Alexander's P.O.V
‘Dad’
My daughter yelped almost jumping off the bed.
I quickly went to her side and held my little angel in my arms. She’s alright now and that’s all that matters. The demon touch is one hell of a demon’s trick. The demon plants part of its soul in the individual and the darkness spreads until the person’s soul is entirely consumed. Of course, I knew how to dispel it using my inner wolf. If not, why else am I the Alpha King if such tricks could bring me down. The only thing bugging me is how the demon infiltrated the palace to my daughter. How the demons even know she exists is making me crazy.
‘How is my little pumpkin?’
‘I asked moving some strands of hair and tucking it beneath her ears.
I saw her roll her eyes after my sentence.
‘I told you I’m not little. I’m going to be a teen this year. Besides.....’
‘You’re not a pumpkin. You’re not fat.’
She eyed me as I finished her sentence. In my defence, she’s said it over a million times. However, that will never make me budge. She’ll always be my little precious pumpkin and whoever did this will regret bypassing me.
‘Dad, grandma told me mom will never come back.’
I was shocked. It was banned. I told Laura her mom was sick and in coma. The entire pack believed she was critically sick and was sent off to a healing temple far away in the north. We decided to give her the benefit of doubt so she’ll still have some faith as she was very depressed when her mom didn’t come back.
‘And....’
I was scared. In as much as I wanted my daughter to be strong I didn’t have any plan to make her go through pain or worse break her. She has been depressed for 6 years asking us to call her or even take her there. However we said it would slow her recovery. Since after the suicide attempt last year, she has been getting better.
‘I wanna see her grave.’
‘Why?’
‘I want to get a new mom. Becky’s mom cooked us fried buns and pizza. In the pack, mums and children play during the full moon. You don’t have time to do that so I wanna have a new mom. I will first tell mom.’
Wow I was shocked.
‘Dad I wanna tell you another thing. I didn’t attempt suicide last year. Why would I? I had you, grandma, Becky, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Connor and some of my friends.’
I was bewildered, beyond shocked. What else is she gonna say again ‘cause I can’t think now.
‘I recently remembered but wasn’t so sure. I was in the bathtub. I was rushing so I could meet Becky. I scooped water in my hands over my face and then I couldn’t move. I was suffo.....’
‘Shush. It’s alright. I’ll catch the person.'
My little girl was crying. I was enraged. Whoever did this should better hide because I’ll hunt and I’ll kill.
‘It’s the exact same thing that happened. This time I was able to remove my hand and I saw a shadow disappear. Dad what’s it.’
‘You don’t need to worry at all. I will destroy whoever it is. You trust me, right?’
‘Of course. You beat Uncle Connor. I laughed at Becky and Uncle Connor. I told them sorry though. Aunt Lisa said it’s not good to laugh at others.’
I smiled and continued listening to her stories. It has been 7 years since she talked to me like this and I enjoy every damn moment.
