On The Run With The Alpha’s Triplets

Prologue Magnus “Amelia!” I screamed. My hands trembled with fear and an inability to comprehend what had happened. I shook my head multiple times, trying to shake off this surreal nightmare, praying that it was all just an imagination or a dream. “No! Amy! Please, please don’t do this to me. Open your eyes, Amelia," heartbreaking tears racked through my body. I held Amelia’s lifeless form in my hand, tapping her cheeks and hoping against hope that she would wake up. How could I live without her? How can I go on with my life without her? How can I live knowing that I would never see my love again? This can’t be happening to me. I still couldn't believe it. She can’t just leave me like that. She can’t leave me all alone in this cruel world. “Amelia, please talk to me, please talk to me, honey,” I cried. My heart broke into a million pieces, one that could only be patched back up if Amelia woke up again. If she didn’t, I’d have to live with this broken heart for the rest of my life! “Get the physician!” I screamed. “She is only weak, she is only sleeping. Amelia would wake up again. She can’t just leave me like this,” I mumbled, rubbing her cold palm and sucking on my lower lip. It felt like my whole world was crumbling down. I could see everything I loved and held precious slipping away from me, but I could do nothing. Was there a way to fight for my love’s life? Was there a battle I had to fight to bring my love back? I would fight any battle, I would race through time and pass through different lives, I would do whatever it takes to bring life back into Amelia’s body, I would do anything to see that happen, but is there such a thing? I couldn’t fight against fate; I couldn’t fight for my love’s life. I felt miserable, like a loser, a man of words, but not strength. I looked down at her, cold in my hands, her eyes closed and never to open again. I would never see her beautiful sapphire blue eyes anymore. I would never see her contagious smile again. All I was left with was memories. Amelia was gone. “No!” I screamed, turning into a mighty growl. I wanted to fight, to get revenge on whoever did this, to avert the death of my love, but from where would I start my revenge? I didn’t even know who did this to Amelia. Who would dare kill my mate! “Your highness.” I looked up to see my personal bodyguard. “P-please, you have to step away from the body now. I-it is a taboo for the king to see a dead body, let alone touching it,” he stuttered. I understood him; I could get what he was saying. But this same lifeless body was the woman I had pictured my entire life with. This woman was my life; she was my love, and living without her would be nothing but hell. This same woman, now referred to as a dead body, was the one I had been with for the last eleven months. I had spent nights of fun and pleasure with her, and now she was being referred to as a dead body. I held onto my chest; I could feel my heart ripping in pain. It felt like I was being stabbed. I couldn’t deal with the pain, and I really didn’t know how I would live with this pain for the rest of my life. I held her hand again, "Take me with you then, Amelia. Please, don’t leave me all alone. I can’t live without you, Amy. Please let me go with you. Don’t leave me. Amelia!" I screamed, crying out in pain. "Please take His Highness away from the body," my mom instructed as soon as she arrived at the scene. "He shouldn’t see or touch the body again; this might affect him later in the future," she added. The guards walked to me, and while some took Amelia’s body away from me, others held me back so I wouldn’t touch her body again. But I just couldn’t stand the sight of Amelia being wrapped up and ready to be cremated. No! This wasn’t our plan; this wasn’t what I planned with her. We planned to live a long and happy life. We planned to raise our kids and sit back years later, watching them rule and directing them. We planned to do this together. Why would she leave me all alone? I tried to break free from the guards and run after the set of guards carrying Amelia’s body, but I was held back. I fell to my feet as I watched her being pushed away, my shoulders dropped in resignation. Was this really it? Was this really the end? I would never see Amelia again; I would never see her beautiful face and smile again. No one would wake me up with a kiss and words of strength and encouragement to start the day. I was all alone. This realization struck me hard, breaking my heart into million pieces. I held onto my chest and screamed, "Amelia!" How would I live without her? How would I continue to stay in this world without Amelia by my side? She was my life, she was my love, she was everything to me. Amelia had kept me going for years, her love had kept me steadfast in my works, now she was gone, and I was alone. I finally broke free from the guards, but my whole body felt too heavy that I couldn’t move it, I fell to the floor, my heart racing with pain. “Amelia!” I cried out, gut-wrenching tears tore through me. I stared into the heavens, searching for answers, asking why the heavens decided to take Amelia away from me, asking what I did wrong to deserve this eternal punishment, but the heavens only stared back at me, leaving me with no answer. My shoulders dropped in resignation. My love was gone! My Amelia is no more! I was alone, and I would have to live with this emptiness and pain for life.
