CHAPTER 74

  Aria's POV

  The room was full of tension. Two healers stood beside him, monitoring his vitals, while his parents stayed with him for support. I couldn't help but notice that everyone in the room kept glancing at the clock as his time got closer.

  "L..." He struggled to speak, looking in my direction with drooping eyes.

  The other people in the room turned their attention to me, before they continued what they were doing after giving me small bows.

  I gave him a small smile as I approached his bedside. "You've always been so stubborn. I told you to rest and save your strength."

  His eyes glinted with amusement, but he couldn't form the words. I knew what he wanted to say. Then he gave me a questioning look. "Al.....Ki..." He mumbled weakly.

  I nodded. "Yes, I'll make sure I introduce you to the Alpha King."
