

Valle struggled to process everything he had just learned. Alexa. His Luna. He realized he no longer cared about the child; it was a girl, and therefore, useless to him. But his daughter held the key to breaking the curse, and if that was true, he needed to find them both.

"No matter where she runs, I will bring her back," Valle growled, determination etched in his voice. Allen chuckled, rising from the floor.

"Do not expect her to be the same," Allen warned, his voice filled with resignation.

Before Valle could respond, the door swung open, and Allen left the room, leaving the Alpha King alone with his thoughts.

******

Alexa slowly opened her eyes. She was met with a chilling scene. Blood surrounded her, staining the bed and the room. Panic surged through her as she frantically searched for her child, but the baby was nowhere to be seen. Confusion clouded her mind as she realized she was back in the delivery room, with the Alpha King standing over her. The stone walls showed signs of damage, letting in the icy wind that carried cold flakes like a frozen storm. Her heart raced as she called out for her daughter.

"Rahilla!" she cried out, voice filled with desperation, throwing herself at the door and pounding on it with all her might. She continued to strike the door until her hands were raw and her skin threatened to break. In that moment, mocking laughter filled the air, mingling with the smell of unfamiliar blood.

Suddenly, the Alpha King appeared from a dark corner of the room, his mouth moving as if chewing on something. Blood stained his jaws, holding the remains of a baby.

Her baby.

"I asked for a son," he taunted, turning away and consuming what was left of the child. Filled with fury, Alexa transformed into her wolf form, anger pushing her forward. Summoning all her strength, she leapt towards the Alpha King, determined to take him down.

"Alexa," a soft voice whispered, snapping her out of the nightmare. Slowly, she realized she had been dreaming, reliving the same horror that haunted her since she fled her clan. Shaking, she got up from bed and hurried to the cradle where her child peacefully slept, a smile on its face melting her fear, replaced by deep love and adoration.

Her child.

"Are you okay, Alexa?" the voice asked, bringing her back to the present. She turned to see Leonard, the human who had saved her and taken her in

Alexa had journeyed a long distance from her clan, surprised that she hadn't come across any rogue wolves on her way. She had expected them to be eager to kill the Alpha's heir who had banished them all. However, the expected confrontation never happened.

When the pains of childbirth became unbearable, Alexa fell to the icy ground, her body weakening from blood loss. It was at that moment that Leonard Pablo found her.

She was naked, bleeding, and pale, with her newborn baby beside her. Leonard, on a mission to uncover rumored microorganisms the US government was experimenting within Antarctica, stumbled upon her. His initial goal had been to create explosives to eliminate these potential threats before they spread.

"I should get your breakfast before it cools down," Leonard interrupted the silence as he left the room.

Looking around the room, Alexa marveled at the new world she was introduced to by Leonard. It was different from her life in the clan. While not superior, the human world intrigued her with its diversity.

For the first time in what felt like ages, Alexa felt a sense of calm. She closed her eyes, soaking in the fresh morning air - not as biting as the Arctic winds she was used to, but holding the promise of a new life in this human world.
