ep3

Alpha pov

I waited for my son to return; it was now late and the moon was out; I was going to visit the witch shortly, but I just couldn't do what she asked of me; I couldn't kill my son. I can do anything, but not murder my son, who is the only one I have left.

I was deep in thought when I heard footsteps and looked up to see my kid Lucas coming to his room upstairs. I stood up and called his name.

Lucas comes to a halt, and I approach my son without him looking at me. I put my hand on his shoulder and spoke to him.

I'm sorry, son, and I realize I haven't been a good parent to you lately. I just want you to give me another chance.

I waited for his response, and after a minute, he spoke up.

You've always treated me and my mother with contempt since I was a child, so why do you want to treat me with respect now that she's gone? I know you're my father, but I've never seen you act like one, so tell me, father, why should I give you a chance?

I turn to face him and look him in the eyes; for the first time, I saw tears in my son's eyes, and I became emotional.

My son, family is all about trust and respect; please, son, give me a chance to prove my love for you; I accept that I mistreat you and your mother, but I guarantee that I never murdered her.

And why should I trust you father, he stared at me, I saw my mother's body without a head, and you say I should believe you, father, tell me how mother died. I recall when she left that night to see a friend of hers, and you were also going to a meeting on that same night, and you returned but mom never did, only to see her body without a head on it, so explain to me why you want me to give you a chancee, father.

I felt so horrible that I bent down to tell my son that I am genuinely sorry and that anything I done was wrong.

My son, you're reading it incorrectly; I never killed your mother, believe me; I only want you to have a better life, son, and I apologize if I've been a horrible parent to you. Ok, son, you can do anything you want, and I won't bother you about it, but please, son, leave me in your heart and see how much I love you.

Father, you speak as if you were given a good drug today that caused you to speak all this childish talk, listen father, I don't even have a friend, I'm just a secret that is hidden from the world, no one knows am a prince and I don't even want anyone to know because you know why I'm ashamed of my father.

Ok, son, you might be ashamed of me or even despise me, but just allow me to love my son.

Really, father, you want me to love you? Okay, I'll give you a chance, so may I go now?

He left, and I stood up, wiping the tears from my eyes and walking to my throne, where I asked the guard to get me a glass of water, which they did, and i pour a soeeping drugs on it and then I walked to my son's room, where I stood at the door and knocked.

(Knock on wood.)

Yes, who is it, my son inquires.

Please let me in, it's m, e son, I plead politely.

You certainly can.

I walked into his room, it had been a long time since I had been in my son's room, and I saw pictures of my wife all around the room, then I saw him sitting in his bed, holding a picture of his mother, and I sat near to him.

I borough you water, son.

Father, I'm not tasty, he remarked.

Please, son. I know you're tired, but please have a drink.

He took the water from my hands and was about to put it in his mouth when he stopped and looked at me.

Why are you being so gracious, Father?

I give him a kind smile.

I'll always be good to you, kid, so go ahead and drink up.

After he drank all of the water and fell asleep, I went to the door and locked it. I took the knife from behind me and went to his neck, as I was about to kill him, I heard him say in his sleep. I love you, Mom and Dad.

I burst into tears because I couldn't kill my son; he's the only one I have, and if I kill him, I'll be alone. I put the knife down and left his room, getting dress and heading to the wilderness. I made sure no one ever suppect anything, I walked deed into the forest until I got to an old hut, I walked in and looked around but I couldn't see her, where might she have gone, I wondered.

I was so engrossed in my work that when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to strike until I saw her.

King Alpha, welcome back. What brought you here? Did you come with the sacrifices?

I couldn't think of anything to say to her, so all I needed to do was bend down.

Please, Avalon's witch. I beg you to give me another work because the one you assigned to me is risky and dangerous. Please don't ask me to kill something I can't do since it's my son. Instead, ask for anything else.

I heard her giggle and she turned to face me.

King Alpha, you know if you don't complete the task you will be old and die. I was the one who kept you alive, and I can murder you in a split second. I knew you had the mind and heart to do it, and killing your kid will not make you a loser; it will only give you more power.

But please witch of Alvalon give me another assignment; I cannot kill my son. I've already slain his mother, but I just can't kill him. He's the only one I have, and if I kill him, I'll lose everything, so what's the use of living?

Alpha (King) I will grant your request because you have been a devoted servant; your son will no longer be required, but every last full moon you will bring two females to be decapitated, and your power will be greater than you can ever think; now go and get me your sacrifice; there isn't much time left.

I left with a cheerful heart, knowing that my kid would not be slain any longer. I returned to my Palace and summoned two of my trusty guards who had been keeping my secret for a long time. I spoke as they approached me.

I need two female wolves for sacrifice, so please don't let me down.

Do not be concerned, my king; we have never failed you before, and we will not fail you now.

Good, Now leave I don't have much time before the moon rises.

They both walked away, and I went to the witch hut and waited.

You've come back so quickly, I'm sure you've brought the sacrifices.

Not yet, but my guards have done everything they can to obtain them. I waited, and soon I heard growls, and I looked up to see my guards holding out two females.

You've done a great job as a guard, and you're now free to depart.

They left, allowing the sacrifice to take place.

Why are you doing this to us, Alpha? You're supposed to be our leader. One of the females screamed, and I heard her.

Keep your mouth shut, I yell at her.

You will pay for all your wrongdoings, I assure you, and when I get out of here, I will undoubtedly tell everyone.

I step closer to her level and say, "Don't worry, you'll be dead before you can tell."

I looked at the second girl, who was crying, and stood up to go pick up the merchant and move closer to them. They continued to cry as I lifted the merchant and, before anything else, I severed both of their necks and threw the heads into a roaring fire. I knelt down, and the witch began casting a spell, using the blood of the girls on my face, and the more she did it, the more powerful I felt. After the spell, the heads turned to ashes, and I stood up and went, instructing my guards to take care of the bodies.

I went to my kingdom and I was happy, I stood in front of the mirror and saw how handsome I was. I smile to myself knowing that I have more power than ever, this is just what I wanted, power.
