The Alpha’s Contract Luna alexia By Lian

Chapter 48
“What’s on your mind?” Kieran asked Alexia as she packed her things.
Alexia paused and looked down at her luggage. Then she peered in Kieran’s direction, saying, “My mother, Kieran. I won’t be
here when she comes back and finds me.”
“There are about a hundred warriors that chose to stay, not because of
of. convenience, but they know it’s their obligation to protect their pack members, Kieran explained. “They will keep watch of the
borders and inform your mother should she return to find you. She’ll find you, Alexia. She will. Trust in the Moon Goddess that
she will”
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation, and Beta Jaxon walked in. He announced, “The doctor’s Indings came in.
The king has been poisoned.”
Alexia’s heart ached, hearing the news, especially since King Balthasar may potentially be her father. She spat, That’s horrible.
Who would do that to the king?”
“We will find answers soon, Alexia,” Kieran promised. He turned to Jaxon and sought, “Has the doctor given medication?”
“The doctor has, but he feared the poison had reached his blood. He thinks the king requires a witch’s help,” Jaxon replied.
“Then, let’s split the group. Some may proceed directly to the Cross River Pack with you in the lead,” Kieran instructed. “I’ll take
the king’s guards and twenty warriors with me to see Morgan.”
‘Morgan, Alexia recalled the half-witched who suggested she was gifted. Morgan appeared to be a strong witch and perhaps
could really save the king.
“Alexia,” Kieran said. “I have things to take care of. Go with Rae to the hospital to leave a sample of your blood. The queen will
require it.”
“She can always fake the test,” Alexia pointed out. “And make the king look bad.”
It wasn’t like Alexia to doubt anyone, but her experience with Queen Helen had been unpleasant so far. Following her words,
Kieran replied,

“That’s why we will do multiple tests, one from our pack, and I’ll send another sample to Alpha Declan’s Pack Two results
opposing the queen’s test result will disprove her claims”
“I certainly hope so,” Alexia said.
Alexia grumbled as she resumed packing her belongings, and as she did, Kieran embraced her from behind. She stilled, feeling
his apprehensions. Being marked by him meant knowing his inner thoughts and emotions. For the first time since meeting
Kieran, she sensed his fears.
Her husband, the most fearsome alpha in the land of Taplean, was afraid. In front of the pack, he appeared to be collected and
brave, but Alexia knew the truth. Kieran also leared the unknown, which was all the queen’s fault.
“Will you be my strength in all this, Alexia?” Kieran asked, pecking the back of her head. “The pack has been the source of my
strength, growing up, and now I am leaving it, May the Goddess find answers to all our worries. May the truth come out, and the
people of Taplean see through
the lies.”
Alexia turned to Kieran and embraced him tightly. She said, “No matter what, Kieran. I’ll stay by your side. I’ll be your strength,
and likewise, you are mine. I believe in the faith that brought me to you, so I know the Moon Goddess has a plan for all of us.”
Kieran cupped her face and sealed her l*ps with a k*ss. Amid the trial, they were facing, she felt comforted by his taste, his hold,
his scent, and his warm embrace. The couple remained in the same hold, passionately k*ssing, until Kieran pulled away.
In the evening, after visiting the hospital with Rae and after checking on Melissa and Dean, Alexia went to find the king in the
guest room. His guards were present as she sat on a chair beside the bed.
Alexia studied the king thoroughly. They didn’t look alike, but then again, Melissa’s mother had mentioned how she looked like
Avery. She recalled all the information she knew about her mother, Avery.
With a frown on her face, she dug through her brain and recounted how her mother said Alpha Roland was her second chance.
‘Why would my mother have a second chance? A second chance, mate? That meant, she had a true mate, and it did not work
out? Could it be the king? And what did that mean for her?’

Alexia thought back to the times when she and the king spoke.
“Trust in your king.
‘You remind me of someone. Someone important to me.”
‘Alexia, child. Sometimes, we make mistakes in our lives, but the regret of making those mistakes can really haunt you for life.
These lines were from the ball when the king danced with Alexia. It made her wonder what King Balthasar meant.
It wasn’t just the words. Now that Alexia thought about it, there was sadness in the king’s eyes, suggesting a deeper meaning to
his statement.
‘Could the king and my mother be involved? Could I really be the king’s daughter?’ Alexia wondered.
Unfortunately for Alexia, the king remained unresponsive. She reached for his hand and held it firmly, wishing she would find the
answers soon. If the king was her father, it explains how Alpha Roland mistreated her. If she was not, then why was he so good
to her? To the point that she ordered her marriage to Kieran?
Alexia caressed King Balthasar’s hand and softly said, “My King, please wake up. Please be well. I have so many questions, and
Kieran needs help. He needs you, My King.”
“Can you hear me, My King? This is Alexia,” she sought. “Please fight the poison. Be strong. Take back the palace and lead the
people of Taplean. I fear the queen’s plans.”
“Luna, Alexia, maybe it’s time to let the king rest,” one guard said.
She nodded and gripped the king’s hand one last time. Alexia looked at the king’s face, and just before releasing his hand, she
felt his fingers move. Chills ran down her spine, thinking of the possibility, but before she knew it, the king’s hand had no
strength.
Alexia shook her head, thinking, ‘Maybe I was mistaken. She looked to the skies and asked the heavens, ‘Please, Moon
Goddess, save the king for the sake of Taplean.’
Almost half of the pack began their move the next day, away from the main territory. Some were heading to Alpha Declan and
Alpha Baxter’s Pack, while the others would faithfully follow Kieran wherever he went.
For the entire day, wherever Alexia went around the town, she saw
families hugging each other, erving, and saving their goodbyes. It was such a painful sight. For a pack that was strongly bonded,
parting was so dificult
Alexia’s friends, Melissa and Dean, decided to move back to the River Crow Pack Then families naturally left with them.
Jason and Rae led the group heading to the Cross River Pack first, while Kieran and Alexia traveled to where Morgan lived, the
half-witch Kieran hoped Morgan could heal the king, and she had the same sentiments,
For hours, they traveled on land with over twenty of Kieran’s men securing their path. The King’s guard ont live of them, were

focused
mainly on the king’s well being
Alexia did not realize how long they were on the road, for she dozed off in the middle of the trip. When she woke up, they had
already arrived. Immediately, the king was presented to Morgan
Inside her house, Morgan assessed the king, It was already in the morning when she came out with a solution. She said, “The
poison has reached the king’s bloodstream. I tried to take some of the poison out, but it wasn’t enough. The only solution I can
think of is the secure the fire root. I can mix a medicinal potion with that Miracle Root.”
Alexia and Kieran had been waiting in the living room of Morgan’s home. They had fallen asleep there overnight, together with
the king’s guards. Alexia sought. “The fire root? The same plant found at the crater of Mount Netarious? Isn’t that suicidal?”
“I’m afraid it is,” Morgan confirmed. “But the root has the most medical properties amongst all plants. That’s why it is also called
The Miracle Root. It is said to be blessed by the Moon Goddess. Only this can save the king. My magic can only do so much.”
“I’ll go,” Kieran quickly stood. “I will never give up on My King.”
