Chapter 6
My gaze flickered to his face, and my heart sank when I found no remorse. How will I explain this to him? Doesn't he investigate before making his decisions? '' Guards!'' I heard him call, and blood drained out of my face. What is he going to do to me now? Hang me on a tree, and have my head cut off? Probably, I couldn't agree less. I shivered at the thought of this and decided to speak up. There's no way I'll die for something I had no idea of. As I opened my mouth to speak, the door opened and two men walked in. '' Lock her up in the dungeon, and await my orders!'' he blurted out with a stern face, and the guards quickly grabbed my hands and led me out of the room. I didn't struggle. I couldn't even plead after seeing his hardened face. Whoever framed me must be my worst enemy. I was thrown into the dungeon. I blinked my eyes rapidly, to conceal the tears that were threatening to slip out. I gulped down and leaned on the wall, staring up at the ceiling. Memories flashed into my mind, and I wailed bitterly, unable to endure the pain I was going through. I didn't know when or how I had fallen asleep, but the sound of the gate creaking open, woke me up. My heart raced as the gravity of the moment hit me. I was about to be crucified. Two men walked in and dragged me roughly like I was some piece of trash. I gnashed my teeth as I glared at them. But they seemed not to notice my reaction at all. My brows furrowed as we got to his chamber. I was expecting to be taken outside the palace, and face numerous crowds, who'll be happy to see me die. '' Why am I brought here?'' I turned to the guards, but they ignored me and opened the door instead. They stepped aside for me to enter, but I remained where I was, my eyes fixed on the room. '' The Alpha is waiting. You can go in.'' one of the guards said, but I didn't bulge. '' I'm sure you don't want to face his wrath.'' Another added, and I turned to him with a stern face. '' You think I'm scared of...'' my voice trailed off instantly, as he appeared at the door. I just wanted to bluff a little, but who was I kidding with? '' Get in! Now!'' His face reddened, and I gulped down and rushed inside. Darien closed the door with a bang, and my heart skipped a beat as he turned to me. Thousand thoughts ran into my mind instantly as I watched him stride to the table. To divert his mind from what he was planning to do to me, I decided to do the last thing on my mind. I slide my hand into my dress and unzip it, allowing it to fall beneath my feet. However, I bit my lip in regret. He would still punish me after all, if he wants. With my eyes closed, I squatted to pick the dress and put it on. But suddenly, I felt a presence before me. My heart skipped a beat, and I needed no one to tell me who it was. '' Are you trying to seduce me? "You're nothing but a deceitful little whore." I flinched at his hurtful words, feeling a sting in my eyes. How could he speak to me like that? '' By doing this, you think you can capture me?'' I felt his hand brushing my skin, and a jolt of electricity surged through me. He pulled me closer, his eyes glinting with a sinister light. I tried to struggle, but he was too strong. "You're going to regret ever crossing me," Darien hissed, his breath hot against my skin. With a sudden jerk, he slammed me against the wall. I cried out in pain as his hands pinned me in place. My eyes drifted down, and I saw a bulge in his trousers. Unexpectedly, I grabbed it with my hands and Darien's face twitched instantly. '' I warned you not to touch me. Are you deaf too?'' he spat, staring at me in so much anger. '' Since you badly want to do this, let me do it in my way.'' He grabbed me and pushed me towards the bed. My eyes widened as I thought of hitting myself on the fall, but fortunately, I landed on the bed. Just when I muttered a thank you, Darien appeared, reminding me of my situation. He grabbed my wrist and chained me to the bed, then took off my dress completely and threw it across the room. He parted my legs and chained them as well, then turned to me with a sinister smile. A low groan escaped his lips as his eyes were on me. Following his gaze, I realized he was staring at my pussy as my legs were wide apart. I tried to close them, but it was difficult. Darien looked at me, triumphantly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick, black stick. I recognized it instantly - it was an electric shock stick. "No, please," I begged, trying to pull away. But Darien just smiled, his eyes glinting with cruelty. "You should have thought of that before you crossed me," he whispered. He placed the stick against my skin, and I felt a jolt of electricity course through my body. I screamed, my muscles contracting in agony. Darien's grip on my wrist tightened, holding me in place as he continued to shock me. I felt my body shaking, my teeth chattering, and my mind reeling in pain. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, he stopped. He pulled the stick away, and I collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. I felt his face closer to mine, and I raised my head and looked up at him with teary eyes. '' Tell me, you pathetic little wretch.'' he sneered, his breath hot against my face. '' Who sent you?'' His eyes burned into mine, but I quickly averted my gaze. '' Answer me!'' he grabbed me by the hair roughly, causing me to scream out in pain. '' Darien, please let go!'' But my words only fueled his anger. '' Answer me!'' he roared. ''I--I don't know what you're talking about.'' I stuttered, shutting my eyes in agony. Darien stood over me, his chest heaving with exertion. ''Since you're proving stubborn, let's see how this goes.'' he raised the stick once again and placed it right at my pussy. My eyes widened as fear gripped me. What is he planning to do?Chapter 7'' Please don't do this.'' I pleaded, but it went on deaf ears. He gnashed his teeth, and I shut my eyes as I waited for the pain to surge through me when he pushed the tool in, but I was shocked when none of that happened.Rather, he groaned, and I felt something placed on me; opening my eyes, I realized he had just covered me up with a blanket.Looking ahead, I saw him striding towards the door, then he pushed it open, and walked back into the room, followed by Beta Wren. He might have knocked, but I didn't hear it due to how frightened I was.'' What brings you, here?'' He asked and sat down on the chair, then picked up a bottle of drink and poured it into the glass.Beta Wren glanced at me, and Darien followed his gaze, and our eyes locked for a moment.'' If you don't mind, my Lord. I'd like us to speak in private.'' Wren replied with a slight bow, and I watched the Alpha lick his bottom lick. He sighed loudly and said in a low tone, '' Lead the way.'' '' Yes my lord.
CHAPTER 8I pushed the door open and stormed out of the room, my anger boiling over. I couldn't believe it. She left without my permission. My heart tightened, and I clenched my fists as I walked down the hall.'' Wren! Wren!'' I roared as I glanced around, searching for her, but she was not in sight. The guards bowed their heads as I passed, but I paid no attention to them."Wren!" I called one last time, and he appeared almost immediately, breathing heavily. "My Lord," he said, bowing his head."Have you seen Alisha?" I asked, locking my gaze on his face. "No, my lord," he replied. "The last time I saw her, she was in your chambers," he added, and I bit my lip, running my fingers through my hair in frustration."Are you telling me she escaped without you noticing?" I questioned, and he took a step back, his voice shaky."Y-yes, my Lord. But we will find her! Please don’t punish us," he pleaded. I turned away with a loud sigh, placing my hands on my hips.I could picture her laughing
CHAPTER 9What if this is her plan to make me pity her, and turn against my pack? What if she's trying to manipulate me? I nodded my head at the possibility, and my heart tightened as I fixed my gaze on the door.No one would dare to poison anyone in the palace, under my watch. Why did it start to happen now? Isn't it obvious?And to sum it all up, she's found in my library. What took her there? My mind wandered back to the day I first met her. She was mysterious, beautiful, and seemed to be hiding secrets. I remembered the way she looked at me, the way she smiled... and I wondered if I had misjudged her all along.I gulped down, pushed the door open, and walked in. '' Not under my watch,'' I muttered, shutting the door behind me with a bang. My eyes drifted to Madam Nelly, who quickly sprang up from the chair as soon as she saw me.'' My Alpha, you're here. Welcome to my abode.'' She greeted me and bowed her head, but I ignored her and began to stride towards Alisha.I found her lyin
CHAPTER 10I opened my eyes slightly, and my breath caught in my throat as my eyes met with that of Darien, whose nose was inches from mine. I felt butterflies in my belly as I realized he was about to kiss me.Really? I couldn't believe my eyes. '' Does it mean he's forgotten about what happened?:' I asked myself, and for a moment, we stared at each other. His hot breath fanning my face.Suddenly, he pulled off, and my eyelids fluttered open. I saw him twitch his jaws. With fisted hands, he got up from the bed and turned his back to me, placing his hands on his waist.'' How long were you planning to pretend?'' He asked, causing me to blink my eyes rapidly. What does he mean? I couldn't get a grasp of his words. The last thing I remembered was being in the library and the drink....!My eyes widened, and memories began to flash into my mind. '' Was the drink poisoned?'' I asked myself. Slowly, I sat upright and was about to speak when he turned to me with a blazing gaze, causing me
CHAPTER 11I watched as Wren stormed out of the room. If only the Alpha would just calm down and allow me to explain myself. The thought of what his reaction would be when he came back clouded my mind. With my mind finally made up to accept whatever cruelty he lashes out at me, I jumped onto the bed tiredly. I needed to sleep; I had to prepare for what was to come tonight."Who permitted you to sleep on my bed, you lowlife?" His angry voice forced me to open my eyes. I quickly stood up from the bed, balancing on my feet. With my head bent to the floor, I muttered, "I'm sorry, my lord." I heard him chuckle. "If you don't mind, I will take my leave now." With my head still bent to the floor, I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my hands, furiously flinging me back to the bed as if I meant nothing. Why in God's name is this guy treating me this way? "And where do you think you are heading? Did I permit you to leave?" His gaze darkened as he glared at me. "I, I..." I stuttered, not
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 152Mrs. Mandes fainted before he could complete his statement.Drake caught her before she could fall to the ground.Their dad didn't say a thing; he just clenched his fist, his breathing coming out rough, while Michael, on the other hand, had already taken his seat, his hands covering his face.If only their mom hadn't advised her to go back the day she came; if only he had protected her more. He wished he had stopped her from leaving; she would have been mad at him but not dead.**After a while, Drake had already taken their mom upstairs. He knew this would happen, so he came with his tools. He did everything and gave her an injection so she could rest."How did this happen? Is it why Darien has refused to pick up our calls? I guess he should be happy now; he has succeeded in killing her so he could marry his so-called friend.""It was a truck. The driver has been caught, and Alisha? She wasn't found; she fell down the bridge and the car exploded!" Michael cracked his knuc
Chapter 151Sandra walked from one edge of the room to another, panting. She had been calling the guy's line, but unfortunately, he wasn't picking up, and the thought bothered her so much.The guy not picking up could only mean one thing: either he had been caught or he was dead.A faint knock came on her door, and her poor heart couldn't help but skip. Her subconscious mind kept telling her that something was wrong."Who's there?" she asked slowly."It's me, ma'am," the maid replied.Already knowing the sort of person she appeared to be, Darien didn't bother sending a guard since she might suspect something was wrong; she might just decide to end her own life instead of being caught or blamed."How may I help you?" she asked as she opened the door.The maid smiled fondly and then replied, "The alpha is back; he sent for you.""Did anything happen? Do you know why the alpha called me?" she tried to get words out of the maid."No, ma'am, all is well. I think he got you a gift or someth
Chapter 150"Who sent me is none of your business! Luna died because she deserves to die!" Wren matched his wounded legs before he could complete his statement."Don't even think of playing strong or smart because when I'm done with you, you will say everything you've done so far, even the ones that are not related to us. And mind you, you won't be the only one to suffer this; I will make sure I kill every living being in your family, from the smallest to the greatest!" "Don't you dare! They didn't do anything to you. Face me! I was the one who killed Luna!" she snapped."Oh, they didn't do anything? I guess you feel they don't deserve to die, right? They don't deserve to die, but you killed Luna. You should get ready to watch each and every one of them die. As for your wound, you don't have to worry about it; you will be treated so you can stay alive and watch your loved ones cry in agony. You will surely love the feeling, trust me!""You wouldn't dare! You won't be so heartless as
Chapter 149Alisha, after doing the few things she was supposed to do, stood up and decided to go visit her parents so she could also give Daniel his clothes.As she entered the car, Sandra could be seen standing at the top, watching her."Let's see how you survive this!"As Alisha drove off, she picked up her phone once again and dialed the same number she had called earlier."Has she left?" the voice asked her."Yes, she has; she just left. Remember, no mistakes—hit her and run. Don't wait to get questioned," Sandra instructed the guy, who nodded and then cut the call."This is the end of you, Alisha; you can't escape this time around," she smirked.She turned only to see a maid standing right beside her; the maid had heard everything that she said."What are you doing here? Did you hear anything?" she asked the maid, who quickly shook her head."I didn't; I was only passing by and heard someone's voice, so I came to check who it was. I will take my leave now; excuse me," the maid b
Chapter 148Writer's POV:Darien walked into the hospital holding a tray of food just like he's been doing since the old man regained consciousness.The nurses couldn't hold back their silly talks; they made their silly remarks as usual, telling him how handsome he was and how Luna was so fortunate to have him. He just listened to them without saying a word. Deep down, he knew he was the fortunate one, not the other way around; he was the one fortunate to have her in his life, but the world just wouldn't see that.The marriage was on the verge of wrecking, and all they could do was talk and talk to satisfy their curiosity."I heard from my sister that there's this mean lady who came to the palace. Things have never been the same since she came. I even heard she's been getting on Luna's nerves, and each time all the Alpha could do was to support her. I just pity Luna so much," one of the nurses in the reception said."How? Who said you should pity her? She's clearly enjoying being the

Chapter 146Sandra hummed a song happily as she entered the room, the scene where Darien slapped Daniel replaying in her head."This is only the beginning, Alisha. After three months, I'm gonna make him mine. I will get pregnant for him, and I will be the one to carry his heir. I will make sure I throw you and your son away. I will throw you to the trenches where you belong," she blurted as she undressed.She wrapped a towel around her waist and then walked into the bathroom, humming the same song continuously. She untied her towel and hung it on the door before she entered the jacuzzi filled with hot water. At first, a slight pain hit her directly on her skin, but she ignored it and began scrubbing her body; the more she scrubbed, the more the pain worsened.At one point, she couldn't take the pain anymore. She stood up from the jacuzzi, only to see that her whole body was already so red and swollen. She yelled out so loudly that all the maids had to run into the room.She picked up
Chapter 145Without giving him any chance to explain, she took Daniel's hands and stormed out.Sandra went closer to him and hugged him."Thank you for standing up for me. I'm not troublesome; I only want to be friends with her, but she keeps chasing me away and making me look like I'm the bad guy. You have to believe me, I didn't do any of the things she accused me of. I was only trying to help her, but she thinks I'm here to take you away from her," she pouted, wrapping her hands around his."It's okay, I know you wouldn't look for trouble. Please just continue bearing with her; she's not usually like this. I don't know why she's behaving like this," he patted her back."It's okay, I don't blame her. I will continue enduring everything for your sake."The maids looked at them in shock, wondering what the hell was wrong with the alpha. They definitely knew he wasn't okay; this was not the alpha they knew; possibly he had been bewitched.After some time, they walked back in, leaving t
Chapter 144Next morningAlisha carried Daniel down the stairs, holding his backpack with her other hand.She had earlier told the maid to prepare his lunchbox so she could just come down, pick up his food, and drop him off.She walked down the stairs and headed straight to the dining room.The maids started gossiping among themselves as soon as they saw her coming.She looked at the table, hoping to see what she had asked for, but the table was empty."Where's the food I asked you to prepare for my boy?" she asked the chief maid."I did, ma'am. I did prepare the food, but ma'am Sandra just came down and took the food. I told her I could get her her own bit; she just wouldn't listen to me. It wasn't my fault," the maid told her."How dare she? Was she deaf when you told her the food was for Daniel?" Alisha yelled angrily."I'm sorry, my lady, but I told her, and I'm certain she heard me well enough; she just took it intentionally. I even told her I didn't add pepper to the food, that
