KING'S MATE 34. HIS PROXIMITY
AZALEA'S POVAs punishment, Reid and I are subjected to 15 hours of training, banned from sparing with any other person and 50 laps around the entire camp perimeter from 4 am every day.By the second day, my body can't get out of bed, sore on every side I turn to, I'm pretty sure my wounds are inflamed at the moment. But I can’t sleep in, or more punishment, I seem to be a magnet to it recently and Alpha Henry does not seem to run out of them. Cursing the Alpha once more in my mind I crawl out of bed for another morning of terror.Twenty laps in and my body begins to give up, my legs become too heavy to carry, everything I step on feels like glass. I look up to see Reid resting, he always finishes his laps before me, anger bubbles through me like fire. I grind my teeth together."If I reach south pole before you, five more laps." I suddenly hear beside me. I turn to catch Alpha Henry towering over me. I look up ahead to the south pole miles away, my thighs are burning, telling me to st
KING'S MATE 35. ROGUE ATTACK
AZALEA'S POV"What did you say?." He asks stepping closer. My heart begins to thunder again at his proximity. Its been doing that a lot lately.I frown trying to remember my exact words that might have tipped him off, I was just running my mouth without thinking, so the chances I said something to offend him are high."Defender of the weak?." I ask in a slow voice. He shakes his head, his frown softening a bit."No, no the other one….""Savior of all?.""Yes, that, where did you hear it?.""I don't know, I just thought of it." I rush out, his aura now chocking me - but in a good way."My dad used to say those words……" He stops talking for a while, as if in deep thoughts, then a small smile creeps to his face. "For a second, I thought I heard his voice." He says."What, what was he like?." I ask, feeling the urge to, even though it might bring my untimely demise. He had mentioned his father two times for me not to be curious. Alpha Henry tilts his head slowly that I didn't think he woul
KING'S MATE 36. IN BLOOM
AZALEA'S POVA loud gasp left my lips as I examined Lexa's right leg. A huge bite mark is obvious as well as the blue almost purple skin that surrounded it."Let me see." I hear Alpha Henry say. "Can you walk on it?." He asks. Lexa tries to stand up, but immediately falls to the ground.Lexa has her reservations about Alpha Henry, but unlike myself she prefers to avoid the scary man all together. So as he tries to reach for her defective leg, she cries out for me, scooting away from him. He looks up at me and bites his lip.The bite is much more than just decaying skin, and he can see that. The faster the access the situation, the best for her leg. Understanding his unspoken words, I hug Lexa and place a soft kiss on her head."He's just going to look at it." I whisper to her. And immediately he grabs the leg, I see her bone almost digging out of her skin. Hot tears fall from my eyes."Its broken!, Azzy its broken! He broke it." She cries."Don't worry, it will heal in a few days." He
KING'S MATE 37. GOOD BYES
HENRY'S POV She must think I'm an asshole. Maybe because I am. And also because I have to be fair, or at least try to be.Reid turned up with a black eye, so I didn't need to do anything but give him some more threats, like peeling his skin off and feeding it to mountain bears, squeezing out every drop of his blood to feed rogues.You know, the usual stuff and when I saw that he had paled, I let him go for the rest of the day. But then I had to punish both of them in front of all the other survivors so they know not to try such again.Nothing enforces a rule to a bunch of youngsters like a scapegoat.The nepo boy amazed me and handled his punishment rather well, unlike feisty over here. Huffing and struggling through the laps.I'm sure its harder because she thinks she didn't deserve it, but there was no excuse for almost ripping out his eye. Even if he attacked first. Ryder and I were perfectly present and ready to handle the situation if she had just learnt to control herself.Of co
KING'S MATE 38. A BEAST
HENRY'S POV"Psst." Harper, one of my guards on patrol nudges the other as feisty walks out of her tent once again. Baths have been reduced to once in two days because the regions are getting colder and we are finding less water bodies as we travel.At this point, I just want to be home in my own bed again. This journey has lasted a whole week and five days of pure disdain having to entertain a bunch of teenagers and children."There she goes again." He replies."Want to go watch?." Harper asks and my fists squeeze into a ball. Usually when everyone else bathes, all females go first, logically, then the men and finally children. Its common sense to not want to peek at them, we're in the middle of a freaking war. Romance should be the last thing on anyone's mind.I know that a lot of people are hooking up, some girls from Rocky mountains with boys from Blue ivy. But I can't penalize anyone, if its prohibited, they'd do it anyway and I'll have to keep dealing with punishing them every ti
KING'S MATE 39. A THREAT
HENRY'S POV"No, don't say that, you saved us, almost a hundred people." She says.Her words surprise me a little bit, because I was under the impression that she hated that they were being "saved" to Red Fire. In fact Lexa had on occasions mentioned that we were probably taking them to become slaves in Red Fire; mopping floors and cooking all day.It’s a laughable notion because Red Fire is a large pack and definitely self sufficient. We didn't need slaves, people had their jobs and did it remarkably well."Well, I have also killed hundreds of people." A very true fact."Sure there are a lot of rumors about you, and you are a complete pain in the neck, but you're not all that bad." She smiles."Like my mom would say, people give all sort of names to things they don't understand because they are scared of it." Her mother sounded like a very wise woman, I am beginning to understand why all three of them seem very much grounded than the others in the lot."The first time we met, you sav
KING'S MATE 40. ALL THAT
AZALEA'S POV"So you're in this position," His slow whispers tickling the hairs on my neck and ear. I nod, focusing on my breathing instead of the way my stomach plummet or the way my heart raced or the way a million sparks and goosebumps covers my skin each time he touches me. I wonder if becoming stronger is as easy as he said with my current distracted state. I shake out of my own thoughts and focus on the training at hand. Its just the two of us once again in the dark training ground. "My right arm around your neck and possibly a weapon to your head, what you do is you to take this your left arm and will angle out your elbow and make a fist then you take your right hand over that fist to make a really strong powerful jab to the side of the person.""Yeah I got it. So I do this?." I ask."When your opponent is monetarily disarmed, you grab his right arm that was around your neck and twist it all the way to his back." He said demonstrating slowly, till my right arm was touching my
KING'S MATE 41. A MOLE
HENRY'S POVI spent the better part of the night planning a new defense formation against the Rogue attack and the Black Lotus packs. It was difficult dealing with such inexperienced group of fighters unlike my seasoned soldiers, but it had to be done.And I am sure I have made it abundantly clear multiple times that everyone had a responsibility to keep themselves alive. I can not be every body's savior even if I wanted to.I sigh to myself again, recounting the night's troubles. Failing to detect the Rogue in time was definitely a problem, one I took full responsibility for. After all I was the alpha, but it made me question many things I thought I knew.I decided to forget sleep and do another lap round the entire camp to look for clues. I made my way back to the camp fire where Lexa had been attacked and sat for a while, beckoning on the help of my ancestors to at least find an answer or I would run mad.I was so close to giving up when I caught the whiff of something, - it was ver
