{ Alpha Cronus}

“ What do you want, Zoe?” I asked without bothering you look up.” Alpha Cronus, please have merci and let her out of the dengeon. Forgive her ignorance, she is just a pup. “

“ She is fragile.” She said and I lifted my head to look at her.

She seemed concerned about her and I wasn't surprised with her soft heart. Zoe was just like her mother, fucking caring.

“ How did you know that, Zoe?” she was fragile yet she was too stubborn and dare to disobey me.

She fucking spoke back at me and didn't hesitate to tell me what was in her mind. She even questioned my authority like the disrespectful brat!

What the fuck did she expect when she went against me?

“ Alpha Cronus, please, let her out or she will die.” Zoe went on her knees with her head lowered, a growl slipped out of my throat, not sure why but my animal pulled forward in an instant.

“ I'm sorry alpha if I have said something wrong, she really isn't in a good condition.” She added, my hand squeezed the sheet and my heartbeat suddenly quickened. My eyes turned colder as I forcefully shoved my wolf away. What the fuck would happen if she dies?

Suddenly, the familiar mark on her shoulder played in my memory and I stood up from my seat, my animal making his apoearifir the second time.” Leave, Zoe.” I demanded and she hesitantly walked out. How did her life concerned me?

What if she has the same mark as that of Olivia?

She should blame her coward father for what happens to her.

My hand fisted, my sudden frustration couldn't be linked to her, she was just a fucking price I reclaimed. Her father was to be blame for whatever that happens to her.

But why did Zoe think she would die? I marched out of my office and went straight to the underground dangeon where she was supposed to be.

The smell of blood was the first thing I noticed as I reached down the dungeon. My wolfish green eyes pierced through the darkness and I immediately detected her.

I felt a bit uneasy and rushed towards her when I saw her fragile body on the cold floor.

She was unconscious.

I felt a rush emotions in my chest when I saw her pale face.

‘ Get Drew here.’ I mindlinked Theo as I rushed her into the room.

Her lifeless face brought a strange feeling into my chest as I paid her gently ok the bed. Her feet was covered in blood and for the first time in my life I loathed the smell and sight of blood. What the fuck was wrong with me?

“ He is here.” Theo rushed in with Drew but raised a brow when he saw her laying on the bed.” Are you okay?” Theo asked, why would I be okay? I gave him a cold silent as I started walked out without looking back.

I looked around my office the before walking straight to the window. Her innocent face was deeply imprinted in my memory that I kept seeing her face even when I didn't want to recall how she looked like.

I picked a stick of cigar her from my pocket.” She lost too much blood.” Theo's voice came from behind, the stick of cigar hanged in-between my lips as I froze for a while.

“ But she will be okay after a few days rest.” He added and I proceeded to light my cigar. “ Anything else?” I asked, putting the lighter back in my pocket. “ You should go easy on her.” The familiar voice made me turned away from the window with a slight frown.

“ Why should I? “ My eyes stared coldly at Drew who wasn't any older than Theo. Both of them succeeded their fathers who once served me, the only reason they were serving me was because their great grant father's earned my trust throughout their years with me.

While Theo came from a beta family, Drew was the great grand son of the pack's best doctor, Decon.

“ Because she is innocent.” He said and anger suddenly rose in my chest. With a calm ecpresdion, I let out the smoke in my mouth and lazily stared away for a few seconds.” How did you know she is innocent?” Her fucking father tried to betray me after I risk my pack to save his. I helped him throw those rogues off his neck but he dared to sell me off forgetting who I was.

“ I know you are pissed because of alpha Moses but alpha Moses is gone, isn't that enough?” Drew asked but killing Moses wasn't enough to pay for what he has done.

“ No, it's not enough.” I said coldly.

“ She is not her father and you can't take it out on her.” I chuckled as thought of the possible reason reasons why Drew would stand up for a traitors daugter. The thought of him liking her as a woman inked me and much as I didn't want to believe it I could t come up with any other reason.

“ With my bloodshed eyes, I focused my gaze on Drew whose gaze were buried on the floor. I dropped the cigar in my hand as my animal growled iny head.

Who the fuck was he to stand up for her? “ Doctor Drew, you are not allowed to get close to her from now on.” I laid out my orders and Theo gulped but didn't dare to raise his head. “ If I see you an inch close to her, I will make sure you regret it.” My claws pushed out as I took two steps closer to him.

“ You can leave my office.”

“ Cronus, “

“ You too.” I cut him off.

My fingers fiested as the door shut. What the fuck was my problem, didn't I hate her before so why was I angry about Drew caring about her?

I pulled another stick of cigar from my pocket and calmly lighted it.
