FATED TO THE ENEMY ALPHA

CHAPTER 9 - PUPPET ON A STRING

DERRICK’S POV

"The rest of you are dismissed!"

The men bowed even lower to my orders and scurried out of the room. I was done with them. None of them could help me find my daughter. I had to find another option.

I sighed. Why did dramas always have to pop up and affect my glorious life? What wrong had I done to deserve all this? Was it bad that I aimed to get what I wanted?

I used every means possible to get what I wanted because I desired it as much. While every other Alphas were too scared to do what was necessary; I had the backbones needed to get it and the world turned against me.

Now today, I was the evil guy for fulfilling my dreams. Only the moon goddess knew where they had kept Nora.

I felt a sudden migraine hit me and I slowly staggered to my room. I needed to rest and think about my next move carefully or I would play into my enemy's trap.

I reached my room and pushed it open. It was the biggest room in the castle. I entered it and was hit with the cold temperature of the room.

Khaliya was here.

She was laying on the bed, dressed in a robe that was held by a belt. Her left thigh was left exposed due to the fact that the robe had fallen off on that side.

The moment she spotted me, she sat up immediately. "My love! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you," she began and her two tongues slithered out of her mouth.

Sometimes, I asked myself if she was truly dumb or if she was just pretending. Because I found it hard to understand why someone with such great powers as her would be so stupid.

"Baby, you must have forgotten that Nora went missing," I reminded her.

She widened her eyes in surprise and got to her feet immediately. Her body had strange black writings of a language only witches understood. The markings were also on her face and they became more visible as she approached me.

"I thought she was already back," she whispered and came to a stop inches away from me.

I clenched my teeth at her and reminded myself that she was useful. There was no need to lash out at her.

"Armon could not find her, I don't know who can," I switched my voice to a pained tone instead.

My tone worried her and she brought her hands to my face. "You will find her. You looked so stressed. Let me ease it away my love," she whispered and her tongues escaped her mouth and found my lips.

I gulped hard before giving her passage. She sucked on my lips as she glided her tongue through my mouth. She found my hands and dipped them into her robe so that they rested her big bare breasts. The action made me understand what she wanted.

No, I was not ready to satisfy her lust just like that. She had to do something for me in return. An idea suddenly popped into my mind and I broke away from the kiss.

"What's wrong baby?" She asked worried that I would not be satisfying her tonight.

"Khaliya my love, you're a witch remember! You should be able to find her!" I exclaimed.

Instead, she frowned. "You know I can't do that. I'm a water witch; not an air witch. Water witches are better with illusions; it's our specialty. We also manipulate the water in different ways but location is the great specialty of an air witch," she explained and her tongue kept slipping out.

I was aware of her strength and her weaknesses. The fact that she was a water witch was also the reason for her two tongues. It was in the image of a water serpent. But I knew that if she manipulated her strength well enough, then she would be able to locate Nora.

"There is water everywhere, isn't there Khaliya? The fact that water exists allows you to transport yourself there. Why then can't you locate Nora using those skills?" I demanded.

She stared at me warily. She was not sure of my suggestion. This was one thing I hated about the witches I knew of. They never tried new things. They just stuck to the old training they knew.

"This was not what I was taught back home," Khaliya protested and worry took over her face. It was as if I was trying to force her down a foreign lane that she was too scared to take.

I guessed this was the time to use emotional blackmail on her.

I changed my mood to a very sad one and I forced tears to fill up my eyes. "Don't you love me enough, Khaliya? I don't think you do. I'm worried sick about Nora and you're not even trying to help find her. This means our relationship is a joke to you," I cried and tears streamed down my face.

Khaliya's eyes went wide with shock. "What are you saying, Derrick? I love you with all my heart. I love you more than my life. I can give up my life for you," she cried and tears started exiting her eyes as well.

Khaliya was so weak and dumb. I could easily manipulate her into fulfilling all my wishes.

"Then will you at least try to locate Nora with your powers?" I tried again.

She let out a sigh of defeat. "Yes, I will. Anything for you my love," she breathed and smiled at me.

"I love you, Khaliya!" I exclaimed and lifted her.

Then I put her back down and loosened the belt that was tied to her robe. Her excitement could not be contained. My eyes gleamed with mischief as I claimed her lips with mine. Her face was not pleasing enough but her curvy body could keep me busy till I fell asleep.

She was in perfectly good hands for the night.
