"How dare you cause a scandal and create more trouble?!"
Alpha Roland just arrived at the Blackthorne pack, right before a day Xaden did. The first thing he did, of course, was to confront his daughter.
The report that he received about the reason for her confinent was ridiculous, but as silly as it sounded, his own daughter just confird it.
"Clear out the area and don't let anyone co closer to the bedroom," Luna Karina instructed Sarah and Esther. She didn't want anyone to learn what happened here.
She also stepped out of the room because she couldn't handle watching Roland unleash his wrath, but before she closed the door behind her, Zuri's black eyes t hers. There was a strong disappointnt there. Understandably so.
This was not the first ti Zuri's mother chose to turn a blind eye to her suffering, but certainly, it wouldn't be the last. There was no surprise there.
anwhile, Alpha Roland was unleashing hell upon his own daughter.
"You are crazy! Disgraceful to your family! It is your mother's fault for not being able to teach you proper manners!" He raised his hand and was ready to slap Zuri, but this ti, she glowered back at him.
"I might be pregnant! Hit and I might lose that precious baby again!" Zuri emphasized the word 'precious baby' in a mocking tone.
Alpha Roland thought about that and lowered his hand, but he smashed a tea cup against the wall and it shattered into pieces on the floor, yet Zuri didn't flinch, even when a stray shard grazed her cheek.
Blood oozed from her small cut, but it healed almost imdiately.
She was not pregnant, but there was no need for her father to realize that.
"Do you realize that it could beco a nasty scandal?!" Alpha Roland faced his daughter again. "If you really got pregnant, the baby would be questioned! I thought you were smart enough to think it through!"
"I guess I am not that smart."
His hand twitched, a sign that he wanted to slap Zuri again, but he refrained himself from doing so. "Pull yourself together, this is not the right ti to be a brat."
Alpha Roland pulled a chair and sat down. It took him a while to compose himself, while Zuri was standing in front of him.
"Tell , what do you learn about Xaden's movents? Is there sothing suspicious?"
"Father, I have been under house arrest, how could I go around investigating?" Zuri then added. "There is nothing suspicious as far as I know." Her voice was sweet.
"Excuses!" Roland lashed out and Zuri knew it was a sign for her to keep quiet, as he was going to go on with his yapping.
This conversation was so much different from the one that she had with Khaos. She missed those long conversations with him. She missed being heard...
And as usual, Zuri put on a blank face. She trained her eyes on her father, but in actuality, she didn't see anything. She was too numb to be scared.
'Shout back! Why do you let him talk so much?'
'Cut his tongue and he couldn't talk anymore."
Zuri's claws elongated and Roland was too busy reeling with anger to realize that. And gradually, the voices in her head got louder than her father's barks.
"I ASKED YOU WHY YOU ARE IN THIS ROOM!!"
Roland stood up and this startled Zuri, as she missed his question and he had to repeat it four tis. "Separate bedrooms."
He was not happy to hear this. "Why?"
Zuri then told him everything that had happened, but unsurprisingly, her father sided with Xaden. Again. Of course, because he did the sa thing to her mother.
"You should be grateful that he wanted to teach you." He scoffed angrily. His face turned red. "If you, as a woman, couldn't satisfy your man in bed and couldn't even bear his children, what would be the use of you?"
"That's it. Fight back. Show him who you really are! He couldn't step on you all the ti!'
This could be a good sign or a bad sign, because Zuri started to follow the voices in her head, as she snapped at her father.
"River Creek pack's wealth ca from . I doubled the wealth of the pack and made it the richest pack in this kingdom. I am the mastermind behind your business deal." Zuri used the term that Khaos had used on her and she could feel the corners of her lips tugging upward. "And you say that I am a disappointnt, because I couldn't satisfy Xaden in bed?" She narrowed her eyes on her father. "Probably, he was the one, who couldn't satisfy , just like how you couldn't satisfy mother."
A harsh slap. A punch to the face and when Zuri fell to the ground, a harsh kick landed on her stomach. Great. If she had a miscarriage, he couldn't bla it on her.
Profanities flew out of Roland's mouth, but Zuri was not done yet. The past week was too peaceful, too serene and heartwarming, sothing really foreign to her.
But now this pain was sothing she was familiar with, a feeling that she could associate to, which also pushed her to provoke Roland further.
"You brought all of your harlots to the bed and made my mother watch your depravity." Zuri lifted her head, an eerie chuckle escaped her lips. "Without the money that you gave them, I doubt they even want to see you naked."
That was it, Zuri asked for it. Roland punched her, kicked her, while she was laughing maniacally. Every punch and kick only made her laugh even louder.
"You're crazy! I know you are crazy! You must be an evil spawn!"
"Imagine those won looking in disgust when they saw the wrinkly thing between your
legs."
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU CRAZY BITCH!"
The threat didn't work, because Zuri was still laughing hysterically. She was too numb to feel
the pain.
