The Alpha King's Last Wish 35: Last plans
At Xavier's instruction, the best of the king's squad gathered, and Sir Aira explained their mission to them. Their job was simple: they would attack Ville, Foth's capital and seat of power, and render the elders powerless in only a few hours. Once they established that, Sir Aira would stay and rule with the king's instructions until the war was over. Ace also knew about Foth; he knew almost every region and corner of the kingdom, from Ville to Dome. He lived there most of his life, so he could find his way even if he were blindfolded. He was an advantage to the mission.Ace thought it was a great plan of attack and promised to deliver Foth to the king and queen. Edward also chose to go along with them, increasing their advantage. When Xavier asked if he told Kailani about his decision, he said he did, and she supported it. There was nothing else to say; he wished them all the best, and the twenty-five brave soldiers took their leave.They took a few hours longer than expected, but th
The Alpha King's Last Wish 36: Truth and reality
Just like Xavier promised his brother, he marched to the north of the capital, where Koz lived, as soon as Edward departed for Jade. The north of the capital was a few hours away from the palace in the carriage, and Xavier took a few guards for protection.He didn’t think he needed any protection, but he received advice against leaving the palace alone, especially in his condition.Adhering to the advice, he took five of the king’s men and headed out. The queen left for the farmers’ institute to tour the warehouses, their capacity, and their protection. In times of war, the enemy would attack food; taking out food would be a way to weaken a kingdom.He didn’t bother to tell her about his visitation to Alpha Koz’s house because he knew she would want to come along. She already had enough to worry about as it was. He could handle this despite his condition. His movement was discrete because many people didn’t know the king was gravely sick, and they intended to keep it that way.The car
The Alpha King's Last Wish 37: King and Queen
“You know, when the alpha king left Jade six months ago, I knew something was off with him. His face was paler than ever, but he was still strong, and so I thought a little of it,” Lycan King Aeon Diamandis said as he and Edward walked through the garden.“Fate plays cruel cards on all of us sometimes.”Aeon nodded in agreement with his words. “How is his Luna holding up?” he asked.“Queen Mia is a brave queen; she has not allowed this to hold her down; she does her royal duties while filling in for her husband where the need arises.”He chuckled a little. “It reminds me of my queen, Olivia. I think our mates are the bravest side of us.”To that, Edward agreed. “You are right.”He knew the Lycan king’s story and how his mate helped him break his curse, which would have taken control of him on his twenty-seventh birthday and driven him mad with rage. The moon goddess chose her to rid the curse, and it was a story that went far back a few years ago, and until this moment, many still sin
The Alpha King's Last Wish 38: A Brother's love
Ace walked into the palace, surprised to see it crowded with people—nobles of all races and classes. He didn’t think he would meet this many people today, and he wondered if he should return to Wahala and come back tomorrow. Then he remembered that King Xavier’s instructions were to stay in Klean until his mission was accomplished.He took hold of a guard’s arm, making him stop as he asked, “What is going on today?”The guard’s eyes narrowed at him, as if asking what he was doing here if he didn’t know what was going on. Ace didn’t have the answer, nor was he willing to let him go until he said, “It is the late king’s remembrance week; we wrap up the week with a feast on the last day.”Then he remembered that it had been two years since the former king, Ferdinand Ono, died. They had received news about King Ferdinand’s sudden death, and Simone ruled it a natural cause in his letter to King Xavier.Ace released his hand, chuckling a little. “Oh, thank you. For a moment, I forgot.”The
The Alpha King's Last Wish 39: Pain of the inevitable
“You are thinking.” It was not a question; it was an observation that was correct.Xavier turned to Mia with a smile on his pale face and said, “Yeah, counting down the days to the war. It is hard to count when I know I won’t be here.” He replied bitterly.She reached out and stroked his face slowly. “Do not think about that, Xavier. Think about us and now, and think about everything you set up to ensure victory for your people.”His hand came up to her hand on his face, and he took hold of it. Slowly, he squeezed down on it and said, “I do not want to leave you, Mia. I never planned to leave you this quick.”His words broke her heart, but she had to remain strong for him, herself, and the boys.She smiled and said, “I know, and I do not want you to leave either.”“Can we stay in bed for a while longer?” He asked with his brow arched in the form of a plea.She turned from him and stared at the ceiling. “Yes, we can.”He brought her hand to his lips and placed a kiss on it. “Thank you.
The Alpha King's Last Wish 40: The deal
Mia shut herself up in the study after falling out with Xavier. It was the only place that gave her a little privacy in the palace. It was also the place that had the Xavier scent in abundance.Yes, they had a massive fight this morning, even though they shouldn’t have. Xavier had woken up first, and he seemed to have stayed awake thinking about ways to piss her off. When she woke up, he asked her to leave their chamber. He wanted to throw her out the same way he did months ago. He didn’t want her with him anymore, and when she asked why he wanted that, he asked if she wasn’t tired of him yet.That annoyed her, and she asked what that was supposed to mean. She was his mate, wife, and queen; this was her duty. Leaving him now when he needed help didn’t seem like something a true mate would do. Then he told her he wanted her to leave him.He told her if she loved him like she claimed, she would leave him alone in the chamber. He also told her he was doing her a favour since she had refu
The Alpha King's Last Wish 41: Mother
Mia didn’t think she heard clearly when Edward said he was here to summon the moon goddess herself and make a deal with her.The moon goddess wasn’t one to make deals. That was not her nature.It was also almost impossible to summon her.She was fair to all her children and did not consider one better. Coming to Edward’s call and even granting a deal would mean she wasn’t a fair goddess. At least, that was what Mia grew up believing.Still, she didn’t want to stop Edward from trying. He was already drawing the floor with the white rock he found earlier, and after he finished, he proceeded to draw a few other elements that would complete the seal.When he finished, he looked up at her as if asking if she had any second thoughts. This was for Xavier, and for him, she would try everything.She shook her head, and he nodded and sat on the floor where he had drawn the seal. He closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and began chanting. She stood there, watching him and wondering if
The Alpha King's Last Wish 42: A way out
The goddess stood staring at Edward with her teeth clenched, then her eyes moved to Mia, who had become speechless since this battle of words began. Her eyes grew warm. “Mia.”“Is it true?” She asked in a small voice as she stared at her. “Are you my mother?”“I am the mother of all creation.”Mia’s teeth clenched, and she glared at her. “Are you my mother?” she shouted at her.The goddess pressed her lips together and said, “Yes, you are my child.”Growing up, Mia always felt different and didn’t know why. She didn’t understand why she looked so different from her father, mother, and sister. Her father always told her she was his, and though rumours flew as she was a child, he permanently silenced her doubt by reminding her she was his. He never let her believe otherwise; learning the truth had made her make sense of many things.“After the child was born by Layla Ainsworth called Xavier Ainsworth, I knew he had much magic in his blood, and he would never have a seed with anyone.
