Her Forbidden Alpha King novel Chapter 7

~~~ Allaya ~~~

** “She has to die!”

“That child is a nefarious creature which will bring destruction by drawing the wrath of Gods and the grudge of our ancestors!”

“The child will bestow misfortune on all of us!”

Their atrocious shouts are sharpening as we edge near the sinister castle pertaining to the Council of Magical Creatures.

Why are their judgements so bloodthirsty, what do they know about us? Nothing.

“The rules are very clear, why didn’t they follow them?”

“Yes, this would not have happened if they just respected our laws!”

“Kill her!”

“Kill her along with her abominable child!”

“Nooooooooo!”I cry out with the little strength I have left. “It’s just an innocent child!” My tone low, my voice shattered, I utter the words while holding my big belly, there is no one that will come and save us, no one… **

As though I’ve lost any ability to move my body, I’m awake, the dream flashing through my mind as a movie trailer, I cannot pull the plug on it.

The voice of my father muttering some strange chants is getting clearer and clearer, I must still be sleeping, how do I wake up from this?

“Father, did you say something?” I exert to open my heavy eyes, blinking the headache away.

“Yes, sweet baby, I said that I’m glad you came home for a few days. Your mother and I missed you. It’s getting late, don’t you want to have brunch with me and your mother?”

It did not sound like the things I’ve heard coming from his mouth, but then again, I don’t know what is real anymore. I might have imagined things.

“I’m… I’m not hungry yet.” I utter, running my hand through my hair in frustration.

He nods. “Okay, whenever you want, come downstairs.”

After pressing a kiss on my forehead, he steps out of my room, leaving me alone with my bitterness. Two weeks have passed since I last saw Hayden.

And Landon.

I refused to visit that club or any other one after the last events. And I returned home because I missed the feeling of security my room provides; Elena is gone anyway.

Mood swings are hurting my head, and nobody is able to keep up with me. I go from sorrow to desolation, misery and then despair in a matter of minutes.

To sum it up, I’m a wreck, too many things happened to me in too little time. I’m just a human after all, there’s a limit to what I can tolerate.

And to add a cherry on top of everything, I can’t take my mind of that moment yesterday when out of nowhere, my parents gave me the most fabulous gift ever. A lovely long dress, princess style, which I instantly adored because it’s not my birthday yet, so for a second, I thought that I’ve received something for no particular reason.

But I was wrong, so wrong for they soon briefed me that it is someone else’s birthday and we have to attend.

And whose birthday would that be?

Of all the people I’d expect to invite us to a party, this one I didn’t even bother to consider. It’s Hayden’s birthday and that’s the outfit I’ll wear to celebrate him tonight.
