The Alpha King's Last Wish 14: Rebellion and greed
Shelled, the Eastern region.Ace arrived in Shelled, the eastern region. The first thing that welcomed him was the mild weather. It was so different from the capital and Soule. It was good, though, and his body could get used to it since he would be here a few more days.Up to him, he would keep himself from the notice of any noble-born or elite in the region, but the king instructed him to stay in the royal estate. He had no choice; he couldn’t go against the alpha king. After his arrival, the escort waiting for him at the gates opened up to him. They led him to his quarters, already neat and arranged for his arrival, and there was a standby maid ready to cater to his needs. He didn’t need any of that; he was fine on his own, so he told them he would only need the escort tomorrow morning when he left for the council court and dismissed the maid.His assignment in the region was simple: get the people of Shelled to stop their rebellion against the alpha king and know their place in th
The Alpha King's Last Wish 15: Greed of power
Ace got up and was ready the following day to stand before the elders. From the alpha king and Ursla's words, he knew the elders and nobles were greedy men who cared more about enriching their pockets than following the wishes of the people they claimed to represent.Since word had already spread about his arrival in Shelled, he knew the elders would be gathered together, waiting for him at the council court.He arrived at the eighth hour and stepped into the council of elders in Shelled, the eastern region of the kingdom of Wahala. The twelve elders, consisting of twelve nobles and lords all born and raised in Shelled, sat all adorned in costly apparel and chains of gold. They were wealthy, and they showed it off. Ace wore a simple black robe with emerald designs. It didn't matter what he looked like; what mattered was his mission here.He stood amongst them to bring the message of the Alpha King, and as expected, he was met with harsh and angry confrontation. At least with him, they
The Alpha King's Last Wish 16: Duties and family
Kame, the Southern region.Alpha Koz stepped into the royal lodge, exhausted from the long journey to Kame. It would have been faster, but Luna Elena chose to accompany him. He had visited the region at least six times yearly in the last three years, as his duties lay here. As he got ready to leave last week, however, Elena spoke up, telling him she was coming with him. He told her they would have to bring Cara along with them if she came, and he seemed okay with that. So, the whole family journeyed to Kame. They will stay here for a few days before returning to the capital to report to the king and queen about the progress of their assignment.They laid Cara in bed and retired to their assigned chambers.“You still think I shouldn’t have come with you?”“I am happy that you are here, but a part of me thinks you should have stayed in the capital. I felt that was safer and where you belonged.” He admitted it to her.She nodded and held on to his arm. “You are right, but I wanted to com
The Alpha King's Last Wish 17: The enemy
Soule, the Northern region.Edward's eyes fluttered beside Kailani as a ray of sunlight flickered over his face. He had looked forward to having her like this, sleeping soundly beside him, for the last three years. It felt almost like a dream, but it was as natural as it was ever going to get.He will not leave again. He couldn't make her that promise because he had broken it the last time, but he never will. The promise this time was for himself, and he will never leave.A light moan left Kailani's mouth, and Edward's attention moved to her, and he found her slowly waking up.Her eyes landed on him, and though still sleepy, they narrowed at him. "What are you doing already awake?""You are beside me; I think it is wrong to let this much perfection go to waste all in the name of sleep."Her eyes narrowed for a while, trying to understand what he meant. She rolled her eyes when she figured it out. She turned to the other side of the bed, where he wouldn't have to look at her, but he to
The Alpha King's Last Wish 18: Rebellion and chaos
Shelled, the Eastern region.Ace rose and departed from the estate. He went over to the Lord's community, where he would find Ursla. He had placed a tracking beetle on her yesterday because he sensed her father might seek to harm her, but he got no such signal until yesterday ended. With this beetle, he found where she lived and portaled himself into her chambers.At his sight, she almost screamed, but he held his hands up. "What are you doing in my room?" she asked with a fearful voice, her eyes filled with panic.Holding his hands up, he said, "I need your help.""How do you know where I live?" she demanded with a frown."I placed a beetle on you yesterday at the market." he answered.She didn't seem to understand what he said, but she didn't try to. "You need my help with what?"Ace told her everything that had happened and asked if he could have her rally together the people so he could deliver the king's message to them instead. He knew he would have more impact with them than th
The Alpha King's Last Wish 19: Ending stage
Kame, the Southern RegionThey were vicious; they were cruel. Just as he had been told, they could be.He had barely drawn the conclusion when ten soldiers stepped through the gate.Koz drew a sharp breath and turned to Jarold. "Seal the Pinnacle!" He told him before turning to face the soldiers approaching.Jarold took to his heels and ran off, going to carry out the instruction given. A slath ran after him, matching his speed, but Koz grabbed him by his neck and threw him to the ground in a hard slam. He snapped his neck and killed him immediately.In the second of taking his eyes off them, another soldier ran to and attacked Jarold, tackling him onto the ground before he could reach for the seal button."Jarold!" Koz called to him, hoping to be his source of strength somehow.Jarold didn't quickly recover to fight back before the slath ripped out his heart and tossed it to the ground before getting up.These enemies were calculating and swift, and this wasn't in a good way. They we
The Alpha King's Last Wish 20: Rebellion and death
Shelled, the Eastern region.Odion, the older elder, rose from his seat and approached the slaths, who stood unmoved in their position."Who are you?" Elder Odion asked, only to be met with silence from the soldiers standing still."Do not go near them," Ace warned, but like always, they didn't listen."You have no business being here!" Elder Odion continued sternly as he got to where one stood. "This is the elder's court, and—" he didn't get to finish because the slath launched at him. He pulled out his silver dagger, ran it over his neck, and then thrust it into his chest. The elder body dropped, and his blood gushed onto the floor, much to the horror of everyone seated.They all rose to their feet, and they looked terrified. Four more slath soldiers stepped through the door, and the total number now was six. Before they could prepare, the slaths launched at them, attacking with their fingers and claws. Ace knew he had to leave the council court since his presence had subdued their
The Alpha King's Last Wish 21: Evil in flesh
Soule, the Northern region."Get out of our town!" a man yelled, running towards the men with his jar of wine.The third slath launched at him, and with a swift swing of his dagger, he sliced the man in half. The tavern erupted with angry cries as the men rushed towards the four slath soldiers standing in the tavern, forgetting what Edward had just told them about the men.The slath ran head first into the attack, their daggers flying as they sliced and cut through the men standing by. The Wahala men succeeded in taking down one of the four men before they were all brutally annihilated in under a minute.The slath ran towards Edward, but he stretched his hand out to stop him on his step. He turned to Kialani and said, "I cannot hold him for long. You need to go."He saw she didn't want to leave his side, but she had to. "Your presence is interfering with my magic."She nodded, and without another word, she took to her heel, running as fast as she could from his presence. One of the sl
