571 Want It All (Ch.572)

Alessio awakened to a burning pain spreading from his wrists and a quiet groan escaped him as he sat up.

This was not the first time he would wake up to this dungeon, to the pain of the silver cuffs around his wrists, or to the deathly silence.

Alessio glanced down at his wrist, red and raw as the silver burnt through steadily, a continuous process of healing over only to be burned again at the slightest movement.

"Fancy." Alessio murmured to himself, sitting up to lean against the wall.

When Alessio was well seated, he then picked up on it, the sound of approaching footsteps.

Thump...thump... thump...

Alessio could recognize that haunting sound long before a word was spoken.

"Well, if it isn't the new Alpha King..." A taunting voice sounded from the shadows.

Alessio slowly lifted his gaze, unfazed to find Alpha King Lothaire staring back at him, a smirk set on his lips.
