That night, while she slept curled on the cold floor like a small kitten, Alaric finally stood up—fully, effortlessly.
Recovered long ago.
He looked down at her small frame.
“If you stay here,” he murmured darkly, “you’ll starve.”
His eyes softened—barely.
“You’re coming with me.”
His voice was a quiet command only the night heard.
A mafia king did not repeat himself.
And in the morning…
Pihu’s life would change forever.
Next morning
The decision
Alaric stepped back and held out his hand.
“Come with me, Pihu.”
She stared at it, trembling.
“I… I don’t know anything about the world.”
“Then I’ll show it to you.”
“I’m scared.”
“I know.”
He smirked very slightly.
“I like your courage anyway.”
Slowly, she placed her small hand in his large one.
And that tiny gesture changed everything.
The beginning of their story
He took her out of the abandoned building, his long coat wrapping around her to keep her warm. She walked at his side, still trembling, still unsure—but no longer alone.
Alaric Moretti, the man who once ruled the world with ice, now had something more precious to protect.
And Pihu, the girl who had never been loved…
Finally had someone who would burn the world before letting her be hurt again.
The moment the both come out the abandoned building they a long line of armed man standing like royal guards (which they are ) they all bow their heads to Alaric likes he Is the king (which he is )
one of the guard open the very expensive car door for Alaric and instead to settle in himself he turned towards Pihu and told her to get inside and everyone got shocked because he never let everyone sit beside him and I’d offering a tiny looking girl to sit inside the car was something new they never experience but no one said anything and Pihu was already shocked and confused that who is Alaric is and why are the mans bowing their she wanted to ask but couldn’t because she thought he will get angry so she kept quiet and sit in the car after we her Alaric also settle in the car and told the driver to start driving
all these things are new for Pihu she has not experienced this feeling before she was looking out of the window with tired smile. because is she exhausted she has eaten well and has not slept properly for days so after we sometimes she fall asleep and Alaric is looking at her more like staring at her he knew she is tired because of him she was taking care of him giving him her food potion as well and he is feeling guilty for that for pretending of being injured even to was
completely fine but he promised to his own self that she wouldn’t sleep without eating enough food he will take care of her from now on.
After sometime
Alaric took Pihu in his arms and carry her towards his jet
Pihu slept for the first time in years without fear.
She didn’t know that while she slept, the world outside was changing—because the man lying awake beside her was not just a mafia king as she believed…
but something far older, far more powerful.
Alaric Moretti’s purple-reddish eyes glowed faintly in the dark as he watched her small frame curled up under his coat. She had been so tired that she fell asleep the moment they got into the jet.
Yes. A private jet.
Pihu didn’t even realize she was flying toward a kingdom that did not exist on human maps.
His kingdom.
