I entered my room slamming the door shut behind me. How could he? When it was clear that father was killed by them… Ok maybe there was no proof, but he was killed weeks after this very Alpha threatened to kill him? Moreover, the Alpha King’s showing up like this was enough proof that they could easily sneak in. Did no one see this?

 

I sat down on my bed, gripping the mattress as I glared at the floor. My chest heaving, my emotions a storm within me.

heart skipped a beat. The Alpha King… He didn’t need a name tag or a crown to tell me that the man before me was a king. He exuded power like it was nothing, the arrogance and pride on his handsome face clear from across the room. He was built and was a lot more muscular than any vampire there. A body that had been made to perfection, from his delicious chocolate coloured skin to his small beard that defined his prominent jawline and the earring that glinted with every small movement of his head, captured my attention. My heart thudded when those piercing hazel eyes snapped towards me. Our eyes locked and my breathing quickened. His eyes
