CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

“No, no, no…” where the only words Alpha could form as she was dragged away from Mina’s body. She did not mean it; she did not want this. Why now? Did she not have enough problems for which she was blamed? she wondered as Rikka carried her to her chambers as instructed by Queen Yamina.

“It’s alright, it’s not your fault” cooed Rikka as Alpha’s body shook in his arms with each sob that escaped her sealed lips, she wanted to believe him, but the truth was right in front her.

She almost killed someone dear to her with the gift she hopelessly wanted. Time was a cruel thing, she thought as the adrenaline started to fade and the pain made itself known to her.

Rikka felt a heaviness in his chest as Alpha clenched his bicep as she continued to sob in his arms, he did not know what to do but tighten his hold on her to give her some comfort as he neared the doors to her chambers.
