ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Going to Virginia
Lightning cut through the grey clouds, and raindrops fall to the ground, making the sweet aroma of Earth invade my nostrils. My lids felt heavy like I was drowning deeper and deeper into the slumber of darkness. His fragile touch brushed the hairs off my face in a gentle caress that melted me in his touch. Leaning back against the seat, I took a deep breath, my head tilting towards the window as I blinked looking out. “How are you feeling?” His rich honey-laced voice reached my ears, soothing the raging of my emotions. Everything felt surreal, out of this world. My emotions, his touch, his presence, the rain, and the clouds, that does nothing but made my emotions heightened. “I’m fine,” my voice barely reached my ears but Augustus nodded regardlessly. His eyes trailed on the front, as he drove us to his house. After leaving the hospital, he suggested I should rest until James find something to cure Aconite Poisoning. The clouds gathered around just as we stepped out of the hospita
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) A little hope
Love was a dangerous emotion, it always was, even when I despised it most, I was slowly coming to admire the word again. Xerxes’s sick love had morphed into an obsession, and I was suddenly having flashbacks of my past. I was holding onto a piece of me I desperately wanted to let go of. My efforts to start over and leave my past behind were all in vain. He scared me. Terrorised me. Ironic how the mate I thought I was in love with was the sole reason that made me feel the hatred that much. My body felt overly exhausted, my limbs aching, the back of my spine screaming with agony as I adjusted myself in the seat. His warm hand clasped against my thigh as his touch assured me.“Sleep. We’ll be there shortly.” His whispered words stirred a wave of calmness in me. And I shockingly closed my heavy lids. The weather outside looked delicate, reminding me of the days I missed the most. Spring was my favourite time of the year. The sun's rays were warmer, and the air was soft. Golden hues chirp
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Patience is a virtue
“Did you send the invitation?” “Yes, I did, Alpha.” “And the preparations? How are they going? Make sure to welcome them with amenity.” Augustus said and Avi nodded, lowering his head a bit he bowed. I watched, fists clenched, heart beat louder, fingers tightening around the shawl he had me wrapped in. His thick, lean fingers clasped in front, eyes staring at me now and then. He was busy, but I was still on his mind. Augustus was a caring lover, possessiveness was just his way of making me feel that he liked me, the moment we came back from Virginia, he had himself incarcerated around me. Taking care of me, giving me herbs that James said would make the poisoning less uncomfortable, feeding me meals, forcing me to take rest even though my heart was restless. It was alarming how he had sent Rasmus to Mikaela. For him Mikaela was the best option to leave his son with, only to make sure that I was contempt in his house. It was sweet but a little startling also. Rasmus was ecstatic u
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) One kiss is all it takes, falling in love with me
“How do I look?”I twirled around wearing a baby blue dress that surpassed just a few inches below my knees. Augustus turned to adjust the cuffs links on his raven shirt when his body visibly tauten. The blue of his irises darkened to resemble the depth of the oceans before his eyes shamelessly raked over my body. “Beautiful,” the phrases were uttered from his soul, I could feel it. My cheeks crimsoned. No matter how daring I tend to become, his frivolous praise always left me shy like a mere pup who receives a heartwarming remark from her mate. I was still that female, who was happy with what was given to her.I smiled to hide my embarrassment for I slowly raised my finger to tuck the strand of my hair behind my ears. My naive action had Augustus fisting his palms as he once more assessed me from head to toe. “So, when is your guest arriving?” To hide my flushed flesh, I tried to change the topic. The tension between us was apparent, illicit yet I craved him like Eve craved the fr
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) To an alliance
Augustus raised his brows. Offended and amused. “Yeah, why don't you show me how to kiss like an adult then? I bet your lips could show me the daylights,” he challenged, tightening his hold. His lips puckered in a pout. I could die to see this side of him. Mischievous and whiny. “Relax-““Alpha, he’s here.” Avi’s voice interrupted us as Augustus grimaced at him. Avi looked between the proximity of both of us as his eyes widened for a second then he bowed. “My apologies, Alpha. I didn’t see you-““Of course, Avi. You should retire from being my Beta for you can hardly hear anything, see anything or even process anything.” Augustus gloomed as I pulled away and stood by his side, and gave a small smile to Avi who looked bewildered. Inclining his head to the side, he frowned.“But I just did my checkup last week. James said I was fit and heal-“My laugh had him frowning more and Augustus groaned. “Whatever, let’s go.” Avi was still confused. I felt bad for him. He turned, mumbling to
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Runaway
Sitting at touching distance from him made me realise how much closer danger was getting. Kai knew my whereabouts which would mean Xerxes wasn’t far. The thought itself was frightening in a soul-shuddering way. My heart was barely at ease. I couldn’t even hear Augustus and Kai conversing. Future alliance. Alliance where Augustus would suffer for my runaway. What was I ought to do now? I couldn’t face Xerxes for I couldn’t handle his wrath. He brought pain and suffering and the fact that Kai had witnessed the proximity of Augustus and me, was going to bring hell on Earth. The hell that would burn me. My body shivered. Kai’s eyes were enclosing on me now and then, there were provoking words that he was telling me through his eyes. And now, I couldn’t think straight as I gulped and grabbed Augustus’s shirt tugging it. “I-I need to use the bathroom,” I mumbled, avoiding his eyes. I shouldn’t lie to him but I couldn’t tell him the truth for that would bring him more suffering. Sensing m
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Betrayal is betrayal
My feet thumped against the forest floor, dizziness slowly creeping through my head, heart pounding loudly in my chest and yet I couldn’t figure out where I was running. It was so difficult, so paranoid to think that he was coming for me. Though Kai hadn’t said the words, I knew, that the moment he would be back, Xerxes would be coming for me. The thought scare the thought of living inside me. All the efforts Augustus made to keep me alive were now in vain. I was again at the beginning, running for my life from the one who was supposed to protect me with his life. A strangled sob left my lips as I harshly wiped the tears with the back of my hand. The dress I wore for Augustus was now drenched in my sweat and forest dirt. Managing my raging emotions seemed like a difficult job to do since all I could focus on was my mate. The one who was the very reason for my intensifying fear. My feet gave up and I find myself slumping against the tree as my limbs trembled and tears soaked my chee
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Let me in
“And you ran? Why must you be so adverse to Alpha? You should’ve talked to him, Katarina,” Avi complained, his voice heavy with disappointment. “I was just….trying to get some air,” “Yes, right. By running a mile and passing out in middle of the forest. You’ve quite delusional tastes, I must agree,” Avi did not believe me. Nor my words, neither my actions. I wouldn’t believe myself too. I couldn’t tell him the truth for it’d bring complications, but I could not run either. As much as I wanted to escape this cruel reality, somewhere deep down I knew I had to face it. If not now, then in future. But there was no escape. Xerxes had installed so much fear in me. He had me enthralled with his outer beauty that I couldn’t see the beast behind his beautiful eyes. I still regretted the moment I met him, only if I hadn’t–don’t go there. Avi was constantly breathing down my neck the moment he find my unconscious body under the tree.
