Chapter 5: The Prophecy

The wind blew over Mia’s face and her paws dug into the ground as she sprinted through the woods. The dry leaves on the ground made a shrieking sound as her paws threaded on them. Blood coursed through her veins, and her heart hammered loudly. She felt alive more than ever.

She and the king had detached themselves from the pack of wolves that had shifted and raced into the woods after howling and hunting together.

She was much aware of her environment. She had run through these paths after shifting in the last few summers along with her mate, king Xavier. Just like those other times, he was racing beside her and every time with him felt like the first time to her.

Excitement rushed through her and she could hear his sprinting heartbeat and it matched hers as they raced toward the much quieter and desolate part of the woods.

She was almost at the first part of the segregated point of the woods when Xavier bumped into her and she slowed down, knowing what was about to take place. She turned to him, his eyes glowing, but she could see the lust in them as they beheld her.

Shivers ran through her as her stomach tightened, anticipating what they were about to do.

They stopped running once in the quiet part filled with tall pine trees. This was where they normally completed their shifts and sometimes they burned with lust until the morning. There were provisions of clothes to change into once they finished shifting. Sometimes they had food because the shift and the activities they engaged in would drain the energy that they would need to eat and regain their strength immediately after shifting into their human form. Once, they had enough provision, and they stayed there for an extra day before going back to the palace.

Xavier nudged his head against her, communicating to her his need for her, which she already picked up on half an hour ago.

He licked over her face a few times before moving behind her and sniffing her out. She was ready for him. She had been since he pinned her against the wall and took her a day ago while his brother and father waited for them in the palace. She wanted him to finish what he started and take control of her. But she could barely hold herself up with the many emotions rushing through her and she shifted back into her human form and on all fours.

Despite her shift, Xavier didn’t stop sniffing her.

“Xavier,” she called out. She was filled with desires more than anything else.

He placed his hands on her back. “Mia,” he drew out before leaning in and kissing her back.

Mia didn’t need to look to know he had shifted into his human form and she arched into him. She wanted him to take her and drag her to the point of ecstasy. She wanted to writhe and ache under him from fullness and abandon. He alone could do that.

She lay on his chest, playing with the few hairs there while listening to the steady beating of his heart as they stared at the sky.

“I’d never change this for anything else. I’d never change you for anything else,” she mumbled and leaned in to place tender kisses on his chest.

“Me too, my love,” he answered, moving his hand to stroke the left side of her face, and she tingled at his touch.

“We should stay here forever.”

“I have no complaint, but the last time we spent a day, you nagged us to go back. I don’t think you are equipped to abandon the kingdom duties in pursuit of pleasure just yet.” he chuckled.

She scrunched her nose up, not loving his fun at her expense. “We will be married in two days. We might need to leave for our honeymoon, which means I will leave for pleasure pursuit.”

“Yes, you will.” he didn’t argue with her.

Mia got dressed and ready for the Maiden’s court meeting. This would be her last meeting with the court before her marriage. From what the king told her, she would leave with him to a place called the ‘honeymoon’, and they hoped to spend at least two weeks there.

The Maidens also know about her marriage plans as the news had gone far and wide and they supported her. In their words, she’d done a lot and deserved to enjoy and be happy, even if it was a day.

She hoped to seize every moment of this opportunity. She looked forward to having her husband to herself all day without the worry of title or palace or duties. She wanted to wake up at sunset and sleep at sunrise, and perhaps the next two weeks would give her that.

Since the announcement of her marriage to the alpha king, she had received gifts and wishing notes. It felt like she was getting married for the first time, even though she wasn’t.

Those around her made her feel like she was.

She glanced at herself once more before leaving her room. She made a turn in the hall that led to the outer part of the palace when someone grabbed her by the hand and pulled her into the corner.

Her heart skipped, and she immediately moved to defence, swinging her hand out to hit who she was yet to see. This person, however, caught her hand and pushed it back. She looked up, and she saw Julia, the daughter of the late shaman named Kai, who currently worked in the palace as a chef.

“Julia, what are you doing? I could have seriously hurt you...” she stopped speaking when she noticed Julia’s eyes as white as snow, although she normally had grey eyes.

She knew in that instant that something had changed in Julia and whoever she was now wasn’t their chef.

She struggled to set herself free from her tight grip, but Julia wouldn’t let go. “What happened to you?”

Julia did not answer, instead she began to speak. “The older shall not sit on the throne of Wahala to rule or doom shall befall us all. The younger shall rule and he shall be greater and do exploit throughout his reign, and though death shall come for him, he shall not stop fighting,” she spoke in a hoarse voice that Julia didn’t have and this voice terrified Mia.

“I do not understand. Is this a parable or a prophecy?” Mia asked, her voice reeked with confusion and fear.

“Those with ears, hear and those with sound minds, understand? The kingdom of Wahala shall fall and come to ruin if the older rule over the younger. Let your heart guard you, my queen.”

As Julia finished speaking, her grey eyes return, and she dragged in a deep breath. She saw Mia and released her from her hold before stepping back.

“My queen,” confusion registered in her eyes as she stared at Mia, “What happened?”

Mia held her hand over her chest where her heavily pounding heart lay. “You just told me a prophecy and now I’m lost more than ever.”

  • The Alpha King's Runaway Bride   Epilogue

    Three months later“My king, this is the monthly report of the work tasks already put in place at the warriors’ institute.” Sir Kole stepped forward to present the scroll to King Xavier, who sat on the throne, and beside him was Luna Queen Mia, who was heavily pregnant.He had asked her this morning before they both stepped out of their chamber if she would feel comfortable being in the throne room. He saw that her due date drew closer with each passing day. She had smiled and told him she was okay and able to carry on her duties as queen and counsel for the king. This was the ninth month. They were preparing themselves with every passing day for the due date, but they knew they would never fully prepare for the birth of their child. Still, it was better this way. The king wanted her in good working condition and treated her almost like a child who couldn’t help herself. It annoyed her most of the time, but he didn’t look ready to change his ways, at least not until their child was saf

    He drew a sharp breath and turned to find her eyes filled with panic and unexplainable fear.“What was that?” she asked with a still terrified voice.“It’s my being responding to the call.”“The call, the call of what?”“The slave ship. It has come to the border of the Wahala kingdom. Though freed from being a slave by my lord, I still feel the brokenness in me responding to the dark magic of the ship.”The only thing Kailani heard from everything he just said was, “The slave ship is at our border.”“Yes!” He nodded, already heading out of the house, and Kailani followed behind.As soon as he stepped out, he waved his hand around, reciting the portal chant at the same time, and a big, black circle appeared before him.“What are you doing?” Kailani asked, her voice holding much scepticism. Her question reminded him that she was still with him.“I promised to inform the King if the ship was ever to land on the shores of the kingdom, and that’s what I’m going to do.”“And what’s this hol

    He stood on the balcony and watched the princess through the open window of the upper floor, changing into her night robe. She no longer lived in the Royal Palace with her father but now lived at the Othman’s estate with her husband, Niall Othman, as a dutiful wife.He was miserable without her, but he couldn’t imagine how miserable she must feel being married to a man she didn’t love or want to be with. Being united for the rest of her life to a man who placed little regard on her. He married her for her name and probably bore her the same contempt she bore him.Or maybe he loves her.That could also be true, but he didn’t want to accept that it was true.She looked beautiful even now, and he hoped Niall told her that every chance he got. Ace hopes Niall told her she was beautiful, precious, and the most priceless possession he ever had the privilege of attaining.She deserved to know that.Ace snapped out of his thoughts when he heard voices and footsteps coming from not so far away

    A month laterA lot has changed for Ace in the kingdom. Since finding out about his family and lineage, King Xavier has welcomed him into the family with open arms. He also inducted him into the council of elders, a decision that brought confusion to the council at first because the council of elders was made up of men of noble backgrounds with power and title and wasn’t occupied by commoners. Xavier later told them who he was and how he was the heir to the land and fortune of House Don, as Lady Iris never married. He told them he was the son of Iris Don, changed his name to Lord Ace of the House Don, and awarded him his birthright. With his mother being Iris Don, questions rose about whose son he was, and Xavier asked if he wanted the truth about his father known. Ace wasn’t ready to do that. Learning about his father’s existence was one of the worst moments of his life. And if he could live his life without acknowledging his existence, he would gladly accept it. Xavier told him he u

    A short story about AceAfter the battle...Ace’s eyes opened in the room, and he did not know where he was. He looked up and saw Xavier towering above him with a cut on his face that should have healed a long time ago. However, for some strange reason, it hadn’t.He was in Wahala. The last memory he had was in Klean with Princess Xoe. She had asked him to mark her because her father wanted to marry her off to Niall Othman, the noble son. He saw the look on her face, which told him this wasn’t what she wanted. This was not what he wanted either, but what could he do? They were on a mission, and that had to come before anything else. Not being able to do anything else offended him, but that was the point. He had to accept his fate. There was no greater pain than being unable to be with the one you love, whom you were created for, but perhaps this was his wage for all the evil he had wrought in the world. Yes, he wanted to be a better man and worked towards that, but it still didn’t undo

    The news of Lady Lily’s death broke his heart. He knew her as a child because her father, Lord Crow of Shelled, was an ally to the crown. She was gentle and kind, and when he learnt Elliott had married her a few summers ago, it grieved him because she deserved better. She didn’t deserve this cruel fate; she didn’t deserve to end like this.“Then we shall put them to rest together.”They couldn’t send Lady Lily’s body back to Shelled; she was an Ainsworth, and so it was their duty to guide her to the life beyond. Abiding by the custom of the land, Xavier sent words to Lord Crow about the passing of his daughter.Then he sent for the priest and the ceremony leader to help put everything in place. With their help, they wrapped up what they could of Robb and organise his funeral on the pathway as well as Lady Lily. Just as Edward had made Mia stay back while he showed Xavier the room, Xavier made her stay back while they carried Robb’s body away for the last rites.After taking the rites
