The Alpha King's Woman

Laying helplessly inside the lonely forest was a heavily pregnant woman. Gasping and pleading for her life while she struggled to give birth to her child all by herself.

It was rare to see a pregnant woman all alone during labor, not only was she struggling to birth her child, her life and that of her child was also in danger.

She quickly casted a spell that hid her from other eyes and started struggling to give birth.

She pushed and pushed for a long time, it was as if she was all alone in this world.

She was helpless.

"I have to do this, I have to bring you to this world even if it is the last thing I do. This is my gift for you, my child." She muttered tearily. She was in so much pain trying to hold on.

She pushed for the last time and then the cry of a baby was heard.

*****

It was said twenty years ago that a female child will be born of a dragon father and a witch mother would be the most powerful witch to walk the earth.

This brought so much dispute in the witch's world.

When something like that happened in the past they paid a heavy price for it and wouldn't want that to happen again.

20 years later after the prophecy was made Aranya was born of a dragon father and witch mother.

Fearing that her life will be in danger since the Alpha King Alfredo Garcia was also interested in the 'so called' most powerful witch.

She was hated by the witches and by the werewolves. She was on the run all alive and she wasn't about to give up at any moment.

For a moment her life seems to become normal like that of a normal human being, of course they came back again with all their full strength this time and this time she might not make it out alive.

The Alpha King wanted her dead or alive.

Episode 1 Aranya's POV:

For years I had been trying to live discreetly, I have been begging God if there was one to please keep all the bad things away from me.

I had been trying to live a normal life, the kind of life a human lives but it seems like I could never achieve that no matter how hard I tried.

No matter how much I crave to be normal I will still be that girl, that girl that has been chased her whole life, that girl that a lot of werewolves and witches wanted dead, that girl that can never be normal, the Doom of both the werewolves and the witches.

I didn't beg to be born this way I didn't want this kind of life for myself, I wanted to go to college I wanted to go to high school like every other human being, I wanted all those for myself I don't want to keep moving from one town to the other like I've been doing for the past 17 years.

For the past 10 years I have lived in every town in the United States of America, I was on the run for 10 good years.

When I was four when our house was attacked, mother cast strong black magic and hid me when the werewolves attacked us. In the process of fighting for our lives, she died leaving me all alone.

when I was four I didn't know anything but my survival instinct told me that I was in danger which was why I stayed in one place where my mother cast the spell on me, they tried to break the spell and get me out but they couldn't and so they left and I started wandering throughout the forest, a hunter found me and took me in, he felt pity for me, took care of me till I was 13 and then they came again.

It was like they always looked for the perfect opportunity to strike and they did. I couldn't save them, I couldn't save the hunter and his wife, I couldn't do anything. I was the cause of their death. Throughout my whole life, I have blamed myself for the death of the hunter and his wife.

Maybe if he had left me to die inside the forest he wouldn't have died.

Gosh, why am I thinking about all this right now? I need to go to work.

I got out of bed and hurriedly went inside the bathroom to take my bath.

Two years ago when I moved from California to New York I was lucky to find this woman who runs a bakery shop. She was looking for a helper at that time so I was lucky enough for her to hire me.

I used my salary to pay my bills and keep the rest for myself. These past few years it has been calm for me but I know that it won't last. I have this feeling that very soon I'm going to move again.

Think positively Aranya, just think.

After taking my bath I went back to my room and prepared for work. I wore black Jean trousers and a crop top, put on a little makeup on my face, and grabbed my handbag from the top of my drawer.

I walked downstairs and dropped my bag on top of the couch before going to the kitchen.

Unlike other people, I don't like eating breakfast very early in the morning. Every morning before going to work I make myself a hot chocolate and that's what will be in my stomach until about 9 a.m. before I have my breakfast.

It has something to do with me as a person. Whenever I eat early in the morning I have this stomach cramp and it destroys my day.

I opened my cabinet and brought out a ceramic cup then closed it. I placed the cup on top of the counter and that was when my phone started ringing.

I grabbed my phone from the counter and checked the caller.

I don't have a lot of numbers on my phone. U have always been a very private person.

I only communicate with a few people.

Mrs. Williams, the bakery store owner, and my friend Bethel.

I know that I'm not in a situation where I should have friends but Bethel was very persistent, she used to follow me everywhere wanting to be friends with me. I couldn't do anything else, she was like this crazy girl that wants to get to know me and I am that lonely girl trying to hide from her past, I just couldn't do anything and so I let destiny take the ride, I became friends with her about a year ago and to be honest I was glad that I met her she was one of the sweetest humans I've ever met.

Fortunately, she was the one calling my phone.

"Hey," I greeted boringly. I hate making phone calls.

I don't know if it is weird for me to prefer texting to make phone calls, I don't like calling people on the phone. I guess it is one of my very private attitudes.

No matter how close I was with Bethel, I still couldn't tell her my secret. I still couldn't tell her that I'm not a human. I was scared, scared that she would hate me for life, and scared that they would come after her. Being friends with her alone is a huge thing.

"Are you getting ready for work? I'm about to leave the house right now. I have a meeting by 8:00. How was your night?" She told me, I could hear the cheerfulness in her voice.

She was always happy.

Six months ago she got a job from one of the leading companies in the world as a secretary.

I was happy for her, she was living her dream, getting paid real money, and buying whatever she wanted for herself. Sometimes I live off of her, sometimes when I can't pay the bills she helps me with it but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with it.

"Yes, I'm about to go to work too," I told her.

"That's great, let's meet tonight for dinner at the restaurant across my street, bills on me." She said and I smiled.

"See you tonight," I responded before hanging up.

Every day of my life I leave it as luck, if I make it tonight I'll be grateful because every day is a danger. I'm not safe. I know that not even here in New York, I was never safe, I was just lucky.

Episode 2

Aranya's POV

I walked inside the cafe leisurely, my eyes taken in the people lining up in front of the counter.

Today will be hectic.

"Good morning, Aranya." Chloe, my fellow waitress greeted me. She is a very sweet woman. She just got married not long ago. I heard that her husband works in a big company and she's just working here to keep herself busy.

How sweet of her.

I wish I'm working here also to keep myself busy but that's not the case.

I need to work here to survive, I was grateful to work here.

I wouldn't dare complain.

"Good morning, Mrs. W.illiams." I greeted. She looked up from the counter and smiled back at me.

"You're here, quickly go and attend to the customers." She told me and I nodded my head.

I walked around the counter and placed my bag on the table there.

"Bagel with cream cheese please," one young girl said.

I smiled at her and turned around quickly to get her orders.

I enjoy where I work. In here I feel like my problems are over.

I feel reborn, even though I know that my time is tick-tocking

I want to be here forever. To live in happiness forever. But I know that will never happen.

I am cursed.

It is my destiny to be running all my life, it is my destiny to have two strong creatures on my tail.

They will catch up with me soon. I can feel it. They are near but I won't surrender.

"Your bagel and cream cheese is ready, happy eating., I said to the customer as I handed over the bagel and cream cheese to her.

She smiled back at me before walking towards the table.

"Aranya, please quickly make one cup of latte and a cup of espresso coffee., Chloe told me.

"Copy that."

***

I walked out of the cafe at 7:30 p.m, tired and needing to take my motherfucking bath.

I got inside my car and took out my phone from my handbag.

I dialed Bethel's number and placed the phone against my ear.

"Hey." She said immediately she picked up the phone.

"Are you off from work, I'm about to leave the parking lot right now. " I told her.

" Yes, just go to the restaurant and wait for me, I'll be there in twenty minutes." She retorted, I rolled my eyes and sighed.

Her twenty minutes is always forty minutes.

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

I started my car and drove out of the parking lot.

Bethel's 20 minutes is like forty minutes, so I drove to my apartment first.

I took my bath and changed into another dress before leaving my apartment.

I walked to the restaurant opposite my apartment and it wasn't surprising that she wasn't there yet.

I knew that she would be late.

"Good evening and welcome to Biggie restaurant, I'll be your waitress for tonight, have you decided what you want yet?" A girl about my age said to me,

I glanced at the menu which I was yet to pick up and shook my head.

"I'm waiting for someone," I said with a smile on my lips. "But I wouldn't mind a glass of water."

"I'll be right back with your water." She told me before walking away.

I unlocked my phone and texted Bethel.

*Where are you?*

I dropped my phone on the table and glanced around the restaurant while waiting for her to text me back.

My phone pinged and checked it.

Bethel responded.

*I am parking my car, will be there shortly*

Oh boy.

I don't understand how she was able to manage her life as a secretary of a billion dollars company and her normal life.

It just baffles me.

The pay is too good but the sacrifice is a digger.

Not long later, I saw her walk inside the restaurant.

The restaurant wasn't that big so I was able to notice her immediately as she walked in.

She was wearing a plain black skirt and a light blue shirt which she made sure to tuck in.

My professional best friend. She looked really beautiful in her corporate wear.

She glanced around the room and when she saw me, she smiled.

She walked towards my table and sat down opposite me.

"Hey, I'm sorry for being late, I had to sort things out for my boss." She told me.

I smiled and waved my hand.

"I understand, I'm not mad at you., I told her.

She dropped her bag on the table and picked up the menu.

"What did you order?" She asked me.

"I was waiting for you," I retorted. She chuckled softly and went through the menu.

Just then the waitress came back with a glass of water.

"Here is your water." The waitress told me and brought out her notepad, I nodded my head and picked the glass filled with water up from the table. "So have you decided what to order since your partner is here already?"

"Yeah, I'll have creamy shrimp fettuccine pasta and salad please., Bethel said.

"And I'll have chicken stew and white rice with salad., I ordered.

"Creamy shrimp fettuccine pasta and salad also chicken stew and white rice with salad coming right up." The waitress said.

She walked away and I turned my attention to Bethel.

"How was work today? Was it hard for you?" I asked her.

She sighed loudly and placed her elbow on the table, she supported her cheek with her hand.

"It was just the usual stuff, it is the end of the year so we are only wrapping everything off for the holiday." She replied, "haaa, our company will be having a holiday party in two days before Christmas, I want to be there."

No.

This is not going to work out. I can't be among so many people.

I can't let my witch sense take over me.

I just can't.

"And before you say no, I've already got a dress ready for you, so you must be there." She said while sending me a death glare.

I don't feel good about this.

Episode 3

When I left the cafe, I realized that I didn't have enough groceries at home so I had to rush to the mall and buy some groceries.

After my little shopping at the mall, I went back home to make a quick dinner and get ready for the party before Bethel whopped my motherfucking ass.

I was about to cook white rice and pepper soup stew since it was one of my best foods.

Oh, how much I love it!

I poured in some water into the pot and placed it on top of the cooking gas

After making sure the rice was already cooking, I left the kitchen and went into my room to undress and wrap a towel around my chest.

I hate cooking while dressed up. Sometimes I like wearing just a tiny shirt and cooking. Clothes distract the hell out of me.

I went back inside the kitchen and continued cooking. An hour later I was done with my cooking and was sitting down on the rug inside my living room with a plate of white rice and pepper soup stew and a glass of wine in front of me.

Living my best life, hahaha.

I took another bite of her meat and send Bethel an SMS.

*When should I start getting ready* I asked.

Just a few seconds passed before another message came in from Bethel.

*Bitch, start getting ready. You're going to make me late*

I rolled my eyes and dropped my phone on the couch then continued eating my dinner while Whitney Houston's music was playing in the background.

I loved Whitney Houston.

***

I dressed up in a red long gown, long side split, a V-neck dress, and floor-length.

I styled my hair up in a high ponytail and wore minimal make-up. I wore a heavy perfume to conceal my scent, just in case I ran into an enemy. Werewolves were not the only enemies I have, even my kind was after me.

I was just being careful.

I grabbed my purse from my bed and walked out of my room.

My phone started ringing and I swiped the receiving button.

"Hey I'm downstairs we are going to take my call so be fast and come down so that we can hit the way." Bethel, my best friend said and I rolled my eyes.

"Alright alright, I just have to lock my door. I'm coming, you'll see me in less than 3 minutes." I retorted. I walked inside my kitchen and opened the fridge, I grabbed a can of water from the fridge and walked right out.

After locking my apartment, I walked right inside the elevator. I rested my bare back against the cold metal and closed my eyes.

"I can't wait for tonight to be over," I muttered to myself.

Bethel has always been the one to push me out of my shell. If it was left to me, I wouldn't stay a minute longer away from my apartment.

I knew for a fact that I was going to move again because I could feel it, very soon they were going to catch up with me, she could feel the energy and it wasn't looking any good.

When I got downstairs I saw Bethel's car and walked towards it.

She pulled the car door open and walked inside.

"What held you back?" Bethel questioned me before starting the car. I uncorked the cover of my bottle of water and gulped a huge amount from it to quench my thirsty throat.

"Can't I cancel on you?" I asked after going silent for a while.

My spirit did not accept me going out that night and I didn't want to forcefully tell Bethel that I wouldn't go with her when Bethel had never said such a thing to me before.

"No, you can't." Came Bethel's response and I groaned frustratedly.

I wished for the day to end so fast.

Bethel and I got down from the car and Bethel handed over her car keys to the valet before we both walked inside the huge private party, hand in hand.

When we walked inside the hall, my eyes widened.

The place was so beautiful with all the tables, huge chandeliers and the decorations were top-notch.

"This place is awesome, Bethel," I said and gasped. "I could sleep here all day."

Bethel chuckled softly and shook her head.

We walked towards an empty table and I pulled out a chair to sit on. My heels were causing a problem for me which I've got to fix.

Bethel dropped her bag on the table and glanced back.

"Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back," Bethel said before walking away.

I glanced around the big room one more time and sighed.

I still didn't feel comfortable where I was, if it was left for me, I would have been out of the room the second I entered, but that would mean having an issue with my only friend which I didn't want.

A waiter passed by and I grabbed a glass of wine from him.

I sipped on the wine and nodded my head.

It was delicious.

I fished out my phone from my purse and checked my unpaid bills.

Damn, I had to beg Mrs. Williams for an extra shift.

There was lots of money to pay.

My house bill was $4,850 and the water bill, the light, etc.

I had a lot of stuff going on for me to be here today. But I had to be here just once.

I think it was confidence when I said that I've got to go out more often to ease my mind and not to stay hidden forever.

I dropped my phone on the table and looked up.

A lot of people were already in the hall.

It was already filled to the brim and the party was about to get started.

Just a few more hours and I would go back to the safety of my house.

Just a little while longer, I could do it.

I kept whispering to myself.

Did I do it?
