Call me Alpha

Chapter 58.5

Aiden’s POV

“I expected you to, Aiden.” said the Alpha King Zeron. “I will give you time to discuss this matter with your mate. I’ll be back in an hour and meet you and your Luna at this serene place.”

Discuss this with Ashira? Should I…?

“One last question, Your Highness, if I may.” I bowed my head to him as my jaw tightens. I didn’t gave it a thought to discuss this matter with Ashira, I know she will not like it because of the current state of her mind right now.

She don’t believe me or anyone. She might think I’m the one who’s stealing her.

“Of course, my brave wolf.”

I looked up and saw him and his eyes smiling again. I’m beginning to think that when he tries to control his annoyance, he does that smile.

“If I disagreed, what it is you might do?”

I watched his face with that overly faked smile and it took a while before he moved or utter a word.

“I will still take your pup’s strength, might kill you in the process and you and your Luna will not be graced of the gift I offer.”

Zeron didn’t take the smile off his face as he said the words. I knew it. Everything he does is formality, not a genuine type of helping out. His aura haven’t change, its still dark and heavy. If anything, its just getting heavier.

“Now, I believe I’ve made myself clear.” he continued. The smile he plastered on his face had faded in such a fast transition and I’ve never seen a deadly pair of eyes looking at me the way he does. “You will give me what I want and be grateful I’m giving you something in return.”

My hands formed a fist but before I could say anything he was gone together with a strong wind. Teleportation, the power solely blessed to the Alpha King.

An hour.

I sighed, tugging my hair tight as I could. What should I do?

I want this, right? I will have Ashira back, her smile, her feelings, her memories of me. Everything. But is it worth in exchange for my pup’s strength? Curing Ashira, is there anything much important than that?

An hour and the Alpha King will be back.

An hour…

“Why’d you suddenly call for me? I’m still working at the Hall--Oh.” Nick stopped and looked around the room, realizing I’m not having a meeting with him alone. I also called for Zynia to come and Zeke dragged himself along. “What happened?”

I asked for them to come in my office and discuss the matter at hand with them. This is not necessary but I’ve made up my mind.

I will keep this a secret to Ashira and I want them to know about it for future reference.

“The Alpha King visited me today.” I started. I narrowed my eyes at Nick because he looked like he was about to burst and scream, luckily he got my message. “He will lift the curse and bring back Ashira to her usual self, away from Elon, away from all those pain-”

“And you believed him?” Zeke snorted. “I heard that man is a freak. With all that power, the wires in his mind might have snapped.”

“Don’t believe in rogue rumors, son.” Zynia looked at me. “Alpha Aiden, I believe if the Alpha King said he can lift the curse, then he might have the ability to do so. There is nothing impossible to the King. His power is next to the Moon Goddess, as the myth says.”

The Alpha King himself announces that no enchantress is alive in this time that can help us. Zeron knew his people, he will know if someone as skilled to cure a stolen wolf exists. He govern the continent, all four regions and every wolf pack in the district.

“I didn’t doubt the King and his power. What troubled me is what he asked in return for lending a hand.” I sighed. “He desires to acquire the power of my unborn child.”

Zynia ang Nick gasped while Zeke hissed.

“And you agreed to this offer?” Zeke looked at me with accusing eyes. The other two waited for my answer and I closed my eyes as I lean to my chair.

“I did.”

Zynia gasped as her hand closed his mouth.

“Oh, man.” Nick bowed and touched his head, avoiding to look at me.

I expected this reaction from them. I knew, just like them, Ashira won’t like the decision I just made.

*THUD*

I fell from my seat as a fist landed on my jaw. I didn’t saw Zeke’s action because of being drowned in my own thoughts and now he hovered above me.

Another punch was coming and I closed my eyes, letting him hit me. I deserve this, maybe more.

“You fucker!” Another punch. “I expected better from you than be a pawn to that manipulative person-” Another one.

Damn, it stings.

“Hey, hey, stop now, buddy.” Nick pulled Zeke away from me while Zynia helped me sat up.

I could taste blood inside my mouth, Zeke did a great job punching my face. It’s been a while since I got beaten up and I didn’t expect that my cousin will be the one to do it.

“Let me go!” Zeke shouted but Nick hold on to him tighter.

“There’s no point in fighting, Zeke!” Zynia shouted. “Keep your hands to yourself, we can talk about this without unnecessary force.”

“You!” Zeke pointed at me. “I don’t know Ash well but you should given it a thought of what she wants! You know her better!”
