BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

I shut my eyes tightly as the heavy gravity air blew over me, I was waiting for me to fall hard and shatter to the ground but it seemed like I wasn’t getting to the floor.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I gradually opened my eyes to notice that I was carried by someone who I couldn’t see, I could tell that it was a feminine figure but why couldn’t I see her face?, Not like it was really dark out here but her face looked so dark that I was getting scared of the whole situation.

And how possible is this!, She was flying without wings!, Is she my look alike or another weird creature?.

Soon we got to a thatched cottage with burning furnace inside, yeah I needed to go close to it and get warmed up because of the cold gravity air.

“Hope he didn’t hurt you?” She asked walking behind me, that was the voice of my mysterious look alike, I turned back and now I could see her face she was the one that saved me “You really should be careful next time pearl, that was a huge risk for you and your baby, you should thank your stars that I was still hanging around the castle” she signed as she walked over to the crooked center table and poured out some water for herself.

She was right, I wasn’t willing to die I just jumped down because I didn’t want to sin with another man, I do not love Theodore so I can’t submit my body to him.

I sat on the cold floor close to the fire furnace as there was no chair in the small cottage, the cottage looked abandoned as if no one lived in it.

Does she really live in here?, Then why doesn’t she keep it clean and comfortable?, Even the air I breathe was dusty, I scanned round the room to see thick cobwebs on each corner, the furnace itself looked as if it was gonna fall in one push.

“The ground is cold, rather Lay on this futon it’s more comfortable, and put on this garment to cover your naked skin” she said as she handed me an old dirty garment spreading the futon on the floor.

“Are we sleeping here tonight?” I said staring at the entrance that had no door and was in no way covered.

“Yes, Do not worry about the entrance we are safe here just go ahead and sleep, trust me with protecting you all night” She said sitting on the chair at the corner of the wall.

How does she expect me to trust her all of a sudden?, I don’t even know who she is and she being a witch creeped me more!.

“Pearl, bare this in mind that not all witches are bad”she paused and signed, why do I keep forgetting that she is a witch and she reads mind “I am here to help you and maybe helping you can luckily free me from this curse so Please be free with me and sleep, tomorrow morning I will send you to Guham” I felt happy butterflies in my stomach on hearing that!, I will finally get to see my besties, sage and… Do I still want to see Archer?, He is probably having a good s€x with a slut right now not caring whatever is happening to me.

King Archer sat at the balcony sipping his liquor and staring down at the kingdom of Guham, the Kingdom that he might lose soon if he doesn’t defeat King Theodore.

He knows how badly king theodore wanted more power and how badly he wanted to avenge his father’s death, pearl being in his custody means he has to be humble to theodore in other not to lose her.

What was pearl doing now?, Is she asleep or is she on Theodore’s bed satisfying him sexually?, That was all Archer could think of and the thought of that got him angrier.

His mind drifted back to the woman they saw at the forest path, was she some forest goddess, witch or fairy?, Yeah he knew that those creatures existed in real life and not just in some kiddies fantasy books.

Why did she want to help him?, It pained him that he lost the opportunity of getting her help, maybe Pearl would have come out of Theodore’s custody without getting hurt or causing war.

He gulped all the liquor in his glass at ones not minding if he gets drunk or not as he poured more to his glass, he felt useless for not being able to save his wife.

He gulped all the contents of the liquor and was about pouring another one on his glass as a soft feminine hand held him.

“You don’t have to drink your self to stupor my king” the voice sounded like sweet Melody to his ears that he was forced to look up to see the woman with such angelic voice, his hazel eyes shifted to her face all he could see was the beautiful face of Pearl.

He missed her so much that he couldn’t help but to pull her to his laps, she was still soft and elegant as she used to be, a smile curved up on her lips making Archer want to taste those heart shaped lips of hers.

He pulled her into a kiss but immediately pulled her off and glared at her one more time, she was the one!, It was pearl he saw so why isn’t her lips tasting like that of pearls?.

“Pearl?, Has Theodore kissed you before?” He asked staring at her with his tipsy dim eyes.

“Why don’t we go to the bed instead” she simply said as she pulled him to the bedroom.

King Archer woke up the next morning with his mouth tasting so sore from the liquor he drank, he has never gotten drunk out of depression before.

He turned to his side to see a woman of Zinnia’s age lying peaceful on his bed, how did she get here and who is she? He was sure he didn’t ask for a slut or did Fox get him a slut!?, Fox was used to getting him sluts once he is back from a long journey but he had warned him strictly to stop.

This wasn’t time for sleeping with different women, all he wanted was a plan to get Pearl out of Prussiate.

He tried remembering what happened last night and how the lady ended up on his bed, he remembered mistaking her for pearl!.

Pearls absence was doing a lot to him mentally, he really missed her and needed her back, she was making him lose his mind.

He turned to the slut lying on his bed, she took advantage of his drunk state, how dare she!.

“Hey wake up!!” King Archer yelled as he kicked her off his bed making her hit hard on the marbled floor as she squealed in pains.

“My king you are…”

“Leave my room immediately!!, One more word from you warrants a great punishment for taking advantage of a king’s drunk state” King Archer yelled as she immediately took her dress and ran out of the room, she doesn’t need a fortune teller to tell her what King Archer is capable of.

Just immediately she left, Arlo walked in looking terrified, king archer could tell that he had a news… A bad one.

“What is it Arlo?” King Archer said as he stood from his bed and pulled into his robe.

“My king, there is a news going on around the kingdoms that a kidnapped queen at Prussiate jumped down the castle and her body is no where to be found” Arlo said as King Archer immediately raised his eyes in shock, it was sure going to be pearl!, Why did she have to do that!.

Theodore was definitely making her life miserable before she could think of killing herself, just when he was planning to take a big step to get her out of Prussiate she died!.

Tears treathned to creep out his eyes as he blinked it back, he can’t let his guard see him in such horrible state.

Theodore has succeeded in killing his wife and not just his wife!, His unborn baby too, his heir… Theodore will have to see the wicked side of him, the warrior in him, he will make sure Theodore dies leaving his throne and his kingdom to him.

Archer had planned to peacefully get his wife back and submit to Theodore after sending his wife abroad where Ray and his family lived to avoid much blood sheeds, not that he can’t fight and defeat Theodore but he didn’t just want innocent people to die, yes him and his people would be enslaved but at least they would be safe and alive.

Now the only woman that made him gentle was dead with her cops not found, he has to let out the real him, he has to defeat Theodore and he doesn’t care who dies, his favorite wife was dead with his kid so no other being deserves his Mercy.

“Expect a war soon Arlo” King Archer said as he walked to his balcony.

“I am ready for anything my king” Arlo replied as he bowed and exited, when it comes to heartless guards and Knight’s Archer got them all, he loved his guards for always being at his beck and call and he was sure that they would never betray him.

King Archer looked into space letting the cold morning breeze sweep past his face, just last night he felt pearls presence he never knew that it was a sign of her death.

He couldn’t just believe that he lost the only woman he genuinely loved, he will definitely send the rest of them to their kingdoms as they were not useful to him again… Not even sexually.

He let his pending tears creep down his cheeks, he has never cried as a man before but here he is crying because of a woman!… She wasn’t just a woman to him she was his wife, the only woman that carried his seed, his whore, the only woman that made him jealous, his everything!!.

“And what is my king thinking about?” That familiar voice again, it sounded real and so close to him.

He turned to see her resting by the wall, she was the one this time.
