THE ALPHA IS DEAD

I tried to cower and hide my skin under the blanket, but he yanked the blanket away and got off the bed.

"Get down!" He yelled at me, and I jumped out of bed.

I stood naked in front of him, trying to cover myself with my hand as tears stung my eyes

I watched him glare at my body before gritting his teeth and punching the wall behind him, making me jump up in fear.

"I'm not going to ask again," he said vehemently, and I gulped hard on my spit.

"So...so many," I stuttered.

"A name," he growled.

"Alexander," I yelled, quickly covering my mouth with my hand.

He punched the wall once more and stormed out of the room.

I quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my body before sitting on the bed and sobbing.

I knew I'd grown accustomed to how I was treated here and had stopped complaining, but my mate was about to make my stay in this pack ten times worse than it was.

There's no telling what he'll do to Alexander after strangling Alpha Tristan.

I'm not sure why that was the first name that came to mind; Cassie beat me up more than Alexander did, and most of the scars on my body were caused by her using her hot hair thong on my skin, but Alexander was a different kind of bully; he'd tried to molest me on several occasions.

After a few minutes, I quickly stood up and ran out of the room, hoping that if he saw me, he'd reconsider killing Alexander.

I had no idea what mates were, but my mum used to tell me stories about them and how they were each other's strengths and weaknesses.

I hope you're right, mum because if you're wrong and King Adrien kills Alexander, Alpha Tristan will never forgive me and will kill me.

I ran down the stairs and pulled open the door to the dining room where I was sure he was since his scent was stronger there.

My eyes widened at the sight in the room, 

Andrien threw several blows at Alpha Tristan, while Beta Christian was held down by two huge men. Alexander was on the floor covered in blood, but he was alive.

I wanted to rush up to King Adrian and grab his hands to stop him from punching Alpha Alexander, but he raised his head and glared at me.

Alpha Alexander took advantage of this and tried to jab Adrien in the jaw, but he caught his hand and threw a punch at him before rising from his body and taking long steps towards me.

He pushed me out of the room and ordered one of his guards to carry me upstairs. Then he went back in and slammed the door so hard that the upper hinge snapped.

I struggled with the huge man, but he easily dragged me back to the sixth floor, tossed me into the room, and then locked the door.

I paced around the room, tears streaming down my cheeks, silently pleading with the moon goddess to have mercy on me and take me out of this world.

Flashes of what I saw downstairs made my head spin so I went over to the door and started banging on it, pleading with anyone to let me out so I could get away from this whole mess.

I banged on the door until someone opened it, and I was about to beg whoever it was to let me leave when I noticed him.

While I was taking steps back, King Adrien walked into the room and slammed the door.

His nose was bleeding, and his shirt was ripped in several places.

I wanted to reach out and wipe the blood from his nose, but I was afraid of what he might do.

I noticed his pupils were black as he stared at me, indicating that he had let his wolf control him, which scared me so much that I visibly gulped my spit, which was a bad idea because he followed the movement of my throat.

"Get dressed, we're leaving in five minutes," he said as he stormed out of the room again.

I changed into another shirt from his closet and wrapped the blanket around my body because my jacket was ripped.

Someone gently knocked on the door before pulling it open to reveal one of the men that were seated beside King Adrien during the meeting with Alpha Tristan.

He walked in and smiled at me; it was a warm and welcoming smile, so I returned it.

"I came to get you, your Majesty, per the King's order," he said, bowing his head.

I nodded, unsure what to say, and followed him out of the room.

I could hear Luna Catherine crying from the stairs and wondered why she sounded so distressed.

'Did he also beat her up?' I wondered as I walked down the stairs.

"My name is Damien," the guy escorting me said, dragging me away from my thoughts.

"My name is Bella," I replied, returning his smile.

I'm not sure how he kept his cool, but he did it so well because I'd be furious if I had to watch my king beat up an Alpha.

When we got to the bottom of the stairs, he drew me in close and asked me to close my eyes.  

I didn't say anything, but i closed my eyes and just kept walking as instructed.

Luna Catherine's voice grew louder and it pierced my eardrum so I silently pleaded with her to keep it down until someone came running down the hall.

"The Alpha is dead!" yelled the person.
