Alpha's Regret After I Died
“Get the wounded and children out of here. Alphas, your armies now belong to me. Hold this courtyard and let nothing pass.”
The order rolled through the air, and everyone moved.
I grabbed Arthur's arm, stopping him. “Arthur, we can’t kill them.”
His eyes came down to mine, and for one second, I saw and felt everything he was trying not to feel. “I know,” he said, his voice rough. “But what choice do we have?”
His words made my heart stop with fear because Arthur was right.
But killing them couldn’t be the only answer.
“Then don’t kill them,” I said, my fingers digging into his arm. “Hold them back. Buy us time.”
