“ 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

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

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

“ 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
