William
I am fuming just looking at the face of Alpha Killian. So this is the father of my mate, the one who has been maltreating and abusing her for I don’t know when. I just know that I have to know all the details, the nitty gritty of it so I could punish him accordingly.
I’ll make sure it will be severe, one that he will wish for death but he will not be given that.
He deserves nothing but punishment.
“Alpha prince,” he bowed at me. “My apologies for ruining your evening banquet with us. I am sorry that you have to see one of our slaves in the dungeon and make a hassle out of your busy schedule in doing your responsibilities. I’ll make sure nothing like this will ever happen again.”
“Slave...” my face darkened from looking out of the window. “So she is your slave?”
I clenched my jaw and sighed inwardly. I don’t know when I can hold this rage inside me. I postponed my plan of healing Alana for a moment because she is still wary of me at the moment. I don’t want to aggravate her even further.
What she needs is a gentle hand and I swear that I will be that one for her. That’s why I planned on healing her when she’s asleep. And aside from that, I’m dying inside to see her face that I did not get a glimpse for.
“Yes alpha prince. She is our slave who disturbed your peace in your stay here and made a miserable trail in your royal path. This will not ever happen again. I will make sure that she will be punished accordingly. My request to our high alpha prince is that I hope that this will not reach the alpha king.”
I released my clenched jaw and massaged my temple. How can a father do this to his own daughter? What kind of evil werewolf is he?
Not containing my vile expression anymore, I turned to face him while I kept my hands inside my pockets because I am sure that if I left on my sides, I could get any weapon in the room and split his head open in an instant.
“Oh I’ll make sure it will reach the alpha king just not in a way that you expect.”
My eyes are throwing dagger flames at him but they are all bowing their heads down so they can’t see my rage.
Killian fidgeted but kept his eyes down. “What do you mean, alpha prince?”
I shook my head and sighed again. “Why are you acting innocent all of a sudden? You know what you have done. You know what you did to the poor girl!” My voice bellowed in the stillness of the dawn. “Do not tell me you don’t when I saw the innumerable cuts, scars, and injuries on her body! You abused her like she is an animal!”
Killian trembled before me, unable to say anything before my killer aura.
“I heard she is your daughter but the news I received in the palace when I asked for a background knowledge about your pack is that your other daughter died. Why did you lie? Why did you have to abuse her?!”
At that point, I already took out my silver whip ready to make him experience the same thing that Alana went through.
Killian groveled into the ground and kissed my shoes in desperation. “Please alpha prince, do not say her name. You will be unlucky even if you just mention her name.”
“What did you say? Alana is a beautiful name. It suits her.” I scoffed. He is more concerned about me saying his daughter’s name than the things he did to her? “Answer my question! Why did you have to beat her like an animal when she is your own daughter?!”
I let out the first whip tearing his clothing and a bit of his skin. The alpha did not move and just received more of my whips scathing his flesh as his blood dripped out of it. The guards and Lucas can only look unable to do anything as I am just exercising my right of judgment and punishment.
But that is just a fraction of what he did to my mate. He will see. I will torture him now.
“Alpha prince,” Lucas came into my side when I took out my knife from my boots. “Please relax. We are on a peace treaty and you are visiting the pack who is one of your father’s loyal supporters. Stop this,” he pleaded.
I only relaxed for a bit but then my blood rose again when I saw him lift his face to me.
“Can I humbly ask where she is now, alpha prince?”
“She’s in my room recuperating from the evidence of abuse she’s suffered for years in your hands.” I walked up to him looking down at his state reminding him how high up I am compared to him and he dared to do this to my own mate, the future queen luna of the domain.
“No! Dad!” Sophia shouted and ran to his father on the ground and hugged him. “Alpha prince, what my father did to Alana is justified. Please hear him first before you punish him. Dad please, tell the alpha prince the truth.”
My blood boiled seeing her because I remembered that she was the one who told me that Alana had died. How dare she even think that Alana is dead?!
“Someone who is not from his blood lineage does not have a say on this,” I said acidly.
That’s the time when Killian became overprotective of her. He hugged Sophia back and that made me feel hurt for Alana. Why is her own father being more protective over someone that is not of his own blood?
“Sophia is my daughter, alpha prince and she’s telling the truth. I have the right to do anything against Alana because she is the reminder of the sins of my wife.”
I paused, not totally getting what he meant.
“What are you talking about?” I asked him again. He better give me a brief answer this time or else he’ll say goodbye to his hands.
“My former wife cheated and Alana is the fruit of that infidelity!”
