Chapter 5- You're innocent?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Adrik paced the breadth and length of his study impatiently, huffing as he did so. “Where is she? Where are they? Why aren’t they here yet?”
Adrik’s right hand man Chad, sat on a 1990 classic grey chair and motioned for him to do the same. “Calm down Adrik. I’m sure they’ll be here any minute from now. She’s too weak for them not to be able to handle”
“This wouldn’t be the first time that they’re disappointing me. Sometimes I wonder if I should have just gotten myself more suitable persons to handle the work for me”
He sat on the edge of the chair, the ring on his forefinger impatiently hitting against the table in front of him. His eyes flew to the clock on the wall and trailed out back to the window. One could easily see that his patience had run thin. What if those idiots failed to deliver the job as promised?
Getting that woman would mean killing two birds with a stone. His grand plan will finally work as he will have the special child immediately after he is born. The bonus point? He gets to see Lucian suffer with the absence of the woman he cares about.
Yes, Lucian can have every other person fooled, but not him. This woman… What was her name again? Is it Amaranthine? He knew that Lucian would seek out to look for her, especially when he suspects that she might be carrying his heir. Oh, precious love.
The thought of that made him cackle suddenly, drawing a disturbed glance from Chad. What- Do they all think he needs help? There’s no denying it. He does! Until he rids Lucian of his title and every other thing he holds dear, he will not have peace. But Amara is just the beginning of his headlock with his greatest rival.
“Alpha Adrik, they are here” Chad’s voice permeated through his raging thoughts. He stood, his eyes wild and crazed.
“Well, what are they waiting for? Where is the girl?”
“They’re in the dungeon”
“Dungeon huh? Perfect choice of space”
He walked out of his room, his strides long and impatient; his whole body vibrating with the fact that this mission has been utterly successful and he now has the one thing that will make Lucian suffer and perhaps give into his demands.
He pushed the door open and came face to face with Amara, all wide eyed, scared and shaking.
“Well, well, who do we have here?”
He walked closer to the folded mess on the floor of the dungeon and slowly came down to her height. Taking a proper look, he noticed that there were no scratches or wounds on her body. Of course, a glass porcelain delivered to Lucian’s doorstep which he started to treasure. It is unfortunate that she will no longer be treated as glass here.
“Please… please let me go. I’m innocent”, Amara cracked out.
The guards and the other people in the room froze at the utterance. Adrik isn’t a man that you plead with. He tells you to do or say something, and you’re to do it without complaint. At that point, they were all sure that Amara would be dead in the next minute.
Adrik gave a coy smile and shook his head. “You’re innocent?”
Amara frantically nodded, hoping that she might somehow get through to this man as the others were like bricks. So hard to penetrate. “Please, I was just going to see a friend before I was taken by your men. I have never hurt anybody in my life.”
“You want me to let you go?”
“Yes. I will be eternally grateful to you”
Adrik stood straight and sighed. He gestured to the guards at the door to open the gates and let her out. Amara couldn’t believe how easy it was to convince him.
“You can leave my dear. I am so sorry to have brought you here. My men must have made a terrible mistake with the person who they’re supposed to capture. And you must forgive me, I never prey on innocent people. You’re free to go”
“Really?” She asked
“Accept my apologies again” Adrik replied and stood, moving out of her way.
Amara shakily got up to her feet, and looked around slowly. She saw the man beside Adrik, whom she assumed is his beta, shaking his head at her, probably telling her not to leave. But it has been given to her on a platter of gold. So why not? This might be her only opportunity to leave here for good.
She took a step forward, then another. She looked back at Adrik and saw him giving her the go ahead. Well, trash it. She decided to make a run for it. She wasn’t even past four of the fifteen guards in the dungeon when she felt her hair being yanked back. Next thing she saw was herself thrown against the rough wall.
She groaned in pain, holding her head up against her palm. Before she could get through processing the pain, she was yanked roughly to her knees and a large scruffy palm connected with her throat. She struggled against the hand, unable to breathe well.
“Now listen well. I don’t care who is innocent or not. Your stupid master has something that I want and he has refused to let me have it. You are just one of my unlimited plans. You will stay here and you will suffer together with that thing he has planted in your belly. Pray that he grants me my desire early enough because once you push that thing in your belly out, I will have no use for you. And you know what I do with useless things? I dispose of them. You should get that into your useless brain”.
Adrik pushed her down to the wall when he was done talking. Amara gasped for a much needed oxygen and looked up at the man in fear. Now she knows that running away has been a terrible mistake.
“Lock her up until I decide what best to do with her”
I'm trying to see if I can start updating chapters daily but work has been so tedious. Baby steps right? What do you think about Adrik? Leave me a comment if you read this chapter. Love you all. Mwah.

I see you’ve gotten the tropy that you have been looking for”. A middle aged woman who looked like she had seen the worst things that life had to offer, sat on a couch in Adrik’s sitting room, her legs crossed. She gave a lopsided grin while looking at Adrik who was fixing them some drinks at his private bar. Adrik turned with two glasses of wine and walked slowly towards her, a victorious glint shining through her eyes. He handed one glass to her and took a sip from his. “For a supposed trophy that has been causing havoc in my kingdom, I expected much. But she was just average” “Well, she hasn’t been treated well by your aides, not that we want to spoil her but you should know that she is carrying the child that you have always wanted. Nothing should happen to it until it is born” Adrik nodded. “I know that. That is why I still have the patience to tolerate whatever is spilling from her mouth. Such hassles". The woman smiled and fixed Adrik a serious gaze. “What are you going

I woke up with a throbbing headache and a split skull. Yep, I could definitely say that my skull was split in two because why do I feel like someone performed an acrobatic on them? I tried to move my hands and met with stiff opposition. I pulled a little bit hard and was rewarded with a sharp pain in my wrist. Startled, I opened my eyes and looked over at my hand. I was chained to the head of a bed with a handcuff. I looked around the room; this definitely wasn't the prison that I was confined to. This space was much better and cleaner. It almost looked like a normal person’s home but I knew that having a home was far from me. “Sweet. You’re awake. I was wondering whether to baptize you with a pack of ice cubes. Thankfully you got the memo before you woke” My head turned to the sound of the voice. It was him. The same werewolf who had ordered my abduction. Then the realization hit me. I was supposed to have been out of here by now. I pretended that I had collapsed after they ope
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 8- The lewd encounter
I looked at the petite omega who was brushing my hair. She looked so thin that I wondered if the last time that she ate good food was weeks ago. Are omegas treated that badly in this pack? Lucian, no matter how ruthless he was, never treated an omega badly to this extent. Not again. How did Lucian’s name come up again? I really need to find a way to get rid of the thoughts that keep intruding into my head. I sighed and looked at the omega through the mirror. “Why did Alpha Adrik order that I be cleaned and brought to his bedroom?” She kept on brushing my hair, pretending to not understand what I was saying. Were they sworn to an oath of secrecy too? This pack is strange for all the right reasons. Adrik must have them at the edge of their seats. Is he that ruthless? Even more than Lucian? Uh-uh Here we go again. That’s it. No more. I sat up and looked at myself in the mirror. Within a few days, my eyes have sunk a little into my sockets and my collarbone has become a bit conspi

The shock of the impact paralyzed me for some seconds before I finally regained myself. I had it coming right? I mean, dress up and come to my bed equaled this, didn't it?He pressed me more into him, all the while forcing his tongue down my throat. His breath tasted like rotten tuna and his animalistic growls made me want to tear him apart. Not in a good way, trust me. My opinion wasn’t any of his concern as he continued his assault on me with his hands.His mouth finally left mine and went down to my neck and I got a much-needed breather. I could feel him growing harder and harder on me and his ragged breath poured on my ears like a generator that would soon run out of fuel. Maybe his mate would have found it sexy but I definitely did not. I wanted to get out of this room; I wanted him to get his hands off me. And goddess knows that I wanted to choke him so much there and then.“Get on the bed and spread your legs”, he ordered gruffly.I swallowed hard and pressed my lips together.
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 10- Wake up!
“Amy…wake up Amy”A guttural sound that I was never sure could come out from my vocal cords escaped my lips. Someone was shaking me frantically and whoever this person was, he or she was bent on stripping me of the rest that I had managed to get not too long ago after the excruciatingly tiring tasks that Adrik signed over to me for the day.I tried to move my feet but they proved uncooperative, like they were tied together and placed underneath some kind of rock. Yep, that was how tired I was. And honestly, all I wanted to do was lie back and enjoy the little solitude that I had left before the next morning. but this person was insistent.Oh, goddess! Has Adrik sent one of his thugs to come pick me up for another tete-a-tete? I had barely survived the last desecration which he made on my body and I am not yet ready for another one.Surely he cannot be this insatiable when it comes to women? And besides he has a whole harem. What’s
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 11 - Echoes of meeting
Days after the incident with Alpha Adrik, I was let off on some heavy jobs that I had been doing. I know that I should be glad and even grateful for that but you know what they say about dining with the devil. One has to use a long fork to be prepared for when he decides to suddenly tear your throat out from your neck in the middle of dining. I was worried. I worried that by the time he decided that I must have been healthy enough to start the tasks again, he would increase it to three times whatever I used to do. Honestly, I’d much rather continue at this pace. But how can I stand against the almighty Adrik’s decree? I decided to take a little walk around the garden of the manor to clear my head because it was a little fuzzy. All my plans to leave this place have fallen through and from the hard-faced warriors that I see at every corner of the manor, I just knew that escaping this hell is not a reality anymore. A tiny kick in my belly suddenly rooted me to a stop. I gasped in surpr

“Well?” Adrik said, looking from Chad to me. “Share the joke so that we all can be merry.” Chad stepped in front of me and bowed stiffly to Adrik. “I was about to fetch her as you requested, alpha. We were about coming to you” “Indeed. Seeing as I have watched you two from a distance for about ten minutes now, I’d say you were really quick in the discharge of your duties, Chad.” His bloodshot eyes made me shudder. I’ve seen him furious before but this time felt different. This time, he was enraged and it felt to me like it was more than the fact that his Beta wasted time to bring me to him. It was in-depth, and a little personal. I quickly went around Chad knelt and threw myself on the ground before Adrik. Hopefully, his egoistic side will turn a blind eye to whatever it is that is making him rage and focus on the weak little female who is lying on his feet. I grab a foot and place my head on it, making sure to show how vulnerable I felt before him and how much I was at his mercy.

Her gaze was harsh and certainly not friendly. Sincerely, if not for the seriousness of the moment, I probably would have cracked out a wheeze because she looked sourer than a lime. She walked towards me, her eyes taking in my appearance from my head down to my toe. I internally reminded myself not to try this one’s patience. Witches are not my favorite people in the world. I remember when I was around 12 years old before my stepfather sold me out, a witch had cursed a family to never be productive and she died before she could undo the spell. Now that family has a long generational curse in their lineage with no one to break it. And I know what you’re thinking. There’s always a loophole. I agree, but for close to eight years now, that loophole is yet to be found. So, no; I do not want to get into her bad books. You can call me weak or spineless but I do not think there’s a need to be spine-ful or strong if I’m dead. “I see that Adrik has taken a fancy to you. So you’re his new play

~Amara~It was the signal, the one I’d been waiting for. The Hollow Ball that Adrik held wavered and then vanished, along with the shimmering lights and strange haze of power that had filled the room. He rose to his feet, his gaze dark as he turned to me.“Omega, stay here. Guards!” he barked, calling them to his side. “I’ll deal with whatever this is.”I nodded, forcing myself to look as calm as possible even though my pulse was racing. As soon as Adrik left the room, my instincts took over, and I darted for the door, every nerve on fire with anticipation. Chad would be waiting for me. I could hardly believe that soon we’d be free of this place, but I knew every second counted.Apart from that fact, I didn’t want Lucian blocking me or even trying to talk about what happened in the past. I wasn’t up for that at all. All I wanted was to get to where Chad was in one piece.I was halfway down the hall when a figure appeared, blocking my path. I gasped, thinking that it was one of Adrik’s
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 72: The escape
~Chad~“Fire! Fire!!”The second I heard the alarm, I knew it was time for me to act fast. I couldn’t waste any more time because I can’t tell how long it would be before Adrik finds out that this was a fake alarm. My body reacted faster than my mind could, every nerve alive despite the gnawing pain that felt like fire under my skin. It didn't matter. Pain had become the background music of my life in this place, and I’d learned to ignore it. What mattered now was getting out.With a shaky breath, I forced myself to my feet and patted around the corner of the floor for the small key Lydia had smuggled in. She’d risked everything to get it to me, and I wasn’t about to waste her efforts. My hands trembled as I slotted it into the lock, the heavy, rusted door clicking open with a sound that was somehow both too loud and too soft. I slowly pushed the heavy iron door open, waiting a moment to see if anyone would notice by any chance that a prisoner’s door has been opened.The corridor o
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 71: The Hollow Ball
~Amara~As I stepped into the grand ballroom, my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. The room was filled with elegantly dressed guests, laughter, and music that floated through the air. Every flicker of a candle seemed too bright, every footstep around me too loud. I kept reminding myself to breathe, to appear composed, but with the weight of what I was supposed to do, it was a bit hard to pretend.Adrik had told me that he wouldn’t have any need for me until the dinner starts, so that mean that I have enough time to plan my movements carefully. I just hoped that I wouldn’t need to make it to that dinner before I get my cue to escape with Chad. My freedom was so close and I could smell it. Soon enough, I would be able to know how it felt to have my freedom. And it wouldn’t be just about me. It would also be about my child.I smiled, my hand going to my belly instinctively. This baby wouldn’t live the kind of life that I’ve led. He won’t have a mother who will sell hi
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 70: I’ll help you
~Amara~I stood in front of the mirror in my room, the dress that Adrik had picked out for me clutched in my hands.Tonight is the night.This is the night that will either make or mar me.This is the night that I get my freedom, and together with the man that I love.This is the night of the Hollow Ball.I was excited at the thought of finally leaving this hellhole and going somewhere far away from this kingdom. Chad and I have sometimes talked about the possibility of settling in the human world, and it had sounded like a good plan. All we needed to do was make sure that no one suspects our identity. We’ll just blend in and make sure to avoid staying outside on full moons.But then again, I still couldn’t shake off the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. It felt as if I was about to embark on a suicide mission. As if this was the most foolish thing to do. A part of me screamed at me to abandon this plan and live as peacefully as possible with alpha Adrik instead of putting my
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 69: Whatever happens
~Amara~“You want to break the Beta out of the dungeon? Are you crazy? That stunt can cost you your life!” Lydia whispered harshly, looking towards the door as if there was someone listening to her.“I have to, Lydia. They’re gonna kill him if I don’t”She paused for a moment as if digesting what she just heard. “What do you mean they’re going to kill him? Who are ‘they’?”“Alpha Adrik and Katherine. They want to kill him because he supposedly raped me”I could tell by the confusion on her face that she still wasn’t getting what I was trying to say. She knew that Chad and I were an item so saying that he raped me would be a little confusing for her. but if she was going to help me get Chad out of the dungeon by distracting the guards there and laying false alarms over a fire or something else worthy of attention, then I needed to explain everything to her in detail.“Did he really do that to you? He’s always come across to me as a fine gentleman. How did he suddenly change into a perv
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 68: I need your help
~Amara~“Why would you do something like that? The alpha is so mad. And is in pain. Even though he healed really quickly. What were you thinking?”I plopped myself on the chair in the kitchen while Lydia peeled some potatoes for dinner. I’d come to her because I needed to talk to someone and she was the only other person that I could talk to, apart from Chad.Yes, I knew that I was supposed to still act like I do not have my memories back, but I just wanted to talk to someone familiar and friendly. A person whom I trusted. And Lydia was the only other person who filled in that role.After the incident with Alpha Adrik, he had quickly growled at me to leave his presence at once and I didn’t need any other prompting to scramble away from his room. The fact that nobody came to arrest me or put me in the dungeon for attempting to hurt the alpha is one thing that I’m still puzzled about, stemming from the fact that Alpha Adrik almost never forgives.What if he had something deadly planned

~Lucian~“No. get that out of my face”The servant bowed and backed away, while another came up again with yet some other kind of ridiculous-looking cloth. I glared at him, holding in the urge to grip his neck and snap it so that I could save him the stress of living in this world forever. Because sooner or later, I was going to snap his neck if he wasn’t careful.“Are you this dumb usually? How would you bring me this as an option to wear to the Hollow Ball? You think this is enough to woo my mate back?” I snapped at him.“But my king; these clothes are nice. They’re one of the best clothes that you have” Elsie said from her perched position.If I wouldn’t be damned.She should just thank the moon goddess that she’s like a mother to me. If not, it would have been a different story. And the fact that she knew this was what gave her the effrontery to challenge my words.I whipped my gaze to her and smiled. “Why, Elsie? Would you like to wear them instead? Maybe you’d help wear it in my

~Amara~He crashed his lips against mine unexpectedly, warranting a grunt of disgust from me. Of all the things that I thought he would do, this wasn’t one of them. or so I thought when he expressed displeasure at my bulging stomach.I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but his grip at the back of my neck was too tight and I couldn’t really move.This wasn’t part of the plan. Please, all I want is for him to stop.As if my prayers worked, he stopped at that instant and stepped back. The thought of puking settled in my mind but if I even tried to do that, I would only aggravate his anger. I took a step back, forcing myself to swallow the spittle that was mostly his.“Strip”My eyes jerked to him immediately. What was that? I put my hands into my ear to clean it because I didn’t think I heard him correctly.“I’m sorry? I didn’t hear you the first time, alpha” I said, trying to hold my fingers steady from shaking.“You said you wanted to be close to me, right? How else do you think you can
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 65: I just want to be close to my alpha
~Amara~I quickly swung into action after I visited Chad. And surprisingly, I found out that the guard at the dungeon did have a thing for me. Weird; and I just hoped he wasn’t a creep who loves to be with pregnant werewolves specifically. A copy of the keys of the gate to the dungeon and Chad’s cells were made by someone whom he had directed to me for help and someone whom we could trust. After that, I quickly went back and stylishly returned the key to the guard. I was able to breathe well after going over the first plan.For the second plan, I didn’t need to be so gummed to the waist to Katherine because I knew that somehow, something in her had shifted. And that shift was for good. But that didn’t mean that I wouldn’t try to sweet-talk her once in a while.Which leaves me with Alpha Adrik. Trying to make me believe that I was a hundred percent with him wasn’t my problem. My problem was the thing that might come after it. Alpha Adrik could be compared to a horny dog and just wants
