Alpha King
Betrayal has taste. Hard-to-chew, fermented justification. All for the name of love. All for the name of sanity and denying the treacherous act.
It doesn’t numb the tongue. Nor the body. It does more than that. Enough dosage of betrayal numbs the heart and mind from functioning its liberty to choose what its morale. What is rational.
I felt so betrayed. Never felt so betrayed in my whole life until now. Until I saw what was marked over her delicate skin.
It was the most rational emotion to feel, right? Yet, I wasn’t born like this. I wasn’t born as rational, ordinary Alpha who leads a pack down into peace.
I was a glitch in the system. Born out of extraordinary things. Born out of cruelty and mistake.
Right now, keeping my head straight was insane. Because I can’t. All I can see is the crest of the Erebus pack down under her skin, marked, etched, imprinted. And fuck me, fuck me if it turns me
Victoria Stephens“Untie me now.”My eyes flutter as I succumb into darkness, completely feeling how worn out my body is. No. Not just my body but everything about me is exhausted and worn out.I feel disgusted. Humiliated.The rope rips was easily cut through the sharp edge of the blade. He starts in my wrist until he goes down and did the same with my legs, completely freeing me from his attack. Nevertheless, I felt consumed by everything.Although I was given the opportunity to move my body, I can’t. It feels heavy and frozen by the dilemma of everything. All I can do is to close my ties and feel the coldness of the floor-grazing over my naked body.Not even a single thought crosses my mind as I just stare at the shadows of the moon. Funny how this barn has an open space roof, allowing the shine of the moon to fully penetrates the insides. Allowing alpha king to fully see what I’ve been hidden my whol
Alpha KingI did it.I fucking did it.The mark of my teeth is in her skin, total evidence of me marking her as my own. Claiming her as my mate which I did plan too long before all of this happened. The only difference is that this time, I did it for something else. For everything else.At least, that is what I wanted to think.Victoria Stephens and I will never be compatible with each other. She doesn’t deserve me. No matter how much she claims that she’s worse and probably a monster, I am more dark than her.Darkness corrupted my life. It circulates into my blood and pumps through my heart. While Victoria? She doesn’t know that even just doing that makes her far away from the darkness that she thinks she had.A sudden pain made me flinch as soon as I entered the kitchen area. Alpha Zac is twistedly trashing against Alpha Riley’s arms as he was stopping him from punching me more.He spitte
Victoria Stephens Though my body hurts, I cannot feel myself going into a deep slumber. The breeze presses over my body as I just lay into bed and wonder what had happened. What had just happened earlier. I’m in chaos. My mind is swirling from everything and I cannot find the same exact moment of knowing what will I do with everything. I hate him. I loathed him. I am angry with him. Alpha King forced me to sink his teeth into my skin. Somehow, I have this feeling of hating him for forcing his canine on me but then, I found myself wanting another thing. I found myself wanting to feel his mark on my skin, so I did. I fucking did. My fingers crawl over my skin and felt a stinging sensation of his mark embedded on my skin. You also wanted it. That little voice inside of my head said but the truth is that I didn’t. That time, I didn’t want to be marked by Alpha King. To be his mate. All I can think about was to run away.
Victoria StephensI stare over the three men in the kitchen. One was smoking, the other one was drowning himself with coffee and the last was busy wiping his blades. Always busy wiping his blade. They look ridiculously hot in the morning yet; they are more than that. These men are scorching hot and dangerous. Dangerous enough to end my life right now.If I hadn’t known them as cruel, I would have escaped and fled through the wide-open doorway at my back but I know better, didn’t I? No matter what I do right now, my scent will always lingers to Alpha King and he will quickly haunt me down in just using that because he fucking claimed me as his.I still can’t over the fact that he claimed me as his mate without hesitation or without a warning. Was that even normal? Was he even normal?But then, they weren’t. No one on us is normal enough to the naked eyes of the community. Each one of us shares darkness that we wish to
Victoria StephensMy head is killing me, almost like I wanted to vomit out of everything that comes out of my mouth. I can feel them staring struck right into me. Like the first time that I realized what was written in the journal, these three alphas, although they claimed that they are the most powerful alpha’s that has ever lived seem to be shocked as they can be. As anyone can be.Witnessing what was happening on the pack was one thing but knowing what my father was planning all along was everything. Every darkness and cruelness drips over his journal.I was just finished telling them everything and my throat is aching. My body burns out of the darkness that came out of my vein, not accepting how much stain of blood was on my hand. I wonder if it can be washed, but my father made sure that it wasn’t even an option. No washing of hands from the sins that my family has committed for the past years that he reigns.If the Tri-Alph
Alpha KingI hadn’t left for a battle worrying for someone. Heck, I didn’t even care about someone other than myself. And yet, here I was feeling anxious because my little mate was back in that house, all alone.After she gave me the coordinates, Alpha Riley decided to visit an old friend but it entails us one thing, to not bring anyone unless. This friend is like the oldest alpha that has ever lived and just gone. Vanished. However, Alpha Riley discovered him before and he was useful for providing information and history that no one knows other than those who are still alive to tell.“ You seem to be anxious, Alpha King. Worrying about her?” Alpha Zac taunted making me halt on my steps.I turned around and saw him smirking. “ Yeah, who the fuck leaves their hostage all alone?”“ She’s your mate,” he pointed out.“ And so?”Staring at him, I always wonder
Alpha King“You’re not my father,” I said, hardening my stare.He scoffed and throw the apple away, wiping his mouth with the back of his hands before laughing at me. At me.“ Aw. That hurts, little king,” he mocked before I felt his fast movements and the next thing I knew, I was being pinned down on the ground, face-first with his knee on my back to keep me still.None of us moves, I tried to look up and saw nothing but bewilderment in the two alphas' face. He was fast enough to pin me down like a wind flowing in a millisecond. That’s how accurate his speed was.I plastered a rather impassive glare and looked at him but it only made him furious enough to drive down more of the weight from his knee, pinning me more.“ You better show respect, young alpha. This is still my territory and you’re still my son,” he scoffed before kicking me one more time and walking away.All I can do
I snarled. “ Are you following me?” I said, feeling betrayed. There is no way that they know about Victoria Stephens rejecting me the first time because that happened at Howard’s house. And they are busy with something that day.“ Nope, Victoria can talk, Alpha King.” Alpha Riley chuckles which only made me more furious. “ Victoria can talk.”Without blinking, I felt rushed and punched the body of the tree, causing my fist to bleed because of the force. All of the violence kept my head pounding into nothing but an absolute bliss of anger.Damn it. Just damn it.If she can talk to them about how she fucking rejected me that night, I don’t know what to feel other than betrayal. Victoria Stephens surely knows how to make me hate her and have this desire to punish her. All I wanted now was to go home and confront her for it. Ask her why the fuck was she blabbering about that and if she’s proud enough to te
“ Is this what you hope for us, little wolf?” I felt Alpha King asked behind me, his large arms embracing my waist as he sways our body into the tone of his hum.I cannot answer but instead I let him sway our body into his tone. “ It’s peaceful,” I choke on my own words.It’s sunrise. Every day, he’ll wake up and stare at the sun rising as if he longs for something. The only thing that can console me is to be with him when the sunrise came. Because, just then, I can feel his love as pure as it was. I can feel him whole, and undivided by our past.I nodded and smile against his touch. Alpha King never disappoints when it comes to his sweet gestures. He lives to fulfill his word of drowning me with his love because I do. I do drown in the way how he showers me with his unending love.But sometimes, it made me hold my breath to survive. And most of the time, it suffocates me.Just being with Alpha King behind
" You left, Alpha King. I saw you glancing at us, but you left. You fucking left knowing that we might get killed on that day," Alpha Riley shouted as he pushed me to the ground.All I can do is groan and accept his anger. It's true. I left them in the middle of the war thinking of chasing a life in peace. Fuck peace. I don't think anyone hated peace as much as I hated it.I was wrong chasing a peaceful life. I was so fucking wrong.Alpha Riley groans. " Get out!" He shouted, shoving me away. " Get the hell out of my face and don't ever come back. You ruined the tri-alpha. Alpha King, you didn't fail yourself. You failed us," he said.Fuck. I never knew Alpha Riley's words were as sharp as this.I chuckle to myself and nod. " You're right. I failed the tri-alpha. I ruined us. That's why I'm here to fix us, right? I wanted us whole again."" No," he scoffs, shaking his head. " The Tri-Alpha will never
I nod.My heart felt every remorse, pain, and all the emotions that I had never felt in my entire life as I accepted her words.Victoria Stephens remains staring at me. I can see blood in her eyes, in her hands, and everything about us right now doesn’t define a peaceful life.Heck.I never lived a peaceful life. All I did was to fight, to survive and shed blood because I was told to. When I was young, my father never raises war for me, he seeks for it and sends me to get killed. It’s his mission to get me killed because having two sons with the urge to dominate is nothing but a curse.He plans to kill. That I know of. Every damn time that he sends me to war, he wishes for me to not return and just die but I didn’t. It took him long enough to realize he couldn’t kill me. And so, he blatantly favors my brother, Lourde to be the alpha next in line.That’s the main reason I left our family.However, I cannot
Victoria Stephens We’re made of darkness. Each one of us is dark in our own way and we all know about that. We recognize our darkness just as how we recognize how the world could be. None of us tried to hide it. We embrace each other’s darkness as we tried to supply each other’s greed. The tri-alpha is greedy for power, to the kingdom, and to dominate while I am only greedy for one thing. I am greedy with Alpha King. I won’t deny it. I only want him for myself and sometimes it felt like him being the executioner fails him as my mate. And so, In the middle of the war, I held Alpha King’s hand. I don’t know if I’m selfish or maybe I’m cold for doing this but I had to. Alpha King wants me to live and I want to live with him. Everyone is busy surviving so why can’t we think of surviving too? If being selfish is what it takes to be alive, I am going to be selfish for us to live. I wanted to live with him. I wanted to live wi
Alpha King’s POV “What if we’re in the middle of the war? Will you leave them and be with me instead?” I glare at her and shove down her coffee to shut her up. Alpha Zac and Alpha Riley are checking some things in our alliances and I opted to spend time with my mate. Yeah, this mate thing is fucking hilarious. I felt like I cannot function a day without seeing her face. Maybe, Alpha Ryder is right. Claiming her is the worst thing that I did because right now, I can’t even focus. Fuck. I should be in the middle of the war, searching for things to make us one step ahead of Alpha Vladimir and his evil plans but I can’t. All I can think about is Victoria Stephens. All I can care about is her. Did she eat? Did she escape my room and found her way back into the streets? Did she try to leave me again? I don’t think I can last a second in the war thinking of her like that. I love her. That’s why I claimed her. Heck. My love for her only
“ H-How! How the hell are you alive?!” Alpha Seymour shouted as I look through my tears and found my mate, Alpha King’s eyes staring at me.The blade that I am holding met the ground as soon as I embrace my arms around him. I cannot believe it. “ I-I thought you’re dead…” I whisper against his nape.“ I cannot leave you hurting, little wolf. I just can’t,” he whispers and turn me around to face my teary eyes. I can never believe I almost lost him earlier. He smiles. I never saw him smiles at me like that. “ Don’t cry now, babe,” he said leaning down to reach my ears. “ We have a warrior pack to claim right?” he winks.I was fascinated to see him alive that I cannot help staring at him as he face the warriors
“ Victoria!”“ Alpha King!”“ Fuck!”I cannot move. My hands cannot move as I felt the gush of blood leaving Alpha King’s body.Alpha Seymour, Alpha Riley, and Alpha Zac are all here. The warriors are all here but I cannot move. It’s been minutes since Alpha King closed his eyes.I looked up, seeing Alpha Seymour’s face. “ You told me! You fucking told me this is going to work!” I shouted at him still stopping Alpha King’s wound to stop from bleeding. The blade that I used earlier is now gone. His brother too is now gone. “ You told me he’ll wake up! That he’ll survive but why hasn’t he opened his eyes
“ You told me you’re going to release her,” I growl watching Lourde tying Victoria across the tree in front of me.I followed him and bound myself too tight that I won’t rip these fucking ties and kill him in my own hand. But seeing how my mate is fucking wincing against his touch riles up all of those fucking restrictions.My gaze darkens. “ I told you to leave her alone! She got nothing to do with all of these, Lourde. My mate has nothing to do with all of your shit. Release her!”He growled. “ Shut up! Shut the fuck up!” Lourde shouted running towards my direction and pointing the tip of his barrel into my chest. I can see murder in his eyes. It didn’t bother me. What bothers me the most is the silent sobs that I am hearing from Victoria&rsqu
Where is she?” I shouted at Alpha Seymour, gripping his collar. “ Where the fuck is Victoria?!”“ Calm down, Alpha King. My men are searching for her everywhere. I’m sure she’s just around the corner,” Alpha Seymour said pushing me out of his way.But heck. How can I even calm down when I know that something is definitely wrong. She will not bail out of anyone’s sight like this. Something is wrong. I must find her.“ Fuck, Alpha King. Where do you think you’re going?!” I heard one of them say but I don’t care. I continue to saunter into the woods to find her. I don’t trust Alpha Seymour’s warrior to find my mate. It’s been fucking hours since she’s gone and if I won’t see her for the next hou
