CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR LEONA

Alpha Kane and Gilbert weren't the only ones here, there were other guards too, the skilled ones who had been assigned to me. Even if there weren't any, I wouldn't be able to win against Gilbert in this condition.

Alpha Kane had gotten to us so soon, and Gilbert, who my sister had trusted wasn't helping matters, he was 

here with Alpha Kane. I clutched more tightly to Fiona's hand. I wheeled my chair backward a bit like I could run away but I couldn't.

He moved closer to me as I could feel my heart leaping continuously out of fear but I didn't let go of Fiona.

I swallowed hard, awaiting what was going to happen. I had only put myself in danger and put Fiona in more danger. My thoughts went to the poor prisoners I had released too.

They were also in danger. If Alpha Kane found them, then he'd kill them.

I could see in his eyes as it screams anger, he was angry and was just about to show me. He gritted his teeth like an angry wolf would, making me more scared.

He was just inches away from me and I dreaded when he was going to finally stand close to me. I felt a sharp pain. Hera was hurting, with him being around here, she was hurting! It was just days after the rejection.

He finally came close and I lifted my gaze to match his, his face wasn't calm but was showing fire. Those blue orbs were sending fire at me.

His hands struck me across the cheeks and I felt the burning heat, he fucking hit me! His rings left marks on my face. My lips bleed as a result as I blinked my eyes multiple times trying to calm myself down.  My face twitched to the side against my wish and I swallowed hard.

The cheeks hurt but what hurts more was that I wouldn't be able to get out of here with Fiona and that is if even me can leave.

“You are a betrayal, you know that? Going back on your words??” He said and I only scoffed silently.

“You can't be trusted, you disabled rejected mate!” He yelled wanting to slap me again but sighed instead.

I smirked. Mate?? Guess he still sees me as his mate, though rejected.

“I can't be trusted?” I retorted, staring deeply into his eyes. Hell be to those people who said I couldn't look into his eyes.

“You break promises first, Alpha Kane, I would have kept to my end of the bargain if you had kept to yours in the first place, you should have kept Fiona out of this!” I yelled.

“And so because I didn't, you dare go against me, killing royal guards right in the palace and letting the prisoners I captured break free??” He asked and I felt my stomach churning.

He knew about everything already. But how? How so soon??

Almost immediately,  the people who had escaped with my help were brought to their knees in front of him. I know those weren't all but still, they were one of them.

Fear ate me up as I couldn't hide it. Those people had been brought back to him in just minutes. Alpha Kane had a smug smile on then I knew what had happened.

It dawned on me the trick Alpha Kane had played on me just now.

He knew about me going to prison from the start but he didn't stop me. I killed one of his men but he didn't stop me until I killed four. I penetrated through the prison without much stress but he didn't stop me even when I released all the prisoners.

He set me up! Once again! I had been set up by Alpha Kane.

I should have wondered why only Eleven guards were guarding the general prison which was large and wide like a nation itself. It was because he wanted to grant me access. To have more leverage over me which he had succeeded in.

One word to the whole pack about what I had done and they would have me beheaded along with Fiona and all these people kneeling.

I had not only implicated Fiona but many lives here.

Alpha Kane chuckled seeing me trying to process the whole thing. That cunning asshole was very calculative. He always knew the right moment to talk, he knew I was done calculating whatever it was I was calculating.

“Guess you now understand everything, I'm Alpha Kane Garrett, you can't play smart with me,” he said with a smug smile which irked me.

“You will regret this, I assure you” I yelled through gritted teeth.

“How? You won't do as I tell you in Alpha Zane's kingdom??” He asked with a cold face then snapped his finger almost immediately. That only means one thing, he was commanding one of the guards to do something.  

I moved my face to where I saw someone moving. Just then, a guard drew his blade, slashing one of the people kneeling from behind.

“Noooo!!!!” I found myself yelling as I tried to get off the chair, I was in a rage, and fear.  

He had just killed one of the old ladies. The others shuddered in fear wondering who'd come next.

“Everything depends on you now” his voice came, as I turned to look at him with teary eyes.

“Act like a smart girl once again and those people would breathe no more,” he said.

He wasn't mentioning Fiona anymore but he was mentioning those poor people. Using them as leverage against me.

“You..” I wanted to talk but stopped, amidst sobs, I wanted to tell him again, he would surely regret this moment but I dread seeing another innocent soul gone all because of me.

“Remember your mission while in Alpha Zane's kingdom or I send their heads to you every week,” he said and I felt as if life was being squeezed out of me.

“Try anything funny and you will be back to the pack to meet your sister, not alive but breathless and in cold blood” He finalized and that struck my heart increasing the pain for me and Hera as I growled.

He was threatening me, fucking threatening me!!!
