Bound to the Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 3

*Ria's POV*

After Klaus's rejection, I became so miserable and hopeless, life became too unbearable for me and it hurts even more that there was no way for me to end this cursed life of mine.

Although Klaus rejected me, I couldn't bring myself to accept the rejection and so I ended up falling in love with him due to the little bond we still shared.

I never wanted to fall in love with him, in fact all I wanted to do was hate him, hate him so much for the pain he's made me go through, but the damn bond made that impossible and rather than hating him, I found myself falling deeply in love with Klaus no matter what he did to me.

His abuse and torture didn't stop either, rather they only became worse, worse than before, most times he'll make me watch him make love to his new found mate Brenda, putting me in so much unbearable pain.

Despite all of this, I still couldn't hate him, rather I loved him even more. I guess this is my curse after all.

Ever since Brenda came into the picture, my life became a thousand times miserable because even though she didn't spare me, she bullied me with every single opportunity she got and never failed to rub the fact that Klaus picked her over me in my face.

I've been trying to hard to endure all this torture and torment, but this hasn't been easy for Ariel at all, the rejection affected her the most and it broke her completely.

Each time Klaus hurts us or makes me watch him have s*x with Brenda, Ariel would howl in pain in my end and she slowly began to retreat herself, sometimes it feels like she's not even there at all. My once cheerful wolf became a shadow of her old self and it's all due to Klaus's betrayal.

I had only just got Ariel, the only person I have in the world and now I'm about to lose her. If anything were to happen to Ariel, I would go back to being alone and I'm not sure I'll be able to take that. Sometimes I even try talking to her but she never replies.

I was on my way to Brenda's room to call her for dinner. When I got to her room, I was about to knock on the door when I heard voices coming from her room.

I wanted to leave since I guessed she was busy, but then I realised that Brenda never lets anyone come visit her, so who would come to visit her by this time of the day? My curiosity got the best of me and so I placed my ear on her door to eavesdrop on her conversation.

"It's only a matter of time before things fall into place, my love." I heard her say.

"My love?" I muttered in surprise, one thing I was sure of was that the person in there couldn't be Klaus since he was at the diner waiting for her.

This only means one thing, Brenda was having an affair with someone else despite being with Klaus.

"I have him all wrapped around my finger and once everything is ready and we've gotten the main thing we want, I'll finish him off for good and you my love will take his place as the Alpha of this great pack."

"Klaus will never be able to escape from me, the damn thing is literally so foolishly and hopelessly into me, he even denied his own mate without a second thought. So don't worry baby, I've got this and it's only a matter of time before we strike."

"Soon, I will kill the Alpha of this pack. Klaus will die." I heard her say and a loud gasp escaped my lips.

I had literally just made my presence known, I hurriedly went to hide before she could come outside.

My heart was pounding so hard in my chest, I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I thought Brenda was in love with Klaus but she has a motive for being here and the only reason is to kill Klaus and take over his pack just to rule it with her true lover!

So many thoughts were going on in my head, I didn't know what to do and I was so scared of taking this matter to Klaus because Brenda was right about one thing, she does have Klaus wrapped around her fingers, he'll never believe me if I were to expose her to him.

"But you also can't keep silent about this." Ariel said, sounding so upset.

I felt relieved that I was finally able to hear her voice, Ariel loves her mate dearly, I should have known she wasn't going to keep quiet about this, not when it has to do with Klaus.

After much persuasion from Ariel, I summoned the courage to go speak to Klaus and warn him about this, after all this was his life we are talking about here.

I ran straight to the dining room and demanded an audience with Klaus.

"Where's Brenda?" He asked, glaring at me with so much hate in his eyes.

"S she's coming." I stuttered.

With that look of hate in his eyes, every courage I seemed to have gathered vanished into thin air and had it not been for Ariel's constant persuasion, I wouldn't have said anything.

"There's something you should know about Brenda, she's not who she seems to be." I said and Klaus frowned deeply.

"What do you mean?"

I took a deep breath before explaining everything I heard to him. By the time I was done, I was expecting him to react in some kind of way but instead he stood up and walked up to me, then he slapped me so hard across the face.

I looked at him in shock, not expecting that kind of reaction from him, not after what I've just told him.

Next, he blamed me for trying to turn him against Brenda and being jealous of their relationship, he called me cheap and said no matter what I do, he wasn't going to leave Brenda, despite all my pleadings, he never listened.

I ended up receiving a beating from him and when I couldn't take it anymore, I passed out.

When I woke up, I found myself in a hospital. I tried getting up but someone suddenly held me back and asked me to relax.

"Hey, not so fast, you need to relax."

I turned to see a middle aged woman wearing a white coat and I needed no one to tell me that she was the doctor.

"How are you feeling, Ria?" She asked with a bright smile plastered on her lips.

"I'm fine doctor, but how—"

"Don't worry, the pack guards brought you here and it's a miracle that you and the little one are okay despite what you went through."

"What do you mean? What little one?" I asked in confusion.

The doctor laughed. "Sorry, I was talking about your baby."

"Baby!? What baby?" I asked.

The doctor looked at me for some time and when she saw the confusion on my face, she gasped in shock.

"You didn't know?"

"You're pregnant, Ria." She said and my eyes widened in shock.

"What!!?"
