Chapter 6

CHAPTER SIX

“Oh, did I forget to mention that?” Thane responded cheekily to an astonished Kory.

Kory's jaw dropped absent-mindedly in disbelief. He forgot to tell her. Kory couldn’t helped but think Thane is one of the Alphas that has no emotions or whatever, but then he was nice and sweet to her when they met.

What sort of lame excuse is that? Kory bite her inner cheeks slowly. She's beginning to blame herself for not getting to know him thoroughly before concluding to stay at his place.

Yes, his mansion is the most glamorous thing she's ever seen In her entire life, yet, she can't help but get more and more suspicious of him.

Her wolf isn't in agreement with her, though. Her wolf keeps insisting how lucky they are for the moon goddess to fate them with such a kind-hearted mate.

Kory waved that thought aside. Her eyes wandered off to Lorraine, who's still glaring at her. She doesn't feel comfortable about this anymore. Who is Lorraine to Thane, anyway?

Kory is also uncertain about Lorraine's relationship with Thane. She just addressed him as Alpha, are they siblings or is she is a subordinate?

Which ever it might be, it doesn't change the fact that she isn't happy with Lorraine's presence.

'Why can't Lorraine leave?' Kory blurted in her head.

Thane glanced at her from behind his shoulder. He just read her thought and found it amusing her cautious she is of Lorraine.

Actually, Thane had been the one who placed Lorraine in Kory's life. The reason why it would get clearer in some minutes.

“You're wondering who she is to me, right?” Thane shattered Kory's wall of thoughts.

“Please do tell me. Her presence is really unsettling!” Kory huffed loudly, unable to hide the irritation in her face.

Lorraine clutched her fist after that statement. 'That little slut!” Lorraine fumed inwardly.

“Ouch! Lorraine is my Delta, Kory. I assume you already know what that means.” Thane replied, a bit of sarcasm accompanying his tone.

“Of course I do. But, isn't she ought to live separately from you?” Kory pressed on, determined to get rid of Lorraine quickly.

Without the aid of a soothsayer, one could predict a war between these two she-wovles.

“Don't be silly Kory. Lorraine doesn't need to leave, I need her.” Thane responded to her with a chuckle.

Kory crossed her arms over her chest angrily, while Lorraine snickered, glad that Thane knows her worth.

“Enough of this! A guard would show you to your room. Once that's done, you'll freshen up and come down for lunch.” Thane said, moving towards the second staircase that lead to an unknown place.

He didn't give Kory the chance to even reply. A guard had already slipped behind Kory. He got hold of her luggage. She had to trail after him as she walked.

Kory saw Lorraine walking hastily on the staircase. She scoffed at the closeness between Lorraine and Thane. She's very pissed off and a bit envious. Her wolf reminded her that Thane is hers. There's no need for her to get so insecure. The guard stopped at a beautifully designed door.

He didn't utter a word, he dropped her luggage and started leaving. “Thank you!” Kory yelled behind him.

He halted, glanced at her over his shoulder and stared at her pitifully. Kory clearly saw the look of pity in his eyes, she wondered what that was for.

He left afterwards. Kory pushed the door of her room opened. She instantly gushed at the interior design of the room. It was simply gorgeous and beautiful. She's never seen something as pretty as this.

She was born into a family of Royals. Her brother is the Alpha’s beta, her father the Pack’s warrior leader. Despite how inhumane her parents treated her, she still was given the best things in life. Her room back home was expensively designed, but nothing compared to this.

Kory moved further into the room. She jumped happily on the queen-sized bed. It was very bouncy and awfully soft. Kory laid on her bed for a short period of time. She hopped down from it and went over to her closet.

She has to start arranging her clothes in. Furthermore, she flung one of the numerous clothes open and surprisingly…

“It's all full. And, all the kinds of clothes I wear are here? Huh!” She stared confusingly at the closet filled with her cloth.

*****

Thane rolled up his shirt as he removed it. He tossed it aside and walked over to the frame on the wall. He brought down his long sword from it. Lorraine gave the door a light knock.

“Come in,” Thane authorized inaudibly.

It's shocking how Lorraine heard his reply, even though he merely whispered it. Lorraine bowed lightly after she took slow strides to him.

“The mission was a success as always, Alpha. He's in our custody and as instructed, he's been whipped mercilessly by the … guards.” She gave out a report which he didn't even ask for.

Thane remained mute. He went over to one of the numerous training dummies. This is his personally training room.

The only one permitted to come In here is him and Lorraine. Sporadically, they practice together.

But that's on rare occasions. Thane slashed his sword repeatedly and swiftly on the dummies.

Lorraine got lost, drooling over his Irresistible biceps and triceps. It's not the first time she's seeing it, but… His body frame has a way of turning her on. She got enchanted by his appealing frame the very first day she saw him.

She was brought from the slave market. Thane wasn't the one who brought her, no! It was one of his uncles. She got placed as his Delta.

He has always been cold to her, but he's warming up a bit. Well, she thinks. He no longer yells at her or slaps her stupidly hard across the face.

It's safe to say, she's getting closer to his heart. Lorraine was still ogling at him when he spoke to her through the mind-link.

'Go serve Kory lunch in her room. I don't give two fuck about your opinion; she's not your equal, remember that.” He ordered scornfully.

Lorraine nearly dropped on her knees due to his statement. How can he say she doesn't matter more than that pest.

He can't be serious Can he?

Lorraine remained rooted to the floor, contemplating whether to leave.

Thane took a pause in his training. Without looking at Lorraine, he threw the sword insanely fast at her.

Lorraine moved out of the way narrowly. Still, the sword left a large cut at the side of her cheeks. Her blood streamed freely down her cheeks, down to her lips, her chin and eventually, it fell on the floor.

“Y-y-yes Alpha.” She responded in stutters and turned away from him.

Lorraine ran out of the room with tears at the corner of her eyes. Thane went over to his sword. He picked it up from where it landed and gritted his teeth at her escape and the thin line of blood visible on the sword’s edge.

“Bitch!”

Meanwhile, Lorraine was storming angrily to the kitchen. The maids there noticed her irritable mood, they are dispersed into different directions.

Lorraine went over to a maid who was unfortunately cooking the meal. She simply glared at the maid.

The poor thing understood quickly. She dished out a portion of spaghetti and meatballs.

“Put it on a tray and follow me.” Lorraine instructed her in a cold pained voice.

****

Kory was having a nice dip in the bathtub when Thane called her through a mind-link.

“What are you doing presently?” He asked.

Kory smiled shyly, thinking about the day he'll get to see her nude. Thane, similarly, was taking a bath under the shower.

As night drew closer, Thane could feel his arousal getting more and more unstable. He desperately wants her under him right now. He smirked at his own lewd imaginations.

“I'll definitely break her.” Thane whispered, running his fingers sensually through his curly white brown hair.

Thane was blessed with a pair of ocean deep blue eyes, a jawline sharper than others, making him stand out more.

Thane is dashing and he knows it. Due to his low understanding of love and his outstanding looking, Thane has successfully gotten every woman he desires. Every expect for Kory. But that'll all change tonight.

“Having a soak In the tub. You?” Kory replied.

“Same. I'll take a nap, okay. I'll see you during dinner time.”

“Dinner time? But, it's just 2pm! You're going to sleep for that long.” Kory stated bewildered at his his reply.

“I guess so. I can't stay in the shower forever. Just keep talking though, your voice is soothing and lovely to the ears.”

Kory blushed at that statement. She prolonged her time in the bath in cause of that. She spoke about random things to Thane, who always gave a brief response.

It was fun to speak with him, since he's a good listener. Kory's conversation got shorten as a knock met with her door.

Reluctantly, she got out of the bathtub. Kory slid into a fluffy white bathrobe.

Going over to the door, she opened it and met Lorraine. Lorraine wasn't alone, she came along with a trembling maid.

Lorraine and Kory glared at each for a long time. Each displeased at the sight of each other.

“Good afternoon miss. Your lunch is here, where should I place it?” The maid said from behind Lorraine.

“At the center table. Thanks, by the way.” Kory replied without moving her eyes away from Lorraine.

The maid did as instructed and went out hurriedly. The two she-wovles continued glaring for a long period of time.

“Enjoy this all while it lasts. You'll get what's coming to you.” Lorraine snarled at Kory.

“Leave already!” Kory shut her door abruptly Lorraine’s face.

Lorraine frowned, but the frown turned into a wide grin. She turned and left for her room.

Kory couldn't stop thinking about Lorraine's remark. Everything seems so entwined to her.

The clothes and the precision of her taste in clothes are too creepy to accurate. She's getting a weird feeling from all these. Yet, she waved it aside with the saying, ‘he's my mate'.

**NIGHT**

"I've signed it. I swear I have! Please let me go, I've done all you asked me too; confess to my hideous crimes and lots more, every single thing. Just let me go. Please Lord Thane!” He cried at the mercy of Thane who seemed unbothered by his pleadings.

Lorraine got up with the document he just signed. Thane didn't lift the gun off his forehead. He only smirked wickedly.

“I'm not feeling merciful at all,” Thane let out in a dark voice. A smirk appeared on his face as he pulled the trigger, sending the bullet straight into his head. He fell to the ground his life flowing out instantly.

“The fuck!” A loud shriek was heard. Thane immediately recognized the voice to be someone he knows. It was Kory. Lorraine too was surprised, terribly surprised.

What is Kory doing there? Thane looked at Kory, who was shaking badly at the gory scene in front of her.

She's on the bare floor with her jaw apart in horror. She just saw Thane kill someone.

Like, he just killed! Kory stood up shakily, she dashed off immediately with no words. Lorraine glanced at Thane, expecting him to say something.

“I was expecting her to find out but not this way or this quickly.” He said softly.

He rubbed the edge of the gun on his temples gently. He wasn't planning on doing this so early, but what choice does he have now.

“Clear this place up.” Thane ordered, before turning and making his way out of the dungeon.

He walked steadily to Kory's room. He didn't bother to knock the door, he only gave it a light push. Not only that, but he came in to find her stuffing her clothes into her luggage.

“You're off to where exactly?” He said proudly, announcing his presence through that.

Kory took a pause in her frantic packing. She scurried backwards in fright and fear glaring at the man in front of her.

“Where do you intend to go too? The house I got burnt down, or you've already gotten a new house with the money I froze? Seriously don't be stupid!” Thane spat in a cold voice.

Kory's lips quivered crazily. Her face drenched in emotions. What is he…?? Kory couldn’t comprehend a better thought.

What is he talking about. Was he responsible for everything that has happened to her

“Do not worry your little head, mate.” He took light threatening steps closer to her. “Get on the bed, Kory.” He ordered in a silent sensual dark voice.
