Alessio glanced up at the door before his eyes, once again, his feet had taken him back here, to the last place where traces of her scent still lingered.
In recent days, Alessio's path would always lead here, especially in those moments when he was lost in deep thoughts and unaware of his intended destination.
Before this time... Alessio could not even dare come out here, he could not reveal any form of weakness before his father.
'This was what it meant to be King... that there was no word that mattered but mine. That there be no terror greater than I...' Alessio thought to himself.
There was the sound of movement from the other end of the closed door and Alessio's eyes narrowed slightly.
'Someone is here...' Alessio thought to himself, reaching for the door knob.
Right before Alessio could take hold of the door knob, the door came open by itself and Alessio was faced with a wide eyed she wolf.
