Zaccheus POV

The King cradled his unconscious mate in his arms, shouting orders to his startled subjects, "get Avivit."

The subjects were cowering away, afraid of the King's temper.

The King carried his mate to his room with lightning speed. "Where is she?" He growled, tucking her under the duvet.

His patience was running thin.

Where is the god-damned beta-female? He thought angrily.

The King noticed her body was freezing up and rubbed his hands with hers to warm it up.

"Yes, my king." the healer bowed meekly.

"Stand." he grunted, "make sure you heal her, and nothing must happen to her," he said gruffly as he kissed his mate's forehead and stood up.

The healer walked to the unconscious girl and touched her forehead. Upon touching it, she detached her hand quickly while a gasp escaped her lips. She panicked and knelt on the floor, "forgive me, my King." her voice wavered lightly, then she continued, "I don't feel any energy from her or feel her soul. It is like her soul has detached from her body." she blurted out. At the same time, tears streamed down; she waited for the King to lash out or strangled her neck but found nothing.

The King stood still, trying to calm his breath through his mouth; his beasts wanted to come out. He shook his head and clenched his fist. "Do anything to make her alive." his voice was more profound and grime. He was not the one talking any longer. It was his beasts. "Or your whole generation will be erased from history, and I won't think because you are the beta-female," he said apathetically while she nodded frantically.

"Can you please step out." she stuttered.

He scrutinized his eyes while she gulped, "why?" he questioned, his voice back.

"We need to bathe her." he looked at her skeptically before she continued, "so that I will know where to start," she added quickly.

"Okay," he said gruffly, then walked out with his hands at his back.

The workers heard the door open. They went hidden, afraid of him venting his frustration at them, not wanting to face their King.

He paced around while his beta followed him. He sat on his throne while messaging his temple to ease the forming headache. His beasts were restless because it had been three hours since he had been sent out, and they needed to be assured she was okay.

"What?!" he said irritatedly, "why are you following me?" he growled.

The beta cowered away while bowing. This was not his friend, it was his beasts, and they deemed a submission.

"Nothing, my King," he said while following him.

"Stop lurking around," he commanded; the beta stood still.

"My King," Avivita called.

"What happened? is she okay?..." He rambled nervously, afraid of what she would say.

"I called her soul back, but sir, you will need to be gentle with her. She is a fragile human," she said softly.

"Are you lecturing me?" He growled, feeling annoyed.

"No" she screamed with widened eyes.

"Then?"

"It just that..." she paused, " when we were bathing for her, I noticed some scars on her body and some burnt scars like cigarette ash on her body." she glanced at the King before she said what could make the King to exploded.

"She was abused."

"Who dares to abuse her?" he snarled, making all the glasses shatter. Thunder was striking. The castle was eerie silent because they knew the thunder would strike if the King were angry.

"Where is she?" he said while trying to control his anger and beasts. They wanted to escape and destroy everything but needed to see their mate.

"She is in the room sleeping," the healer said. When the King strode away to meet his mate, the healer sighed; thanked the goddess for not letting the King destroy anything. And she ran to her mate for comfort.

The King entered the room and sat beside his sleeping mate; he stroked her hair.

"αγάπη μου, please wake up," he said softly, touching her hands while kissing them. (my love)

"Will she wakes up?" - his wolf -Ryl whimpered while dropping his ears.

"She will wake up." his vampire - Ryk, replied with a bit of clarity.

"Will she love us when she wakes up?" Ryl asked fearfully, afraid of being rejected. Since they were kids, they had been ignored by everyone except their mother.

"Hey! stop thinking like that! she will learn to love us, and if she doesn't, we will chain her and mark her." his demon- Ryn, growled at Ryl, shutting him up.

"Shut up, all of you! You are giving me a headache." the King scowled at his beasts while Ryn rolled its eyes as Ryk and Ryl whimpered.

The King felt his unconscious mate jerk, holding him tightly while thrashing and murmuring some words, "don't leave me."

"I will not even dream of it καρδιά μου," he kissed her hands that were holding him. (My heartbeat)

As he stroked her hair, he felt her breathing change to routine. She sighed in contentment while she snuggled close to him.

"What is her eyes' color, favorite food, or favorite place to go? Will she prefer mango or apple? Or...," Ryn cut off Ryl's rambling.

"Please, where is the alpha king? please don't tell me he already softens." Ryn mocked while Ryk shook his head amusingly.

"What! can't I imagine, my mate?" Ryl said defensively.

"Do you know what I imagined?" Ryk licked his lips sensually.

"How her sound will be when I'm pleasuring her..." he grinned.

"Ewwww, you are disgusting." Ryl scrunched his nose.

"Both of you are fools," Ryn said while Ryl stuck his tongue out.

"Can three of you stop bickering!" the King growled.

"Don't tell me you too. Don't imagine how you pleasure her." Ryk wiggled his brows while Ryl and Ryn chuckled loudly.

"Shut up!" the King grumbled before smiling. But his little amusement vanished when he heard a cough.

The King patted his mate's chest softly before she released a loud gasp.

He stared at her chocolate orbs filled with fear before she released a loud shrill. The King gawked at his mate's eyes; the King couldn't fathom the wave of happiness that washed over him.
