The Alpha King's Mate novel Chapter 55

Countless trees begin to shake, and their trunks rip open. We all observe with excitement and intrigue as children climb out of the splintered trees. They are elemental sprites with eyes of many hues, including yellow, green, and pink.

Orc children with varying shades of green skin immediately giggle, play, and wrestle with one another. Cute little witches chase each other while waving their wands in the air.

The children halt, glance around, and cheerfully wave at one another before continuing to play tag together. The children pay no attention to the thousands of soldiers, warriors, and stunned villagers, who watch on, covered in dirt and blood from the recent battle.

Maia and I look up at each other in disbelief.

"What are we going to do with all these children?" I ask Maia,

"We will have to find them all families to live with, but in the meantime, how big is our castle?" She asks with a nervous giggle.

I look down at her big beautiful violet eyes.

"Oh no, no, Maia, let's think about this. There must be over a hundred children here?"

"Do we have enough room in our castle until they are all adopted?" She asks.

"The castle has plenty of room, but..." I sigh.

"It's settled then, and we can employ some nannies to help look after them until they are all adopted by loving families." Maia says happy with the plan.

I smile and no, liking the idea of nannies to help.

Maia

I run towards all the children and tap a little orc boy on the shoulder.

"Tag, you're it," I giggle and runoff.

He chases me, laughing.

"I'm going to get you," he yells.

Ember comes running up to me, leaps onto my chest, and knocks me to the ground. I playfully grab him and lift him into the air above me.

"Ember, I think everything is going to be okay now," I smile.
