The Alpha King's Last Wish 47: Scars left
It was barely morning when Ace heard movement in his room. His eyes snapped open, already becoming alert. Ever since the incident at Shelled, he has become extra conscious, even in his sleep. He woke to little movement, and even a change in the wind would wake him up.He would never go back to the unguarded person he once was, at least not until the war was over. He sat in bed, and his eyes glowed in the dark, wanting to know who was now in his room. Judging from the steps alone, whoever it was, seemed relaxed—maybe clumsy.They didn’t seem like attackers. Yet he couldn’t trust them. The footsteps came to his door, and they stopped moving.When the door cracked open, Ace was already on his feet, ready for an attack. Clumsy or not, someone was in his room in his house, and they were uninvited. It was his duty to protect himself and his home from everything.As the door opened wide, Ace moved swiftly to it, yanked the hand of the intruder, and pulled them into the room. He was about to
The Alpha King's Last Wish 48: Last day
Xavier woke up to see Mia already awake and lost in thought. His arms came around her waist and pulled her closer to himself, releasing a long sigh.“Good morning, my love.” He said and kissed her shoulders.She squirmed and turned to face him in his arms. “Good morning, darling.”“It doesn’t look like a good morning for you; you are already up.” He pointed out and kissed her shoulders again.She buried her face in his hairy chest to hide the redness thereon. “I was thinking.”“About?”“The coming war and what to do with Kim and Lyon?”“We already discussed this. The two, along with the rest of the children, ages 10 to 1, will stay at the high tower until the war ends.” He reminded her of the decision they made about this same issue, and she nodded.“But we do not know how long the war will last. They are children and are more than a thousand; the High Tower cannot be their home. We do not know what tricks the soldiers from Foth wield, and we cannot make that our last resort.”“What d
The Alpha King's Last Wish 49: Scores to settle
Xavier arrived at the palace to find Mia and Alpha Chado waiting for him. Being the alpha of security, he had been on the shores along with a dozen of the king’s men on guard, focusing on the ships coming from Foth. Their duties were to report the advancement of the ship so they wouldn’t be caught off guard.His presence now meant that the ships were not less than a few hours away from shore.“It is time to move to the black cove.” Alpha Chado said.Xavier didn’t have to be told twice before gathering the rest of the king’s men in the palace together to depart.They came to the palace compound, and a large portal opened before them, and Xavier knew who it was. Edward.He was the only one left to join the feast of blood they called war. He had returned days ago to report King Aeon’s agreement to send soldiers. Then later, back to Jade to bring the soldiers.He didn’t step through immediately, but the soldiers holding the banners of Jade stepped through the opening, marching out in tens
The Alpha King's Last Wish 50: Failure and blames
Edward watched as Kailani played with Kim while answering Lyon’s questions with a straight face. Some of his questions had taken her off guard, and they had been at it for over thirty minutes; he knew that because that was how long he had been watching them.He watched them.He watched her many nights and days while he was away.When Xavier assigned him the mission to Jade, he had thought she would stop him; that would mean being too far apart. She was in Foth, and at least in Wahala, he saw her, portaling in and out. Now, in Jade, he didn’t have that much privacy or time to do all that. He thought she would rebel and tell him how much she needed him. But he should have known who his mate was; she wasn’t built like other maidens.A part of him wished she was, though; he wanted her to desire his presence more or at least show that she did, and it hurt every time she showed a bold face.Perhaps he was at fault; he had trained her for years to survive without him because he saw them apar
The Alpha King's Last Wish 51: The beginning
Xavier pondered everything even as he waited for the force of Foth to assemble at the black cove. Aeon was right; if he hadn’t agreed to give Damien a fair shot at this war, he would have had the upper hand and already wrecked enough damage. Was it pride talking when he made that agreement? Did his anger at every sneaky tactic the King of Foth has used so far make him decide recklessly? He wouldn’t know.Assembled here at the black cove were twenty thousand soldiers of the three kingdoms combined. The enemies coming against them were estimated at fifty thousand soldiers, but he knew they could take them on because that was what they had trained for in the last few years. He had seen this day; he had seen this war over and over. For a while, he thought he wouldn’t be a part of it, but here he stood, about to lead the bloodiest battle ever known in the history of the four kingdoms.“The army from Foth and the slaths approach!” Sir Duncan sounded the alarm, and the army of Wahala fell in
The Alpha King's Last Wish 52: No backing down
“Did you see that?” Edward asked Xavier as he saw the next batch of the Foth army form their formation.Xavier had also noticed this and wanted to engage in another attack tactic. They were already before their enemy, and formulating a plan now felt wrong on many levels.“The ones we just eliminated only had ground-level training. The ones we are coming up against now are the slath army, and Damien has over fifty thousand of them at his disposal. This is where the war begins.” Ace answered even though Edward didn’t ask him the question.He was the right person to respond because, though Xavier could see, he couldn’t do well with the explanation.“What do we do then?” Edward asked, turning his attention to Ace.“Prepare ourselves; the slath army, unlike the Foth soldiers, does not have any fighting tactics. Their only aim is to kill as many as they can before being they die.” Ace answered before adding, “Our soldiers trained specifically because of this enemy,” in the form of assurance
The Alpha King's Last Wish 53: Losing
The last batch of the Foth army approached, coming out of the shadow to stand a few feet away from them. Like before, they stood in no formation, only holding their daggers and weapons.“So, do we attack?” Alpha Koz asked after a while, and no attack was made.“We wait for them to attack,” Xavier answered.Koz’s eyes narrowed at him. “We waited for them to attack earlier, and they took down almost all of our men.”“I know that,” Xavier answered.Koz frowned at him. “And you want us to wait.”“Yes, it is our only play,” Xavier told him.Koz didn’t want to do that, but he had no choice; the king made the rules, and they had to follow them.They returned to silence, so that the only sounds being heard were the heavily beating hearts of the soldiers on the field.“Fuck this!” Koz cussed under his breath and charged towards the army of Foth, standing and waiting for them.“Koz!” Xavier yelled at him, but he didn’t stop.Koz’s attack was reckless and not calculated, but he wanted his death
The Alpha King's Last Wish 54: Last dance
Edward saw Ace pass out on the battlefield and knew he had to return to the field and physically fight this war.Ace was the only other person with magic out there, and though he was still there, he was out.From this point at the black cove, he didn’t need to watch his back. He could see everyone from up here. As limited as it seemed, he knew this was safe for him. However, much was at stake, and he would provide great help down there.A part of him was scared. After his deal with the dark dimensions ended, he promised not to overbear himself with his powers, but this war asked for just that. He didn’t want to go down the path of no return. He still wanted to go home when this was all over and meet his mate, and together, they would have a happy life. That was if he survived this war. Pushing himself over the limit will rip it all away.He had no choice, though; they were losing. Chado was down, as were Alpha Grey and Ace. Xavier was barely holding on, and he was doing so because his
