Chapter 24

Hadrian’s pov

“You killed them!” She tossed another pillow at me. Whatever she saw she wasn’t supposed to see, Ariel would pay dearly for leading her to the dungeon. I took another step closer and she held a pillow towards me, In trepidation.

“ Don’t come close to me please”, her eyes slammed in fear, like I could hurt her, it was the first time cassia felt defensive towards me, it made me heart ache,

“You were not supposed to see that”, I moved towards her in an attempt to comfort her , she yelped off the bed, before I could even get to her.

“ Leave me alone!”

“Cassia talk to me”, she ran over till she was further away, “ you are heartless” her constant verbal blow had me on standstill, but she had just seen something outrageous, “ let me explain” but she waved her head demanding I stay, but I couldn’t, I had no idea how long she watched, not even when she entered I had been so carried away, did she see me kill them.

“ go away” she ran towards the restroom shutting the door behind her, “ cassia let’s talk”

“Cassia”

“Leave!”

It just gets harder each time, my hands forks my head just thinking about how shitty the day had been, I just couldn’t get myself to leave just like she had demanded, I had to think of a way out, what could make her trust me again, “I did not kill them” I said, she still doesn’t say anything, I stood to my feet, making my way out of the room when a creek caught my attention.

“ I heard gunshots”, I turned to see standing at the door, she poked her head out while cleaning her tears with her palm, I walked closer and she shuts the door once more, “ I didn’t kill all of them”

“Why”

Just when I was about shooting all of them and ending their misery, I noticed Cassie, on the floor, before she ran away, before I could comprehend if it was all in my mind or she was actually there, I had pulled the trigger, shooting the wall, Ariel confirmed she was indeed there and not just in my mind, then I chased after her just to find her crying.

“Why didn’t you kill them” she stood before me, still teary, “ i wanted to then you left the room” I replied, she broke into tears again, I pulled her in for a hug, just the feeling of her this close, brought so much bliss, I didn’t how bad it felt being repulsed till now, “ you watched them get tortured, you shot him, I saw blood”, my suspicions were right she saw a lot, all of which can’t be explained even if i wanted to, knowing my name was paraded as a means of embezzlement was a stain in my legacy, I wouldn’t let it slide, I had to put an end to their misery.

By basic punishment, their penalty warranted their public castration and a forced drowning, but knowing the people were more confused by the recent attacks of the clan wolves, I had to take charge within the castle.

“Let’s talk”

Taking her by her waist, I carried her to the bed, “ you were not supposed to see that”, I placed a kiss on her knuckles then proceeded to her lips, she resists but gave in after I kissed her forehead, “ there are other method to punish” she muffled in between our lip,as she pushed me away, frustration finds its way into my heart, she cares too much they didn’t t deserve any pity definitely not from her .

“People need to be reminded who the ruler is”, she finally seats up, gently holding my knuckles on her hands, she placed tender kisses on them, which eased my weary mind, she gestured I come over which I did, her lips met with mine, gently suppressing me to the bed, her petite figure perfectly rested on me.

“You scared me_I”

I flipped her over pinning her before me, “ it’s all in the past” I said, just being this close to her had me at the edge, but then I had blood all over my shirt, “ do you want to bathe with me?”, she smiled passing a sultry look, standing up I helped her undress, each day passing me by with such perfection was making it even harder to contend with.

“ I can’t wait to have you.” I held her by her waist while taking to the bathroom. There it started off with passionate kisses, her hands traveled down my things holding my dick in her hands, “ should I?, I train for this”, she said, her eyes not leaving mine, her sudden boldness was one of a kind knowing how inexperienced and innocent she was, I couldn’t help but smile.

I nodded in approval of her attempt, her petite hands held me firmly, she stroked back and forth the full length, while placing features like kissing on my chest, it tickled yet burned gently, “ have you ever sucked?” I asked she waved her head, just as expected, “ on your knees” my finger held her hair up in an updo so she doesn’t get any hair on her face, my pulsating cock rubs against her face, she stare with extremes nervousness as her face flushed red.

My fingers swept across her lips, I shoved my thumb in, “Suck” and suck she did, circling her tongue on the top of my thumb, “More force” I said pressing hard against her tongue, I felt her level of dedication, as my thumb reached her throat hitting its base slightly, “ you really trained, didn’t you? ” I slipped my fingers out, wetting her lips with her saliva, my hands held my cock against her lips.

“Do just as practiced”

•••

I stared at cassia while she slept, so blissfully, the look in her eyes earlier were the most dreaded sight I have ever beheld, she had only seen me kill a man for being punished and rebuked me instantly , she doesn’t belong with me, I have soiled with my hands with so much blood that weren’t that of the guilty, yet she comes into my life so pure, too clean for my dark slate and back records, too bright for the darkness I had buried myself, a savior yet too weak.

Walking up to her, my palm caresses her tender cheek, she nudges forward subconsciously, it made my heart flatter how adorable she looked, so innocent even while unconscious, but my joy soon replaced with fear as scenes of her laying lifeless comes back to my mind, Ariel wasn’t wrong, how petty the people would go to ensure a fake security, they wouldn’t even sell their goods to someone in a moon pack,because she hailed from there, they would do worse to her if she had confronted them.

I retrieved my hands, then headed off to Ariel’s chambers, where two ladies totally naked were tending to his needs. He was topless with his dick hanging out as well,making my presence known to them, they all scowled in shame, their heads bowed to the floor.

“Alpha”

“Leave” I commanded, they dragged their clothes then ran out of the room, ariel remained in mining with his eyes closed, his head staring at the rooftop, “ what do I do for you this time” he said still unmoving , I walked towards his rack of liquor, “ leave my drinks” he said in a sigh, “ if you close up your dick we have something urgent to discuss”

“You could come suck it, since you wanted it so badly you chased them away”
