CHAPTER 12I slowly twisted the doorknob, hoping he would take pity on me and ask me to wear one of his dresses, but that never happened. Instead, he yelled at me, "Don't tell me you want me to throw you out myself!" Knowing fully well he's capable of doing what he just said, I ran out of the room, naked. My boobs were dangling. Everything was exposed. I prayed silently that I wouldn't meet anyone, but as if it was all planned out, a group of guards, about six of them, headed toward my direction. My skin crawled as I felt their eyes on me. At that moment, I was forced to believe that the alpha actually planned this so he could shame me, but why? What in God's name is my offense? "She's so fresh; I just wish I could grab those boobs and suckle on them," I covered my boobs with my palms in shame. "I'm just imagining how good my tongue would feel if it found its way in there," he pointed at my V. I quickly moved my hands from my boobs and used them to cover my V. The rest made their sil
CHAPTER 13I quickly freed him when I realized it myself. Apart from being my beta, Wren has been my childhood best friend, and this was the first time I would be touching him, and I felt bad. "I'm sorry, Wren. I didn't mean to," I tried touching him, but he moved back. I withdrew my hands, looking at him as if I was expecting him to say something, but he never said a thing. His dark glare nearly sent me beneath."I let my anger take the best of me. It's a mistake." He only chuckled and mumbled, "It's fine; you are the Alpha after all." With that, he stormed out. He just called me Alpha of his own accord—something I usually have to remind him or even force him to call me. I clenched my fist angrily. It's all because of that witch! If she had gone out when I asked her to, then none of this would have happened. I will surely make her pay for this. I kicked the bed repeatedly, venting my anger on it; though I was the one feeling the pain, not the bed, but that's the least of my problems.
CHAPTER 14My heart raced as I watched him approach. I looked around, searching for something I didn't keep, and luckily I sighted a metal pipe lying just a few distances away. I smirked, and his eyes widened; I knew he might be wondering why I was chuckling even though I knew I was in a deep mess."Stay back! Don't you dare come close!" I yelled but only got a smirk in response."You haven't learned your lesson, have you?" He grabbed my hands, pinning them to the floor with one of his hands in a way that caged me underneath him. Then he used his second hand to caress my breasts. Don't tell me he plans on making out with me on the floor. No! Not when I still feel a lot of pain down there.Fortunately, he had brought us closer to the metal when he was grabbing me, so I could easily access it. As he lowered his mouth to my breasts, I quickly grabbed the metal pipe, hitting him hard on the head with everything I've got. He whimpered in pain as he fell beside me, holding onto his bleeding
Chapter 15 Alisha's POV:It's been hours since the maid left; she promised to pick up the plate but hasn't.I slipped into the nightwear I saw in the wardrobe. It fit me so perfectly that I almost thought it was made for me.I climbed into bed, forcefully closing my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, sleep refused to come, so I jumped out of bed and decided to walk around the castle since I'd barely gone anywhere since I arrived. To be sincere, I wasn't doing it because I wanted to. I was scared the devil would come back looking for me; I knew he would surely pay me back for planking his head.As I walked along the corridor that leads out of the castle, I heard his voice; he was talking to a guard. Without a second thought, I pushed the door beside me, barging in regardless of not knowing what was inside.Immediately I turned, what I saw next forced me to shout in horror. An aged woman was seated dejectedly on the floor, saying some strange words. What caught my eye was the human
Chapter 16Alisha's POV;Next morning:I followed the maid like a lost sheep as she led me along the big corridor leading to the kitchen.The old lady from last night had given me a substance to put in Darien's food. She told me his mind would soften towards me if he consumed the substance, though she didn't specifically tell me to put it in his food. I just concluded that if I put it in his food, it would be more effective. After taking my brush this morning, I heard a faint knock on the door. It turned out to be the maid who brought me food yesterday; she told me she was busy yesterday, which was why she didn't show up. Then I asked her to take me to the kitchen. At first, I thought she'd object to it, but to my greatest surprise, she agreed without delay.I followed her into the kitchen, ignoring the murmurs from the maids."What is the breeder doing here? Isn't she supposed to be in the Alpha's chamber warming his bed? Who brought her here?" I turned to see a maid who looked like
Chapter 17"Where were you last night?" My heart skipped."I... I..." I shuddered, running out of speech. His gaze darkened as he glared at me. His eyes filled with hate and deceit."You should know by now that I don't like repeating myself! Answer me before I lose my cool!" He yelled in an angry tone."I didn't go anywhere. I was inside sleeping. Why do you ask?" A slap followed, sending me to the floor. I tried standing on my feet, but the weight of the slap sent me back to the floor."You dare talk back to me? I see you've grown wings." He grabbed me by my hair, throwing me onto the bed. I hit my head on the bed stand, causing me to bleed. I'd expected him to stop and pay attention to my bleeding head, but he went further to undress. My mind raced as I watched him undress completely. I was losing a lot of blood already. My blood stained the bed sheet, but that didn't seem to be his concern. "Please, my head hurts," I pleaded, hoping he'd pity me, but he only chuckled."That's none
Chapter 18"And where do you think you are going?" I froze, turning back to look at who it was.I was shocked to see Alpha's beta. I had expected him to start yelling at me or something, but he remained calm."I... I..." I tried explaining.He walked towards me, smiling. "It's okay, I won't tell anyone I saw you leave." He patted my shoulder gently.Having him say that kind of gladdened my heart, but how sure am I that he won't play games with me?"Why are you doing this?" I asked slowly, and he chuckled."I'm not doing this because I want to. But I'm doing this to free my conscience from guilt. You know I was the one who suggested the Alpha take you in place of his money; he never consented to it. The truth is I forced him into this, and that's why you are going through all this. It's high time I right the wrong," he explained. So bringing me here was all his plan; no wonder the Alpha treated me like nothing."Thank you. I'm so grateful for this. I will surely repay your favor one da
Chapter 19My mind drifted to Wren. I still don't want to believe he actually betrayed me. No! Wren would never betray me. Never."Quickly go fetch me the beta!" I told the maid, who rushed out immediately.Shortly, Wren walked in wearing a sad expression as usual."Why did you do it, Wren? Why did you betray me?" I could see his expression flicker, but that didn't stop him from chuckling."What do you mean by that?" he asked, pissed by my question."Don't try to play dumb with me, Wren. Why did you let her go?" He glared at me, obviously getting annoyed with my questions, but I wasn't buying any of that. She didn't just escape; someone who knows the castle well enough helped her escape."I don't understand what you mean, Alpha. What have I done this time around?" Is he in the position to ask me that? "Where did you keep her, Wren? Where did you hide the fucking breeder!?" He ruffled his hair tiredly."Are you accusing me of having anything to do with your slave? The last time I chec
Chapter 32Darien's POV My smile vanished immediately I noticed the frown on Wren's face. I had been waiting patiently for him to return since morning, but seeing his face now, I lost hope completely. Just this morning, a young lady came claiming to know where Alisha was staying. At first, we never believed her, but after she described her, we were forced to believe she was referring to Alisha. I badly wanted to go with them, but Wren refused; he insisted she'd never come back if I went there with him. It kind of makes sense, so I agreed."How did it go?" I questioned impatiently.He shook his head, indicating nothing went well. My heart skipped a thousand times."I knew it, Wren; I knew she'd never want to return to this pack again, and it's all thanks to me. I fucking messed up. I ruined everything. I treated her like trash when all she did was love me despite my wickedness. I'm a monster who doesn't deserve love! I deserve to die, Wren. I'm wallowing in guilt. I just wish I could
Chapter 31"Tell me, how does my presence contribute to the kid's betterment? Don't put me in a tight corner, Wren. There's nothing that would make me go back to that pack. Wren, I beg you in the name of God, make another request," I told him."Please, Alisha. You have to do this for my sake. I'm begging," Wren pleaded."Don't put me in a tight corner, Wren. You and I knew what happened to me back there. Now that I finally found peace, you want me to return. Please, Wren, ask for anything else because I can't fulfill your wish. I'm sorry," I turned my back on him."I understand a lot happened to you back then, but I'm begging. I need you to do this for me; if not for anything, please do it for my sake," he pleaded.Why the hell is he bent on sending me to my early grave?"So you prefer sending me back to that hellhole? Just stop all this annoying stuff, Wren. I know I'm sounding ungrateful right now, but I have to. I'm a mother. I have a kid to take care of. My boy is still very young
Chapter 30Next day Greyhound pack.Writer's POV Wren walked into the throne room, turning a deaf ear to the guard's warning that the alpha did not want to see him."He said he's not seeing anyone today; can't you get it?" The guard continued convincing him as he walked deeper into the chamber.Seeing how dark the throne room was, the guard, knowing how creepy the alpha acts, decided to count his teeth with his tongue. He simply turned back and left."Darien?" Wren called, looking around though he couldn't see a thing."I know you are there. Don't just pretend like you can't see me. Even though you can't, I believe you can hear my voice," Wren said but still didn't get any response."I know you are here, Darien. I know what my kid did the other day is wrong, and I've come to apologize." Still no response."You think an apology will mend the pain and shame that kid caused me? You of all people should know my situation. You know everything that happened years ago wasn't my intention.
Chapter 29Writer's POV;"She thinks she'd dump me after everything I've done for her? Impossible! It's either I have her or not even my brother will. I’m fed up with losing to him every single time. I might have lost the throne to him, but not Alisha. She's mine and mine alone!" Henry clenched his fist in anger."What happened, son? You sounded really angry on the phone. What happened?" His mom stood up from her chair to go meet him."Mom, she fucking told me she'd never have anything to do with me. After everything I've done for her, she wants to dump me. Tell me, Mom, is it fair?" Henry muttered sadly."I told you, son. I told you she'd never choose you, but you were so engrossed in your supposed love for her. Tell me, what did you get in return? Heartbreak! Now you see what I've been telling you for the past years. I told you she'd dump you one day and go back to your stepbrother, but you called me an overthinker. If not for the fact that you are my son, I'd have told you it's wha
Chapter 28"What did you just say?" Henry's eyes flared up in anger."I just told you the truth, Sir Henry! I heard everything you told my mom that day. You don't love me, so stop pretending!" Daniel blurted out."Wow! Such a brilliant kid. I'm happy you know it. Now that you know it, avoid me! I'm not your father and will never be. Even if I succeed in marrying your mom, I'm going to make sure I throw you away. Like, dump you in the trash can!" Henry jibbered, giggling."I know all your plans. I will tell my mommy about it, just wait and watch!" Daniel blurted."We'll see about that, kiddo!" Henry smirked."What's going on here?" Alisha showed up from behind."Mommy, he was telling me that he..." Henry cut him off. "We were only having a man-to-man discussion. It's nothing important. Daniel, isn't it?" Henry faked a smile.Daniel nodded while glaring hatefully at him."Be a good boy, Daniel. Don't tell mummy what we discussed; Mummy does not need to know everything that happens, okay
Chapter 27My eyes widened at the silly question. How in God's name do I defend myself at this point?"And who told you he's not my son? Wait, you again?" Henry appeared behind me. Seeing him gave me relief."You? Hmm. I didn't mean to embarrass her. I was only playing with her," Sonia panicked."I've warned you several times, Sonia. Don't push me to tell them your own story. You know you'll spend the rest of your life in jail. Don't make me do something I'll regret afterward," Henry threatened, getting me confused. What's this secret he knows about her that would ruin her if he dared say a word?"I'm sorry, Henry. I didn't mean to bully her." I glared daggers at her. "Don't use the word bully. You are in no position to bully me!" I snapped angrily."Now apologize!" Henry ordered. She quickly went to her knees, shocking everyone."I'm so sorry, Alisha. I didn't mean to act that way towards you." She faked a sad face, which I knew she didn't mean anything she was saying now. She's only
Chapter 26"Do I look like my husband's keeper? Didn't you book an appointment with him before coming? If you know him so well you should have known that he's barely home by this time of the day!" Her voice sounded angry."Calm down ma'am. I only asked a question" I shunned her.There's no way anyone would lie that she doesn't know am the alpha. She's only choosing to be disrespectful to me. But I wasn't gonna take it from her. For the fact that she's replacing my mom, I hated her already."Being the alpha doesn't give you the right to just knock on my door and tell me nonsense. Leave if I am!" She snapped, making me wonder if she was truly okay."Tell him I came looking for him" She hissed. I've never been this tolerant before. But since the breeder left I've noticed I'm no longer as mean as I used to be."If he's of great importance to you then come back and check on him. Don't stress me" she bangs the door in my face. Why's today being mean? Or is this the way the moon goddess has
Chapter 25 All attention turned to the boy's mother. She bent her face in embarrassment. Who would have thought that her four-year-old kid was eavesdropping on her late conversation with her husband?"Selena! What have you done?" Elena yelled in anger.Selena, the boy's mother, went to her knees immediately."I'm so sorry, my lord. I never mentioned those words to him. I swear I didn't know where he heard it from," Selena pleaded.Darien's head remained bent. Not because he didn't know what to do, but because he felt guilty. The child was right to call him a wicked man."It's fine. I don't blame you. I know each and every one of you has your own opinion about this. I know you are all eager to voice it out but dare not. Hearing him say this reminds me of my past mistakes. It's okay, boy. I like your courage. You can still have the gift," he forced the small box into the boy's hand and then turned to face Wren."You should have told me this was your plan? Bringing me here for your kid
Chapter 24 Three hours laterI was done with the maid, and she was now sitting at the edge of the bed, panting like a lizard. She didn't faint like the rest, but it was obvious she was exhausted. The next time, she'll surely think twice before thinking of seducing me."Why are you still here? Get up and get out!" I snapped. Seeing her pants only increased my anger and frustration; I wasn't satisfied.I wouldn't have stopped, but she was screaming so hard that she nearly echoed throughout the entire building.I know she's pained she'll get nothing after enduring all the torture she went through. She must have been very stupid to have thought I would give her the chance to carry my unborn child. Joker.She attempted to get up but ended up falling back onto the bed."I'm sorry, my lord, but I can't move my legs; I can't even close them," she shamelessly muttered. She's wrong to have thought I cared or that I would pity her."And how's that my business? You brought yourself in here, reme
