CHAPTER FIFTY-TWOHera's POVI'm still cowering and folding up in my chair in fear while screaming inaudible words as they all take their stance before me and watch. A guard brings a bundle of towels for them and they take one each to clean the stains of blood on their hands.When I notice that they're not doing anything to me, I try to stop shaking and manage to look at them but it seems like a lot of work due to the fear that rising inside me.I don't want to die and I don't want to lose Mark either. This seems harder than I thought it would be because I actually thought that they would be lenient on me but seeing what they just did to those men, I'm beginning to doubt if they'll even listen to me when I'm begging as they kill me slowly and painfully.I see guards dragging the bodies away and I can't help but wonder what they'll do with them. Would they bury them or burn them? They were criminals who tried to overthrow and kill the Alpha so of course, they won't be given the honor o

Alpha Hugh's POVI'm still pissed as hell and disappointed and then there's also the sinking feeling of being betrayed. All of these are because of Hera and I can't believe that I felt sorry when I pulled her hair back to make her speak. I just wanted to scare her and let her know that I would hurt her if I had to but deep inside, I can't bring myself to do any of that to her. That's how bad she's gotten into my system and made me so gullible for her. Looking at her alone as she cries and sniffs repeatedly, makes me feel so many things at the same time and it's just so hard to concentrate on one feeling at a time. It's confusing and I hate it.I notice how relaxed Hera now looks after we start listening to her and she tells the whole truth about everything and I can't help but wonder how much she loves this little brother of hers. I begin to fantasize about how he would probably look just like her with red hair and a cute small face and he could possibly have her fiery temper too. I

Hera's POVI'm still in the shower, enjoying the rush of the water against my skin as I scrub my skin and wash my hair when I hear loud continuous banging on the door to the bathroom. I quickly rinse my hair so I can open my eyes and head for the door to know what's wrong only to hear Krystal yell from the other side.“We do not have the whole day Hera so get your ass out of there now, or I'm getting to drag you out of there myself” she yells and I know she means what she just said. She would really drag me out if I'm done in the next minute.I quickly rinse all the soap off my body immediately then I grab the robe and I put it on before I exit the bathroom for the room where Krystal is standing and fuming with her hands crossed across her chest as she frowns at me.“I'm glad you took me seriously because I was ready to pull you out of there with your hair” she growls before she pushes the shirt and jeans onto the bed to me along with some underwear.“Put them on now” she orders and I

Krystal's POVI was already losing my temper but I was trying my hardest not to snap at Hera who kept apologizing to us on Luca's behalf. We made an appointment, and placed the time and location so why would he just decide to keep us waiting? I decide that I'm going to give him a piece of my mind when he arrives.“I'm really sorry, I'm sure he'll come soon” Hera apologizes again and I shake my head at her.“You don't have to be apologizing every minute, Hera, you're not the one who is keeping us waiting,” I tell her and she just nods before she goes back to admiring everything in the restaurant that we are.I decide to distract myself so I open up the blueprints and I display them on the table before I turn to Sebastian who's beside me and I gently poke him so he turns to me.“Hey, pick one,” I tell him while pointing at the two copies of blueprints in my front and he looks at them closely before he picks the one I made with the help of my computer.I frown at him and he looks confus

Hera's POVI open my eyes and I see that I'm in my room where I've been locked up for the past few days. The last thing I can remember is us returning from where we met Luca and then I slept off on our way back so that means I was brought in by someone and I can guess it's Alpha Hugh because I can smell his scent on some part of my body. I can slightly hear muffled sounds of people chattering and passing by from outside the room door so I guess it's morning already. I release a long sigh as I sit up in bed before I stretch my hands and I ruffle my hair to fully wake myself up before I stand up and I just pace around the room for a while.A part of me knows the door will be locked but I still want to try and open it to confirm my thoughts so I head for the door and I take the knob. I turn it but the door doesn't budge which means it was locked last night when I was brought in to sleep so I take my hand off before I return to the bed and I take a seat.It hurts to know that they still
