Chapter 20

Mitchell's POV...

I became so depressed and wondered if what I saw was actually real or just an illusion. If it was real, I think it's forbidden for the alpha to have sexual intercourse with anybody aside from his mate. And also, it's forbidden for him to sleep with anyone until he is mated. I became so sad and hopeless seeing him on top of a stranger, unknown to pack members. The more I looked into it, the more curious I was.

"Who could she be? Could she be his real mate?" I questioned myself then responded. I could remember the backstory of Ashir, the Alpha. I had once heard from my father and what I know about him right from his childhood that he is not a fan of ladies. I could recall when I first met him as a teen, he wouldn't let anyone come closer to him, let alone make friends with someone. Also, I learned that he grew up being a phobic, he's such a heartless jack who shares feelings with no one.

I was so surprised to see him on top of a woman sleeping on him. The memories of the position I met him in on the bed come to be my only thought and it gives me a lot of headache.

"Could she really be his mate?" I questioned myself then responded "No, that is impossible, I must make myself his mate and collect what's truly mine," I said to myself courageously and I walked out of the castle untraceable.

I made sure to eliminate the only person who may serve as a hook to get to me, which was the maid who led me out. I murdered her in cold blood and left her breathless beside a silent house. I ran out of Blood Claw's Peak and ran directly to Malachi to inform him of my experience.

I got to Malachi's house breathing so heavily and looking so concerned and I went straight away to his room without even knocking. I entered and saw him attending to some stuff.

"What's going on, why are you looking so horrific?" Malachi questioned.

"Sigh," I took a short breath then responded. My eyes looked pale and he could feel through my eyes how worried I was.

"I have done something so terrible you can't believe it" I responded spiritlessly.

Malachi came closer to me and he could figure out that I had done something terrible. "Don't be afraid dear, you just have to calm down and tell me everything that happened" Malachi responded.

I felt so worried and wondered how I would explain everything to him. The most annoying thing that makes my worries more arise is not telling him before going to the alpha's house.

"May I have a cup of water first?" I requested.

Malachi called one of his housemaids immediately and requested a cup of water. The maid returned with the water in a few minutes. I drank the water slowly and then cleared my throat to explain myself.

"It is so unbelievable, I didn't plan it this way. I went to meet Alpha Ashir this morning to take a look at him myself. But everything got complicated as I entered his room" I explained.

Malachi felt so impressed about my story without even listening to its end, he praised me and then asked questions to know more. "What happened? How did you get so lucky to enter his room?" Malachi asked surprisingly.

"I tried getting close to him but he's so heartless, I tried seducing him but he chased me away. I had to go so far to his room through the help of his maid, I had to be disguised like a maid" I responded.

Malachi felt so impressed he shook his head and then responded. "That's quite impressive, how does his room look? I'm beginning to get curious."

"His room looks quite beautiful and admirable, but I became so shocked seeing him on top of a stranger, I think she is a prisoner if I'm right. I quickly ran out of his room as I sighted him and I tried hard to hide my face. Currently, the alpha has been searching for me using his soldiers but I'm not so certain if they recognize me or not" I responded sadly.

"That's quite impossible, could the Alpha really do that to his prisoner?" Malachi questioned.

"Yes, I saw him with my own two eyes," I responded.

Malachi could feel how sincere I was and he could understand the serious case I have put myself in if the Alpha could identify me. I assured him that I left no traces of me and he promised to get everything under control even if the Alpha could identify me.

I thanked him and I became so exhilarated for having someone to rely on.

Some minutes later, I asked for permission to go back to my house.

"May I leave now? I need to go home now!" I said.

"Sure, you can go now just make sure to be careful" Malachi responded. I stood up immediately and thanked Malachi showing him some gratitude. Malachi gave me a horse and escorted me out of his chamber. I walked out gently and slowly out of his chamber.

"Be careful, my princess," Malachi said, waving his hand as I set out of his chamber.

I went out of his chamber slowly and thoughtfully, thinking about what to do next. I set out of his chamber thoughtfully and I left my mouth open as I sighted my maid. I saw my maid waiting for me at the gate. I wondered how long she's been waiting for me, I felt pity for her for putting her into my mysterious life.

She was so excited seeing me and she shouted excitedly as she sighted me, she ran to where I was standing to meet me.

"Where have you been, my princess?" the maid asked emotionally as she moved closer to me.

I became so confused, wondering why she acted so worried about not seeing me for just a day. I came down from my horse and moved closer to her, I gave her a cool hug and then responded. "I'm deeply sorry for keeping you so worried," I responded.

The maid looked so worried and I could feel that something was going on with her. "What happened?" I asked confusingly, wondering why she looked so worried.

"Don't you know, my princess?" The maid asked cautiously.

"No, what?" I questioned then continued "I know nothing, what's going on, please don't put me in darkness" I responded confusingly.

The maid brought out a poster of me with a caption of wanted. I felt so shocked and I was left with no idea of what to do next.

"Where did you get this from?" I questioned.

"I found this at the market squads, this poster has gone viral all through the pack and the soldiers have set out to look for you," the maid explained.

I became so lost and wondered what I could do next. I turned back to Malachi's house immediately to explain what happened to him and I informed my maid to go walk around the pack to gather more information about the Alpha's plan.
