Chapter 400: Everything The Alpha Desires We Give To Him
I can’t sleep. Emilia’s words ran through
like a poison in my blood but I knew she was right. Emilia never sugarcoated things even in the past. She would have told
about her family if it wasn’t about the law of coexistence years ago. She was that transparent.
Her words were a harsh truth I clearly understood, I was only ignoring it because part of
thinks that Dace is the sa man I have always known but I have been lying to myself because he is not, he’s a dark Alpha with an insatiable bloodlust, getting what he wants no matter what lengths he has to go through and I was a pawn in his ga.
It was laid out before
and yet I chose to remain blind, my heart keeps taking charge of my head and that damn organ still craves sothing I should have gotten rid of.
There was no use thinking too deeply about it because I knew this was the result of the mistake I made years ago coming back to haunt . It’s funny how much I have tried to bury it in and yet it slaps
point blank in the face like a wet towel.
What was this? A fucking twist in fate? Is fate so against
that it would let
go through this? A fucking nightmare and facing demons I tried to cast away, a hectic tornt and he didn’t even need to try, I’m always tornted, even in his presence, in this mansion, the familiar interior and exterior it’s like claw to my soul if I still had one.
"Are you lost?"
Caught off guard by the sudden voice I jumped facing who was responsible, just a random werelion.
Why am I even jumpy?
"No"
"It’s 2 a.m. and I’m not sure you should be walking the premises," he said. He’s tall and intimidating just like every werelion in this house but none of them could ever rival when it cos to Dace, he’s an ant compared to a mountain.
"Needed the air, is that against the rules?" I asked folding my arms and facing him fully, he wore a frown, almost like I was a foul sll before him.
"There are rules, especially for a vampire"
I didn’t miss his distaste when he said ’vampire’. Shit! I better not prolong this. I have recently only been near Dace, Singe, and Emilia, and even though I was their natural enemy it was safe to say this particular scent reeking off this werelion is hostile.
"I see, then I will go back to my room" I looked around briefly and the sense of familiarity was gone. Was I so lost in thought that I was in a part of a mansion I don’t know?
Splendid Emma, splendid!
"Mind escorting
back to my room?"
He smiled, the action so sudden and a complete contrast to the expression he had earlier and it caused a deep chill to run through .
"I don’t get why the Alpha hasn’t killed you yet, it makes whatever war he plans faster, much easier to get rid of the bloodsuckers"
I gulped.
"You have faith in your Alpha don’t you?"
He grinned and that crawling effect ca back on.
"Always, you have no idea" he began looking to the side and back to .
? I just tried to regulate my breathing and not panic unnecessarily.
"To the people outside they think of him as an unhinged Dark Alpha set on marking his path with the blood of his enemies. But what we do know is, he’s the first Alpha to give a shit about the lost cause of Rogues, he proved to us he was worthy and we have followed him ever since"
"That’s admirable," I said, but why do I feel uneasy? He hasn’t taken his gaze off
and it was unsettling.
"Everything the Alpha desires we give to him," he said like it was a recitation from an unbreakable bond. "He’s aggravated lately... been running the wild for the past week. I have lost count. And when he does that ans sothing is weighing on his mind" he chuckled but none of his words sounded funny. "Because of you" his smile instantly dropped and I sucked in breath.
"Your death, his war. Maybe you bewitched him to keep you alive but that can’t fool "
"I did not be-"
"Ha yes yes, Even the manipulator can’t tell she’s one"
This guy is sick!
I took a step back by instinct and he chuckled.
"And where did you think you would go? You think I am the only one who’s out for the blood of the Countess? Besides... " he nudges his head to my shoulder. "With that bite, you can’t do nothing"
"I will take my chances," I said more to myself than him, but judging from the unhinged smile on his lips I knew he heard .
I scooted and I didn’t even take two steps. I felt my body being yanked by a stronghold, a grab on my neck, and my back connected to the wall and knocked the breath out of .
"You have so nerves, vampire, you really think you can outrun a werelion or more a Rogue"
I smirked.
"Who said I wanna outrun you?"
He frowned at my words and I took that as my opening and knee him in the damn ball. HARD.
He growled crouching down and holding his jewels.
I spit so blood out of my mouth caused by the impact.
"Werelion and all, the jewels are always the jewels"
He growled so deeply that the bones in my body vibrated, he ca at
but I was able to dodge but not for long, I could not match his inhuman speed.
The air was knocked out of
again when he slamd
against the floor and climbed on top of
with his hands wrapped around my throat. I could feel his claws digging in my skin and I could sll my blood.
"You think you’re tough?!" he roared to my face. "Think again!"
He squeezed so hard, and I clawed on the steel of his hand with my nails, refusing to go down without a fight.
"I will crush your fucking neck like a twig!"
I’m gonna die! I can’t shake him off, I can’t use my magic! I was helpless, fighting a vulnerable fight against this brute on top of , squeezing the life out of .
Black dots coated my vision, my futile struggle ceased and my hands fell to my side, the last thing I saw was his smirk.
