Chapter 10 Chapter 10) Bullying/ Terror.
‘Our- our mate is dead?’. Alec, Alejandro’s Lycan, finally said something.
He has been in shock the whole time.
That was why he was not able to say anything to Alejandro until now.
Feeling empty, Alejandro did not reply to Alec.
Rather, he turned to Mike. “Tell me exactly what happened”. He demanded. His voice has gotten weak. Too weak. And it was as if he had forced himself to say something.
Mike, already understanding the pain of losing one's mate, since he had lost his own mate two years back, was able to understand the kind of storm that must be going through Alejandro's heart.
He lowered his head and could not bear to look at Alejandro’s eyes. Ever since he became his Beta werewolf, this was the first time he saw him like this.
“I have been trying to find her since a month ago after you ordered me not to stop looking. But each time I got closer to finding her, she would always find a way to slip away with him”.
He sighed in defeat, before he continued to say, “Unfortunately, it was not the same thing last night. I found her at last. But, it was too late. She was gone”.
“And, he-. I saw him holding onto her in his arms. She must have left his side, and he equally found her late”.
“His eyes looked dead when I saw him. And before I could approach both of them, he smiled at me and stabbed his chest. Thus, dying”.
Mike finished saying, but he refused to lift his head.
He went as far as falling to his knees, as he waited for Alejandro to punish him.
As for Alejandro, his mind was lost.
He weakly went and knelt down before Tessie’s body.
He tried to cry, but it felt like his tears had run out. So, he just remained there, staring at her, unsure of what to say.
His eyes shifted to Damien, and the only emotion he felt towards him was anger. He wished he had not died, so that he would have been able to tear his limbs apart.
So that he could skin him alive.
So that he could break his bones and make him cry in anguish and regret ever running away with his beloved.
Ignoring Damien, he leaned forward, and after scooping Tessie in his arms, he rose up to his feet and began walking around the mansion like an unalive being.
Everyone who saw him quickly paid their respects to him, before they took off like someone who was being chased by something terrifying. But if one did look at it, Alejandro was terrifying.
Meanwhile, in one of the guest rooms, dark eyes from above saw everything that had happened.
It was Demira.
Everything that had taken place, she had watched them in silence even though she did not understand.
To her, it was none of her business.
Her main business was getting to know his weakness, and making him cease to exist in the world.
A knock on the door distracted her, so she stopped looking outside and turned in the direction of the door.
“Please, come in”. She said to the person.
Her voice was composed, and the look in her eyes had changed to something more nice and polite.
But, it was simply a fake.
Just a kind of formality.
The door opened, and two Omega werewolf servants and a higher ranking werewolf servant entered the room.
One of them, an Omega werewolf, was pushing a tray of food, while the other two were behind her.
As they got over to the bedside, the food was left there.
But instead of leaving after fulfilling their duties of serving the guest, they remained in the room with Demira and were glaring at her.
They were clearly showing off the hostility they had over her.
One of them… a higher ranking werewolf with short hair, sharp brows, small rounded nose, and thin lips. She wrapped her arms around her abdomen and sneered in disgust, before saying to Demira, “You are just a mere guest. Nothing special. I don't understand why we have to serve someone like you who is a waste to our mansion. After our Lycan King personally brought you to the mansion, I thought that you were something or someone special”.
She scoffed and looked down on Demira as she continued to say more hurtful words, “It has been a month and our majestic Lycan King has not visited you. After you woke up, I really thought that he was going to have pity on you and visit you”.
“But, I got my hopes high for nothing”.
“Oh well, did I forget? You are probably nothing to him. He has only one mate. A mate whom he loves so much and would never forget about no matter what”.
“Honestly, I can not stop blaming myself now. Seriously, I can not believe that my sisters and I have been taking good care of you, bathing you, and making sure that you look your best”.
“That is because we thought you were going to be our new Luna. Tsk. Recalling this makes our actions laughable".
She burst out laughing after saying this, and the two omega servants joined in and laughed at Demira also.
They even pointed fingers at her.
"Stop". The short haired, high ranking servant said, and both omegas stopped laughing. Afterward, the look in her eyes turned cold as she approached Demira.
As she stood in front of Demira, she grabbed her hair tightly.
"Without your pretty face, you are trash. How dare we think that the Lycan King would lower his pride and involve himself with someone like you?". She said, hoping to hurt Demira.
But Demira remained unmoved.
'You should kill them, Demira. How dare they insult you and look down on you? Do they have any idea who you are? Who do they think they are? Just kill them, exactly like you have killed every other wicked useless pest who dared to stand in your way’. Priscilla said, and if she could, she would do it herself and make them pay for their cockiness.
“Let go”. Demira said to the rude werewolf, who held onto her hair tightly.
For a second, the werewolf was taken aback after feeling a dangerous aura and sensation.
She felt goosebumps in her arms. ‘Is it her? Is she the cause of this?’. Her eyes were unsettled as she thought to herself.
But, she did not want to lose face in the presence of her juniors, so she held onto Demira's hair more tightly and refused to let go.
‘Why must they push me to the wall?’. Demira thought to herself, because she understood that she had not done anything wrong to them.
So, why did they keep on frustrating her intention of wanting to lie low? She did not appreciate trouble coming her way, but why were they persistently bringing one to her?
‘He is a monster, right? So I bet he wouldn't mind it if a lowlife servant was injured, right?’. She thought to herself, because she was aware that despite being weak, she still had the strength to deal with these flies.
Just when she was about to attack, a loud scream was heard outside the guest room, making everyone flinch, except her.
Right now, the rude werewolf was no longer holding Demira's hair. Not when she was busy looking in the direction of the exit door like a terrified beast.
She was thinking about the possible scares which must have brought about the scream, since there was no way the suspected werewolf would have screamed like that without a valid reason.
No, it was not just that. The reason why she was terrified was because, in the Lycan King's mansion, screaming like that might certainly be punishable by death.
So, why did the person dare do that despite the consequences?
Just then, the door was kicked open by Alejandro, who walked into the guest room.
The Omega servants, including the high hacking servant, gasped in shock and were at a loss for words. She quickly bowed her head before Alejandro, and so did the others, except Demira. Again.
‘What is he doing here?!’. The rude, high ranking servant, with the name, Ella, thought.
She was filled with fear because she thought that Alejandro had come to show everyone that he cared about Demira. But if this imagination of hers turned out to be true, didn't that mean she was in trouble?
Her mind was filled with terrifying thoughts and regrets, until she realized a big loophole. Something was amidst.
She clearly saw a lady in Alejandro's arms right now, or didn't she?
Who could that be?
She wondered, before her curiosity made her take a quick peek at the young lady's face. But she quickly regretted her action because the pale and almost unrecognizable face of the lady scared her half to death and caused her to scream.
By the time she realized her mistake, it was already too late.
And out of the blues, her eyes met with Alejandro's deadly eyes.
At this point, she wished that the ground would open up and swallow her.
She stared at the two omega servants who stood next to her, but none of them dared to lift their heads. Neither did they dare to stare at her. They left her alone to face the terror of Alejandro.
‘Backstabbers!’. She gritted her teeth as she thought to herself.
“Do you want to die?”.
She whimpered and shuddered in fright upon hearing what Alejandro said to her. She knew that his words weren't mere words. ‘I don't want to die!’. She panicked within her mind and fell to her knees at once, with her forehead hitting the ground several times in a row.
“Ple- please forgive me, Lycan King Alejandro”. She pleaded, but her words felt stuck in her throat.
Not only that. When she noticed a strong presence getting close to her, she understood that her life was over.
An emotionless Alejandro was walking towards her with the intention of silencing an insignificant fly like her.
Until…
Who would have thought that someone was going to stand in his way?
