Chapter 52
Her king
Alexandra's POV
I watched as my husband wore his fighting suite with tears dripping from my eyes. It's the day I never wanted to come. The day I'm sure we will lose someone dear to us.
Families and friends were saying goodbye to the men. The warriors are on the front line while the soldiers will be on the back.
Guards will protect the castle. Brandon was more anxious about me and the baby. He said that one heartbreak was enough to know what it will be like if he loses one of us.
"Be careful B!" I cried. He came towards me and hugged me tight.
"I love you Alexa. Please you be careful. You and this little warrior will be fine. Okay?" I nodded not being able to speak. He held my hand and we went downstairs where everyone was.
"Grandpa?" I asked shocked.
"Alex! I'm sorry about your baby." He whispered.
"It's okay. What are you doing here?"
"Your parents and Lea came to me. They said there was a war. Do you expect me to watch from aside. You're the queen now. I'll protect the people you love too." He said.
"Thank you." I hugged him tightly.
"Your highness my troops are ready." Robert Rosely said. It has been awhile since I last saw him.
"Thank you Robert." Brandon said.
"King Brandon." A feminine voice said. I turned to see a very beautiful woman standing with guards around her.
"Princess Gwen." Brandon nodded at her.
"Who's that?" I whispered only for Brandon to hear.
"Princess of Greymont. They are here for help." I nodded.
"Krayelon kingdom didn't think we would be allies with Greymont that's why Andrew was sent there. He knew about Laura being the traitor. I mean the fake one."
"You both knew? And you let her near me? What if she wasn't on our side? She could've killed my baby!" I glared at him.
"Sweetheart-"
"No. I'm going back to our room."
I entered my room and sat on the bed. Those pregnancy's hormones are going to kill me. I wasn't mad but I don't know why I snapped.
"Alexa." Brandon knocked on the door. "Please talk to me." He pleaded. I sighed.
"Come in." I said.
"I'm sorry sweetheart I-"
"I should say sorry. I don't know why I snapped at you. Blame the pregnancy." I said with puppy eyes.
"Come here." He rolled his eyes playfully and I hugged him.
"Please come back safe." I mumbled.
"I will." He kissed my head.
"Your highness you got to see this." Conor said.
We followed up to the top of the castle where we could have a view for miles away. We stepped out and looked at the direction Conor was showing us. What we saw was pure terror.
Thousands and thousands of soldiers were coming towards us from the side of the forest. I felt a huge lump in my lungs and stopped breathing for a second.
"Omg!" I put a hand on my mouth. We could here the thump of the horses becoming louder and louder.
"Conor prepare the troops. We'll meet them halfway. We won't let them near the castle." Brandon ordered. "Alexa stay here. And I mean it don't leave the castle walls. People are already in the safe rooms under ground. Go to them." I nodded.
"Please be careful." I said. He nodded and when he made sure that Conor left and we were alone he bent down and kissed my stomach and left.

Brandon's POV
"Don't forget your training. Kill them all. I don't want hostages. Unleash the beast inside of you." I told my warriors and soldiers.
"Yes sir." They boomed.
I got on my horse and with a nod to my men we headed to war. We outnumbered them I know that. But we don't know anything about their strength. I'm eager to shed some blood. I smirked at the thought.
We met them halfway and they halted. Elena and the king of Krayelon were standing at the front line.
"Elena I suggest you stop this. You'll lose either way."
"My dear Brandon. You chose that queen over me. She isn't fit. Leave her and take me I'll stop this."
"This isn't about you. It's about our revenge. We want that bitch that killed our uncle." Another voice said.
"It's war then. Arrows!" I yelled and took out my sword aiming for the enemy.
I took steps back regaining my position with the men and those with the arrows shot them towards Elena troops. Many were killed by the arrows but Elena managed to stay alive.
I ran towards them with my men. One of them had the balls to attack me but I cut his neck with my sharp sword. Another two came to me. I dodged the first with my shield and stabbed the other in his heart. I then turned and stabbed the first in his stomach.
I could smell the strong smell of blood everywhere and it helped my beast to kill more. It has been already ten minutes and I killed more than 50 one of them. They were so weak. I bet they weren't trained.
We were winning the battle. Elena was looking around frantically. Oh yeah bitch time to die.
"Die bitch." I aimed my sword at her but she dodged me.
"You think you will win?" She laughed. We continued swinging our swords at each other.
"I regret every minute I loved you. I hate every time I held your hand and kissed you." That made her angrier.
"You changed when I left you. That means you were so in love with me."
"No I didn't. I changed only for Alexa. My Alexa." I smirked and she yelled trying to aim at my neck.
"How was the death of your baby?" She smirked and I smirked back. She thought I would still be grieving and bringing that topic but she knew nothing.
"We'll have all the time of the world to have more babies."
"I killed her! The queen is dead." Someone yelled.
Someone who wasn't with me. The man that talked earlier. The man who's uncle was killed by Alexa. He was drenched in blood. My sweetheart's blood.
My heart stopped. Everything stopped. I couldn't think. I couldn't fight. Alexa is dead.
Alexa is dead.
All I saw was red. I killed with no mercy. I ran towards that man and stabbed him in the heart while maintaining eye contact with him until he paled and his soul left his body.
"You're all dead." I roared and my voice seemed inhuman.
They're dead. Alexa and the baby and this time it wasn't a lie.
