Chapter 02
Peace POV
Tears rolled down my cheek as I dropped the flower in my hand on my dad’s coffin, I never thought I would be saying goodbye to him so soon.
It’s hurt, it’s hurt so much that I want everything to pause for a while and be void without any emotion.
I wiped my tears and stared at Mark who shed fake tears, isn’t he the most wicked person I have seen. His mom walks towards me and offers me a handkerchief.
“You only have to keep your mouth shut and things will go back to normal very soon,” she whispered to me, hugging me tightly. It came as a shock to me.
She knows about it! What type of a mother is she?. Tears gathered in my eyes and I started wondering where they kept my mother.
They didn’t even let her see her husband for the last time, many of them stared at me for different reasons.
I could hear their talks and murmurs with my wolf ability, some believed my mother killed them both and ran away.
Some say I’m a bastard, some say I’m a witch and some say I’m cursed. Perhaps I’m truly cursed because why would my mate kill my father just because of power.
“Since you have refused to confess about the death of your father, the death of Alpha king Enzo’s mate and your mother where about,you will be banished from our pack ‘’ One of the council that steps forward says.
I fall on my knees jamming my palm together at their mercy, begging. “I really do not know anything” That’s the only word that comes out of my mouth at that moment. I have cried and cried but it’s only making me weaker.
He’s really going to let them banish me for the crime I didn’t commit, he’s the murderer! I’m the victim of all this.
How could Mark do this to me? Those moments we have been together replay in my head, those laughter and love we felt towards each other.
It’s all fake, He never loved me and most have approached for his purpose.The mate the moon goddess gave to me has become my end, “Take her away” Alpha King Enzo ordered his men.
They dragged me away while I struggled to get free from them. “Please don’t, I really do not know anything” I cried as his man dragged me towards his carriage.
“I didn’t kill them!” I cried out to all of them, why won’t they believe me?
Banished from my own pack and enslaved to The Alpha King, I don’t know what to expect from him.
Everything I have heard about him was nothing good, I was confused because of how he treated his mate but now that his mate is no more because of me,I can’t imagine what he will do to me.
I thought I would be in his car but it hit me hard as they confined me in a small, enclosed cage with thick iron bars, unable to move freely.
They use heavy chains to bind my legs and hands, the chains are made of thick metal links,cold to touch, and are fastened with sturdy locks.
My legs are straightened out in front of me,with my ankles hurting me so bad, The chains are tight, allowing only minimal movement.
If they could treat me like a criminal right in front of my people like this, what will be my fate later when we get to his pack , anger, and desperation.
Angry at myself because I didn’t see through Mark all this while and desperately wishing I could just wake up to see it’s all a nightmare but it’s real.
Despite my struggles,the chains and cage hold firm, unyielding to my grip and it’s like they knew how strong I’m to hold me there.
Mark walks up to me staring down at me like a disgusted thing he’s finally getting rid of, “please let me have a word with her” He pleaded and the guards left.
The way he’s pretending and fooling everything is so perfect that I would believe he’s innocent if I didn’t see it happen.
“Too bad it had to end like this,” he says, his voice laced with regret but does he really regret any of this? “I thought we could have a decent relationship once your father was out of the picture. But you had to show up, and Victoria is just unfortunate.
He sighs heavily, his expression sombre. “I never intended for things to escalate this far. I genuinely cared for you, Peace. It’s a shame it has to end like this. And let me make one thing clear: if you ever think of speaking out, Your mother will be dead before they even have a chance to consider your words.”
I move closer to the cage, my anger boiling at its peak and spit in his face.
“You’re a beast! Where is my mom? Where did you keep her, you bastard!” I yelled, shaking up the cage.
“Peace!” He yelled my name, “I reject you as my mate!” He says and walks away. He didn’t have the right to do this! I should reject him!
The pain of rejection hit me and I fell on my ass, tears streamed down my cheek. my body becomes stiff and my heart shattered into peace and I know for sure that I’m not hurt because of his rejection but broken.
tormented by regret for not seeing through this beast’s deception! My whole world is trembling and disintegrating, leaving me with nothing but ruins.
There’s nothing I can do now. My strength, once formidable, has become useless. I’m no match for Alpha King Enzo, and my rejection has left me feeling powerless.
My strength, which was once my greatest asset, is now nothing compared to his dominance, both before and after my rejection.
Alpha King Enzo finishes talking with council and heads toward my cage, the anger and hatred in his face is visible, those hatred and anger shouldn’t be directed to me but he won’t know.
I felt he’s at the edge of breaking down by just looking at him from afar, he’s different from the Person that came with his mate yesterday.
I really can’t judge him because he lost his mate and he must be in pain as I’m, would he believe my words without explanation? I can’t confess.
“It hasn’t even started yet and you’re already shedding tears? By the time I’m done with you, you will speak up begging for your life” His words are like a promise he will never break.
Tears are all I could shed till I become numb.
