THIRD PERSON’S POV
"Maverick," Valencia whispered, smiling softly as she still had a little consciousness left.
She extended her hand for the man to take, and the man’s gaze trembled.
He walked to her and picked her in his arms. He took her to the bed and was about to place her when he saw the wrinkled bed sheet and the blood on the sheets near the head side, on the red button they had installed, and the broken lamp.
The thought of what his woman had to go through in the anti when he was having a eting downstairs made him want to slap himself.
"Alpha Maverick, you can take Miss Valencia to another guest room," Prince Ethan said.
However, the man didn’t hear him.
Rather, Maverick’s mind linked his beta to co inside along with Dylan.
"Alpha–" Shadow wanted to ask what his alpha wanted, but the scene inside the room registered in his mind, and his gaze darkened.
Dylan, who was also inford that sothing happened, rushed to the room.
"Can I trust you to hold her?" Maverick asked, not moving his gaze away from his woman’s face.
She had multiple scratches on her hands and face that were the signs of how much she struggled, and he silently promised himself to make the man pay with 100 folds.
Dylan stepped forward and grabbed Valencia in his arms, but he couldn’t take her away as the girl had fisted her hand around Maverick’s shirt, probably to feel at ease.
Her whimpering, even in her subconsciousness, made Maverick tear the coat and shirt he was wearing so that she wouldn’t have to let go of the shirt at all.
He gently placed the shirt on her body, letting her relax in his scent before he looked at Alpha Tyler, who was still on the ground.
Dylan didn’t waste a second in bringing Valencia out and ordering his n to bring the flowers, which would imdiately put her at ease.
Shadow looked at his Luna, who had roughened up once again, and couldn’t help but bla himself for this. If he had dropped her inside the room and checked everything properly, nothing like this would’ve happened. It was all due to his incompetence.
"Alpha Maverick, you got to believe . It wasn’t . The royals had planned this. They wanted to harm Valencia. They had planned to add sothing to her food to make her dizzy so soone else would co and rape her. This way, they would dean her and —" Alpha Tyler couldn’t complete his sentence when Alpha Maverick grabbed his collar, forcing him to stand.
Maverick didn’t say anything.
He grabbed Tyler’s hair in his fist and pulled the man out of the room.
Prince Ethan’s pupils dilated as he saw Maverick acting irrationally for the second ti because of this woman. He knew what he was doing was against the laws as he publicly humiliated an alpha, but that didn’t stop him from continuing.
Maverick kept pulling the struggling man through the stairs, his cries for help and for Maverick to believe him, catching everyone’s attention.
Everyone looked towards the second-floor stairs, where they saw Alpha Maverick pulling Tyler all the way down.
Matilda, already frad by Dilabr, who said she wanted to harm the royal princess because she had found out about their plan to ruin Valencia, widened her eyes in shock.
"Alpha Tyler!" Matilda struggled against the hold of the royal guards as Dilbar continued her pitiful act.
Matilda couldn’t believe her eyes.
What was going on? Why did the secret they would use against the royal suddenly turn to them?
She shook her head. It wasn’t the ti to think about such things. It was the ti to act on it.
"Alpha Maverick, what are you doing? Leave him alone. He didn’t do anything. Why are you taking it on us when we are innocent? Just because you can’t go against the royal, you can’t bully the weak like this," Matilda said, and all the other alphas and Luna looked at her with a condescending look.
They caught her in the act of attacking the royal princess. How could she say they were innocent when they were anything but that?
"Alpha Maverick. The royals had arranged for the man—"
"What were you doing in the room?" Alpha Maverick told Tyler for the first ti since he walked inside the room and saw him scared.
"I... I wanted—" Tyler paused.
He had no explanation.
After he heard what the royals were planning, he told Matilda about the plan. The girl said they could use it against the royals to get them to work on it and get things done their way. Tyler also liked the plan.
Moreover, he hadn’t forgotten about the last humiliation he had gone through because of Alpha Tyler and how Valencia had tortured him; thus, after ensuring Matilda would threaten Dilbar, he had gone to Valencia’s room without informing Matilda about it.
He thought the royals had hired a man to take advantage of Valencia. Who could be better for doing such a thing while enjoying it than him? Besides, if it wasn’t like he would get caught, the royals must’ve taken all the precautionary asures to stop Alpha Maverick from going down until the work was done.
Rape Valencia and leave through the window without being caught. That was his plan. But who would’ve thought that the royals he was relying on would be the ones to hinder his plans?
Prince Ethan and Dilbar arranged everything, so why did the prince arrive inside the room to stop him?
Was there a change in plans? Did he change his mind? Everything turned upside down, and Tyler didn’t know how to explain it.
"You went there when you saw my woman’s condition wasn’t alright. You thought it might be because it was her heat ti again, and you wanted to take advantage of her. Am I right?" Alpha Maverick asked.
Alpha Tyler, who hadn’t even thought about Valencia’s heat phase, shook his head violently, rembering the ti Maverick had nearly broken his jaws and killed him because he had gone mad and wanted to bed Valencia.
"Alpha Maverick, there has to be a misunderstanding. I don’t know what happened either, but it was the prince and princess who made such horrible plans against your woman. He —" Matilda started, but before she could continue, Dilbar rose from her seat and slapped her hard across her face.
"You! How dare you point your filthy finger towards my brother? Everyone here knows that you hate Valencia and that Alpha Tyler has tried to hurt her. Not only you tried to kill when I found out about your plans, you let your man try to rape your sister. And now you are blaming the royalty? Are you even worthy?" Dilbar said.
Prince Ethan pressed his lips into a thin line and sighed.
He barely saved the day today. Judging from how Alpha Maverick reached the room shortly, it looked like he got to know Valencia was stressed. If he hadn’t reached there and stopped things before that, who would’ve believed them either? It would’ve undoubtedly beco a task to do so.
Now, they can bla Tyler and his woman and co out of it unscathed. Regarding how this plan failed, he can tell Dilbar that Alpha Ryler stopped their assigned man, and he knew sothing was wrong, so he interrupted.
With her naive personality, the girl could trust his reasoning.
"You are lying. After Prince Ethan left the hall after making a scene about Valencia’s pendant and you followed him, he slapped you and said you needed to focus on the plan. How can you–?" Alpha Tyler stopped talking when Valencia walked inside the hall, supported by Dylan.
Her eyes were barely open, but she wanted to witness the death of her torntors, and thus, she asked Dylan to bring her here.
"Valencia, you have to believe . I was there to ask you what happened to you because I heard them talking, and they wanted to do sothing to you. I know I have been wrong in the past, but trust this ti. I only—" Alpha Tyler tried to step closer to Valencia, but as soon as he did that, Maverick’s n stood before her, protecting her, making Tyler grit his teeth.
Maverick looked at the begging alpha before looking at Matilda. He rembered all the death threats Matilda had written to Valencia, all the ti his girl had beco sad because of them, the attack on the airport, Tyler’s conspiracy during her heat, and the fact that their pack was under investigation for being involved in the last scenario, too.
This much evidence was enough for him to — Maverick looked at Valencia, their gaze eting briefly.
He took a deep breath. His gaze fell back on her bandaged hand, and the sight of her palm almost cut in half and barely hanging on because of the bones and little tissues flashed before his eyes.
"Kill him," Valencia whispered.
Maverick’s pupils dilated, and it was all the indication he needed.
However, as he raised his hand, Valencia stopped him.
"I will kill him." She whispered again, her tearful eyes making the maverick understand her feelings imdiately.
