Jason’s growl was so loud that everyone in Jacinta’s family house shook in fear,
“You dare lie to me?” He barked at Susan. Susan was short of words to say, she just lied to an Alpha that her daughter was sick and at the same moment, her daughter accidentally walked in.
Everest (Jason’s wolf) was upset, he was thirsty for blood, because of fright, Jacinta couldn’t find the strength to run, even if she ran away, Jason would always be faster than she. Jason charged towards her, but her father blocked him from reaching to her. Angry Jason pushed Jacinta’s father in a rough manner, he slipped, fell and broke his arm.
“How dare you disobey me?” Jason, who was already in front of Jacinta, asked and tightly gripped her neck. Jacinta couldn’t utter a word because of how tight Jason’s grip on her neck was. She was choking, she was going winded. Jason’s blinded by anger, nails began to grow longer, and they pierced Jacinta’s skin.
“Leave my daughter alone, you’ll kill her!” Susan yelled, she ran to Jason and started hitting his back, so he would free Jacinta, but with his other hand, Jason pushed Susan, and she fell, hitting her butt hard on the floor.
Jacinta saw her life flash before her eyes, she looked at Jason and saw the intense fury written on his face. Gradually, she got more weak, life began to slip away from her.
“Jason! What are you doing? Do you want to kill her?” Jason heard a voice, and immediately he snapped out of his anger, turned to look at where the voice was coming from and instantly, he let go of Jacinta’s neck.

The castle was so quiet, like a graveyard, probably because of the guard that was killed earlier. Isabella felt bored at home, she decided to go to Susan’s place and apologize to her and her daughter. Isabella ordered some maids to prepare some beautiful gifts, which they did.
Jason left after killing that guard, so it seemed as though he went somewhere to cool off his anger. Isabella freshened up and set out to Susan’s house.
On getting to Susan’s house, she noticed the guards at the gate were visibly shaking in fright, although they tried hard to conceal it, it was still very visible. Isabella looked at them with questioning eyes. Why were they shaking like chickens? Isabella just shrugged and headed towards the entrance.
“Leave my daughter alone, you’ll kill her!” Isabella heard Susan yelling. Kill Jacinta? Who would dare to kill her? Definitely not on her watch!
Isabella charged inside, but to her surprise, it turned out to be Jason that was almost choking Jacinta to death. How could he? The one he did, she hadn’t even apologized to Jacinta’s family yet, and here he was doing another greater one. How could he hurt her like this?
“Jason! What are you doing? Do you want to kill her?” Isabella yelled at the top of her voice. Her son turned to look at her, and slowly he regained his sanity.
“Paaaaa!” Isabella walked up to her son and gave him a resounding slap.
Jason stared calmly at his mother after she slapped him; she was his weakness, she was the only one who could tame him, but no matter how much she tried to prevent him from making Jacinta serve her punishment, she won’t succeed.
Jason looked from Jacinta who sat on the floor and was coughing, to her father, to her mother and back to his mother.
“No one dares to defy my order and go scot-free, Jacinta must serve the punishment I gave her!” After saying that, Jason dragged Jacinta away with him, leaving his mother and Jacinta’s parents in awe.
*****
Jason walked with his grip tight on Jacinta’s hand, he was going to lock her up in the guard’s room personally. This time around, not even his mother’s tears and plea would stop him.
In no time, they were already at Jason’s castle, Jason entered the compound and continued dragging Jacinta who kept trying to pull him back, not minding the soldiers who still hadn’t woken up. The workers of the castle who had seen Jason dragging Jacinta looked at themselves in shock.
Jacinta was sobbing unending, she couldn’t believe she was finally going to end up sleeping at that place she had initially run away from.
Her parents couldn’t do anything to save her, she was doomed! She’ll become a laughingstock among people. How could Jason treat her this way? He knew that she wasn’t the type who could do stressful jobs like standing for hours and supervising those who were working, yet he went ahead to send her.
Finally, they got to the guard’s room, it was called the guard’s room because it stood separate from the guards’ quarter. It was a room used to isolate soldiers who had contacted transferable disease like smallpox. They were thrown there to prevent the sickness from spreading to other soldiers. Some soldiers died, while some lucky ones survived.
The two soldiers who were stationed to guard the room were surprised to see Alpha Jason dragging lady Jacinta in a rough manner towards them.
“Open that door right now!” Jason ordered, and the soldier who held the key to the door hastily opened it.
“You both are dismissed, from tonight I’ll be the one to guard this place,”
“But sir….” One of the two soldiers tried to argue, but just a look from Jason shut him up.
Jason roughly pushed Jacinta into the room and she fell down. He locked the room without any second thoughts.
Jacinta cried bitterly inside the guard’s room, this place looked scary to her. It was dusty and full of cobwebs, and there was no window attached to the building. If not for that maid, she wouldn’t have been in this situation.
Jacinta shook in fright as she sat in one corner of the room. She has heard stories about how soldiers with smallpox were isolated here. It felt like she was already contacting the smallpox just by sitting in the room.
Jason stood outside, ready to guard the room. If he allowed the guards to keep watch over the room, his mother would easily give an instruction and the soldiers would immediately let Jacinta go. He wanted to show Jacinta that even if she was close to his mother, if she dared disobey him, she will bear the consequences of doing that.
“Jason, release Jacinta at once.” Isabella yelled. Just as Jason had predicted, Isabella actually came to the guard’s room.
“She will not be released until she completes her sentence,” Jason boldly told Isabella, who in turn gasped in shock. Jason was really getting out of hand, she needed to try another method.
“If you don’t let her go, then be ready to throw me inside that room too,” Isabella threatened, hoping this would work on Jason.
Jason looked at his mother for some seconds, then he opened the door of the room and said,
“Fine, mum, you can join her inside the guard room.” Jason could see the shock visible on his mother’s face, he thought she wanted to be stubborn?
Isabella who thought Jason opened the room to bring Jacinta out because he wanted to release her, but he opened it and asked her to join Jacinta. Isabella fumed and stormed away in anger.
