Chapter 1: Accused!

~Zenaida~

This day is the busiest day of the pack for I was united with Alpha Alexander, the newly crowned alpha of the Red Moon Pack. Despite the fact that we were just arranged to make our pack stronger, I have no regrets for being mated to him because I've heard that he's a kind-hearted alpha. He's already waiting for me in our room and it's the time that I have to follow him. As I walked inside, my eyes widened from what I found out. Alpha Alexander was lying on the bed and our slave was beside him. They are naked and my heart started pounding so fast from what I saw.

“What is this, Alexander?”

The Alpha smirked, moving away from the bed. He doesn't care if he's naked and still continues walking in my direction. I tried to open the door but it was locked. Something was not right and I feel it now. 

“I know you're tired from the preparation of our wedding, and I was also busy preparing for this. Aren't you happy?”

I coughed hard because of what he told me. My eyes diverted to the slave on the bed and she was crying.

“What is the slave doing here, Alexander?”

I still asked him despite the pounding of my heart and he laughed. 

“I can't believe you will be this slow. What do you think we will do here? Inside the room?” 

My fists clenched, teeth gritted in anger when the events started to sink in my head. I have realized that everything Alexander showed us from earlier was not true. He was just pretending to fool us. I was wrong about my impression of him. He's an asshole!

“Whatever you're thinking, you can't continue that. Don't you dare continue that!?”

I screamed at his face. Annoyed by what I did, Alexander grabs my wrist and holds it tightly.

“Do you think you can still escape from me? We are already married and whatever I want, you have no choice but to obey me. If I want you to make out with me with that slave, you will obey it. Did you get it?”

Tears fell from my eyes but I didn't utter a word. It made him annoyed, so he pulled my hair to make me agree. 

“You're a monster!” 

Laughing, Alexander let me go. He burst out laughing as if he found my words funny.

“Yes, I am a monster and you will love it. Do you think I will be nice to you? That's not even possible because I am not nice!?”

I felt so down now thinking what my life could be in the hands of this monster. This is supposed to be our first night as married but what did he do?

He showed me his bad side and if this goes well, I don't know what could be my life with him. I will suffer, that's for sure.

“Alexander… It hurts.”

Alexander loosen his grip on me until he finally let go of me. He moved his hand and caressed my face. I was expecting that he would change his mind but the next thing he did pushed me to kick his ass.

“Damn!”

He screamed in pain and that's the time I ran away to escape. I opened the door but before I could get out, Alexander reached me. The slave rushed out without helping me escape from this monster. My heart was still pounding so fast while tears kept falling from my eyes. The moment I had the chance to escape, I grabbed it and ran through the veranda of his room.

I looked down to figure out if I was able to jump. Alexander followed me, still laughing. 

“You want to jump?”

My attention turned to him, eyes pleading. I don't know how to jump and there's no other way out aside from talking to Alexander to stop all of this.

“Stop this, Alexander. We can still talk about it. I will not tell everyone what you tried to do at me and—”

However, Alexander's ears were closed to listen to me. He grabbed me again, forcing me to kiss him. I fought back but he's an alpha. My strength is of no use to him. One wrong move by Alexander would be my end. I can't stop him anymore. He became a monster and I am his prey. I was fooled. Alexander was good at pretending to be kind but the truth is, he's not kind.

The alpha began to tear my clothes. My body felt weakened after he punched me on the stomach. I know this is now the end of my life but at least I've tried to fight back. If I die, I will accept it and it is much better because I won't suffer in his hands. I won't be able to experience the worst thing he can do with me. 

“Tonight, you will be mine, Zenaida. I will continue my plans after this and make sure that you can't escape out of it.” 

Closing my eyes, I waited for whatever Alexander was about to do with me. What can I do to an alpha like him? 

I am just a woman. A woman who doesn't have enough strength to fight an alpha like him. There's only one thing I could do about it. That is to accept my fate and when I am already in that realization, a loud gunshot echoed in the place where Alexander and I were standing. My world stopped, slowly turned my head to where that sound came from and then…

A pair of red eyes met mine. I can't seem to move from my direction to divert it away. A force stopped me from moving away. It looks like I was hypnotized by those eyes and fears filled my heart.

If it's not because of Alexander, I wouldn't be able to turn my head away. Alpha Alexander fell to the ground, covered with his own flesh and that was the moment when I realized that the gunshot I heard was for the alpha. 

“Alexander…”

I called his name but he didn't speak up. My eyes went back to where I saw those red eyes and then to Alexander. His gun was in his coat on the table. I took it to protect myself because I am afraid that the red eyes I saw from the dark will go after me. But the moment I held the gun, a lot of pack wolves entered the room and were now looking at me. 

My heart suddenly pounded when I realized that I was holding Alexander's gun and before anything could happen, I released it. 

However, it was already too late. They are screaming something which made my world stop moving for a little while.

“She killed the Alpha! She killed him!” 

I stepped back, tears fell from my eyes as I looked up to them.

“No… I didn't kill him. Somebody killed him and I saw it!”

I begged them to listen but I was already in trouble. A really big trouble after what they found out.

“Zenaida Sandoval, you are arrested for killing Alpha Alexander. A life sentence will be given to you for what you did.”

And they drag me out of the room with no hesitation.
