Prisoner Of the Cursed Alpha
"These alphas send their daughters here to trap me in alliances. Each one is a piece in a power game. They think that by giving me their daughters, they reaffirm their loyalty and ensure peace. I accept them, not out of desire, but because refusing them would be an insult that could lead to war. It’s all just empty theater. Influence, power, manipulation... None of it truly interests me."
There was something bitter in his voice, a restrained frustration that went beyond mere duty. For a brief moment, I realized that he, the Alpha King, didn’t really want this.
"If you don’t want it, then just reject them. You’re the Alpha King, no one should be telling you what to do or not to do!" I said, my voice firm and serious. How could anyone dare contradict him? He had the power, he was the Alpha.
But his reaction was unexpected. He took a deep breath, and the anger in his voice was palpable, mixed with something deeper, an old pain.
