Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

"Everyone is grieving over the loss of our King and Queen. We are sorry for you loss," Malcom, one of the Council member, said. Alex and I are currently sitting in the conference room with seven men and three women, who are all part of the Council.

"Thank you, Mr. Malcom," I said politely. Alex gave my hand a gently squeeze.

"When is the coronation?" Janette asked while bouncing in her seat. She looked like a giddy teenager who just asked to prom.

"Tomorrow evening," I answered.

"Alpha Road," Malcom said. "What are your plans for your pack?" Alex shifted uncomfortably.

'You don't need a decision now. We can figure it out another time,' I assured him through the mind-link.

"I'm aware that I have responsibilities as the King; but I also have responsibilities as the Alpha of my pack. I am not going to abandon them," he stated.
