Todos los capítulos de ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES): Capítulo 41 - Capítulo 50

“Her body is cold, Alpha. Her breaths….they’re shallow.”I was never completely sure of anything. Either be it the first time Lucien taught me fighting in battlegrounds, the night my parents were killed and I remained in that same house and couldn’t do anything, or when I fall in love with him. Why was I bringing this all out of blue? Well, these were the few decisions I regretted.I remembered two things only. Me drifting into the darkness and now, cold hands on my feverish body. “Do something. Save her,” I sensed his domineering and overbearing presence on my left, despite my eyes being closed, I could feel his warmth on my body, claustrophobic and nauseating. I hated him. “Her wolf, I can no longer sense her. Aconite is spreading like cancer.” A low growl was heard, pained and filled with disbelief. “Where the fuck is the cure? Damien!” Footsteps were heard, urgent and panicked. There were several presences around me. My chest tightened more. I wanted to move, but my body was pa

I opened my eyes to someone struggling in my arms, it took me a moment to realise that Katarina was awake now. Like someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over me, I sat straight. I hadn’t realised when I slept beside her. Maybe this was one of the side effects of mating with her. Mating. I had marked her. My eyes instinctively moved to her slender neck, two puncture marks of my ownership decorating her nape. This spreading purple with yellow blotches was only the surface wound. The real one was within her, that feeling of betrayal, that breaking of trust that was so essential to true love. For what we love, we protect, right? But I failed her. I could feel it in the way she look at me. So broken and despaired. Katarina looked around warily, breathing heavily as I immediately helped her sit. Her angry eyes snapped at me as she slapped my hands away. My eyes narrowed as I felt annoyance resurfacing. “W-why did you do that?” She asked, for a moment I couldn’t decide what she wa

ONE YEAR AGO“Alpha,” Damien’s voice interrupted my morning workout. Jumping down from the tree, I didn’t bother to wear my shirt as I grabbed the water bottle from his hands. Sweat dripped down my body making my gym shorts stick to my thighs as I looked irritably at him. Just like always, he didn’t feel any remorse for breaking my morning peace. Damien passed me a sheepish grin before tossing my shirt at me as I caught it in mid-air. “There’s an urgent schedule for you,” Damien said as I wiped the sweat and we walked towards the pack house where other wolves were doing their training. I usually keep Damien as their trainer, but I needed him to go with me today, so today’s schedule was mostly free. I was not informed about any meeting. I frowned in confusion. This was so sudden. “All of sudden?” I asked, suspicion bubbling inside me. “Yes, I received the message from Alpha Andrei this morning.” I eyed Damien as he walked beside me.“Andrei? What’s he doing here?” I was not in a ve

I awaken with a loud gasp and a forward jerk as my body lunge onwards. My fingertips dug into the mattresses tightly clutching the softness. My eager and scared eyes snapped to the window as I was met with a soft morning breeze and warm sun rays. My eyes widen. How long had it been?Swinging my legs over the bed I quickly flipped the duvet off me as I rushed towards the mirror. My cautious eyes eagerly looked at my reflection as I removed my dress and gazed at my naked body. Devoid of any marks. There were no blue or purple bruises nor there were any indication of them ever existing. I couldn’t bring myself to believe that whatever happened last night was not a dream. I had fully expected it to be one, but knowing Xerxes would never tell me lies, even if he hurt me so much, I was sure his words held as much truth as the grief I noticed in his eyes. I sighed as I walked to the closet. Unstoppable thoughts raged through my head yet I couldn’t find the reason why all of this was happen

“Think of it as my way of apologising.” He muttered, his voice low and deep. It seemed like he was struggling with the way he tightened his arms around me. I could feel his emotions yielding to him. So intense and overwhelming that seeped through my veins to my heart, plaguing it with a disease called to care. I did not. I reminded myself. But who was I to deny it anymore. “For how many things are you going to apologise?” I said, almost too broken that Xerxes flinched. His fingers dug into my waist as he pulled me close. Afraid that I might disappear if he let go. “Everything.” Everything. “Then that will take an eternity.” Maybe more than that. Many more lives. Where I knew I’d been born as his. His captor for always. “I shall wait for eternity then.”The knot in my stomach grew. And we stayed like that. He knelt and my hands automatically moved to his hair. Xerxes stiffened but did not make any move to jerk as I intertwined my fingers in his silky hair. Running my fingers throug
