Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 88

“No! No! No-not the blood moon. ” She shook her head vigorously and proceeded to rush inside, but something liquid dripped on her body, and she glanced at her arm only to see red fluid on her arm. She screamed and wiped it off her body. “The rain of blood.” She clutched her body and shut her eyes.

But just then, cries from people began to echo in her ears, and she turned around only to see the cracks on the ground becoming bigger, causing some of the people to fall into the space it created.

Her body began to tremble and she quickly ran back to the hall. She opened the door and forcefully dragged Lekhma out of the palace. “Look at your people dying because of your ignorance. Are you still the great Supreme Alpha they look up to? The Alpha they believed in? ” She shook her head at him and glanced at little Adrik.

“Take this child, and do the right thing. Save our people!!!” She stepped back away from him and stood to watch him.

Alpha Lekhma glanced up at the sky and the blood moon. He glimpsed around his surroundings, and the cries of his people dying echoed in his ears. The blood rain poured down as though it were the blood of the innocent dead.

His heart squeezed within him and he shut his eyes. He took a deep breath and glanced at Little Adrik, who was in his arms.

The image of Mirabel appeared in front of him, and a pessimistic smile emerged on his lips.

He took yet another deep breath and moved his legs to walk towards the tower, avoiding the cracks that were appearing on the ground on his way.

He hurriedly walked faster and pushed the door of the tower open. He began to amble up the stone stairs and finally made it to the top. However, while he was climbing the stairs, a maximum of twenty people had lost their lives, and the more people died, the heavier was the blood rain.

He pushed the door open and stepped out to stand on the very edge of the tower, allowing the heavy wind to blow on him, causing his clothes to flutter.

He gazed up intently at the moon and slowly bowed his head while gesturing little Adrik to the blood moon. “Your Majesty, here I am before you as your humble servant to let you see the miracle, the wonder, and beauty you have created and bestowed upon my humble Blue moon pack.”

“We beg of you to accept him into your heart and set him on his way, a brighter future.” With that being said, Lekhma got down on his knee and patiently waited.

A minute had not passed since he said that, and the whole sky turned completely white, sweeping across the entire world, but specifically within the Blue Moon pack.

The blood rain stopped and the cracks in the ground disappeared. The moon returned to its white color, and white mists began to whirl around it.

“He is accepted into my heart and accepted by the world.” A voice suddenly echoed from the sky, cursing every living creature to go down on their knees and bow, refusing to look up at the sky, as they may go blind.

“For your act of disobedience and stupidity, the title of the Supreme Alpha will be taken away from you on his 100th birthday, and you shall abdicate the throne and give it to him.”

“However, I have placed a curse on him as an outcome of your deed, which resulted in so many deaths and the occurrence of a forbidden phenomenon today.”

“Scars will appear on his face on that day, and it will remind you all of today. This curse will never be broken except by true acceptance… His hair is never to be shortened until the curse is broken, else…” With that being said, the voice faded, and the bright white mist enshrouding the moon ceased. Everything returned to normal and everywhere went silent.

Mother Mary slumped to the ground and sobbed silently. “Scars.” She shook her head in disbelief and her hands balled into tight fists.

“Why is little Adrik cursed? He is just an innocent child who knows nothing.” Her brows creased as she couldn’t wrap her head around it.

Alpha Lekhma, who still stood on the tower, shut his eyes as rage bubbled within him. This child is a curse brought into his life. So much has happened today because of this child, and now he has also lost his mate and the throne because of this child.

His eyes changed from gray to violet and he stared down at little Adrik with hatred apparent in his gazes.

The urge to throw him out of the tower emerged within him, and he tightly shut his eyes. If he had known, he would have gotten rid of him that day he first went to see them.

A wicked smile formed on his lips, and with that, he pushed the door open and proceeded to walk downstairs and out of the tower.

When he stepped out and saw Mother Mary, who was kneeling on the floor, he stormed towards her and handed little Adrik to her. “From now on, he’s under your care. I do not want him anywhere near me.” With that being said, he walked past Mother Mary and ambled into the palace.

Mother Mary stared at the baby in her arms, and she tucked his hair behind his ear. She gazed at the length of his hair and chuckled softly. “Little Alpha.”

She stood up from the ground and walked into the palace. She had the maids give little Adrik a nice bath and dress him up in new clean clothes.

After feeding him, she decided to take him and visit Mirabel in the cold room, where her body was kept inside the ice coffin.

A deep breath escaped her lips as she arrived at the door, and she glanced down at little Adrik to see his beautiful green eyes staring at her.

She smiled at him and slowly opened the door and stepped in, then shut it behind them.

The first thing that came into view was the ice coffin in the middle of the room.

She slowly walked towards it and knelt, then gazed at Mirabel, who lay lifeless inside the coffin.

‘You are the best mother I have ever met in my life. I will make sure that your sons know that their mother was their greatest hero and they will never forget you.’ Mother Mary smiled pessimistically and bowed her head in respect to Mirabel’s corpse. “Rest in peace.”

After spending a while near Mirabel’s coffin, Mother Mary finally stood up, and with one last bow, she left the cold room with little Adrik, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms.
