As if I was burned, I pushed him in an instant and took a step back.
Merely hearing that stupid name was already sending indescribable disgust in every inch of my body. With a cringed face, I glared at him. “And why will I want to see that woman?”
Kylian’s lips widened into a smile. With a teasing look and a raised brow, he asked, “Jealous?”
In an instant, I slapped his chest and glared at him. “In your dreams.”
He pulled me into his embrace again, this time properly explaining, “About her and me… It’s all a misunderstanding. And I want all of our misunderstandings to be clear.”
Both of his arms were around my waist. I had to lean and curve my body back a bit to look into his eyes.
I narrowed my eyes, calculatively staring at him. “Is there even something to explain?”
“Hey!” I shouted when he sneaked a kiss on my lips.
“Yes! And I won’t stop until all your doubts in me vanish.” He raised his other hand and tenderly held my cheek. With his lips just a few centimeters away from mine, he whispered, “I’ll give you all the reassurance you need. I love you, Della.”
“We’re going down there?” I asked with a disgusting face while pointing at the ancient tunnel before us.
He nodded. “Yes, how else will we be able to see Gianna?”
I scoffed in confusion and delight. “You threw her in the dungeon?”
“Now, aren’t you glad to hear that?” Then, he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
Every pack would likely have its own dungeon, which wasn’t used anymore. Dungeons were the prison in the old days. But now, it was barely used as in modern times, more comfortable and in human prison cells were built.
Only those who committed severe and unforgivable crimes would likely be thrown in there.
That’s why it explained why the inside was so dark. Beneath my feet, I could feel how damp the ground was. It’s also cold from the moisture of the water, and molds could be felt from every wall of this place.
I could hear various insects crawling everywhere and the smell… Oh my goodness! It stinks!
Haven’t even been here for a full minute, and I already wanted to puke and run back. How much more for someone who was being imprisoned here? I couldn’t imagine the terror.
In the middle of walking, I suddenly froze as my breathing hitched and my heartbeat stopped.
On our left side was a stone prison. It’s a room whose walls were made of stones and also been known as a torture room.
Various kinds of whips with silver ends hung on the other side of the wall. There were also many more kinds of torture devices with silvers on them. I swallowed the know forming in my throat from the overflowing pain circuiting from my heart.
I couldn’t help but remember the days when I would see Kylian writing in pain because of the wounds in his back and extremities from the whips given to him by Luke. The bastard treated Kylian like this just because he won't sign the divorce papers with me!
Because silvers made it hard for our wolves to heal our bodies, it was the best device for torture, but that’s also why I couldn’t imagine how much pain he went through.
“Hey, are you alright?” Kylian’s voice echoed through the entire corridor.
With a choked voice, I asked, “I-is this where he tortures you?”
He stepped closer to me, wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and kissed my temple. “It’s all in the past. No need to worry about it.”
I shifted my body, and wrapped my arms around his waist instead, feeling his fast heartbeat on my ears. “I love you…”
“Now, that’s something I will never get tired of hearing of.”
“Let’s go,” he added after a while.
At the deep end of the dungeon, a cell was guarded by several warriors, standing still on the sides with a woman in the middle of them.
She wore the clothes of a slave. With that improper fit, torn ends, and dirty clothes on her body, Gianna’s once arrogant facade was stripped off. Now, she looked nothing but a pitiful woman with nothing.
I took a deep breath as we got closer to them. In front of me was a woman of the same upbringing and character as Flora, that’s why it’s so disgusting to see that she had the same face as me.
As we got more closer, we started hearing the echo of Gianna’s voice as she acted lower than one could even expect from her.
She looked sideways at one of the guard and flirtatiously held his arm. While fluttering her eyelashes, she spoke, “Can’t you let me go? I’ll definitely show you my outmost gratitude once I become the Luna.”
The guard pushed her arm away and sneered at him. “Who do you think you’re fooling? We already have a Luna and that’s Luna Della.”
Looking at Gianna from head to toe, the guard continued, “And not some slave like you.”
Gianna scoffed. “That’s woman? Huh! She’s a prostitute slutting her ass around many men! She’ll be gone sooner or later!”
As soon as I heard that, anger boiled withing me. Who the fuck was she that she think she could speak such words without facing any consequences?
Such words were known as fatal slander among women! It’s a minimum respect to never spoke such words.
“Look…” Gianna got close to the guard again. This time, she held his hand with both her hands and even rubbed her fake boobs on his arm. “Please… She and I were both omegas. That Della has been seducing men from time to time.But me…”
She seductive looked at him, battering her eyes, acting all beautiful. “I never dare to act that insolent even though I’m envied by my beauty by many. Because I know my place. I’m just an omega.”
“You have to believe me. It won’t be long before Alpha Kylian see her true colors and discard her!” She continued, “By then, I know Alpha Kylian will settle for the best. He’ll be with me.”
After that word, Kylian took a step forward with a fisted hand. Before he could strode forward though, I grabbed his wrist, stopping him. Shaking my head, I signaled him to keep still as I wanted to see more.
I stared at the guard, waiting for his reaction.
Unexpectedly, the guard didn’t fell on Gianna’s schemes. Instead, he sneered. “Yeah? Then why don’t you just wait until that happens since you are so sure? Why the need to escape here?”
Gianna, going more low, tugged on the guard’s crotch/ Pitifully, she looked around as if monster were out to get her. “It’s so dark here… I’m scared.”
With trembling voice, she explained while slowly moving her hand toward his crotch, “I just want to leave this scary place. If you help me, I’ll surely do everything to repay your kindness.”
My jaw instantly dropped in shock. How disgusting!
She had the guts to make rumors about me being a slut, when there she was acting like a certified prostitute!
At first, I thought she was a pitiful innocent omega who were tested by faith which was why she became cunning, making her block my path when I needed to report to Kylian before. But I never expected that she would stompe this low.
Her acting like that only proved to me how much likeness she had with Flora. They were both scheming and manipulative, greedy for attention and power.
Suddenly, I felt a tender caress in my wrist. Shifting my gaze to the side, I met Kylian’s eyes. “Do you still think I like her?”
With a mischievous smirk on his lips, he said, “I’ll give you a great whow.”
And then, without saying anything further, he walked first, pulling me where Gianna was imprisoned.
