The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 145

Kate was escorted outside the house by Ethan. He opened the car door for her and she got into her car and began driving away. She could see him in her mirror, standing on the driveway, watching longingly with his beautiful eyes and she

immediately envisioned what it felt like when his lips were deep into hers. Her lips parted as she lost herself and tried to escape her wonderful reverie.

What was happening to her?

Was this what love felt like? Was it even possible that she could feel love?

Finally, in the distance, he disappeared and her heart skipped a beat, already missing him.

Doing the impossible, meeting him in broad daylight was impossible. And even if magic could do it, a huge sacrifice would have to be paid to just be able to stand in the sun without being scorched to death. Yes, that’s it, black magic.

After a few hours of driving and she approached the trail leading directly to the castle.

She stepped out of her car and treaded carefully there. She trudged up the hill and rushed through the door impatiently.

“I want to walk in the sun,” she started. Her voice swept the air as her eyes scanned the ends of the passageways. Halomir emerged from the corner in the dark, casting

a malevolent look into her eyes.

She was determined and focused. She knew what she wanted. She stepped in front of him daringly. “I will do whatever it takes”

“It cannot be done girl,” he snarled at her.

“Please, Halomir, there must be a way,”

“I warned you to keep away from that human. Now he has infested your mind with madness,”

“I have never been saner. I know exactly what I am doing. I just need to replace a way to walk in the light of day when the sun rises tomorrow,” she begged. “Tell me there is a way,”

He thought for a moment then there curled a devilish smile on his face. “There is always a way, foolish child.”

Her attention was suddenly glued to his horrid eyes.

“What are you willing to sacrifice for this thing you seek?”

“Anything….”

“You will have to give up your soul,” he told her with a look that seemed to devour her weakness. “If you desire this thing, to walk in the light, then you will have to die and I will be the one to claim your soul when the sun goes down.” He told her.

There was fear in her eyes. Only a fool would take such an offer and he was fully convinced of that. He sat down in the corner. “That is why I said it cannot be done, girl”

Breathing, she said, “A moment with him is better than anything I’ve ever felt better in a lifetime. So, Halomir, like I said, I will do anything……” He said nothing.

“Do what needs to be done,” she told him, fully determined. This has always been

her eternal fate.

…

It was only a few hours before the break of day and Kate was

determined to spend every hour of this day and relish every moment she was going to have with him. She could not understand how this mortal being had managed to

get under her skin so quickly and make her concede to such a human emotion.

She breathed, excited and scared at the same time. She was scared of being so revealing and also because it would be her first time to allow a man to own her and spend a morning watching the rising sun together. She had only seen the bright

rays of the sun in her dreams and in her late-night visions but now, the time had finally come for her to feel human. She would let him touch her like any human woman would. She was determined to please him and make him stray off into

a world of no return.

She picked up her phone in the seat next to her and dialed his number. Now she was already shaking. The phone rang and he picked it up right away. She looked up from her seat, into the distance and watched, waiting for him to come out

of his house. Still, in her car, she waited as he came hurrying through the morning darkness from his house that was directly in her view. This was it. With her heart racing out of nervousness, she stepped out of her car and watched him coming.

Everything about him was breathtaking. But there was not enough time to waste here. She needed to see the rising sun, just like in her dreams.

Ethan reached her and took no time to embrace her tightly and pulling back, his bravery was dismissed by her fragrance. He was stunned, completely and he allowed himself to study the length of her. That dress she wore was made, no,

designed for a beauty befitting a goddess. He swallowed as he breathed her in and the look he gave her next made her heart thud repeatedly in her chest.

“You look absolutely breathtaking,” he managed.

The effect of his words caressed her exposed cleavage and she became timid immediately.

I knew you would come,” he added.

“I wouldn’t pass this day with you for the world.”

He took her hands gently. “I couldn’t sleep because of you”

“I couldn’t sleep either. Perhaps there is something we can do about that.” She leaned close to his ear and she said, “Take me to see the rising sun, and we shall lay

down and get as much sleep as we possibly want.”

She pulled him into the car and they drove away immediately.

There was a place in his mind that he could immediately think of. There the world seemed like a whole new universe. On a hill, looking out into the horizon, there could be seen a rift that wandered and rolled between distant mountains. The

shade, so richly cast by the mountain heights, gave enough time for the beauty to be carefully sketched as the sun emerged from between the mountainside.

They got to this place a while before the sun came up and they advanced to a nice quiet spot in the green grass, overlooking the rift yonder. They laid down a mat and nestled alongside each other.

When she lay down, her dress pulled up, framing her bare legs and she attempted to fix it but Ethan had already caught the full measure of the show. He smiled at her shyness. Curse the dress for embarrassing her.

Her eyes wandered from him, into the enlightening landscape, and she breathed in the smell of the air, “This is beautiful,” she confessed.

“Yes, it is. But wait until you see the sunrise,”

She turned to him, thoughtful, “Sounds like you’ve been here before,”

“Yes, many times. I come here to get this fulfilling sense of peace. I fell in love with this place ever since I set my eyes on it,”

“Well, have you been coming alone?” There was jealousy in the tone of her voice.

He turned to her reassuringly, “It is the first time I’ve brought anyone here,”

Instant relief settled in her eyes, “I almost thought there was a woman in your

life, a close friend maybe, whom you shared these precious moments with,”

“There is none,” he told her

“What about Danielle? You dated once a long time ago,”

He sat up, confused, “How do you know Danielle?”

“I know a lot of things that concern you,” she said.

He almost choked on nothing, “she is just my assistant now. Close to me yes, but still just my assistant,”

“That’s not how she sees things, Ethan”

He took her hands right away and his eyes claimed hers. “Listen to me; I only have eyes for you. There is no need to be jealous,”

“Why would I be jealous? I have no reason to claim you after all,”

Those words stung him right away. “I want you to be mine, do you not see that? You have every reason to claim me,” his voice went up a notch and his hands meant to grab her in fury.

At the peak of the moment, from the corner of their eyes, they could see a stronger light claiming the horizon. This was it. They turned there in unison and the gripping radiance of the morning sun gave the final announcement of its arrival.
