CHAPTER SIX: I HATE WHORES

Apollo’s POV

I released Ryder, who was pinned to the wall with my claws digging into his skin. He coughed up blood and glared at me, but I ignored him. My attention was on Zelda, who was packing her clothes as I had instructed her. I couldn't bear to look at her. She had become pregnant by another man and was pretending to be innocent. I despised women like her.

I had been trying to break her, to make her beg for my forgiveness on her knees, just like her parents wanted. But she was still resisting. She was afraid of me, and that pleased me.

Without wasting a moment, I took out my car keys and grabbed her hand tightly. She fought back, but a single glare from me was enough to make her calm down. The warriors and servants watched as we left the packhouse. They respected me, for I was the soon-to-be alpha of my pack.

We entered the garage, and I dragged her towards my car. She struggled, but I held her firmly. I opened the door and pushed her inside. She fell onto the seat, and I got into the driver's seat.

"You know, Sweetheart," I said, breaking the silence. "You really messed up. You should never have slept with him."

"I didn't sleep with him," she whispered, tears streaming down her face.

"Then who did you sleep with? I bet if I leave you in the streets to die, the man who got you pregnant will come running to save you," I demanded.

"You got me pregnant! You asshole! You are the only one I have slept with recently," she said barely above a whisper.

"Language. You should lower your tone when talking to an Alpha like me! I didn’t get you pregnant, and secondly, I hate whores," I said, my voice low and menacing.

I glanced over at her and saw the fear in her eyes. It gave me a sense of power, knowing that I could make her feel that way.

My hands were shaking as I started the car and drove out of Ryder's packhouse. I saw Ryder standing by the gate, blocking me from passing.

"Please don't do this, don't take her out there, she will die," he said. "Why are you doing this, man?" he asked, his tone laced with concern.

"I have my reasons," I replied, my voice cold and distant.

I stepped on the gas, not caring that Ryder was standing on the other side of the car. When he saw that I was going to hit him, he moved out of the way, along with his warriors who were standing behind him. I broke open the gate of the packhouse with my car and drove out onto the cold morning road, glancing at Zelda, who was breathing heavily in the back seat.

Halfway down the road, I searched for a deserted area to drop her off that was away from my friend's packhouse. "Beg for my forgiveness, and I will accept you as my mate," I spoke coldly. She glared at me with disgust.

"Is that all?" she mocked.

"You're right, that's not all. I will only accept you if you abort the child in your womb. I can't raise another man's child; I am an Alpha wolf," I said firmly.

"I won't do it," Zelda replied, her voice resolute.

"You leave me no choice," I replied, my eyes narrowing in anger.

Zelda tried her best not to cry and looked me straight in the eyes. No one had ever done that before; I was a little amazed.

"Go to hell!" she spat out. "I don't know why you're doing all this, but you'll regret your decisions one day, you prick!" she cursed.

"I never regret my decisions," I said confidently. "I'm too smart to make mistakes." She let out an annoying laugh.

I angrily stopped the car in the middle of the road while other cars zoomed past us. "Get out, since you don't want to ask for forgiveness," I declared. Zelda looked outside at the busy road from the backseat of the car. She knew that if she got out and didn't get hit by a car, it would be a miracle.

"Please, Apollo," she pleaded, her voice trembling with fear. "Don't do this."

"You are not allowed to address me formally," I replied sternly. "Make a decision, or else I will leave you in the streets where no one will find you, not even Ryder. You will become lost and probably die of starvation with your baby."

Zelda began hitting her head against the edge of the seat, causing pain in my chest despite my rejection. However, I didn't let it show and maintained a cold demeanor. Zelda searched for an object in the car to cut herself with, to test whether I would react if she harmed herself since I was her mate. I noticed this and turned off the car completely.

"Stop it," I said, my voice filled with anger. "Get out of my car. That's an order." She tried to protest, but she couldn’t disobey the alpha’s order, so she ran out of the car and narrowly crossed the busy road to the other side.

I clutched my chest, trying my best not to look at her, and made a U-turn in the direction of Ryder's packhouse. I tried my best not to look at her in the side mirror, even though I wanted to hate her.

"Is she really telling the truth? Is she really carrying my child?" I asked my wolf, Hawk, but got no response. Since the day we accidentally killed Matilda, my human ex-girlfriend in our wolf form, he hadn't been the same. He isolated himself, and sometimes I feel like I don't have a wolf anymore.

Suddenly a car double-crossed me, almost causing an accident. I slammed on the brakes and looked out of the window to see who was inside the car, but the windows were tinted, and I couldn't see anything.

My anger boiled over, and I got out of my car to confront the person. As I approached the car, I could see a figure inside, but I still couldn't make out who it was.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I yelled, my voice full of rage.
