A second later, an email notification entered my phone and I quickly ended the call to check it.
I could not believe what I saw next in the video that was just sent through the mail.
I sat up from my resting position to watch it properly. When he told me about it over the phone, I didn’t believe him but watching it on the phone now was another thing entirely.
The way the branches came out from nowhere all of a sudden and drag every one of them to the forest was something I never imagined happening and disrupting the plan.
From what I saw on the video, they were about to kill all the guards, and the next minute, this happened.
I let out an angry shriek and flung my phone to the floor.
<His being there now will definitely complicate things for me. I thought we had enough time to rescue the leader but now that's too late. I've heard how brutal Prince Zeid can be when he is the one doing the questioning of prisoners and also how every one of them confesses to him even before he starts and now that it is his mate and the princess that is involved, he will definitely be involved in the questioning if not in charge of it. I need to find a way to save him or get rid of him before he confesses. If not he will I will be dragged down along with him. How did a perfectly planned work get to this point? I planned it with no room for a mistake but now it's all crumbled down. Okay, I need to calm down and think. Now is not the time for regrets. I need to act fast before things get out of hand more. First thing first, I picked my phone and dialed the same number I've been calling. On the first ring, it was picked."Find a way to
Coming to a stop a few feet away in front of him, "With what was apparent from your expression just now, I can see that you've heard about how I can be in the dungeon. Therefore you know what awaits you." I smirked at him. Nodding at the guards standing right outside the door, "Cut the branches off his body and make sure he feels their presence as you do so." They began in cutting the branches from his body roughly leaving him to yelp out in pain. At first, I stayed behind to watch them do this but later decided to leave them to it as this was more than enough to inflict pain on him for the main time. "Inform me when you are done cutting them off," I told the guards and left them to search for my mate. I walk to her chambers which I'm considering changing. I intend to get her to move to mine so I can keep her close to me and protect her myself. "Your Highness" "Your Highness" "Your Highness" "Your Highness"
A smile threatened to appear on my face as the memory of that day surfaced before me. ... I head back to the packhouse in search of answers. At this point, I was already seeing red and my wolf had surfaced and was seeking out blood in retribution for how our mate was treated. And retribution I will get and will take pleasure in doing so starting from the Alpha and her so-called uncle who was the beta, followed by all that will that took part in making her life a living hell. "Prince Zeid did you go in search of that tramp. Hehe, You shouldn't have. If you wanted her to be punished immediately, we will search her out and bring her to you immediately." I let out a growl as I slammed him against the wall and grabbed him by the neck with my left hand lifting him off the ground and squeezing it leaving little to no room to breathe for him. "Tell me something Alpha, after the incident with her parents, how was she treated b
Facing the Alpha, "Now Alpha kindly step forward and tell your pack who mother goddess has created to be my mate. They all faced where their Alpha was and gave collective gasps at the state he was in. looking helpless, he limped to the feet of the podium, "Y...Your Highness". There were whispers among them as they speculated on what happened to their fearless Alpha and why. I'm sure they were wondering what could have left their powerful Alpha in this pitiful state. I smirk as I know they are yet to see anything. They don't know what awaits them. "Y...your Highness, if you would please...w...we had no idea she was your m...mate. If we did w...we would
“I...I...your Highness, the d...day miss Ashley parents died, She had a serious argument with the both of them where she made a statement that she wished they would die so they can leave her to live her life the way she wanted to. Fortunately, I was with them when this was said, and later that evening she was found alone with shredded body parts of her parents making her the first suspect and we also did not find any signs that they were killed by rogues. Also with time, we got to know that she is wolfless making us more suspicious that she was in fact not a normal werewolf living us to believe she killed them and would have done that using strange means to kill them.” The instant he started I do my best to contain my wolf from going rampage once again. But the more he spoke, the more I feel my anger skyrocketing and my eyes getting darker and darker, and just gave in to him gladly. Once my headstrong wolf, Leon takes cont
The feeling of what kind of terror would they face next. As I got down from the podium, Brice walked to my front stopping me on my track, "Bro you have to undo what you've done before it's too late. Before this turns into a huge thing that you won't have control over any longer.That it will escalate to extend it will affect the whole kingdom. Have you thought of that Bro? I know the pack treated your mate badly and deserves to be punished for it and taking the lives of the alpha and beta should be enough to pass your message to them not this. This is creating a predicament with this for not only you and the kingdom but also for your mate that we don't know where she is or how far she has gone since you discovered that she was your mate." At first, I didn't want to listen to him but knew I had to. I close my eyes, take in a deep breath, before opening them and landing him a heavy punch that threw him across the room as a repercussion
"You know, you being difficult and not talking is precisely what I wished for and wanted. It gives me the excuse to do to you as I wish" I look at the tool I picked as I spoke. The tool, a thumbscrew, is one of my favorite torture devices that I use on those that fall victim to my torture. The device has two flat metal pieces that my victims' thumbs are placed, connected by one or more screws. The metal bars have ridges, either smooth bumps or sharp spikes, that would bore into their thumbs, trapping them in the metal mechanism thereby crushing their bones. It's a small, torturous device that inflicts extreme pain without much effort. Too small that they tend to underestimate it at first sight without experiencing what it is capable of at first. But once used on them, they became frightful of it and any preceding devices I use next because the thumbscrew put them on alert that if the first instrument on them could be this deadly,
I can't blame him for shrinking away from me in fear. If it were to be any other person also they would do more than that at this moment, and unfortunately for him, I've just started. Standing up again, I went for the table when I heard him say with a shaky voice, "P...please". Stopping beside him, I raise my hand to pat his shoulder but as I raise it, he whimpers in fear. "It's not yet time for you to be pleading, you see, I've just started with you and we are still a long way from finishing here. Therefore I will advise you to keep your energy for later." Saying that I walk to the table to take the next device to use on him. *** After many hours of me going on and on with my torture and making sure to keep him alive all through the way, I was finally satiated with my need for blood. The cell was filled with the pungent smells of urine, blood, and sweat. Walking out of the cell, I unbutton
At my question, he looked away, unable to meet my eyes. After a lengthy silence, he finally sighed and softly whispered, "That night, I was not myself. It was the red blood moon night, and I couldn't control my actions. On every red blood moon night, every creature that was yet to have a partner in our kingdom was unable to control their transformation and urge to copulate with the opposite gender. Hence any creature that was still single on this night would find themselves in a precarious situation. For those with royal blood, the situation was even more dire. The urge and lack of control were ten times stronger than the average changeling. We can hardly control ourselves, and most times, we tend to isolate ourselves completely from others to avoid any potential harm or consequences." He said with a heavy heart before walking the short distance to the window and staring blankly into the distance."That day I had been away on a trip that needed my very presence. It was one that I coul
"What? My father?" I looked at the 'young' handsome man in front of me in disbelief.He was claiming to be my long-lost father, a fact that seemed impossible to comprehend.I mean, how could someone this young be my father? He looked so young that he could easily be mistaken for my older brother.He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable, golden-brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light-toned face. His chestnut-colored hair pulled back into a neat ponytail; he truly was the epitome of elegance and grace. He had a certain air of wisdom and maturity that was beyond his looks, making it even more perplexing to accept the fact that he was my father.With his cheekbones and piercing golden brown eyes, he certainly had the same striking features as me, making it difficult to deny that we were related.However, that wasn't the thing that got me perplexed. It was his status as king that got to me the most."Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that you are my father and also the
Unknown POVKnock, knock, knock.The knocking on the door disrupted the activity that was going on behind the closed door, and a series of frustrated curse words came gushing out of the mouths of those occupying the room."Greetings, my Lord. May I come in?" A man in a combination of black clothes with an eye patch on his left eye, with silky long black hair tied together at the nape of his neck, said towards the door to the man in the room."Didn't I mention it earlier that I'm not to be disturbed? Why do you think that you could disobey my orders?""A-apologies, my Lord, I came bearing news of great importance that could no longer wait for a moment." The man standing outside the room stammered."What is so urgent that it couldn't wait until morning and had to trouble me on it?"The man's disgruntled voice grunted out between groans of pleasure as the owner kept pounding the female bent before him with urgency. The sound of flesh hitting flesh increased drastically along with the wai
"Yes, we are changelings. We can change our appearance at will, blending seamlessly into any environment or society. We are a rare breed, feared and misunderstood by many. But to those who truly know us, we are loyal and protective friends."Hmm, loyal and protective indeed.With a sly smile, he added. "For thousands of years, we have stayed hidden, isolated ourselves from the rest of the world, until recently. There are those who no longer like the way we keep to ourselves and want to let the world know of our existence. It's probably one of them that you encountered before me and that tried to harm you. The reason behind that attack is unknown to us, but rest assured, I will protect you from anyone who tries to harm you and also find out who has done such a thing and the reason behind it. I will get to the bottom of it. But for now, this is all I can tell you. I will leave the rest to your father to explain to you when he comes to see you."The whole information about their being wa
"What do you mean by that?" I was confused by his words.Why is it his duty to protect me?"Protecting you is my sole purpose," the mysterious figure replied with a calm and reassuring smile. "I was privileged to be appointed by your father to protect you at all costs."Perplexed, I repeated questioningly, "My father?" I wasn't sure if I heard him correctly.Growing up, all I heard about him was that he was a beast that had forced himself on my mother and had his way with her. I never imagined that, apart from hearing about my father in the same sentence as a monster, I would hear about him in a different sentence entirely different from the ones I had grown up with. I had no idea if he was even dead or alive, or who he was or even looked like. There was nothing to tell me anything about him. The word father to me was more like a passing word that was used to insult me when needed."Yes, your father. He is very much alive, and he sent me to look for you and protect you as soon as he go
I quickly walked toward the door and hoped it wasn't locked, but my hope was dampened when I tried the handle and found it wouldn't budge. I became more anxious as I realized that escaping was going to be much more difficult than I had anticipated.What to do?What to do?I searched around the room to see if there was another way out.The window.I quickly darted toward it and checked if it was unlocked.To my joy, it was.However, that joy was short-lived because, as soon as I pushed it open, I realized that it was way high above the ground, and attempting to climb out would be extremely dangerous.To be precise, the room I was placed in was at the top of a tall tower. I was trapped.No wonder they hadn't bothered sealing the window shut. It was impossible to escape.Feeling extreme despair, I collapsed onto the cold stone floor and held my head with both hands. A sense of hopelessness washed over me as I realized there was no way out.I stayed that way for a while, only to hear a wiz
"Hehe, I didn't think it would be this easy after everything that had happened so far," another male voice said."Of course it is. That was why I told you guys to let me do it since no one would suspect me and I have the closest access to her." I heard Agatha's voice say, surprising me. I didn't expect her to be involved in this. I never for once thought she was involved in the whole thing."Yeah, let's get out of here before they notice her absence and come searching for her," the first male said."As if they would. No one cares about her that much, especially not her so called mate." With a smirk laced to his voice, the second male replied."Let's just get out of here before they notice her absence for too long. "Before they realize she's missing and start looking for her," another voice said, and I felt my body being lifted and moved right before I completely lost consciousness.Prince Dante's POVI know I've not been the best mate to her, but I needed to keep my distance from her
By the time I finished taking my shower and came out of the bathroom, the prince had gone, with no sign of him ever being there in the first place. I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and longing. I had thought that since he had taken the time to come to the room today, we would have had a chance to finally talk and get to know each other better. But now, it seemed like that opportunity had slipped away.Talk of someone who goes and comes as he wishes, it was clear that he had no intention of working on our mate bond—at least not now.It was quite disappointing, but who was I to blame if not me? I could understand his unwillingness to complete the mating bond between us.After all, I was the one who worked as a spy for the enemy and is still being suspected of working for the enemy, no matter how subtle they seem not to show their suspicions towards me.I let out a deep breath and went about doing my usual routine for the day.By evening, the dress finally came from the
On getting to the prince's private quarters, I was extremely tired and fell asleep immediately.However, I was woken up by a loud noise in the middle of the night and jolted up from the bed, frightened. Initially, I thought it was the prince who had entered the room, but to my surprise, it was a shadow hidden in the darkness of the room that sent chills down my spine."W…who is there?" I called as I quickly reached out to switch on the table lamb that was placed beside me on the bedside table. However, when the light illuminated the room, there was no one there. Instead, only a cold, empty silence filled the air.But I could not be wrong about what I had seen. I was certain that I saw a shadow in the corner of the room right before I turned on the light, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone or something was watching me. But since I didn't see anything, I tried to put the unease feelings aside and went back to sleep. But the lingering sense of unease stayed with me through
