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
The Alpha King's Last Wish 55: Short-lived victory
Xavier could hear his heart pacing as he ran towards where Damien, the king of Foth, stood with about three dozen of his guards as protection.Such a coward.He wanted to wreak havoc on Damien and see the fear in his eyes before he snuffed the light away.Yes, they were just seven warriors, but these seven warriors were stronger than average. Aeon had the strength of six mighty soldiers combined, and Xavier could still take on the same number at once, despite his weakness. The queen also wielded strength beyond most imaginations, as did Alpha Zayn, who had just lost his best friend, Alpha Chado, in the war. They were all men scorned by the king of Jade, wanting a fair share of the price."Since you have almost lost this battle, you are here to see if you can take me down instead." King Damien said from where he stood on higher ground, shielded by his soldiers."That is exactly what I am doing, so why don't you come out and face me one-on-one?""That will not be a fair fight then, beca
The Alpha King's Last Wish 56: Thank you and farewells
Three hours after they returned from the black cove, Mia sat beside Xavier in bed with his hand in hers. She sat, thinking about all the years they had spent together as mates. It was the best she ever had; he was the best mate the moon goddess could have given.Watching him now broke her heart, and there was no way of consoling it. This was where they would give up.There was no game plan, and there was no escape.This was the end.She wiped the tear that rolled down her face and sniffed the rest.“Thank you for the happiest years of my life.” She began to speak. I can still remember how it used to be, and I remember how it is now. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, but I am happy I spent the time I did with you.”She felt warmth in her hand, and she glanced at it before looking up at Xavier and seeing his lashes lifting. His amazing emerald eyes settled on hers, and for a moment, she forgot to breathe. He was the definition of perfection on foot. He has always been her
The Alpha King's Last Wish 57: A way
“How was it?” Xavier asked, as Mia stepped into their chambers and silently made her way to the wardrobe to change out of her robe.She had worn a two-piece black, easy-to-remove robe for the funeral rite at the black cove. She had now taken off the first piece.She turned to him and said, “It went well, but the kingdom took a massive loss. So many sons and daughters would never get a shot at life because they laid it down for the kingdom’s cause.”“It was a great price, and they knew this before joining the warrior’s institute.” He answered.“I do not know how I would feel if those were my boys.” She mumbled under her breath, and he heard.“War is the last thing anyone ever wants. But if the inevitable occurs, we must do whatever it takes to preserve the land. You know this.”She nodded. “Yes. I do, and I understand. I wish there were another way.” She turned to him.He mumbled his agreement under his breath.“How do you feel?” she asked, stepping towards the bed.“I feel like I have
