Blaze Davies gasped after witnessing the tragic scene. He even held his chest as if that was where the sword stuck. Lillianne's crying didn't make it any better. It made him more tormented than he had ever imagined.
Meanwhile, the attacker was the only one having fun with it. That despicable act began with doubt and fear at first, but who would have thought that when it happened, it was more satisfying than anything else?
"I should have done this sooner," he muttered. That made Blaze grit his teeth in anger even more.
Zephyr stared at the dying Alpha King's sturdy back. It had always faced him arrogantly for a long time but had now collapsed. He wiped the blood splatters on his face, smirking while looking at the hysterical Luna. She was the main reason for him doing this.
The real Alpha King didn't die instantly, though. Zephyr felt a faint movement from the hilt of the sword he was still holding. No, he won't give Leander a chance. He must die. That was why he spun the sharp object to crush his organs even more. Leander let out a short groan before a long silence, while Lillianne wailed even more.
"Curse you, Zephyr! You should rot in hell!" she yelled.
"Leander is the one going to hell, Lillianne. Don't you see it?" he mocked her instead.
"B*stard!" Blaze also couldn't hold back his rage. He clenched his fists in anger.
Ignoring Lillianne's despair, Zephyr then let out a roar. He conveyed his claim of victory to all the people of Notos Kingdom who were still unaware of the tragedy. They had to know that he had eliminated the king they hailed so that he was the highest authority in this kingdom.
After a while, howls were heard from all around the kingdom. That was a sign that the folks had received his message. It was also the first tribute he received as the new Alpha King.
He then focused on Lillianne again. The female werewolf was still crying out loud for her dead lover, still n*ked with blood covering her alluring body. That somehow made Zephyr even more crazy about her. Oh, she was always beautiful and seductive. No wonder he was obsessed with her even though she was his best friend's mate. It then led him to take this sick decision.
"Stop crying, Lillianne. Put on your clothes and run away from him. He is so dangerous," Blaze muttered as if she could hear him. He had a worse feeling seeing the way the traitor looked at her.
"He is dead now. Crying over him is useless and will only waste your energy. Stop it," Zephyr said in a cold tone not long after.
Lillianne shot him that sharp and hateful gaze again. Tears were still flowing non-stop from her eyes, merging with the sticky splashes of blood on her lovely face.
"You think you can get away with this? The universe will avenge your despicable actions!" The female werewolf yelled in rage.
The man grinned. "No, the universe will always be on my side, darling. That's why this happened. Fate allowed me to do this, so now the control is mine."
"What a lowly creep."
That was all Lillianne could say afterward. She cried again for the dead Alpha King and kept calling out to him as if she could wake him up again.
"No, no. Stop it, Lillianne. Go now. Run!" Blaze tried warning her again even though he knew it was useless.
Zephyr didn't even give her time to grieve. He approached the woman after that. Lillianne panicked, reflexively backing away from him, but she was easily caught. She winced when the male grabbed her arm roughly.
"No. Let go of her, crazy b*astard!" Blaze shouted in frustration.
"Let go of me. What more do you want?" Lillianne struggled to break free, but the man was much stronger than her. "Let me go!"
"You should know, Lillianne. I've always wanted you, even before you met him. That's why it sucks for me to see you stay with him. You are only supposed to be mine." He pulled her close to hold her tightly, ignoring her fights. "You don't know how much I want to hold you like this, darling. You shouldn't even be in his arms in the first place. Damn, I hate how his smell fills you even now." He forcefully hugged her.
"NO. GO!. GOOO!"
Zephyr's lust mixed with anger. His eyes suddenly turned silver, as his breathing increased. He then nuzzled Lillianne's neck to do the thing he most wanted to do from the start. He had even opened his mouth to suck her milky skin.
"W-What is he doing now?" Blaze looked increasingly nervous.
"No. Don't do that!"
Lillianne suddenly pushed the male werewolf before his intentions could be realized. The woman was about to leave, but Zephyr quickly grabbed her again, throwing her on the bed next to Leander's corpse. Blaze immediately jumped closer toward them when the new Alpha King lunged at his secretary.
"F*ck, stop it!" he shouted hoarsely. However, things got even worse.
"N-No! D-Don't... don't do this. L-Let me... LET ME GO!"
The woman struggled harder, but she wasn't going anywhere this time. Zephyr's huge body had completely dominated her, making her unable to move. Especially when he started forcefully kissing her, ignoring all her attempts to get away from him.
“No… no… Z-Zephyr, akh--“
It was a very disturbing sight when the man could never accept a no. The more the woman rebelled, the more violent he became. Meanwhile, Blaze also couldn't stay still any longer. He tried to hit him, kick him, and push him away from Lillianne, but it didn't work. He couldn't even touch them.
"Damn it this useless power! F*ck!"
It was getting more alarming when Zephyr suddenly shapeshifted into a large wolf with golden fur. It made Blaze freeze, he couldn't believe his eyes again. He only came to his senses when he heard Lillianne's cry of pain. The scary creature bit her neck while forcefully inserting himself into her v*gina.
"N-No..." Blaze's entire body felt paralyzed instantly.
"I hereby claim you as my mate, Lillianne. From now on I am the only one who has full rights over you until death takes one of us. You will also be my Luna, the empress who will accompany me to rule this kingdom."
“N-No… No. I don’t want it.” Lillianne cried, but she was helpless, especially with the man still pounding over her. "You are so lowly, Zephyr. You are the worst and the most despicable. I swear you will pay this. Leander will avenge you in the future" Lillianne grimaced in pain. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Avenged by whom? By him? The pathetic and weak king who is now lying helplessly beside us?" Zephyr grinned, forcing Lillianne to look beside her. The woman shook her head while closing her eyes. She felt embarrassed to be in such a lowly state in front of someone she still considered her lover. "The sacred book said that he would be reborn three times. He might live again and meet you in the future. But you know what, that would never happen. He wouldn't be able to beat me no matter what era he was in. He won't be able to take you from me."
That was his last ment before pounding himself harder into her. He ignored Lilliane's cries, screams, and even pleas to let him go. He even became more eager to r*pe her while looking at Leander's corpse with a triumphant smile.
"B*astard. I will destroy you too. I swear I will kill you the next time we meet."
Blaze just held back his anger since he couldn't do anything. He couldn't even bear to watch the b*rbaric action any longer. He chose to escape from that painful memory.
