Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 87

The orb died down and unexpectedly shattered into pieces, causing all of them to gasp loudly. The Blue Miracle is gone.

They all stared in disbelief, and Lekhma, who was already furious, blamed little Adrik for the loss of the Blue Miracle. “This child is a curse!!”

He glared at Mirabel before turning around to return to his throne. “Finish him off.”

The instant he gave his order, Rohan, who stood with dust all over his body, whirled the saber in his hand and aimed it at little Adrik, who was slowly floating down to lie on the floor.

He threw the saber with great force, and it penetrated through the air, rushing towards little Adrik. However, before it could infiltrate through the little child, someone ran in and grabbed little Adrik, protecting him from getting struck by the saber flying towards him.

Everywhere went quite instantly, and Lekhma, who was walking up the stairs to sit at his throne, halted and his heart thumped hard within him, as though he had just lost a part of him.

His body trembled when he heard gasps from the surrounding people, and he slowly turned around only to have his eyes flutter violently as his gazes fell on his wife, who was holding little Adrik with her body standing motionless.

“No! no!!” Lekhma shook his head and hurriedly rushed to Mirabel. However, he had just gotten close to her when Mirabel spurted out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell on her knees while still holding tightly onto little Adrik.

Lekhma’s body shivered violently as he stared at the saber stabbed into her back, and he raised his rage-filled eyes to gaze at Rohan, who stood motionless with dilated eyes.

“Supreme Alpha, it wasn’t-” Before Rohan could finish his sentence, Lekhma had already appeared in front of him and hoisted him up by the neck.

Lekhma’s eyes turned completely violet and his canine elongated. His fingers stretched out, penetrating through the neck of Rohan, who was struggling to free himself.

Lekhma’s raged violet eyes glared at Rohan, and he snapped his neck into two, letting Rohan’s head roll to the floor. Blood pumped out of Rohan’s neck, and Lekhma threw his body away. He immediately rushed back to Mirabel, who was still spurting blood, and pulled out the saber from her back.

He covered the wound with his hand to stop the bleeding, but the blood kept oozing out. Tears welled up in his eyes and they fell the moment they came. “Please, you can’t leave me! You can’t! ” He violently shook his head and tenderly grabbed Mirabel by the chin to make her look at him. “Mirabel, you can’t leave me!”

Mirabel turned her head to stare at him and smiled, revealing her bloody teeth. “Ta-take c-care of our ba-babies…” She coughed and her eyes slowly shook as she collapsed to the floor, devoid of any life.

Lekhma stared at his dead mate and tears began to stream down his face.

Mother Mary, who was on the other side, lowered her head as she whimpered silently in pain. Her heart ached within her and tears couldn’t help but fall from her eyes. Even after trying so much, getting the heavens to send another vision to her, Mirabel still died in the end.

She wants to scream and ask heaven why she was given such a gift. Why was she, of all people, cursed in such a horrible way? Just what exactly did she do wrong?

A loud cry from little Adrik’s mouth drew everyone’s attention, including Lekhma, and he slowly turned his head to stare at the crying baby. Fury bubbled up with him at the sight of little Adrik, and he grabbed him from Mirabel’s hand and harshly dropped him on the floor. He picked up the saber that killed Mirabel and raised it, ready to stab little Adrik to death and send him to hell.

But the minute the saber closed in, almost touching little Adrik’s skin, he halted it and breathed heavily as his hands on the hilt of the saber shivered. His lashes trembled and tears fell from his eyes onto little Adrik’s face.

The saber fell out of his hand as he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He screamed and angrily punched the floor till his knuckles became bloody.

“Everyone!! Get out!!” He emphasized each of his words with a deadly tone, and his breathing became unsteady as he felt himself about to run mad.

His subjects flinched at the tone he was using and stood gazing at him.

When Lekhma saw that none of them were listening to him, he grabbed the saber and abruptly stood up, sending it towards one of his subjects, through whose throat it penetrated, killing him instantly.

Everyone gasped and began to tremble in fear as they stared at his deadly eyes. “Get out!”He yelled at them, and without hesitation, they began to flee the hall, leaving Lekhma, who was breathing heavily.

Within the hall was only Mother Mary, who didn’t leave. Rather, she stood there watching Lekhma, whose chest rose and fell in rage.

She parted her lips to say something but changed her mind as she felt it would be useless to say anything.

She slowly walked towards the dead body of Mirabel and placed her hand on her forehead. “Rest in peace.” She whispered to herself and turned to little Adrik, who was still crying.

“Get that child out of my sight or else…” Lekhma’s hand balled into a tight fist as he said, and Mother Mary hurriedly lifted little Adrik from the cold floor and carried him out of the hall.

Lekhma turned to his wife and fell on his knees beside her. He carried her up, placing her head on his chest, and began caressing her hair. “Why did you leave me?! Why?!!!”

He whimpered and roared like a wild beast. His heart tightened within him as he suddenly recalled the first time he met her. Then she was serving food and drinks at a feast that he attended.

He also recalled the day he made her his concubine and how shy she was. And also the day she found out she was pregnant, how much she talked about the type of mother she would be. All that played in his mind.

Tears continued to fall from his eyes, and he shut his eyes, inhaling deeply and exhaling.

He wiped off the tears in his eyes and carefully carried her up from the floor and had her put in a frozen coffin to sustain her body till the day he would bury her.

The villagers waited to see the prince, but Lekhma decided against walking up to the tower and letting the moon goddess see the miracle she had given them.

Mother Mary warned him and told him that he must do it or else the moon goddess would be angered, but Lekhma still didn’t listen.

The only thing clouding his mind at the moment was the death of his mate. The first woman he had ever loved in his life left him today.

Lekhma slumped down on the chair in the hall and used his palm to support his tilted head.

…

Mother Mary stood outside and gazed intently at the Blue Moon. She knows something will happen. When the moon goddess is angered, there is a chance that all of them will be wiped out, never to be heard of again.

She took a deep breath after staring intently at the moon for a few minutes and turned around, proceeding to walk back into her chamber. However, she had just taken a step forward when a gust of wind suddenly swept past her and everyone else, causing them to fall to the floor.

The earth beneath their feet began to tremble, and they glanced down only to see cracks appearing on the ground.

Mother Mary, who already knew what was happening, immediately ran into the palace and took Little Adrik from the bed where he was lying.

She hurriedly rushed to the hall and pushed the tall door open, only for her eyes to fall on Lekhma, who was still seated in the position he was sitting in before, completely unaware of the phenomenon unfolding outside.

“Supreme Alpha, please, you have to do the ritual. The pack is in danger. ” She said, but Lekhma replied not, and just lazily glanced at her.

She parted her lips to say something, but the hall suddenly began to shake as though an earthquake was happening, and lines of cracks rapidly began to emerge on the wall.

Mother Mary panicked and walked up to Lekhma. “Supreme Alpha, do you want to have the entire pack killed?” She yelled at him and dragged him from the throne. “If you don’t do something, thousands of innocent people will die because of your ignorance!!.”

She forcefully handed little Adrik to him and rushed outside when she felt immense danger.. She gazed up at the sky only to see the once blue moon turn completely red.
