Alpha Khalid POV
The Alpha sat on his throne, staring into space, as he waited for his prey arrival. His dark and intimidating aura, kept consuming the people, and they could tell that the devil was angry. They know better to compose themselves, if they don’t want to suffer the fate of death, not just death, but a painful and horrible one.
The door finally opened, and his guards dragged the girl in, while she just followed like a sheep, being directed by their master, and he just couldn’t help, but smirked. The thought of what he’s going to do to her crossed his mind, and his demon quivered in anger. As much as he wanted to know why his demon is so different to this girl, he just couldn’t decipher why. He was expecting his demon to struggle to take over him, and end her, but the case is so different, as he felt his demon, struggling to take control, not to hurt the girl, but to protect her. He now found himself, fighting with his demon, who seemed to be very angry.
He watched the girl keenly, as she was pushed to the ground, and as her wince came out, he felt his demon twitched in anger and hurt, but he didn’t bother listening to him. As much as he wanted to convince himself that his demon is just obsessed with her body, but deep inside him, he know it’s far from it. He accept the fact that the girl is really a beauty, but he’s finding it difficult that it should be enough reason to drive his demon to thw edge of anger like this.
His subjects waited patiently for him to talk, as the atmosphere was clouded with nothing, but his dark and intimidating aura, they couldn’t help, but quiver at his presence, as they all stared down at their shoes, no one dared to look at his face, as it holds nothing, but death. Looking into his eyes, is just as good as going on a suicide mission.
He sighed and closed his eyes briefly, trying so hard to calm his demon, but the more he tried, the more it seem to be angry at him. Taking a deep breath, he opened his dark eyes, maintaining that dangerous look as usual. He signaled his guards, as they went out and came back almost immediately, with two couples, and as they got to the middle of the courtroom, they pushed the couples down.
Octavia, who had been on her knees, with her gaze down, raised her gaze to look at the people, kneeling beside her, and her eyes widened at the sight before her. Her heart tightened in pains, as she felt her eyes became watery, she couldn’t help the tears, that slid down her cheeks, as many thoughts came rushing through her mind. Her fear was finally coming to pass…
Octavia POV
“Mother? Father?” I called almost in a whisper, as I stared at them. My heart hurt, as a drop of tears escaped mom’s eyes. Oh! What have I done? I have put them in a deep shit.
Silence clouded the atmosphere, as the only thing that could be heard, is that of my sniffing. The thought of him, going to kill my poor and innocent parents, is really unbearable. Is this how I’m going to lose my both parents before my very eyes? But then, it dawned on me that I’m not gonna be spared, he’s gonna kill me with them anyways.
“I’ll ask you this once, and you’ll have yourself to be blamed, if you dare to lie to me.” His cold voice came on, sending shivers down my spine. The tension in the atmosphere, made me realize that I wasn’t the only one, scared of the devil.
I glanced at mother and father, who were staring down at the floor, with their whole body trembling, fear written all over them. Of course they should be, knowing the kind of beast he is.
“Who is her parents?” His cold voice came on again after what seemed like forever of silence.
“We… we… we are her parents your highness.” Dad’s voice quivered, fear written all over him.
“Good…, so, how come I’ve never seen her all these while? Have you been hiding her?” He asked calmly, but with danger, smelling in his voice.
“Ye… yes.” Dad’s voice came on again.
The entire place became tensed again, with his dark aura, consuming everyone. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that his demon is angry, and I can imagine what will happen next. He’s never gonna spare me, not now, and not forever. According to what I heard, he never failed to punish anyone, who gets on his nerves, and to know the crime I committed is a grievous one, expecting to be spared, is as good as deceiving myself.
“For how long?” His calmed but thick voice, filled the entire place, sending goosebumps all over my body.
“For twenty years, your highness.” Dad answered quickly. I don’t blame him for answering him, even I will do the same thing, if I were in his shoes, considering how heartless this monster is, he never takes pity on anyone, he’s considered to be the highest ranking monstrous man in the whole world, from the look of things, I’m beginning to doubt if he’s not Lucifer himself.
He sprang up from his throne, and the next thing, I saw him squatting in front of me.
Oh moon goddess, I’m dead. How did he get here? Did he?… what am I even saying? Someone that can be this heartless, nothing is impossible for him, right? He’s an Alpha, so teleporting shouldn’t be a big deal to him, right?
Raising my gaze, I was met with a pair of pure golden eyes, staring dangerously at me, I know he was angry, and killing me, would be the only thing to calm him down, but can he please kill me alone, and not involve my parents? I got lost, staring into his eyes, wondering how he could be this handsome outside, but yet, dangerous inside. Even if his face holds so much anger, he still remains handsome. Just how did moon goddess created him?
“How do you want your death to be?” His cold and deep voice cut through my ear, jolting me out of my world of fantasy, as I froze on my spot…
