Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 178 Revealed
Shilah flinched immediately and stood up, her heart pounding heavily in her chest. Fire? What’s happening?
She jumped out of the bed and looked around for something she could quench the fire with. Water.
Thankfully, there was a full jar on the table and unhesitatingly, she took it up and poured it on the burning curtain, tearing it down as well to quench the fire.
A while later, and everything was quenched down – except for Shilah’s heart which was still beating faster than it should.
She stared into her opened palms, bewildered at what had just happened. How was it possible that fire had emanated from her palms? Or was she dreaming?

King Dakota walked into the meeting hall, pleased at the completed number of people in attendance. They were all seated round a long table, relaxed and watching as he marched in. But the moment he got close enough, they all stood up.
“Greetings, Alpha King” they lowered their heads, staying that way until Dakota had taken his seat at the head of the table.
“Sit” he ordered calmly, and in unison, the Alphas and VampLords took their seats.
Lord Ryder was sitting just next to Dakota and was obviously the happiest. Of course, he couldn’t wait to hear all about the war and how the King plans on going about it. He couldn’t wait to listen to the beginning of Dakota’s downfall.
“I trust you all had a smooth ride coming here?” Dakota asked, leaning back on his chair.
“Definitely, Alpha King. The weather was nice and friendly”.
“I actually stopped by a brothel here and the ladies were as welcoming as always”.
“The fruits are my favorites”.
Few of them gave their replies, others chuckled.
“That’s all good to hear” Dakota sighed. “And now, I think we should all get to down to the main reason I called for this meeting”.
Now, that was Ryder’s favourite.
“Ten months ago, My fourth wife – Shilah – was shot by an unknown person when she had gone to get some herbs outside the walls of the Palace. We studied the poison from the arrow and discovered it was made from the blood of a witch. It gave me the impression that the witches was behind it, and so, I rode all the way to their Palace and confronted them. And although, their Supreme Sister swore she had nothing to do with it, I didn’t believe them.
“I decided to give them a chance, but few days ago, My Step-brother – Prince Raksha – was shot by yet, an unknown person. And examining the poison from the arrow, it turned out to be that of a witch”.
“What??” Lord Osric flinched – a VampLord from a smaller clutch.
“Are the witches trying to prove something? Are they trying to challenge us?”
“That will be the d*um*best thing they’d have ever done in their lifetime” Another seconded.
“I hate it when females think they can level up with their Superiors. They have powers, we have swords, fangs and claws, Alpha. Let’s show them how it’s done!”
Lord Ryder remained calm on his seat, a small smile on his lips and obviously enjoying the show. And as for King Dakota, he just stayed still and let the others pour out their hearts.
When he noticed they were done and quiet, he went on.
“The next thing we should do is go for a war”.
“Yes!” Three Alphas supported in unison.
“Which, of course, is exactly what one of us wants terribly” the King’s words hit differently the moment they left his lips – creating a stunned silence in the room.
Ryder’s eyes had grown dimmer, the smile on his vanishing with the past wind.
