Chapter 32 Mother? Father?

Book:Twenty Years In Bondage Published:2024-6-3

Alpha Khalid POV
Since she’s not going to talk, I decided to do my investigation myself. After locking her up in the detention room, making sure I set trap outside the room, knowing fully well that she’ll try to escape, I finally started with my investigations.
I sent my men to search everywhere, including the outskirt of the pack, where the Omegas lives, knowing fully well that she’s not a stranger. I don’t know how possible is this, ever since I’ve been into existence, I’ve never set my eyes on her.
After what seemed like forever, I was already getting impatient, when the door to my study burst opened, with guards, dragging a woman with them.
“What’s the meaning of this nonsense?” I thundered, as I sprang up on my feet. How dare they barge on on me like that!
“Forgive me your highness, but this is her mother.” They gave me the news I’ve been dying to hear, the news I’ve waited in anticipation for. I stared down at the woman, who look like she was going to die.
“Your highness please don’t hurt her…. please don’t kill my child.” She cried, as she rolled on the ground. Too bad, I love seeing tears…
Octavia POV
It’s been hours, since I’ve been in this dark god forsaken room, and there isn’t any sign of me, leaving anytime soon. I know it’s late out there, and mother must really be worried about me now. What have I gotten myself into now? How could I have let my stubbornness take over me? How could I have failed to listen to my parents?
Stretching my hands above my head tiredly, I managed to stand on my feet, before counting myself carefully to heaven knows where, as I stretched forth my hands, searching for the door, and soon, my hands were touching the wall. A strong wave of hope, washed through me, as I continued walking, till my hand touched what felt like a padlock, and I heaved a sigh of relief, as I felt my hope, waking up a little bit. At least, I’ll be able to get out of here.
Reaching out for the padlock, I touched it, and it wasn’t locked. I felt my stomach twitched in excitement, as I made to remove it and go out, but then, it dawned on me that something wasn’t right, they couldn’t have left the door unlocked for no reason, right? Who knows, maybe he set a trap outside for me, and I’ll get killed once I go out. Letting out a sigh, I let my hands fall freely from the padlock, and I leaned against the wall hopelessly, as tears came streaming down my cheeks. For how long will I have to be here? For how long will I have to stay here? I don’t even know where I am, I don’t know whether i’m still in our pack, or he took me somewhere else. What was I even expecting? He’s an heartless Alpha, I wonder why he still haven’t killed me even until now. I felt my hope of living, leaving me slowly, and I just couldn’t help, but cry. The thought of mother, father, mother Lia, and my only friend, Kai, rushed through my mind, as my heart tightened in pains. It hurts that I may never get to see them again, it hurts that I’m never gonna be with them again, and the thought of Kai, left me with nothing, but heartbreak. Why does this have to happen to me of all people? Why does this have to happen, just when I thought everything is fine?
The sound of the door rolling, brought me back to reality, and tilting my head to the direction of the door, I saw two hefty men, walked in. My heart skipped like a million times, as I stared at them, trying to see if I could hide, but it’s all pointless.
They matched towards me, and grabbed my hands, not saying a word to me, as they dragged me out of the dark room, while I followed them gently, not trying to protest. I have no strength left in me to do that, and even if I have, it’s pointless, doing it, knowing they wouldn’t listen. They’re gonna kill me anyways.
They kept dragging to God knows where, while I followed them, till we finally got to a beautiful door. The guards, standing in front of the door, opened it, and my mouth dropped opened, as I was welcomed with a very large room, with many people, gathered. I couldn’t help, but wondered what’s going on.
They took me in, and everything became clear to me, as I was welcomed with the devil himself, sitting on a large chair, adorned with gold, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that we were in the courtroom. The devil must’ve called a gathering because of me, I just pray mother and father don’t show up here, I don’t want them getting involved in this, I don’t want them getting hurt because of me. Once we got to the middle of the large room, they pushed me roughly on the ground, making me winced in pains, as I felt my knees hurts in the process. I kept staring at the ground, not raising my gaze to see what was happening. I felt a chain, tied to my hands from behind, and I just couldn’t help, but scoffed unbelievably. I mean, what’s the need of tying me down, knowing I can’t possibly outrun them here. These people are ridiculous.
Everywhere was silence, as the only I could feel, was the dark and intimidating aura, coming from the devil. Everyone seemed to be very scared of him, how could he be this dangerous?
After what seemed like forever, I heard the door opened, followed by footsteps, but I never bothered looking up to look at who walked in. There’s none of my business there, right?
I was forced to raised my gaze, as two people were made to knee beside me. Raising my head to look at the people, I froze on my knees, as I was welcomed with the shock of my life. Mother? Father?…
