Chapter 1 Punishment
"Kill him!" Alpha Almarjaf's stern voice echoed.
"You can't kill me, Alpha; I'm your wife. Why did you do such a terrible thing to me? What did I do wrong?" I said rebelliously.
I didn't expect my husband to favor his first love over me, his wife.
"Damn woman. Do you not realize your own mistakes? Are you so stupid that you don't realize what you did wrong?" Alpha Almarjaf? Asked while staring at Henary.
"No! Why would you trust that woman, just because she's your first love!" I shouted.
"I, Almarjaf, no longer consider Henary as my wife," Alpha Almarjaf said.
Those words made my heart ache.
"Was my mistake really that fatal? Until Alpha had the heart to kill me," I said in a low voice.
"I didn't do any of that. Please believe me," I said with a pleading look.
"I have all the evidence; you still don't want to admit it." Alpha Almarjaf was very angry because Henary still did not admit his mistake.
"Don't waste any more time; kill her quickly!" Growled Alpha Almarjaf.
I closed my eyes as the poisoned arrow pointed at me. I had resigned myself to the fact that this was the end of my life.
I wouldn't even be able to fight back; my strength was still at a low level.
"Why is all this unfair?" I muttered in a low voice.
The arrow fell; I didn't expect it because there was a man who saved my life. But who was that man?
"Who are you? How dare you save his life? Are you tired of living?" Alpha Almarjaf said emotionally.
"Are you Henary's mistress?" said Earl.
Earl was quite happy that a strange man had come to help Henary, which reinforced that Henary was indeed having an affair with another man.
Alpha Almarjaf would hate Henary even more. And he could quickly take Henary's place as Luna.
"Think of it that way," she replied, which made Alpha Almarjaf even angrier.
"Damn it!" Alpha Almarjaf immediately attacked the man using his power, but the man easily dodged.
With the power of his speed, he immediately untied Henary's body and took Henary away.
Alpha Almarjaf and his troops intended to chase after the stranger, but many thousands of poisoned arrows attacked them, making them fail to pursue the stranger.
Alpha Almarjaf was furious, his hands clenched into fists because his enemy was so much smarter that even he couldn't catch up with the man.
"Who exactly is Henary's mistress? He's not an ordinary person," Alpha Almarjaf muttered.
"You just relax; we can definitely catch Henary and his mistress!" said Earl.
Earl rubbed Alpha Almarjaf's back to calm him down.
"We have to catch them; they both have to die," Alpha Almarjaf said.
Earl was also surprised that the stranger was strong enough to save Henary, whereas he had expected Henary to get the death penalty as well as the stranger.
Now his life was a little uneasy, if Henary was still alive.
"My plan failed miserably. Before Henary returns, I should have become Luna here and married Alpha Almarjaf," Earl said in his heart.
Elsewhere
Henary was lying on the bed slowly, but Henary tried to sit up. She wanted to thank someone who had helped her.
"Thank you for helping me," I said.
"That's my duty," the man said.
The man suddenly removed the mask he was wearing. I was quite surprised, because that face turned out to be a mask, not the man's real face.
His real face was much more charming and very handsome.
The man smiled slightly; indeed, his handsomeness could not be denied. "I know if I'm handsome, there's no need to look at me like that."
My face flushed with embarrassment, I immediately turned my face away.
"No need to be shy," he said while sitting next to me.
"Sorry. I don't know you at all, but why do you want to help me?" I asked.
"I knew you were innocent, so I helped you," he replied.
"I'm really very grateful to you; if you weren't around, my life would probably be over." The man only replied with a small smile.
"What's your name? Looks like you're not from the pack led by Alpha Almarjaf; you're also very brave." I asked while worrying about the man.
"Surely Alpha Almarjaf will not remain silent and will try to find us; your life is also now unsafe because of me," I explained while bowing my head.
Who doesn't know Alpha Almarjaf? His ruthless and powerful nature earns him respect and fear from various circles.
"I'm just a traveler; you can call me Leondra. And I don't care about my life at all, because he may not be able to fight me," she replied casually.
I was quite amazed by Leondra's courage; she was just a traveler but seemed not to be afraid of Alpha Almarjaf. Does this man not know who Alpha Almarjaf is?
"I know who Almarjaf is; you don't have to worry about my safety. If you stay by my side, I will guarantee your safety."
I bulged my eyes; of course, I was surprised that Leondra knew what I had been thinking.
"You know what I'm thinking?" I asked in a nervous voice.
"It's a very easy thing for me to do," she replied in a dismissive tone.
I looked closely at Leondra, certain this man was no ordinary traveler.
Alpha Almarjaf, whom she thought was very powerful, could not necessarily know someone's thoughts, but this man could easily do so?
"No need to compare myself to your asshole husband. I and him are obviously very different," she said unhappily.
"Sorry," I said quietly while lowering my head.
"Don't repeat it; remember I'm far above him. You also don't have to think of him as your husband anymore," Leondra said.
"If he loved you, he wouldn't do this to you! No matter how big a mistake a wife makes, she doesn't deserve to be killed," she continued.
I did not immediately respond to Leondra's words; it was true that as long as she was Alpha Almarjaf's wife, she had received no love at all.
I always got his cold attitude from Alpha Almarjaf; I never even slept together.
"Even like that, he is still my husband. I'm not officially divorced from him yet."
Without Henary realizing it, Leondra's hands clenched into fists, as if she was holding back her emotions because Henary still loved that bastard.
