Chapter 2: Alpha of the Southern Pack

DAMIEN'S POV

Am I hearing it right? This woman rejected my offer? As one of the strongest Alpha of the South, no one has ever disappointed me before and even dare to mock my Alpha position but this woman has no fear to challenged me. 

I stepped forward and harshly ordered my Zeta guards to continue on whipping her until she will finally accept it. 

" Hit her as hard as possible until her skin bleeds! This kind of attitude won't get tolerated inside my jurisdiction!", I roared. 

My executioner throw another lash on her back and I never heard any small whimper coming from her lips. 

" You dare to challenge me? Just wait and everyone even your father will get to see how I turned evil to those stubborn wolf!", I roared threatening her. 

The night turned deep and the Goddess Luna was almost covered with dark clouds as I looked up. I won't end this night without any bloodshed. This woman needs to learn a lesson from me. 

I walked closer and harshly cupped her face with my claws. She wince as my sharp claws cut deep on her face. She's struggling from my grip but I saw no fear and regret in her eyes. I never thought Edda would grow brave even dare to challenge my Alpha's order. I saw how she slightly sneered even her cuts keep going deeper as I dug my claws in her soft skin. 

" Are you really going to get hard on me? Why? Why? Are you not afraid that I might kill you now?", my voice were firm and loud. 

Her eyes seems mocking on me even she's not opening her mouth to talk. She only stayed there with determination in her eyes that she will fight me until her death. 

I decided to let go of her face and I saw how the crimson blood stream down her cheeks. Everyone saw it and terrified. I shifted my gaze back to her father and her pack but no one even dared to look on her. They're all bowing their head down the ground while hearing her muffled wince. 

She won't submit and admit her crime. Edda kept on challenging my Alpha title. I guess she's doing this on purpose to show to my true mate Imore that I was weak and a coward Alpha of the South. That made me furious and inferior. 

" Everyone, my decision is final! Since Edda won't confess, I'll give her the Law of Exile! I won't kill her but she will be cast out from the whole perimeter of the Southern Pack." I made an announcement and everyone started to clamor. 

" We must kill her, My Alpha! She will try to kill me!", Imore made her first voice since the marking day a few hours ago. 

She stepped forward while giving me her vulnerable side. She looks scared and rattled. As her Alpha, I want her to think that I am strong and a great ruler. An Alpha that no one dare to abide any rules I made for my packs. 

I slowly hold her shoulders to make her calm. 

" Okay, I'll do as you say." I simply said and face the crowd again.

" For my mate's safety, I decided to give Edda the Law of Death!", I announced and I clearly heard her gasp in shock. 

I turned around to see her reaction and she finally made a look of wolf asking for my mercy. I felt a bit of happiness in my heart that finally, I get to make her submit. 

I returned back my gaze to her father, Alpha Conrad who finally looked up after hearing my final order. I saw his terrified face and regret for his daughter's punishment. I waited if he will try to stop me but he didn't say anything. 

I face the crowd again to announce about Edda's final judgement. 

" Well, since everyone agreed including Edda's packs, I will now order my executioner to cut off her head with a sharp sword in his hand. He will make it quick as possible to make her feel no pain." I said as my final order but my Beta came forward and whispered some news in my ear.

My eyes widened to hear his news. He told me that Lycan King Killan is coming and he will chose one Omega to be his maid slave. The Lycan King was more stronger than any Alpha and they don't show mercy at all when you betrayed them. This execution thing was against his rule so I immediately ordered everyone to get back to their respective houses and I decided to let go of Edda. 

" The Lycan King is coming. No one will ever tell what happened today, understand? You're lucky because he will show no mercy if he will find out about this!", I warned her to keep her mouth sealed. 

To make her fear me, I whispered something in her ears. 

" Try to do anything stupid, or I'll kill all of your packs especially your beloved father!", my voice sounds cold and eirie that can put shivered on her spine. 

After the executioner unchained her, I called out her father to take her home. I also warned him to seal his lips when the Lycan King arrived. 

I took my mate's hands and about to walked out leaving her when Edda suddenly called my name. 

" Damien?", she softly mumbled. 

Her voice sounds gentle yet cold. 

I turned around and face her while Imore waited me a few inches away. 

" Do you want to confess now what you did to Imore now that everyone left?", I asked her feeling irritated. 

I saw her chuckled in front of me. Those smiles on her lips don't look like she's happy but it's a smile of mockery. 

" Do you think I wanted to be your Luna? It's never my dream to be married to any Alphas because for me, Alpha are just packs leaders who are selfish and cold-hearted!", those sharp words coming out from her filthy mouth made my veins ignites in fire. 

It's my first time to have someone stand up before me and she's Edda, just a lowly Omega who was powerless and useless. She's really getting into my nerves. I hate shifting to my wolf form because it's sickening to take but this Omega wolf dared me. 

I started to summoned my wolf Argo inside to come out but I felt Imore's lips near my ears whispering towards me. 

" Don't let her take over your guard down, my Alpha. Let's just go and leave her." She said and I calm down. 

" You have to thank Imore for keeping you alive for now. I hope the Lycan King will chose you to be his slave mate! You're just a mouse roaming around my jurisdiction and I don't like it!"

, I sternly said as me and Imore made our way back to the pack house.
