32. Our Legacy

ALEJANDRO.

He stares at me, his piercing blue eyes widening in shock.

Hah, fucker. For once I surprised you. (6

But I fucking mean it. I believe he is the best for this position.

Dante has enough on his shoulders without having to deal with the council and all the other things that a king must do. Leo is the right one for this position, his intellect, his self-control, his mindset. They are king material.

I know that even after I’m gone, they will continue to keep those bonds. Brothers. 13

“What? The fuck no. I can’t do that shit.

No.” He stands up, shaking his head and I cock a brow.

“I know it’s a lot to take on… Nobody wants

to be king, or the ones who are best for the job don’t want to, anyway. But you’re made for this title, Leo. There is no one better

suited.” I say, taking a drag on my cigarette.

“I truly feel that you will be the best for this position.”

“No, Dante is your son-

“)

“I fucking know he is, and so are you. I consider you all the same, but I once made it clear that those who fit certain positions

should be put in them. Dante will get this pack. He is the fucking Alpha. That is one position we can’t really give due to others as Alphas are the only ones who hold the alpha command.” I say firmly.

“But the position of king… that seat is yours.

Your intelligence is superior to anyone I

know and with what the future is currently

predicted to bring, we need you.” I continue.

“Dante is smart-”

“And he will be the one at the forefront of

battle because that’s his position. We know

that… but I need you to bind it all together when it feels like we will lose it all… I need

you to hold down this shit. Leo, your self- control, and your mindset in the craziest fucking moments are priceless. I don’t think even I can handle what is to come… but if

anyone can you, you and the next generation can.” I say quietly. 4

I don’t want to do this; I don’t want to say

what I know I might need to… 4

He shakes his head. “Rayhan. He’s smart,

he’s influential-”

“Na. The fucker’s forty. Bet he’ll have to retire before me.” I snicker, trying to lighten the mood, but it doesn’t phase or distract

him as he stares at me coldly.

Dude’s fucking got a glare on him. “Fine… Rayhan is smart, but no, he is our greatest tracker… I need him on the field.” I add.

“So you’re saying you expect me to sit back and send others to fucking war when the

time comes? You want me to be the one to

choose who will fucking die and who won’t?” he asks accusingly, as he advances on me, his eyes flashing steely blue.

“You want me to play the field, knowing I’m going to have to be the one to decide who I’m going to risk. You want me to be the one to tell every man or woman who loses their mate, that I’m fucking sorry, cus I sent their mate to their death? To look into the eyes of

those kids and know that I’m the one who orphaned them?

I didn’t think of it like that…

“Every death on that battlefield, their blood will be on my fucking hands. While I sit back? No.” He shakes his head firmly.

I shake my head. “No… but like you said earlier… A king’s job is far harder than that… You kids are the future of this planet Leo…

The legacies that will continue on the path that we have paved, to stand by those beliefs and values… Whilst paving your own paths to even greater heights.” I say quietly.

I place my hand on his shoulder. He’s glaring at the floor now. “Look at me, Leo.”

His head snaps up as he glares at me, and I give him a half smile. “I know it’s not easy to accept, but please, accept this position. I know I’m asking you for a huge sacrifice… I’m asking you to shoulder a huge burden… But for the sake of us all… will you accept it?” 1

shakes his head but I

help you I’ll be there, behind you as your fucking shadow and I’ll do it all but I don’t want the/title. Please.” He’s practically begging me and I can see the young boy that still lives inside of

putting others first… thinking of sending others to their deaths and yet… he is willing to help, receiving nothing in

approval.
