Alessia"Ariella?""How did you know her?" He asked in a cold and dark tone. Dark veins popped and spread through his face. He stared at me with an evil gaze. I could feel his gaze boring holes into my heart. He glared at me coldly, and I swallowed hard.Why did he change suddenly after he heard her name? Who was she to her?""I don't know her. She's not related to me in any way…" I quickly said, trying to ease the tension that entangled the room with the dark and suffocating auras that exuded from his body. "Don't lie to me. How do you know her? Where is she? Have you found her?" He asked and screamed out in an animalistic tone. I staggered backward and fell on my butt. I whined in pain, bit on my lower lips, and crawled backward as he strode toward me with an angry look on his face. "Where is she? Where is Ariella?" He screamed out like a psychopath. He seemed angry and cold. He wasn't ready to listen to me. It seemed Ariella was someone who'd broken his heart or something beca
AlessiaHuh?I turned to him with a confused look on my face, trying to mask my expression which he must have already read through. He stared at me emotionlessly with a cold and murderous gaze. He wasn't ready for any joke or child play. "I made it specially for you so I don't think it's appropriate to drink with you," I said and smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "Are you sure you don't want to drink with me because you made the coffee especially for me?" He asked as he caressed the mug with a cold look on his face. I nodded my head quickly and said in a cold tone. "Yeah. Or do you have a problem with that? If you don't want it, I can take it away."I approached him and reached out to the mug that was in his left hand. He moved his hand sideways, and I missed. He glared at me with a cold look on his face. "Not so fast. Why are you in a hurry? Are you scared that you're not safe?" He asked and giggled. I couldn't afford to drink the coffee because I knew how s
AlessiaI whined in pain as I lay on the wet floor of the dungeon. I stood up from the floor, unable to sleep on it because my body was filled with bruises and blood. My head banged with pain, and my entire body burned with excruciating pain. Every part of my body was filled with bruises. I wish I could do something about my miserable life. I shook my head with a sigh as I stared at my stomach which grumbled loudly. I haven't eaten anything or drunk anything after I was caught and brought to this dungeon. I have stayed in the dungeon for as long as I can remember. I wasn't allowed to leave the dungeon like the other prisoners, who had the privilege to exercise in the dungeon field. I knew I was going to die of hunger and thirst if they refused to kill me. They have been coming regularly to torture me. I looked up and listened to the discussion that the guards on duty were having outside my dungeon. "That girl has been in that dungeon for the past seven days and she hasn't died de
LennoxWhat!I exclaimed and stared at her in disbelief when I heard her last statement. The Beta of the pack? That was impossible. How could she ask for such a prestigious and important post in the pack? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I clenched my fist with an angry look on my face. "How dare you ask for such an important post?" I asked and my voice trembled in anger. "Please take care, Alpha," two guards and Gideon rushed toward me after I coughed out, unable to soothe the anger that surged through my veins. I glared at them with a cold look on my face. "Stay away. I'm fine," I said even though I wasn't. I knew I was going to die if I didn't get the antidote as soon as possible. I hated to be weak or vulnerable, it made me look useless and powerless. "What do you say?" She asked in a cold tone. "I hope you aren't relying on your inner wolf power. In the next five hours, your wolf would have a heart attack and die, then you'll suffer miserably before dying,"
Alessia"Please don't take me away. The antidote is real. Please be patient. You'll be fine," I pleaded desperately after hearing his declaration. I was going to be thrown into the dungeon that was filled with evil enchanted bears. The enchanted bears were known for their evil and ruthlessness. And they were bloodthirsty animals. There was no way I would be able to survive if I was taken to that dungeon. I knew I was going to die for real but I didn't want that to happen. There were a lot of things that I was yet to achieve so I didn't think I was ready to die. I was yet to make the brutal comeback that I promised them after they broke my heart. He stared at me blankly, not ready to listen to my pleas. He must have believed that I poisoned him again. I wished he could believe me but he was blinded by anger and vengeance. I hoped he didn't regret his action later. I didn't want to die but I knew I was going to die if I was taken to that dungeon. I pushed the guards away, rushed int
LennoxWhat's happening to me? I asked myself with a confused look on my face as I felt another surge of energy flow through my veins, renewing the energy and strength that I'd lost. I screamed out in pain as my bone cracked and my stomach burned with excruciating pain. I placed my hand on my stomach and clutched it tightly until the pain subdued and died down like nothing ever happened. I staggered back to my feet and held my stomach. Surprisingly, I didn't feel any pain in my abdomen. It seemed the poison had been erased from my stomach, and that meant only one thing, what Alessia did was right. She didn't poison me. My heart skipped in fear as these thoughts crossed my mind. "Gideon," I called in a cold and fierce tone. The door pulled open with a creak sound and Gideon rushed into the room. "What's wrong, Alpha?" He asked worriedly. "Your body… the poison?""Yeah. I'm fine. It has been erased by that antidote," I said, and he stared at me with a surprised look. He was unable
Alessia"The powder you made for me worked effectively. I love it. How did you make it?" Alpha Lennox asked as he stood up from the bed in a red robe. "That's my little secret. You don't need to know," I said and stood up from the couch. "I'll take my leave," I muttered and bowed my head, heading to the door when I heard a voice from behind. "Where are you going?" He asked in a cold tone, and I turned to him. "I'm leaving," I arched my eyebrows and replied to him casually. "How would you leave without doing the work you're required to do?" He asked, and I stared at him with a confused look. What did he mean by that? I was done with the paperwork he asked me to do, right?After only two days working as the Beta, he had been giving me a lot of jobs and paperwork for me to execute and work on. He made sure I made no mistake. "What work? I thought I was done with the job, right?" I asked, and he shook his head in response. My heart skipped a million beats after he winked and smiled
Alessia Crime? "What have I done?" I asked with a confused look on my face, and he looked away. "That question is not for me to answer. You'll find out when you get to the Alpha's throne room," he said, and I gulped down into nothing. Somehow, I was scared despite not knowing what I'd done. I didn't want to be framed like the other time that I was thrown into a dungeon where I was almost killed by enchanted bears but fortunately, I got saved by my blood that strangely turned into a red pearl. This time, I might not be able to be saved so I was scared and concerned. "You should be on your way by now," he said in a cold tone, bringing me out of my world of thought that I didn't know I was drowned in. "Fine," I said and followed the path that he took to get to Lennox's office. Getting to his house, I took a deep breath and hesitated to knock on the door. I didn't know if I wanted to meet him or not. Even though I knew I shouldn't be scared of him as his Beta, I couldn't hel
