hapter 31

I slept off with a broken heart, feeling weak and exhausted that I couldn’t even stand, even after knowing Selene had warned me it gets dangerous to stay outside the gate at night, especially when I was an unwanted visitor.

There was nothing I could do because, at that point, I was tired of life. I regretted every step I had taken since I met Diana. She actually ruined my life.

I was lucky to have a gift from the goddess as a mate. I had a woman who would uphold my pack and make us the most powerful, but I rejected her brutally for a demon, and now my mother is gone. Killed in front of me.

What woke me up was a slap, so hard and deafening that my brain went blank at first, and my vision blurred as I sprang up, s t a g g e r i n g.

“What are you doing here?” The scary voice came in, leaving me trembling immediately as I looked up at him with heavy breaths. His tone was far from friendly. It was deadly instead, brimming with venom and pure hatred, like I had done the worst of things to him.

The Lycan king stood tall, glaring at me with fists on both sides.

“What are you doing here? B a s t a r d!” He fumed again, impatiently. He was really waiting for an answer when I had none, and my brain was even empty to find out what answer I should give him because I was thinking it was a rhetorical question.

“I was about to….leave….I just slept off.” I finally found my voice, swallowing hard.

“What brought you here in the first place? Who did you come to meet?” He retorted, and I took a deep breath, looking into his eyes for the first time, and all my courage sapped out as I saw the danger and viciousness in them.

“Please, calm down. I am leaving now. I am sorry.” I apologized immediately, not daring to tell him I came to see Selene. It would make him angrier, I know.

“Your name is Torian, right?” He asked, walking closer with heavy steps that made my heart accelerate and thumped. aggressively.

“Yes, good night.” I breathed and turned to take my heels when he sped forward like the wind, and in the next minute he was in front of me, blocking my path.

“No one cares to walk away from me. What gives you the guts to do that in my own land? Are you mad? Besides, Selene told you to leave since you came; what still kept you? Were you waiting for her to come out so you would harm her had always done?” He seethed, his face frowning.

“Please, I have no intention, and it was a mistake that I stayed back. Please allow me to leave.” I was literally begging. My heart was burdened. I hate how my life stinks, and at that point, I really had no strength to live on.

Diana is out there forcing her way into my pack to destroy me and my people. My mate is here with another man as her mate and has completely moved away from me. She doesn’t even recognize my existence and won’t mind if I die.

“She told you to leave, yet you stayed back. You are curious to know what she meant when she told you it gets dangerous staying outside my gate at night, right?” He said it with a cold chuckle as he sized me up with his eyes.

“No, you’re wrong. I…”

“You shouldn’t be scared. You’re an alpha that has grown wings to pester my wife; I will give you the deal you signed for.” He said, and in the next second, before I could see it coming, his heavy punch landed on my face, forcing me to the ground with a loud thud, my face hurting like it was struck by a fast train.

For minutes, I felt numbed and couldn’t feel any part of my face.

Get up and fight, bro. Whoever wins goes in and has her since you decide to return out of the blue moon after all you did to her. You actually wanted her dead. If your plans had worked well, she would have rotted. Get up and fight me,

mo t h e r f u c k e r!” He snarled, and I was just shaking my head, my lips bleeding and hurting so bad that it was hard for me to

talk.

He landed a heavy kick with his heavy boot right at my face when I least expected it, so I didn’t shield my face. The hit was on both my left eye and lips, pushing my head hard to the ground.

“Please, me I groaned, using my hands to cover my face and balling myself together, frightened of his strike.

“Is this how Asparelphas act? Like babies! You should be courageous, domineering, and exude a powerful aura. You should allow anyone to bully you, even if it means dying. Why are you acting like a pup, fool?” He scorned, and I looked up at him with my b l o o d y face, feeling the burden in my heart.

“I need help. Even if I were the sacrificial lamb, even if I were killed, I don’t mind. I had lost the person most precious to me, my mother, so I am ready to die, but my people’s lives are at stake. They are the ones I care for and need their protection. They don’t deserve to suffer for my mistake.” I pleaded with tears in my eyes, rubbing both of my palms in emphasis.

His eyes were still mean and unfriendly. My words don’t seem to be entering his cars, or rather, he wasn’t understanding the real meaning of what I was saying.

“I will allow you to go, but without an arm. Yes. That is the perfect punishment for all you did to my mate!” He rasped, walking closer to me.

“Will that make you prevent that demonic Diana from penetrating and enslaving my people? If yes, take my life; I don’t mind. I just want your promise to protect my pack members.” I begged profusely while on my knees.

“I won’t do that. I even want to see them all suffer, so don’t ask me for work, b a t a r d.” He laughed sarcastically and was about to kick me in the face again before a voice stopped him. It was obvious that this was the only voice that could prevent him from doing whatever he had in mind to do.

“Just let him go; I don’t want to see his face any longer.” Selene’s soft tone broke in, so smooth and heartwarming. Her voice made tears fall from my eyes, and when I looked up and saw her, I saw my world, my dream, and everything I desired in a woman, but it came with a gutwrenching pain in the core of my heart.

She was pregnant. I could see the lump on her stomach. This wasn’t the Selene I met and rejected; this woman was now nothing different from an angel-so beautiful, s e x y, and mature. A spec for almost every man, and remembering how innocent and kindhearted she was really made me sadder at the reality that she wasn’t mine.

She can never be mine.

“I planned to cut off his left arm and offer it to you. That same arm, he slit the wrist just to make his rejection of you more brutal and painful.” Lucian said as he faced her entirely, and I could swear I saw him smile. His lips actually widened, and those white teeth gleamed.

Lucian was someone I had never seen smile at anyone before, but he just did it effortlessly. I needed nothing else; there were no more doubts that my mate was gone from me. They are in love now and are expecting a baby.

“No, no, no, I just want him out of here. He disgusts me.” Selene shrugged, smiling at him and totally ignoring me. She didn’t spare me a single glance at least, her whole focus on Lucian.

Okay, baby… I will get him kicked out.”

‘Selene, please help me and your father. We are going to be killed very soon. We will die off, and the packs will be infiltrated by demons, who will in turn make our people s l a v e s. They….”

I don’t have any business with you guys. I don’t know you or the man you call my father, nor do I know who the pack nembers are you’re talking about. The day I was banished was the last day I seize to exist among you all, so stop the noise

75%

and get out.” She seethed and actually looked at me, but for just a few seconds before turning back to Lucian, who held her. close to himself.

“Selene, we are very sorry. I don’t know how to…”

A bang landed on my head at that moment, and I felt flat on the floor.

“She said stop the noise and get out, fool!” This was the only thing I could hear in the distance before everything blacked out.

The pain of whatever was hit on me was totally unbearable, and the pain was overwhelming. I couldn’t withstand it. Someone had hit me with a rod from behind my head.

Everything blacked out, with no hope. It was totally useless for me to come here, as I had gotten nothing but pain and torture, yet it wasn’t enough sacrifice to get Selene to pity us and make the Lycans hold back Diana for the moment while we all planned on how to destroy her.

I was knocked out and would be taken away, back to my pack, with no help from Selene. I was still going to get killed, followed by her father.

She doesn’t care, actually. Her heart had turned cold. She wasn’t that little girl who was being played around because of her soft heart. Now she knows how to repay everyone with what they deserve.

To be very honest, we deserve everything she was dishing out to us, as we were all wicked and evil to the poor girl. Everybody in her pack forgot she was the princess; we all suddenly began to treat her like a s l a v e and even claimed she was a child with no father.

None of us knew she was going to be our savior from death and eternal s l a v e r y. No one knew she had that gift to bring hope to us again. Maybe if we had known? Now I think it might just be too late-too late to draw back the hands of time and make right our wrong.

Like I said earlier, it was actually over. All hope is lost. We have lost our treasure, the gift from the goddess.
