Alpha Khalid POV
My soul almost jumped out of me, as I behold his reflection on the mirror again. Oh not again! Who is he?
Gulping down the lump in my throat, I turned slowly to face my own image, which keeps taunting me, as I felt my heart, thumping heavily against my chest, like it was going to pop out anytime soon. Balls of sweats formed on my forehead, the atmosphere was quite ok, but all I feel, was heat upon heat. Staring into his cold eyes, made me almost urinate on my body. For the time, o forgot that I’m the same alpha Khalid, who everyone fears, I forgot that I’m the same man, who everyone worships like their lord, standing here, is a coward, a weak young ordinary man, almost begging to be spared. Just who is he, to be taunting me like this?
He kept glaring at me, with his eyes, which kept changing color, from blood shot red, to black, to yellow, and randomly. Looking into his dangerous eyes, all I see, is danger, anger, and nothing else, but death.
“Wh…. who are you?” I managed to ask, trying as much as not to let my fear consume me, but it was pointless, coz it already did.
He kept looking at me, not saying a word, as his aura kept consuming me, and I know I’m in for some shit.
“Khalid… are you there?” Came mother’s voice from outside, and I gulped down nothing. I glanced at the door, and back to my doom, standing before me, but he was nowhere to be found, and suddenly, I felt myself back to normal again, I felt my strength that left me moments ago, back into me again, I could feel my demon, alive inside me again, and I couldn’t help, but get more confused about the whole shit, that keeps happening everyday.
“Khalid?” Mother’s voice came on again, but this time, there was a trail of worry, sounding in it.
Letting out a sigh, I crashed my back on the wall, and threw my head back, as I closed my eyes, trying to take in, or process what just happened. This is the second time I’m going to see him, and it’s really confusing. The fact that he looks exactly like me, worsened the whole situation, as I just can’t bring myself, to reading meaning to the whole thing.
“I’m fine mother.” I finally said, after what seemed like forever.
“Ok, I’m going to make something for you son, I’ll be back.” Her voice came on from the room, followed by footsteps, and soon, I heard the door opened and closed, as I assumed she already left.
I had my bath, and wore my robe, before going back to my room. I’m not in the mood to see anyone around me, so I did my thing myself, after I dismissed all the maids.
After I was done dressing, I walked to my study, and picked out a book, before settling to read it, but kept getting distracted, if not thinking about Octavia, it’ll be the incident a few minutes ago, or the pains. Everything is just so damn confusing and annoying, I think I’m going to lose my mind, if I keep thinking about it.
The sound of the door opening, jolted me out of my trance, as a familiar scent filled my nostrils, Moon. Letting out a soft sigh, I closed my eyes briefly, trying to control the sudden anger that rushed through me. The last time I checked, I told everyone not to disturb me, so why the heck is she here?
“Your highness I…”
“Leave!” My demon howled, with my eyes still closed.
“I…”
I snapped my head to look at her in rage. My demon was already enraged, trying so hard to take over me, but I know best to keep him in check, knowing the havoc he’ll cause, if I let him have his way. I know he’s thirsty for blood, he want to feed on blood and flesh, but offering my own sister to her, is what you wouldn’t advise me to do, right?
She flinched, fear written all over, as tears welled up her eyes. She must really be hurt, but my demon didn’t care at that moment, he doesn’t care about what people feel, the only thing he listens to, is his emotions, which is always anger and destruction.
Turning around, she ran out of the study, with her hand covering her mouth.
Letting out a soft sigh, I dropped the book, and stood up, before teleporting to the woods. My brain is so messed up, I think I’ll be fine, after I get some fresh air, or do some hunting.
Appearing in the woods, I closed my eyes, and inhaled the beautiful air, but stopped midway, as a scent filled my nostrils, and immediately, my demon crawled out of me. Snapping my eyes opened, I was welcomed with the sight of huge werewolves and beast, surrounding me, with a dangerous look on their faces, ready to fight me…
Author POV
Back in the prison. Octavia stared at the figure, standing before her, and all she felt, was curiosity.
The figure finally unlocked the door, and in the next seconds, he or she was already inside, right in front of Octavia, and that was when she realized that the figure, standing before her, is actually a female, but her face remained hidden, as the whole place was dark, coupled with the fact that she was wearing a cloak, with the hoodie over head, making her face invisible.
Slowly, the mysterious woman in cloak, drew near her, pointing to her, the dagger, which she’s holding.
Meanwhile, Octavia remained on her spot, anticipating for death, as she felt that her dream was finally coming through, but what hurts her, is the fact that she never got to see the people she love and cherish, especially her parents, she just wished she could see them one more time, and tell them good bye, before embracing her death, but she know that those were only wishes that’ll never come through for her.
The mysterious woman finally got to her, and raised the dagger, ready to stab her…
