ALPHA’S RAY’S POV
“Listen to me, Gina, I am not going to let you of that easily. In fact, I will never let go off you” I yelled as I walked into my room with her screaming out her lungs behind me and wanting to pull down the roof of my Castle.
“You are not going to do that, Ray, you are not allowed to do that” she screamed and came to stand in front of me.
Every day with her, every freaking day had been filled with fights. Series of never-ending fights. I am exhausted and tired of her, but I will not let go of her that easily if that is what she thinks.
She caused my relationship with Scarlet, if she hadn’t shown up and claimed to be my mate, then I would not have turned my back on Scarlet when she needed me the most. I was already thinking of making Scarlet mine before this bitch turned in her disgusting face and lured me into believing that she was my fated mate.
Now it is too late. Too late for me and must be too late for her too as there is no way I will agree to her request for freedom and allow her to jump into the arms of her new lover.
“See, Ray, you don’t have the right to keep me here forever. You have no right to restrict my movement. I am from Diamond Cut and you are not my alpha” she challenged menacingly.
“But you are my mate” a made a sinister smirk to taunt her.
She will remain under watch here for as long as I deem fit. She may not be useful to me, but she must not be useful to herself or another. I will stretch her and make her pay for her evils.
“I am not your mate, Ray” she screamed and grabbed me by my shirt. “Can’t you get it, dumb? I am not your mate and you never marked me. I am free to get another”
I yanked her off me. “It is your greed and wickedness that had gotten you into this. Mark my words, Gina, I will make you pay” I said.
“I will pay for nothing. Just free me, Ray, free me and let me go” she sat on the floor and burst into tears.
“You can cry all you want but know it that no one messes with an alpha and gets away with it,” I said. I moved closer to her and leaned towards her. “You messed with me big time, Gina, you showed up with the claim that I am your fated mate and you made up so many lies about scarlet. I was a fool to believe you…”
She immediately cuts in. “Yes a fool, that is what you are” she retorted.
I grabbed her hair in anger and began to pull at it furiously. She squirmed and whimpered in pain.
“See I was not like this before you came, Gina. All I asked of you was love. I wanted you to love me just as much as I love you even if it was just a tiny bit of it. But what do I get from you in return? You treated me as a fool, Gina, frolicking around with any available man” I let go of her. “I begged to mark you several times but you blatantly refused me. I did all I could for you but no, you were never satisfied”
“I have a fated mate, Ray” she pleaded.
“Sam, is that who you want to go back to?” I inquired.
“He rejected me and that is all thanks to you” she yelled.
“Not me. you came to me, remember?” I said.
“Oh my goodness, I came to get even with Scarlet. How would I have known that you were such a dickhead and would want to remain glued to me as if your life depended on it?” she retorted.
I have been a fool, I cursed deep within me. “You disgust me, Gina” I spat.
“I never intended to remain with you. I was going to go back to Sam once I was done with you but you know what?” she asked.
I flashed her a scornful look. She wasn’t deterred by my look but went on.
“Bad luck, that is what you are. You caused me my love. I hate you even more” she yelled.
“You look pathetic” I hissed, filled with deep hate.
“And you made it so” she retorted.
Sincerely, I was tired of having her here with me. I am tired of having to see her face but then she has to pay for her act of deceit.
“You want to leave, right?” I asked.
“Yes, far away from you” she replied.
“That is easy. That is if you are ready to pay the price” I said.
“I will do anything, absolutely anything to see myself far away from you” she replied.
“Very well” I chuckled. I love the level that I have reduced her to. There is no way I will let her off freely after discovering all that she did. I will pay her to pay for the terrible things that she did to Scarlet and for the joy she caused me.
“Just name your price and my man will pay you off,” she said with an air of pride.
I giggled this time, if only she knew what was coming for her, then she would flinch and beg at my feet because even money will not be able to save her from my fury.
“And how much do you think you can afford? How much will be worth the damage that you have caused me considering my position as the alpha? Think and tell me of a fair price, my lady” I asked.
She looked at me, not knowing my intention caused her to panic but she tried as much as she could to appear fearless.
“I did you no wrong. Just name the damn price and get me out of here” she retorted as she held out her head to me.
“I will, my lady” I responded and pulled away from her.
“I will be fair and name a fair price. It will be nothing and you should clear it off in no time. Now you do the calculations. How much does two years cost to an alpha? That is the total number of years you cost me excluding the extra months and days”
I looked at her and saw the fear that had registered in her eyes. Of course, even a pup knows what time means to an alpha let alone years.
I went on. “How much value does an alpha place on his luna? Okay, to be better couched, how much will an alpha accept for his luna to be taken away by another? And what is the price for lying to an alpha?” I asked, spelling each offense out one after the other.
Her eyes stared in terror. Everyone knows the answer to the last question. The price of lying to the alpha is death. She became suddenly quiet and could not say another word as her eyes begged for mercy.
“Oh no… no… no… no. I am no vampire and will definitely not ask for your blood. In my magnanimous nature, I listed just three offenses and intentionally decided to ignore the part of cheating and disobedience amongst many others. I don’t want to be petty. For each of the offences, I will place the price to be at ten years labour of an alpha. So, calculate what an alpha earns for his labour for ten years and multiply it by three” I said.
Her mouth was open this whole time and even her eyes could not afford to blink.
“Or, you put in ten years of your labour in my Packhouse three times which is thirty. You can also ask your man to come to help you out to bring it down to five years three times, which will be fifteen and in fifteen years, you both are out of this place” I gave her a sinister grin. She was yet to see the last of me.
“Of course, that would be fifteen years. Your man would gladly do that for you, I would have if I was the one and you know it” I said.
“No… no he won’t. He…” she stammered.
She got up and started to come close to me but I stopped her immediately. “Move no further, prisoner” I ordered.
“I… I am sorry, alpha, please I will remain your w… woman” she stammered.
I laughed hysterically and when I was filled, I said very quietly. “You are my prisoner, Gina, and your sentence has just begun”
