Chapter 77
1238words
I was trembling with fear, i was at the corner of the room while an angry Alpha was standing in front of me, my cheek red from his violet behavior. I whimpered in pain, holding onto my sore cheek.
"Useless." He muttered with malice.
"I-I'm sorry AlphaKing-"
He glared at me, everything went dark as if he was trapping me further in fear, he was different from before. I don't know how to explain everything that altered about him. Everything was heightened about him, including his anger. I've heard about the rumors that he made contact with Christal a few days back, something must have happened between them again.
But the difference was when AlphaKing Zyrus returned from the fight i'm assuming that they had, he became more heartless.
Like a sleeping beast who's been awakened-
Wait a minute!
I suddenly realized that i knew his name? Zyrus is it? Then if that is true, then the Great White witch must've gave him his name back, as well as awakening the sealed beast that was inside of him!
Alphaking Yasha!
I trembled in fear, my hands shaking from the idea that struck me to realize that right now...
he can really kill me if he wants to.
"I'm sorry! I'm gravely sorry King Zyrus!" My eyes filled with trepidation, i fell on my knees and bowed with my life depending on it. "I was too careless for not being able to detect the mole among the new recruits!"
Recently their was an incident in the CenterCity, a few civilians got injured from a spy, who among the recruits, tried to escape the territory of RedBloodMoon, with an intention of passing one's information to others. I don't exactly know what he took from us, but Michael said that he was caught having an conversation with someone suspicious, and when Michael confronted him he started running away.
A talented mole he is, but being too far from the border greatly increased his disadvantage of escaping. He was immediately thrown into the tenebrous walls of Maria.
"Is he dead?" He asks.
I lifted my head, not sure if it was the right thing to do, i still did it. I thought that if i see his eyes, i might be able to really read whats going on his mind of the moment. As if everything went slow, my heart beat rose when my eyes came contact into his. "No."
My eyes widened.
I always knew that AlphaKing was a ruthless ruler of the whole werewolves species, but never once i was scared at his presence until now.
His aura was too menacing and too dangerous for me to handle that my elbows forgot to harden and my face met with the cold ground.
My body was refusing to get up. My fear was taking over me.
"Then kill him, but slowly." He smirks.
I gulped. Stopping my other hand from shaking i placed the other one on top of it. My cheeks were still sore from the blow he did earlier but my fear can't be compared to that.
I unexpectedly remembered the day when the 2nd great pack war occurred, a memory flashed to my mind.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!!" The young alpha king roared while he held his loved ones in his arms, his outrage showing from his eyes.
What was that?
What did i just see? I held onto my eyes with grieve, feeling the despair and sadness from him.
"Z-Zyrus.. can i use your library? Your guards kept telling i can't go in because you said no one but you can enter." A woman suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
My head spun at her direction, we stared at each other in sync, she suddenly realized the situation i was in, seeing my sore cheek and my position as i kneeled behind the AlphaKing's back.
She looked scared, taking a step back.
This woman, i heard that she's been brought here several days ago by the Elder's command, but there's no way the AlphaKing would approve of this engagement!
Even so..
I looked at her carefully, no one can argue that this child is more gentle and kind than Christal.
The AlphaKing glared at her.
"I'm sorry! It's just that i want to read something in your library and my late aunt told me it could only be found in the library of RedBloodMoon!" She says diverting her gaze away from him, raising her hand to hold her neck in fear as if trying to remember something haunting.
Wait. Are those strangle marks on her neck?
"So?"
The girl's head rose up, as if she realized that the AlphaKing saw through her pityful behaviour but didn't acknowledge it with giving the favor.
"B-But.. i'm your f-fiance."
He turns his back on her. "No one goes in my library. Do i have to repeat myself?"
She bows in forgiveness before leaving us once again, the tension worsened because of her! I might really die at this rate! I sighed.
"Get out of my sight." He glared down at me. "Repeat this mistake one more time and heads will be rolling before you."
"Yes AlphaKing." I replied with the composure i have left.
"Now." He traces of, as if his anger suddenly vanished in thin air. "Shall we get ready for the Royal Ball?"
Royal Ball?
CHRISTAL's POV
"What is this bitch doing in our territory huh nephew?!" The red-haired woman points suspicious remarks towards me. "How can you let this! This! THING here?!"
I rolled my eyes. "Move i don't have time for your bullshit right now."
I'm literally tired, i wanna meet with my temporary bed.
"What!" Her jaw drops from the sudden attitude i gave towards her.
Serves her right.
"You know each other?" Herus asks.
"She's the bitch who stole Gandiva!" She desperately tells him, but Herus's attitude didn't falter or whatsoever,
"Apple." Herus growls lowly towards her, making her look at me in an ill-manner way before taking off with her friends.
She leaves just like that? How boring.
"You." He stares at me. "You really stick to trouble like superglue huh?"
"Yeah he's beside me right now." I smiled at him, in a bogus manner.
He sighs. "Annoying as ever." Putting his hand on his forehead.
"Whatever, so what do we do now? And where will i stay? Make sure it's not inside that pack house because i don't wanna get eaten by that red hair while i'm asleep."
"Go beyond further the pack house, but not outside the border, i'll get someone to escort you to a house near here. I have to go, i need to take care of some matters."
"What?! You're leaving me here??"
"Don't cause trouble." He warns me with a finger.
I slap away his puny finger. "OH! I'm sorry i always automatically slap an idiot's finger when its pointed towards me." Faking innocence.
He stares at me blankly.
"What no reaction? How boring." I pout, i can't really be bored because i might think of him again. "Stop staring! I'm gonna poke your eyeballs out!" I said trying to slap his face while he avoided it.
He stops my hands from moving, gripping my wrists well enough. "Listen, stay here and don't cause trouble understand? I'll be gone for a while."
I forcefully push him back. "Whatever do what you want." I said and left.
