Alpha King's Runaway Luna

Chapter 5

Anna’s P.O.V.

When the black line was drawn on my fate, the twilight of the evening turned into the darkness of the night. By the time I was taken out of the mansion and forever into my enemies' hands, the night had completely fallen. Someone put a big black shawl on my head, hiding me completely.

A strange numbness got on my nerves. Feelings were so static that I could not guess the journey length. I regained consciousness when the car stopped. It stopped at the gate of the fort-like palace, which witnessed the luxurious lifestyle of the residents, standing tall. In addition to bright lights flowing from the gate to the porch, there was an awful, majestic, and mysterious silence reigning throughout the entire structure.

The car stopped and the doors of the stopped cars swung back and forth. The echo of a heavy male voice could also be heard in my ears.

"Tell your wife; take this girl to our room. We'll come and talk later." A relatively loud and commanding voice emerged. In response, the suppressed voice of a trembling employee echoed.

“As you ordered, Alpha.” Then the distant sound of rising footsteps. I sat frozen still.

"Come in. This is Alpha’s order." After some pause, I heard a female voice. She was a middle-aged woman; her appearance told us she was a maid. It seemed to me that my status would be low among them. I complied and followed her with shaky steps through the various corridors and long verandahs, finally stopping in front of a heavy ebony door.

The maid first asked for permission by knocking on the door, then pushed the door open and signaled me to move forward. This was the time my self-control responded. There was a trembling sensation in my legs and my palms became wet. It was here that my fate was truly decided.

“So finally Regan’s daughter arrived here. I want to see the sister of the culprit, so come here. You have come here, but many debts have been incurred. You didn't have the capacity to pay the old ransom, and your father has revised the list of your punishment. He fools, thinking he will save you in this way, he has a crude idea. This is the old revenge of a woman against a woman. There is still blood for blood, but you have come here as the murderer's sister. Yes, my son is dead. Here's a crack." The tall man slapped his chest. I stood with my head bowed, my hands shaking uncontrollably. I didn’t dare utter a word. My words were lost somewhere.

"Listen, girl, you will have to live, eat, and drink with servants. You will do your work in the same way. From now on, forget about your past and say nothing. The day your brother is killed, I will tell you. It will be easy for you to mourn," he said disdainfully. A chill ran across my body. I don’t know who he was, but his words made me tremble.

“Remember, you belong to Alpha Adam now. He can do whatever he wants. You are just a slave here, understand?” He said contemptuously and asked the employee to leave with a gesture of his hand. Even though I wanted to, I could not ask that if it was my brother who had to be killed, why should he take me? I did not have the courage.

At his gesture, I stepped out before the maid. My heart trembled badly. This palace was cruel to people. There was more than one brutal here. Life was going to be very difficult, I realized.

“Who was he?” I asked in a trembling, low voice.

"Father of Alpha Adam." The answer made me shudder as I remembered the man with ice-blue eyes. So was he Adam?

Was I attributed to him? No.

My mind wandered badly. I looked at my hands' lines.

"Oh, was this my fate?" I sobbed despite my restraint.

End of Anna’ P.O.V.

"Please take care of yourself, and do not cry like this." Throughout the time he spent caring for his mother, Alpha Adam kept saying to her,

“Why are you making such a fuss, Mom? I had to pick this girl. Is she worthy of being my wife?” There was no end to his arrogant pride. She looked at the sensitive, capable and mischievous son with displeasure this time.

“That is not the point. Do I have to explain it to you? She will live here, in front of my eyes. I couldn’t control myself. When I looked at her, the face of my dead son would appear in front of my eyes. "How can I bear this?” She sobbed while grabbing his strong hands.

“Okay then. 'I will kill this girl tomorrow.' His tone was full of pride and power. But he couldn’t suppress the anxiety that gripped him.

“Can you do that?” His wolf growled. He suppressed his inner voice while closing his eyes.

“No, she won't get such an easy death," she shook her head in disgust.

“Mom, don't cry like this. This is not acceptable to me." He knelt, took her face in his arms and started wiping her tears. The image of the blood-stained corpse of his young brother was etched in his sleepless blood-colored eyes.

"I can't forgive her. What if we can’t capture the killer, but his sister is here, in our prison? If you say, I can shoot...” He tried to say again but this time he couldn’t finish. His wolf was getting crazy in his mind. He looked at his mother. Her condition was getting worse. She was in high spirits till now, but seeing the girl, her grief was fresh again.

Alpha Adam called the doctor, who was staying in the mansion at the time. Luna's health had been deteriorating for the last eight days. The doctor administered a sedative injection and she became unconscious. He wiped her tear-soaked face with his hand and looked at her with sad eyes. Then he wrapped her hair in love and straightened the blanket and went out. When he turned the corridor corner, he called the maid.

In front of him, she kneels down and says, "Alpha." They were always afraid of his anger.

“Where is that girl?” His question was about Anna. The tone was venomous.

“In slave quarters.” She replied in a low voice. Hearing that, he nodded.

“Take care of my mother.” He was about to move on after finishing the conversation, but stopped when he saw his father.

"Where are you going?" He asked, examining his handsome and brilliant son, as if trying to get inside him and discover the mystery.

"To remind her of her status and settle some issues." The hatred hidden in his thoughts showed in his eyes and voice. He looked at his face for a moment.

“Remember one thing. She is our enemy's daughter, nothing else. You can use her however you like, but remember that she is a slave." He insisted that the reason was that the girl's unbelievable beauty caused him to fear danger. He was a wise man. He knew that gold, women and land always caused destruction, and then a beautiful woman was like a devil's temptation. As Alpha Adam saw his father's figure, he was shocked and stunned by the purpose, and his face appeared contemptuous.

"My standard is not that low, dad." After feeling hatred and ridicule in his tone, he should have been satisfied, but he was not. Silence was better. He patted his shoulder and left. Alpha Adam pursed his lips in an attempt to control his emotions.

The situation was dangerous for him. He was still shocked by fate's cruel decision.

How long did he wait for his mate? He never complained. Since the wait has ended, he finds it unacceptable.

It was hard for him to forgive his enemies. She was his brother's killer's sister. How could he forget this fact?

It was decided that he would not kill her but humiliate her every day as a form of punishment. He was Alpha Adam. He never forgives anyone, not even his mate.
