Chapter 11 Chapter 11) A mad man.
‘What is with this deadly aura? Does he plan on killing someone in my presence? He should do that outside’. Demira thought to herself after she stood in front of Ella and shielded her from Alejandro.
She was not exactly protecting Ella, but if anything, she did not want Alejandro hurting her because she had planned on hurting her herself.
What she had learned after being betrayed was that, whoever went against her, she wasn't going to be soft towards them anymore. Rather, she was going to make them pay.
‘Huh?’. Ella thought after she noticed and felt a safe presence standing in front of her.
When she lifted her head a little bit and saw that the person who stood in front of her was Demira, she was shocked out of her mind.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. ‘She- is she trying to protect me? Even after what I did to her?’. She thought and felt like crying.
She had no clue that Demira was such a kind hearted lady.
‘I am sorry! I should never have picked on you!’. She thought and bit her lower lips in regret. If she could, she would never have done what she had done.
But it was too late for her to regret it.
She couldn't change what had happened.
“Get out of my way”. Alejandro, with already darkened eyes, said to Demira, since he was hell-bent on making Ella suffer.
‘You should get out of his way, Demira. What are you planning on doing? I don't understand. Why are you trying to defend this bastard servant?’. Priscilla asked her and was pissed off.
‘What’. Demira was stunned upon hearing what Priscilla said to her. ‘What do you mean by that? Me? Defend her? Didn't you say I should make her pay? I am simply keeping her safe so that I can make her pay myself’. She explained.
‘It isn't worth it. Step down now. Don't be stubborn. This isn't the time for you to be stubborn. Just remain low like a shadow. Must I spell it out for you before you listen to me?’. Priscilla roared at her.
‘Okay’.
After a plain reply by Demira, she did as Priscilla had told her and moved out of the way.
‘Eh?’. Ella was taken aback the instant after Demira stepped out of the way. She was confused. Unfortunately, she wasn't given enough time to be confused because fear had taken over her body with Alejandro now standing in front of her.
“You disturbed my beloved. What are you going to do about that?”. He asked her.
His voice was something out of this world.
It was dark.
So dark that it felt like the room shook with terror.
“I- please forgive me, Lycan King Alejandro!!”. She pleaded after she stole a glance at Demira's face and was inwardly asking for her help. She was shivering from fear, and it seemed like her body was getting cold and numb.
Clearly ignoring Ella, Demira thought, ‘His beloved?’.
Yes. She had heard rumors about this before. About the Lycan King's beloved. About how he could go crazy for her sake.
And about how she was his fated mate.
But if his beloved was his fated mate, how did she end up becoming his mate?
She never asked for any of that.
She was busy thinking to herself when her eyes widened as they landed on Tessie.
Earlier, she did not bother to focus on Tessie because she didn't care.
But now that she focused on her, she realized something.
‘She is dead!’. She thought and felt chills run down her spine.
At that moment of shock, her eyes shifted to Alejandro.
‘He could even kill his beloved? Then what can he not do to anyone else?’. She wondered, and her eyes remained open in shock, while her body remained frozen.
She was glad that she had listened to Priscilla and stepped out of his way. Thank goodness she did not involve herself.
But, was she supposed to be glad about that?
She did not want to involve herself?
Why would she say something like that when he had already involved her from the start?
After all, why did he come into the guest room?
“Kill yourself”.
“Argh”. Ella whimpered and felt her heart skip a beat as soon as she heard what Alejandro said to her.
She was shocked and her entire body trembled without any warnings.
She stopped kneeling down and fell to a sitting position on the ground.
“Pleas-”. She tried to say something, but the look on Alejandro's face was enough to make her go mute.
“Or, do you appreciate me doing it myself?”. Alejandro asked her, but she couldn't say anything.
Her eyes were wide open in horror, and so many memories flashed inside her mind.
‘Am- am I really going to die?!’. She thought and stared at Demira earnestly. ‘Please do something! Help me! Please, don't let him kill me!’.
Her body shook, but within seconds, a sharp claw had infiltrated her throat. It happened so fast. Too fast for anyone's eyes to see or to predict.
‘Wh- what just happened?’. Ella thought and was confused.
She hadn't even realized that her own neck had been slashed, until her neck tore open and blood poured out like water.
She collapsed to the ground.
‘I never imagined that I was going to die today. And she… Why did she not help me? What a wicked lady she is. Letting me die. I swear, this is not the end’.
‘My blood is certainly upon your head’. She thought as tears escaped her eyes.
And with that, she took her last breath and died, not having a single clue that she was not the only one who had died at the hands of Alejandro today.
He had killed a few guards and some maidservants on his way to the guest room, all because they dared to react after staring at his pale beloved.
It was no wonder. When he entered the guest room, she (Ella) noticed beforehand that his hand was covered in blood.
She should have known right from the start. But being overcome with fear made her mind become foggy.
‘He actually killed her?!’.
A drop of sweat formed on Demira's forehead as she thought.
He was more heartless than she imagined.
Now it pained her dearly that she had once put her hope on such a mad maniac!
Honestly, she had heard rumors of how cruel and merciless Alejandro was, but she never believed the rumors because she had not seen it herself.
But now, she had seen everything she needed to see. And being the mate of such a mad man was the worst punishment anyone could ever give to her.
