Chapter 2

REYNA…

My eyes slowly opened for me to stare at the rooftop, I swirled my neck by the side to see a maid arranging my room. 

I wiped my face after examining the soft king sized bed that I was laid.

"Wait! Is this still Denver Pack? Did I pass out before him?" I muttered, drawing the attention of the maid.

She walked closer to the bed smiling, she bowed before me while I threw heavy glares at her.

What the hell does she think she's doing? Bowing before me as what? I released a loud hiss and climbed down from the bed. 

"Your majesty, the king ordered that you stay indoors until you fully get yourself." The maid announced to me. 

I turned, twisting my lips. "Did I ever tell you that I'm sick?" My voice raising at each word, he made it known to me that I'll meet my ancestors. Isn't it better to meet them now that keeping me hanging. 

"Where is he?" I scolded the young lady.

She glanced around. "Who are you talking about?"

I felt like hitting her that moment, but I didn't want to do anything stupid that would worsen things for me.

"The so called king." I blurted. 

She quivered. "Ummm! In his chamber I think."

I can recall where the chamber is, that's exactly where I passed out. I twitched out of the room and hit the door hard, making my way towards the chamber. 

He was busy alone when I came in, then I walked closer to him and touched him.

"Didn't you see a maid when you woke up? She's supposed to drop an order that I gave." He said without turning, then how sure was he that I was the one who touched him?

Does he have four sights? Is he a ghost? I scoffed and sighed heavily, I'm very sure that he's a devil.

"Why are you here?" He finally turned to me, drawing me out of my thoughts. 

"To ask when I'll be murdered, I'll like it to be now or you send me back to greycrest pack." I slammed angrily. 

He walked past me to his throne. "Have you eaten? You can't die with an empty stomach."

Gosh! He's more irritating than I thought. 

I turned backwards to face him. "I'll never taste a cup of water here, just kill me already or send me back."

"You have no right to tell me what to do, I'll do what I want with you." His voice filled with fear.

And what does that mean? Is he planning to enslave me here?

"Get back to your room, I'll send for you when I need you."

On hearing that, I sat on the floor. I know so well that the room is so comforting, but I'm not going back there until he tells me what he has to do with me.

I could sense danger, but I know I won't lose my life. He has a reason for capturing me, and that's what I want to hear.

"Are you deaf? Stand and leave." He shrieked at me.

I shook my head. "Until you tell me why you abducted me."

He dropped his staff and moved towards me, I watched to see what he was up to until he lifted me into his arms.

What the fuck? I tried to hit him but couldn't. "Get me down you bastard." I cursed him in anger, and it was all in vain.

He walked out of the chamber and moved forward into a different room that happened to be larger than mine, then he dropped me on the sofa.

"You shouldn't dare use swear words on me again or I'll rip off your tongue." He warned me, his eyes glowing like a fire.

His voice could tell how fierce he is. 

"So, why…"

"Shut your mouth and follow my order, failure to obey any, I'll roast your ass in a flame of fire." He threatened me. 

I released a hot breath through my mouth, this is tougher than I thought. Just like he ordered, I was mute but was trying to spill out at least a word to him.

My eyes darted round the room, it was so enormous and beautiful. His dinning was set apart, and I could see a set of food on it.

Fuck! I won't dare to eat anything or he might think that I've collided already. 

He pulled out his belt and cloak, then walked to the dinning. 

"Come over here and get seated." He referred to me.

I chiseled my face. "Sorry, but I don't feel like eating anything."

He turned, gazing at me. "Did you just forget my order? Come over here and get seated." His voice thundered, causing me to jump off from the sofa to the dinning. 

I quietly took a seat opposite him.

"Start eating." He ordered me, but I shook my head. 

"I've lost my…"

"Take that spoon and do as I say." He cut in.

I took the spoon but ate nothing. After several seconds, he noticed that the food was still untouched. 

"Don't dare me, Reyna." He scolded me, fuming in anger.

"I'll only eat if you tell me how and why I'm here. Both of us know that this is not my pack, so you don't have to expect me to be mute." I replied to him, but my voice was filled with respect. 

Besides, I was already scared of his voice. 

He dropped his spoon and assisted his jaw with his right palm. "What is it that you want to know?"

"Every hidden thing." I replied to him.

He nodded, "I'll do that once you start eating."

On hearing that, I quickly filled the spoon twice into my mouth, then I lifted my face again. "Start."

He sipped from his cup of water. "You're betrothed to me, and there's no going back again."

I spitted the food in my mouth on the floor, then covered my mouth with my palm. "What did you just say now? Who is it that betrothed me to you?"

He dropped his spoon and stood up, "It's obvious that you heard me, yet you want me to repeat myself." He came closer to me. "Derrick betrothed you to me by demand, and you'll just be my breeder."

Out of anger, I hit my palm on the table. Thanks to the moon goddess that I damaged nothing, or he would have pounced on me.

"That asshole had the guts to give me out without my awareness. What does he think he's doing? And, what's his demand for doing this?" I walked closer to him, staring right into his eyes this time. 

He walked backwards, was mute for a while before he began his explanation. 

"He will be the next in command to the Alpha of greycrest pack, and then will happily live with your mother." He got seated. "You don't have to worry, your mother is well convinced that you're dead."

My heart was burning in anger on hearing his story. Derrick reached the extent of exchanging me with a beta title after everything he has done. 

I'm so sure that he's responsible for the death of my father, but I need to get evidence before I start anything that I'm up to. 

"And……" He continued. "You'll give me a son, once you do that for me, he will get the title as he demanded, and you'll be set free from my cage." 

I swallowed bitterly. 

He turned to me, since I was standing at his back. "Just a son, that's what I need from you Reyna. And I'll let you go." He added. 

Goosebumps fell on me countless times, and my eyes shut slowly. My feet couldn't bear the weight of my body any longer so I began stretching my hands in search of support.
