The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 148

Ethan only saw the woman he loved and nothing else. He hustled to her side immediately, but she took a step back, deliberately. Now he was confused.

She looked past his shoulders to the servants and they left the foyer. She was afraid of something. She was in pain.

“Kate, I was about to go to you with my attorneys, is everything alright?” He attempted to calm her.

She shook her head. Her eyes were glistening with tears. “I have something I need to tell you,” Her voice came in quick trembles. “I know you won’t want to see me again after this,”

He stilled with concern. His focus was fixed on her quietly.

“I am not what you think I am,” she began, “I think it will be much easier if I showed you first.” She stretched out her hand. Her claws sprung out in his view and he could see it even in the darkness that surrounded them. She then sliced

the forearm of her other hand and a channel of b***d oozed profusely.

Ethan froze, His eyes wide and red. Then, immediately, he could see her skin pulling together in healing and in a moment the b***d was gone. Ethan’s breathing skyrocketed but still lost for words,

She said, “I was there when your parents died. It’s kind of hard to explain but I have been cursed with long life. I am the monster that caused the accident,”

Ethan was just standing there, unable to believe this for a while until he started shaking with rage. She stopped talking for a moment, oppressed by the gaze he had on her. She took a step

closer to him and he could only say,

“Leave now before I kill you with my bare hands.” His warning was calm but well-meant.

“Ethan, am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you this way.” She was crying. With speed, he grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall, she was taken back for a moment, she didn’t expect he was so strong. She did not attempt to fight him off, after all, she deserved this much.

“You’re a f*****g liar,” he cried. ” A f*****g liar,” his voice was hoarse, squeezing tighter. Kate wanted to cry.

The front door of his house swung open and Danielle came out running. She had heard the struggle from outside and she had peeked through the window only to see

Ethan is about to kill someone. The reason for her being here was that she had decided to tell him the truth about her feeling for him, that she can’t move on.

Ethan was going to kill her if he didn’t stop now. Danielle pushed him over and stood in front of the woman who she hardly knew as if defending her from him.

“Ethan, stop!” she screamed at him. She was seeing this side of him for the first time and it scared her too. His eyes were dark, really dark and she gasped, stepping away.

“Y- your eyes,” she breathed. Ethan blinked a few times, her eyes going back to normal.

He was breathing, heavily, and finally, he said to Kate, “I want you to go away from here. I don’t ever want to see your face ever again. If I do, I will kill you.”

It was all happening too fast and there was no telling the end of it. She should have told him the truth before things got this out of hand. She should have stopped before she got this dangerously involved. Now she just lost the only person

that could have truly loved her. Tears welled in her eyes as she ran out of the house. She never would have thought that love would be this painful.

An hour later, Kate was on a road to nowhere on foot. She could see no vehicles coming and the road pushed further than she could see. She embraced herself and she

willed herself to keep walking, one step at a time.

She had just lost Ethan to Danielle. Now there was nothing she could do. What was the point in continuing with this meaningless existence? She should just end her life right away. She couldn’t stop crying and it was all because of him. She was

out of her mind in starting this drama in the first place.

Kate looked up and someone was standing directly in her path, not a few feet away. She could recognize that face from anywhere, that horrid face.

“Hello, daughter….”

She said nothing. There was no time to run now. There was no use in running.

Her only reason for wanting to live had just been robbed of her and so she was going to gladly embrace this death.

“How long did you think you could hide from me?”

“As long as it took,” she told him, breathing heavily as she studied the length of him.

“So what now?….”

A few seconds of silence went by.

“You look just like your mother,” he told her, ignoring her words. “Am glad she is not alive to see what you have become,”

“I am a monster today because of you, Father. Your curse was passed on to me. I didn’t choose to be born like this,” she was slowly losing her calmness. “I have been trying to replace a cure ever since I realized that I was not like every other child. But

what I do not understand Father, is why you seek to end my life,”

“How many people have you killed? How many will never get to go home to their families because of you? I know because I too lost the love of my life, your mother. I sold my soul to have a chance to save my life. I should have let the people in my

days hang me to death but I chose life because I had your mother. And then she got pregnant with you……I realized the mistake I had made. Halomir had promised me

that I could not have a child but he was wrong.” He advanced to her side, “So you see daughter, you and I are an abomination. I have to kill that which I alone created and I shall have peace in ending my own life afterwards. I must not let you roam

the earth with a hope that must not be. There is no cure.” He told her.

“You can die alone, Father. You are just afraid that I can have that which you can never have, a normal life. I know I can replace happiness.”

“You are a fool….. There is no happiness,”

There came a strong wheel wind that dropped from the visible sky. It was huge and strong so much so that it almost sucked both of them in. They were hurled to the ground brutally and the air around them was now thick with dust. Kate

coughed, she struggled to get on her feet and when she did, she looked around to locate her father.

Something else caught her attention. Right there, in the middle of the road was standing Halomir harnessing the wind.
