Alpha King's Sex Slave

Alpha Hades POV

I tore my chamber doors with a force that could rip it apart and got in a face off with Talitha holding a basket of fruits. She must have been waiting on me for a long time I guessed by her chapped freezing lips.

“What troubles you my King?” She asked sincerely, peeking into my eyes to get some information like a written note. Talitha is of different breed the woman never fails to surprise me and deep down I get flabbergasted by her.

“Why are you here or are you here to mock me?!” I replied harshly. My voice surprised me at the way I spoke by the look of hurt on her face.

“I can never do that to you. I came over to gift you some fruit. I didn't feel good sleeping so I came over to thank you for helping me today. You're here now so I think my work is done.” She says shyly. After I carried her out of the royal dining room I took her to the healer's chamber and watched over her till she fell asleep. I left the chambers minutes later to mine and had a wash before returning to bed to sleep and just like her case I wasn't feeling sleepy. The thought of Galina permeated my mind, leaving her alone in the hall pregnant doesn't feel right and I knew her too well to create a fuss about it.

I left my room to Galina's to explain myself better but upon reaching her door I heard voices, no two voices with one unmistaking for a male. I leaned closer to the door without making a sound and listened to the conversation attentively and got to find out the pregnancy was false all along I wasn't responsible.

I held her wrist as she made her way to leave. “Stay with me for the night.”

Talitha refused to look at me, her gaze fixed on the floor but what I didn't see coming was her pulling my hands away. “I have no right to do so your Queen might come in and she would misunderstand… I got lied to, treated in a cruel manner for doing nothing wrong. I try as much as possible to stay off you, please do the same.”

“What do you want me to believe that you didn't do it? How am I to believe that cock and bull story when it was abortion pills and few months back you wanted the child flushed!” I yelled so hard veins popped on my forehead and a slight tug in my throat. I shouldn't be doing this but at this point I'm losing my mind. Hours back I found out my Queen had an affair and not that the child she made me believe was mine actually belonged to an ordinary soldier.

“It will be morning soon. I need to have some sleep. You look tired. I hope you catch some as well.” She looked too tired to try arguing and persistently I held her wrist again.

“I accept I did wrong by not trusting you. I would investigate the matter but until then you aren't guilty.” I saw her huff in defeat and that was it. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her into a soft embrace and for a few minutes we didn't say a word other than listening to our heartbeats. Being with Talitha fills me with so much richness that I can't deny. Her arms blessed my hurt with divine healing, sorrow for joy. How did I live without this woman all this while?

She let me lead her to bed wrapping my arms around her but with a safe distance not to hurt her bump with our legs intertwined.

“Talitha?”

“Umh…”

“Galina won't be part of our lives anymore.”

Morning approached with speed a few minutes before I decided to sleep. I stayed up most part of the night listening to her heartbeats and little snores. My seed swelling inside of her filled me with pride and intense attraction building a bond with her I couldn't deny.

I was in love.

I left her in bed and hurried to the matters of the pack and news reached my desk. Galina took her life.

The first time in my life I feel low. Maybe she would be alive if I didn't want her to leave? But nevertheless I didn't ask her to commit suicide everything she ever did was based on choices.

I sent a scroll relating what transpired to her pack with her coffin along it. Galina's chapter was closed forever and I was ready to keep it that way forever.

“Good morning, your highness.”

I nod without looking at her nose deep in the multitude of scrolls. “What do you have to say?”

“I found something in the Queen's room.” She answers.

“Let me have a look.” She hands me a strange looking bottle which I caress staring at it awkwardly.

“The content in that bottle is of ancient history. It works as an abortion pill and it's surprising it's in Galina's room and what's more confusing it contains the extract u got from the samples in Talitha’s body when she had a miscarriage.”

I rise immediately at the miscarry part. The confusing dots connect. My face contorts into a hard frown. It has been her all along. She got me fooled for too long that I'm scared to find a single truth from anything she ever said even when she claimed to love me. If she did, another man's child wouldn't be pinned on me.

“Send for Talitha. I need to see her.” I lacked words to express how much I've hurt her and she keeps being innocent and sweet. I truly don't deserve the blessing that she was.

“Yes Alpha.” The healer bowed and left. I pushed the scrolls to the floor emptying the table and placed the bottle on the centre.
