Lady Nifra walked through the halls, purpose in her every step. The halls with their paintings of sunlight blurred as she walked by. She hated these paintings. None of them could ever compare to the feel of the warm paintings even more because they made him even more melancholic.

But she can’t take them down. It’s the one thing keeping him going, at least.

She reached the private wing of the alpha of alphas. The guards at the giant doors bowed and opened the doors.

His private wing was cut off from the rest of the pack house, and very few people were allowed inside. Only lady Nifra could go into his private chambers like his bedroom and study. The rest of the rooms in his wing were only allowed for maids and servants to come in. And even then, none of thein would remember they had been there.

So many years of being with him had fine tuned Lady Nifra’s senses to the presence of her king. She could feel him on a level that was beyond physical. She liked to think that it was his emotions she was feeling, but she knew that wasn’t the case.

He didn’t have any emotions for her to feel.

As she got closer to the study, she could feel the subtle vibrations in the air get closer and denser. She got to the door of his study and drew in a heavy breath.

No matter how many times she saw him, she could never be fully prepared to face him.

Your majesty,” She called, her voice loud and clear. “May I come in?”

“Yes. His voice carried from the other side, soft and deep.

Squaring her shoulders, Nifra opened the doors and walked into his study. She spotted him on the couch reading a book. His demeanor was relaxed, his hair flowed down his body and onto the couch. He calmly flipped over the page, the sound of it cutting though the tense air.

There was always this atmosphere around him. He was like a black hole, powerful and drawing everything to him, devouring it with nothing left behind. His presence was strong and intimidating, and every time Nifra has to steel herself so she wouldn’t falls to her knees. Even when he was relaxed, dressed in a robe and reading a cheesy romance novel, he commanded respect.
