Chapter 63
My hands shook as I hastily opened the envelope with my heart racing like it was in a marathon race, pounding against my chest while I pondered what could be in the letter. I don’t know what to expect, but what mattered to me the most was that he wasn’t killed by Selene when he returned that day.
And the fact that whatever Diana had in mind to do to him, which made her allow him to take the decision of leaving without trying to stop him, obviously didn’t work.
I had been kept here for a long time because Diana still had a little doubt about him being alive, even though it was clear that there was no way. It would only take a matter of time before she got convinced that my brother was no more. She was just taking precautions.
I ɓbay opened it and smiled, recognizing his handwriting. Yes, it was him. The letter was actually from him, clearly convincing me with no doubt that he is alive and healthy.
Tears formed in my eyes, streaming down my cheeks as I read his heartfelt messages. The care and love in every word he wrote were very obvious, and there was even a dried drop of tears in the middle.
His whole writeup was to check up on me and see if I was still alive and healthy. He told me that once I see the letter. I should not be worried at all because he is close to saving me from this.
“Where is he now?” I looked up, asking the maid, but she shook her head.
“I have no idea.” She replied and took back the letter, then walked away.
Diana’s POV
I sat on the bed in my room, lost in thought, as I kept racking my brain to find out the perfect plan to launch a single blow that would bring an end to Selene once and for all.
The only idea in my head was her baby. The unborn child is the only thing remaining that I knew would touch her to the deepest part when I attacked from that angle.
The connection between mother and daughter isn’t one to ignore, and that is solely why I needed to get that sword as as possible.
soon
The death of her child will weaken her, and with the sword, I’ll really stand a chance. Her mate isn’t in trouble since the demon king can take him out with the demon warriors. Selene is the main deal. If I find a way to get her out of the way, my victory is sure.
As I sat there thinking, my mind flashed to Ria and her new–found love, sending sour feelings through my body. I growled in frustration, my fist clenching tight.
That relationship is a big risk. A very dangerous one that could put everything I planned in jeopardy. I don’t know how, but I don’t feel safe knowing that those two are seeing each other. He is a werewolf and a warrior, someone who has been trained to fight for his pack. He has them in his heart and will rather die than allow anything to happen to them
Does Ria even know this?
She might want to keep it a secret, but there is absolutely no way he won’t find out, and when he does, he will find a way to spoil everything. Even with the promise of being safe when the destruction occurs, he won’t succumb.
Ria might tell him that he won’t be among those to be ruled by demons, and also his family and friends, but as a warrior, I am sure he won’t follow that path of eloping instead of helping his own people.
Why the hell did Ria choose him of all the people in this pack? Now if I kill him, she will do the same to herself. If I keep him alive, he will spoil my plans.
Fuck it!
Chapter 63
I cursed, and at that moment, the alpha walked in. Well, calling him the Alpha is just so sour in my mouth, and we all know he is nothing close to an Alpha right now. He is my puppet, and I only call him Alpha to keep my cover from getting blown. The whole community has to be in the dark until I unleash my terror.
The way he walks has totally changed–no longer firm and daring, but now his shoulders slump and his stature is a bit slouchy. He doesn’t have a voice of his own or the ability to do anything without my permission.
He is my toy, abiding by every single one of my rules.
As he stepped into the room, he flinched at seeing me, then bowed, his body shivering a bit and his fingers fidgeting.
“What are you here for?” I snarled, running my gaze through his face.
“Please, I am very hungry. Please tell the maid to get food for me. He begged like a child, asking for a lollipop, his voice slurry and tone breaking in and out.
“It’s not time yet. You need to cat around evening time so it will last for the day. If you eat now, you will be hungry in the night, so go back to the palace. I will call you for food when I decide.”
His eyes became wet, and I could hear the grumbling of his stomach. His breath was fast and heavy as he tried changing my mind
“Please I…”
“Get out, or I’ll order the guards to drag you away. Stop making me stress my voice!” I rasped, and he sulked in, wiped the tears off his eyes, and turned to the door, walking sluggishly like his legs were too heavy to carry.
“Better compose yourself. Don’t ever make it known that things aren’t as they should be in the palace. The more you act like a weakling the more..
“Please stop talking to me. Your voice and words are like venom to my soul, and I can’t bear hearing them. I did nothing for you to deserve all this. This pain and suffering even after I had treated you like my world.” He was crying, literally shedding tears with sweat smeared all over his face.
“Cry more, baby. I will get milk for you to take, or you can come and suck my breasts. Fool! Get the out of my face!” I spat, and he left, his feet barely on the ground.
I burst into laughter, enjoying every bit of it. His suffering is like a fresh breath for my soul. I don’t care if he wronged me or not; what I care about is the suffering of every single werewolf.
After a week, Ria will get the sword for me, and I will use that same sword to kill her and the stupid guy she is calling her boyfriend; both of them are going into the grave like Romeo and Juliet.
*She really believed me when I told her I’d let her go free with whoever she wanted. That daft of hers Nobody is leaving here alive. You either stay here as a slave or die off.
Torian’s POV
My mate is gone, and her father is gone. He is just living but dead inside. I was in the palace when he told me he was going to beg Luna for food.
He whispered this to me with his stomach sound, showing he was actually dying of hunger. It didn’t take five minutes before he was back, fighting his tears and trying hard not to cry, but his body was shaking and there was no food in his hands, which means Luna had declined his request.
He didn’t say anything to me but went to the throne and sat silently.
1 felt really bad for him.
“You didn’t get what you went to ask for, right? When are you eating for the day then?” I asked, exhaling, and he looked up to ne. The tears he had been holding back flowed like rivers down his cheeks.
.47 Mon, May
Chapter 63
“Is there anything worth living? Please tell me why I am alive. Just one reason.” He muttered, sniffing his tears.
“To meet your daughter, You’re alive for your daughter, and I know no matter what you did to her, she won’t allow you to“
“For how long shall I wait? I can’t keep living like this. It’s too much for me to bear. I have life, but it is not mine. This pack calls me their alpha but doesn’t know that I own nothing, not even my own life. All the decisions I take are hers, and I have turned into something else because thats what she wants me to be.”
He was pouring out his heart, and I didn’t even know what to say, realizing fully well that I’m not an exception. We are all in this together, because even my pack will be handed to her once she asks for it. That’s the deal.
The mistake we made was never meeting her and giving her the opportunity to use and manipulate us. I recall that I was actually head over heels in love with a demon like her without even knowing it. My mother is dead, killed in a gruesome way by the same woman I thought was my soulmate.
Had I known then….
Look at my mate, whom the moon goddess blessed me with; that was who I rejected and pushed out of my life just to please no one else than Diana, the demon that is now tormenting my life.
That was a huge mistake, but the hand of the clock can’t be rewinded. I just hope, some way, one day, we will get that second chance to set things right.
I know I will never have my mate back, but at least I will get my life back and be able to start afresh. I will find a girl to love, who will also love me, and we will grow to get used to each other.
Bale also deserves some peace, joy, and happiness at his age. He needs to enjoy the fruit of his labor, which is his special daughter, whom he was blessed with.
Selene is a gift, and with her, the whole world can be under our feet. She has the greatest power out there. Every pack and even kingdoms of other mystical beings will want to seek refuge under her arm, and that will make them accept merging with us
This pack will grow to become a large empire with millions of people. A dream of every alpha out there. It was given to Bale on a platter of gold, but he kicked it away.
Diana, a demon, made him turn against his own child, which was a blessing.
