For the first time since I took on the position of becoming the alpha of a kingdom, I was completely confused at the next step to take. There was one fact that was always obvious to me right from the time I began to take care of myself, and it was the fact that no one was coming to help me.
However, at this moment something felt completely different. I was not just feeling that no one would ever come to help me; I was feeling that someone was coming for me, and this time it could be an enemy I would not be able to defeat. Not because I do not have the strength to battle but because I might not have the courage to face her, and who was going to stand in my place and defend the people of my pack when that time finally comes?
"I can't breathe," I whispered, standing up from the systems facing in the opposite direction. While Alex stood beside me, I could feel his gaze, or maybe I was imagining it.
