Alpha King’s Special Soulmate

THEME: death of a spy

DONIA KINGDOM

(Alpha King Sky’s Point Of View)

I clasped my hands together and leaned back into my throne seat to listen to more of his words.

“I am not sorry to say this alpha king, your warriors aren’t trained and you are lagging behind in terms of security. And it is obvious you only get ready and prepared when there is war.” The prisoner shook his head in pity.

“Why did you say so?” I demanded.

“Isn’t the answer obvious? A mere spy was able to break into your territory and act like a guard for two days. I would have escaped and succeeded in my mission which would have earned me a great reward from my alpha if that guard on patrol has not suspected that I don’t have a Donia warrior mark on me.” The prisoner’s forehead creased as he said that. “Too bad for a kingdom.” He did the tsk tsk sound. “I had even spoken to the head of warriors but he didn’t suspect anything. He even showed me where to get dinner as a warrior.” He added.

I exchanged glances with Cullen who immediately avoided the eye contact.

“A piece of advice, this man isn’t fit the title of being the head of warriors.” The prisoner said with a serious look.

I clenched my fists and let out a low growl to silence the prisoner. For the first time I saw the fear in his eyes which was caused by my alpha presence and he kept quiet.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Forgive me my Lord.” General Cullen bowed.

There is no way I would strip him off his title because of a little mistake of not noticing a spy. He had been a great help to me at war times. He was my father’s personal bodyguard before his death. As soon as I became the alpha king, I made him the head of warriors due to his trained skill and loyalty to the kingdom.

“You must have too many tasks on your desk for you not to have noticed a spy in our midst.” I said.

“Forgive me my Lord.” General Cullen gave me an apologetic look.

The prisoner laughed and it echoed throughout the hall. “My alpha would have killed him for such a mistake.. right here.. with his bare hands.” He scoffed.

“Is that how cruel your so called alpha is?” I asked. Maybe I was close to knowing his alpha.

“My alpha isn’t weak. The prisoner replied.

Anger crashed over me as he indirectly referred to me as weak. My wolf became impatient, all it wanted was to lunged at the man and kill him without mercy. But I can’t do that, I have to know his alpha! And my wolf withdrew reluctantly at my decision.

“I’ll ask you for the last time, who is your alpha?” I demanded with a stoney expression on my face.

The prisoner gave me a mock smile but it disappeared as soon as it had appeared. “Order your men to kill me because I won’t disclose my alpha’s identity.” He said seriously.

“I won’t hold back -”

“You aren’t fit for that throne!” The prisoner blurted out.

Everyone in the hall gasped out in shock at his words. I clenched my fists, knuckles almost cracking as he said those words.

“How dare you say such words to your king?!” I growled out, my eyes turning black, veins budging at the sides of my neck as I fought the urge to not let my wolf come out in the open.

Everyone bowed their heads at my alpha tone. The already knew the worst was to come whenever o switch into this tone. I wasn’t in control anymore but my alpha wolf was on surface. “As the only son of alpha king Malcolm, I am the rightful successor to the Donia Throne!” I snarled angrily.

What gut does he have to belittle me like that?! I seethed my teeth and passed my judgment.

“You trespassed into my territory and spy on my kingdom! A great offense in our world! You have spoken blasphemy against your king! Another offense purely against the lycan law!” I paused, sensing the strong alpha aura radiating around the room.

“You are hereby sentenced to death!” I passed my judgment.

The throne hall was silence but it soon faded when the prisoner laughed it off. “Just like your cruel and incapable father! You just sentenced me to death but I won’t beg you to spare my life like a coward that you are-alpha king Sky!” He grimaced.

I couldn’t hold back my wolf anymore. In a swift movement, I stood up from my throne, pulled out a sword strapped on the nearest warrior’s body and I stabbed the prisoner in his belly. His eyes widened in shock, not expecting his death to be from my hands. Whoever sent him must have told him to say those words to me if he ever gets caught.

“I can forgive anything but speaking ill of my father I won’t accept!” I gritted in anger.

The prisoner coughed out blood and he glanced down at the weapon in his belly when I pushed it in deeply. “When you are dead, lead your spirit back to your pack and relay this message to your alpha. Tell him, I, alpha ling Sky will find him and destroy his whole pack!” I snarled.

“Y.. Yh.. Yhoouu.. wi.. will.. never… fi.. fin.. d.. h.. im.” The prisoner smirked.

I stepped backward and pulled out the sword from his belly. “Rot in hell!” Then I ripped off his head with the sword and the rest of his body dropped to the ground. His filthy blood staining the white marble in the hall. And everywhere was silent.

General Cullen passed me a towel to wipe my hand. “Any pack mark on his body?” I asked.

A warrior ripped off a part of the deceased clothes. “There is a mark on his body.” He answered.

General Cullen moved closer to check it. “I have checked his body during interrogation. It is dragon mark which belonged to the Donia Pack but he never admitted it that he is a Donia member.”

I moved closer to confirmed the mark on his shoulder. “It has faded.” I frowned on seeing the light mark on the body. A pack mark never fails except if a female wolf marries another pack member and bonds with her mate.

I walked back to my throne and wiped my hand with another clean towel. “I want to know who sent him. But for now, let us hold Crescent pack as the prime suspect.” My voice echoed in the throne hall.

No doubt, alpha Zion sent him to spy on my kingdom to see if there was a way to take away my kingdom. He had done it during my father’s reign and I am sure he won’t stop until he have my throne.

“Clean up this mess, and have someone send his head to Crescent pack for alpha Zion to know that his spy failed his mission.” I ordered.

“Yes my Lord.” General Cullen bowed before giving out instructions to his men and they carried out the dead body.

Maids walked in to mop the hall and in no time everywhere was clean again with no smell of blood in the air. This is the first time a prisoner would be killed in the throne hall since I became the alpha king.

My dad did it severally because most of the wolves sent as a spy at that time had foul tongue and wouldn’t give respect to him. I wonder how much the so called alpha would give them to disrespect a whole alpha king who is greater than the alpha himself.

“Do any of you have anything else to say to the alpha king?” Eunuch Cole directed his questions to the officials.

Old Ben who is my uncle raised his hand. We call him Old Benjamin because he is the oldest official in the Donia Court. “Speak Old Ben.” I rubbed my temples.

He cleared his throat. “Your Highness, killing a member of the Crescent pack without proper investigation means war.”

My eyes darkened once again at his words. “You know the rules and laws of the Lycan world better than any of us! So all you have to say is war? Killing a prisoner means war? Even after that imbecile crossed my territory!” I snarled.

“Your highness-”

“Speak no more, old Ben. This is a clear case of trespassing as blasphemy! And I can’t overlook the fact that he called me weak and referred to my late father as being incapable!” I added furiously.

Old Ben bowed slightly. “Forgive me, my lord. I didn’t mean to say such words.”

“If it is war, then so be it!” I spat.

The officials began to murmur among themselves. “Silence!” Eunuch Cole shouted and they all kept quiet.

I shook my head at the murmurings of my officials at the mention of war. “You bunch of cowards!” They all kept their head down but before then I saw the glint of fear and embarrassment on their faces. I stood up from my throne and walked to the center of the room. “I should consider changing my cabinet. If you are all afraid of war then step out now!” I growled out. No one stepped out because they are afraid to lose their titles.

“If you are ready for war then gather information about Crescent pack, bring up tactics to get over alpha Zion once and for all without breaking the werewolf rule. Let us meet tomorrow by dawn!” I said finally.

“This meeting is adjourned till tomorrow. Long live the alpha King!” Eunuch Cole called out.

“Long live the king!” The officials chorused as I walked out of the throne hall to my chambers.
