《Alpha King's✔️》Chapter 26
Advertisement
I was sitting in the dining room full of people chatting and smiling around me. The girls were engaging in conversation, the kings were eating and drinking and I was just sitting there. "Eat Arabella" I heard the king say next to me.
I picked up some bread and took a bite, my stomach thanking me that I had given it something. The king placed his hand on top of mine on the table and started stroking his thumb to give me some kind of comfort I think. I just looked away and ate more bread which only made him sigh beside me. "Master Jaxson" I heard Amber say, she was sitting at his right side and I was at his left of the table.
He nodded his head at her and she took a deep breath "Will you be requesting someone's presence tonight? I'd be happy to help with your needs." She said looking into his eyes with desperation. I nearly laughed. Key word nearly. I had not laughed in so long I thought to myself.
"I do not request your desperation." He said in a low tone to her.
Her face turned red like a tomato and she looked angry but put her head down and ate her food.
"Attention everybody ." The king said and stood up letting go of my hand.
"As you know the annual ball is coming up and it is our turn to hold the celebration this year. We will hold the ball in 5 days. I expect you to be on your best behaviour. My brothers you will pick one girl to take and the rest will be servants, do not disrespect me when I am holding a celebration for my people" king Jaxson said with a warning growl coming out in the end. "Brothers we will have a meeting tomorrow about who you chose. You may now leave" He spoke and with that I started to leave the table "Sit back down Arabella" Jaxson said looking in my direction.

I sat down on my seat and watched all the others escape lucky them. "I want you to be by my side the night of the ball, as you are my beloved and the people must know" he said kneeling in front of me. I just gave him a confused look "Arabella you will be by my side ruling this kingdom, I promise I will never ever lay a finger on you again nor will I hurt you. I know I've done everything wrong and I know you don't like me which makes my beast sad that we have hurt our beloved. I can not change the past. My actions were not of a king. I let jealousy get the best of me but from now on you are my number one priority" He finished and looked deeply into my eyes and I only just started processing his words. I was confused at his speech, why would he say sorry to me. "Please Arabella I know you're in there. Let me make you happy again" he said and took hold of my hand.
I looked at him "I hate you" I spat at him and he smiled at me.
"She speaks" he laughs and pick's me up carrying me bridal style to my horrible purple room. We walked into the room and the colour had been changed it was yellow. How did he know?
"I know you didn't like the purple, your face told me every time you stepped into the room" he said and laughed "So I asked around and a guard told me your favourite colour is yellow he remembers you saying it in the dungeon." He finished talking and let me down. I looked around the room, it wasn't the same colour as Jack's eyes but it would do. I let the tears run down my face and I turned around to face him "What's wrong do you not like it? Did I do it wrong?" He asked himself running a hand through his hair looking stressed.

"Why are you being nice to me?" I asked him, I was ready to die now anyways he could do what he pleased I had nobody.Nothing to lose.
He looked at me and walked closer so he was right in front "I'm trying to say sorry Arabella for all my actions. I know this doesn't come close but everyday I will try my hardest and replace horrible memories with good ones" he said and stroked my cheek. "I hate seeing you like this, it hurts myself because I know this is all my fault. I did this and it's only me to blame" he said and walked out the room.
What is going on? First he apologies now he wants me to rule his kingdom by his side. That will never happen. I hate him with every bone in my body, if only I knew how to hurt him like he hurt me.
Enough thinking about all this shit I need to bath. So I did and it felt heavenly it was the first time in ages I had forgotten the world around me.

Two years later he still battles with the grief. The storm is back. And Heron finds a man trapped unconscious in the middle of the cold winds. His vital signs are odd and the only thing he remembers is his name : Davir.Heron provides Davir with medical care and finds in the stranger the opportunity to have a pawn in the royal guard. An alibi to buy himself liberty from the control of the ruling council of the capital. An indebted man is a man easy to persuade, and Davir acts as intended. As a popular rebellion against the Monarchy festers in the capital, Heron's new-found liberty soon leads him to cross paths with the rebels. An unsettling discovery comes to the surface: he'd been lied to about the death of his mother by the ruling council. Suspicious that he's, too, a pawn trapped in a tangle of political interests he cares little for, Heron is determined to get to the bottom of the secrets kept from him. Davir's military abilities could be of great help. Davir, too, needs Heron's ressources to discover his forgotten identity. An alliance between the two is then formed. But the clues leading to Davir's past point toward where they shouldn't : the rebellion and dark, sinful, supernatural arts of soul eaters.____________________________________©Copyright A. Gonçalo.
