Alpha King
“ Relax, I really want to sleep,” I muttered to her when my gaze found her all tense on the edge of the bed. She looks like she’s hesitating to move closer into the bed that’s why I took the opportunity to grab her by her waist and lift her up before tugging her closer to my chest.
All I can hear is her heartbeat, or maybe it was mine. The thing is ever since that I claimed her as my mate, my heart is only beating for her and her only. And I was a shit for feeling something like that.
Is this what Alpha Ryder wants to tell me when he said that claiming her as my mate was my biggest mistake? But it wasn’t something that is associated with blood. Her blood, to be specific.
Aside from the shallow feeling of watching the old man dies in front of me, a hole was left in my mind thinking what he meant by his words. And I guess, I have no one to answer me anymore. Alpha Ryder live a long life enough to be use
“ Y-You…what..” Her lips trembled as she realized her mistake. No matter how much I tried to look back from our conversation earlier, I can never think of anything that will make her do this.I pull my upper body over the edge of the bed. The fabric that covers us earlier flows freely on top of me.She laughed, hysterically while I remain looking at her. At this point, I don’t know what to feel anymore. Am I annoyed? Angry? Or maybe, I don’t know. The pain of losing the old man was enough for me to let my guard down and this woman take advantage of that.I offered my hand. “ Give it back,” I instructed, not feeling the need to confront her. Part of me wanted to put her in place but I am still mourning and having her blood over my hands tonight, with the same hands that hold the old man’s, is such a disaster.All I wanted was to truly rest with her.Victoria shakes her head. “ You’ll gonna
Alpha King“ Someone was here last night?!” Alpha Riley asked in a much firmer tone after we finished our breakfast and goes back to our conversation.I only nodded and glance over his back to see her still unfocused about what happened last night. The way how she trembles make me want to think that she’s not lying but hearing how she describes what she so makes me…doubtful.Our pistol was only ours, to begin with. It's both a shame and disrespect for someone to imitate our symbol unless. No. He is already dead and there is no way he was going to appear right in front of my eyes if he survived that night.My mind draws back over him but it was just a fast moment because I cannot let myself lingers over that memory that long. It only opens some wounds that I stuff with nothing to darkness in order to survive in this world.No matter how much I wanted to believe Victoria Stephens, what she said is just nothing b
VICTORIA STEPHENS “ Still no luck?” My ears heard the wariness on Alpha King’s voice as he questions Alpha Riley who just slides himself inside of the car after they made pursuit against this 10th town that is described over the coordinates in the journal that I burned.My mind spins at the thought of not having the luck to find that damn warrior pack that my father had even after having all of these coordinates. It’s been three days since we decided to go in a quest where we are driving into the route of each coordinate, hoping to find that warrior pack sooner than ever.The thought of another Tri-Alpha, Alpha King’s daughter unknowingly makes me conscious enough to help them. I don’t know the bigger picture nor what happened but I have this hunch that he is the most wicked among all of them, the most vicious enough to scare the Tri-Alpha and rush their plans towards reigning over ev
He growled again, looking impatient. “ Do you want him alive or not?” he asked, almost annoyed but I made no movement because I cannot process what he was trying to say.Alpha Riley sighs. “ I’ll do it,” he manages to say, opening the side door and attempting to get out but Alpha Zac stops him.“ I need you as a lookout, Alpha Riley. Someone who will shoot enemies that are on our track,” he said before his gaze lowers into mine.This time, Alpha King is almost unconscious and all I can hear is his heavy breathing.I nodded, gulping every pain and fear because as much as it scares me to hurt him, it scares me also to see him die without me doing anything to make him survive.And so, I gripped over the blade that I received as a gift from him. The one that he carved my initials in the handle and the one that he use to tear my veil of secrets of being the heiress of the Erebus pack. Now, I will fucking use it
Victoria Stephens “ Did you get everything?” Alpha Riley asked when he shoved another pile of bags inside the car and glanced in my direction. My hand is still pressing over Alpha King’s wound and tears are still streaming down my cheeks for I don’t know if I can hold it out for another minute.His body is now too cold that I am worried I already lost him but his heavy breathing made it a point that he is still alive. Alpha Zac nodded before he sighs and yanked my arms out of the wound. He made me crawl over the side of the car for him to have enough space to examine Alpha King’s wound.The way how his hands carefully touch his body makes me wonder if he really knows what he’s doing right now. No, I don’t doubt him but worrying about Alpha King with my hands covered with his blood is enough to make me lose my mind and cloud my judgment.Alpha Zac sighs. “ Hold
Alpha King She wasn’t talking. Her weight settles over the edge of the car as her body goes limp into nothing but oblivion of what she did.She lied. Again.She betrayed me. Again.Victoria Stephens lies more than I can count in my fingers. All words that she said made me fall head over heels for her that I never doubted hers. I never doubted her words because as a mate, I was trying to be better for her.Damn. I was trying to be a better man for her even though I know that I don’t have any redemption in this world or if I did, she will only be that only redemption that I am willing to take.And yet, she lies again. Everything about her was lies and right now, I don’t know what to think about her.That night that I asked her about the journal, she lies with her straight face. On the night that I asked her to scribble down to coordinates for us to find the Erebus warrio
ALPHA KING Alpha Riley eyes snap up. He was done checking the perimeters of these woods and yet, based on his expression, I think I already what else happened. Even in this depth, there is still no sign of the warrior pack that we’ve been looking for.Victoria told us that it was hidden in the shadow of non-existent tribes, covering themselves in a mirage identity waiting to be led outside. The only tribe that is known to be like that is the tribe here in these woods, like what I said, Alpha Riley knows every information.He shook his head. “ I think they are hidden somewhere here. Let’s just camp inside and wait for them to appear,” he suggested making Alpha Zac cringe in the background. Because he is now driving, his hands are now busy wiping his blades.His addiction to that habit of him will do him no good other than calming his demon.“ Do you think we have a fuckin
VICTORIA STEPHENS Part of me expects to die earlier. Or maybe, just a part of me died because of the words that I had heard coming out from his mouth. From Alpha King’s mouth. From my mate’s mouth. He said that he loves me but he didn’t care enough for me.I don’t know what hurts the most. I don’t know if what to think to not hurt anymore. My throat is fuzzy from what I needed to say to survive. Even the feeling of the sharp object in my waist didn’t bother to scare me anymore. I don’t know what to think anymore.Officially, I am numb. Ever since that night when he said that he loves me, it didn’t leave my mind. I know that he does and I do also. I love him but I was scared of him. I was scared to be hurt by him but just when I walk into the thin line of accepting this vicious fate of us, he rushes down the line and shouts how much he doesn’t care about me. May
“ 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
