Astrid POV
Tears kept falling freely from my eyes, as I paced in my room. I had took my time to dress, just to impress him, and he sent me away, just like that? My fear is finally coming through, my fear of many years, is finally happening.
I ruffled my hair crazily, and slumped on the bed, thinking of what to do. My mind wandered off to the strange girl, something keeps telling me that Octavia girl is not just an ordinary werewolf, something tells me that she has some connection with the Alpha, but I can’t seem to wrap my head around what it is. On a norms, Khalid would’ve killed her on the spot, for what she did, but he had her jailed instead. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking? I think I’m losing my mind already, I need to find a way around this whole shit. If it’s really what I’m thinking, I’m going to make sure that I get rid of her, she can’t take Khalid awsy from me, not now, and not forever. I’ve been by his side all my life, I’ve been there for him, in times of needs, I protected him on the battle field, I made sure I do everything I can, to see him happy, which has always included giving him my body, and someone from nowhere will think that they can take him away? Never!…
Author POV
Three Days Later
In the dark room, with a ray of sunlight, penetrating through the small window, which cannot even contain a bird, let alone a human. A man was laying on the bare floor, looking all dirty and weak, his clothes were torn into pieces, leaving him half naked, his messy hair, scattering over his face, as he looked so lifeless.
The lifeless figure, felt the presence of a dark and intimidating aura, as he cringed in fear, knowing who it was, it’s the devil himself, it’s the dangerous and fierce Alpha, it’s the most dangerous and monstrous man, that ever walked on the phase of earth, there’s other person, than Alpha Khalid. As much as he wanted to stand up and start running for his life, his body were too weak to carry him, and even if they could, where would he be running to, knowing the devil himself, has his eyes everywhere.
His whole body trembled weakly in fear, and starvation, as he raised his head slowly, to see the long legs, standing before him, and slowly, he forced himself to sit up on the floor, as he let all his weight on his waist, his face staring down weakly, all his body, hurting from the bruises all over his body. He know it’s another day for his endless punishment, he know nobody will save him from the devil, and now, he regret everything, he should’ve stayed in his own lane, he shouldn’t have let his desperation taken over him, he shouldn’t have let his hunger for power, get the best of him, thereby leading him to mess with the wrong man, but it’s all pointless now, he should’ve thought about all that, before messing with the devil, he should’ve imagined the consequence, before dinning with the devil, but he didn’t, and now, he has to take the whole consequence.
He raised his head slowly to look at the man, standing before him, as he felt the bone in his, making a cracking sound, sending a strong wave of pains, all over his body, but he didn’t stopped looking up. His gaze finally met with the devil’s, and expected, he has that dangerous and mocking smirk on his face.
“Ivan.” Came the devil’s voice, sending shivers down Ivan’s spine. He wished the devil could stop talking, as his dark aura, kept consuming him, but can he stop him? Of course nobody can.
Ivan let his head dropped weakly and lifelessly, as he stared down at the floor in regret. The torture he’s been through these whole few days that he’s been in the devil’s custody, were the worst days of his life, he wished and hoped he could just take his own life, inselread of going through all the pains, that he’s not even sure when it’s all going to end, but luck was never on his side. He prayed for death, but it seems that it’ll never come.
“How’re you doing today?” His demonic voice echoed in the prison, as he walked majestically around the lifeless man, sitting weakly on the ground.
“Kill me please.” Was all the lifeless man could say, but deep inside him, he knows he was only asking for the impossible, he knows he’ll have to die by all the torture, he knows that he hasn’t seen anything yet, he knows it was all the beginning of his torture, and there’s nothing that can ever change his mind.
Khalid stopped walking, and squat before him, before raising Ivan’s face with his finger, to meet his own gaze, as he looked intently and dangerously into his eyes, while Ivan just quivered in fear.
“Not now Ivan. My promise are not yet fulfilled, so, not too fast.” He smirked dangerously, before letting go off his face, as his head dropped weakly back to its position. Khalid stood up, and started hovering around him again, as he crossed his hands on his chest, not letting the dangerous smirk off his face, as he imagined in his head, what his next punishment would be like, he just couldn’t wait to hear him scream in pains again, he couldn’t wait to see those painful looks on his face.
“There’s nothing wrong in coming to say hi to a fellow Alpha, right?” He stopped walking, and grinned wickedly, which only lasted for seconds, before dissipating into his usual mood.
Ivan could only anticipate for the worst to happen, he just waited for what his punishment will look like, one thing he knows for sure, is that he’s going to live the rest of his day on earth, suffering.
He squatter behind him, and held his hair roughly, while the young lifeless man, hissed out in pains, but he dared not to move.
“How about I tell you that I’m going to set that thing between your legs, on fire today?” He whispered into his ear, as the man cringed in fear….
