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

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

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

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

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
The Alpha King's Last Wish 22: Denying reality
Ace stepped into the palace, surprised to see everything in order and untouched. He wondered if the slave army had attacked the capital, but from the look of the palace alone, it seemed it hadn't. So Damien had attacked the regions, hoping to first weaken the kingdom from around before facing the capital. Or did he only come for Shelled? That wouldn't make sense."Lord Ace," King Xavier called upon seeing him."My king," he said, dropping to his knees when he got close, and Ursla did likewise.King Xavier stepped towards him, and the queen stayed by his side. "I'll take it that Shelled also got attacked," he said, raising a brow.Ace nodded. "Yes, my king. It was a terrible attack, and being unexpected made it worse. Many elders of Shelled lost their lives."Xavier looked torn by his reply, but he composed himself. "And your mission to the east?""Lord Crow and the other living elders now understand you are not the enemy. This enemy doesn't speak to or understand them. The mission of
The Alpha King's Last Wish 23: Widowhood
Ace had someone in mind he wanted to see, especially after everything that had happened. Two days ago, when the slave soldier had him trapped and was about to kill him, he thought about only one thing: not his life as a lord or even the kingdom of Wahala. He thought of Xoe, the princess of Klean, his mate.He feared he might never see her again, which wasn’t the end he saw for himself. He needed to see her now.He had to. In the past, he had told himself why he couldn’t see the woman he loved. One reason was that she was married, but now he didn’t care. He couldn’t hide away and make all those excuses anymore.Death could come at any time, and he would die a miserable man if he never got to say his goodbyes. He deserved that, at the very least.He stood in Bronxville, where he knew Xoe had moved after her marriage to Lord Niall. The last time he was here was three years ago, just after her marriage, and he saw her in the night robe.He knew what was next; she would give herself to her
The Alpha King's Last Wish 24: Trial and truth
It took him a while to believe the words Xoe had told him. He saw her as many things, but none was a killer. It didn't make sense, and when he asked her what she meant, she did not tell him anything; instead, she told him to leave.He dressed up and left the house, but not Klean. He couldn't leave her, not in the midst of this, but he didn't want to be another trouble to deal with.The carriage arrived at the noble home, and Xoe got inside before it drove off. He followed behind, keeping a distance between them. After three hours of riding, they arrived at the capital and headed for the palace.The guards, already waiting for her arrival, helped her out of the carriage and led her into the palace.Just like she told him hours ago, she was being tried by the father of Niall for the death of his son. They believed she had poisoned him, as he had died suddenly. The house had a record of healthy blood and lived well into their old age, and Niall barely passed twenty-five before his sudden
