The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026: SIDE STORY (DEXTER): THE BRIGHT LIGHT

"I had a woman before. She died." Dexter looked at Letto.

Dexter didn’t want to remember about this, but in the past, he used to have a woman that he liked, but with the life that he lived in, it was not possible to have someone by his side without risking their life.

Aria.

That woman’s name was Aria.

That woman was beautiful. Her smile was the brightest and Dexter had never seen someone, who could make him forgot about all the adversity in his life.

How long it had been since the last time he saw her? Twenty years? Twenty five years?

After all, the two of them were very young, probably sixteen? Seventeen? Dexter lost count. He was no longer counting days and just breezed through this life.

Aria. Her name was beautiful, just like her.

She had dimples on both of her cheeks, her brown eyes and brown hair made brown became the color that Dexter loved.

Every time she talked, her eyes would twinkle and even after so many years had passed, Dexter still remembered the day he met her for the first time.

He was the son of the head of their secret community, where his father was a respected figure and that day, his father took him and his sister to visit a small village.

It was a very poor village in the middle of nowhere, where people had to walk five hours to reach the nearby city.

But, of course, this was a perfect place for people like them. These people were easily fooled. These people were the perfect target for their ritual...

"You must be Sir Zeke’s son."

A young girl approached Dexter with a jar of water, she gave it to him with a bright smile on her lips. Water was difficult to get, but for the villagers’ gratitude for Zeke and his people’s help, they made their stay here became more pleasant.

Zeke came with a lot of food and opportunity for business in the city.

"Yes."

"What’s your name?"

Dexter had never had a friend, especially someone at his age, the people that around him would be his father’s follower and they definitely couldn’t fall into a friend category, the only person that was around his age was his sister.

"Dexter."

Dexter was not sure whether this was the right thing to do, because he was not supposed to be friendly with anyone, but he thought, this girl wouldn’t do any harm on him.

More so, he was a magic user, what this girl could do to him?

"I am Aria!" she said, it sounded like a song for him.

And since that day, Dexter would often be seen with her. She took him to play around with the other kid and even take him with her parents to the city.

"You shouldn’t be so close with her."

His father said one day. He looked at Dexter in the eyes. His son was very obedient, but recently, he started to give a sign of rebelling.

He spent so much time with the people here and created unnecessary bond with them.

"You will be in trouble if you created a bond with them. We are leaving in two weeks."

"What about this village?"

"This is not the first time, right? You know what will happen."

This was not the first poor village that they visited and of course, this wouldn’t be the last, but for all the villages that they had visited, it would be definitely their last.

"Don’t get involved with her too much. It will be difficult for you."

After saying that, Zeke left his son alone, but Dexter didn’t show any reaction. He just stood there and stared at his father’s back.

Two weeks and then this village would be vanished. The people would disappear and he knew exactly what would happen to them.

Two weeks.

"In two weeks will have a festival!" Aria said, she approached Dexter, as she climbed the rock and stared at the dessert. The sun was so bright, but it didn’t bother them at all. "This will be the first time our village will hold a festival, it’s all thank to your father. He is a very great man!"
