Chapter 4

PHOEBE'S POV:-

At first, I was lost in that kiss. I didn't want to pull away from him. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. But soon, I pushed him away as my mind flashed me the image of the King, howling at me angrily while holding Kelvin's chopped off head in his hand. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you want to die?" I yelled at him angrily. I quickly wiped his kiss off of my lips and spat on the ground. He chuckled shamelessly as he watched me trying so hard to save his life.

He took a step towards me, snaked one of his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to his tall figure. "You worry too much, Alpha. Do you see him anywhere? He isn't here, is he?" His words made me freeze. Or maybe my body froze because he was too close to me.

I looked around and realized he was right. No one was around except for him and I. "Just stay with me. I will not let anyone get to you at all. I promise you that." He whispered softly in my ear, making me clench my eyes. Something started throbbing between my legs. I knew exactly what he was trying to do to me.

I pushed him away from me again and dusted my clothes. I knew my actions would hurt him. But I couldn't make him understand that I was doing it for his own good. "Get your medicine and leave my pack. I can't afford to have you on these lands. I can't make my people suffer. Just leave and never come back." I growled at him angrily. Although, I was not angry at him. I was angry at my fate and the Goddess who was playing games with me.

It was painful for me to push him away like this. He was my mate. And Alpha or not, but every single shifter in the world impatiently waits for the day when they would find their mate. It was not the same for me. My mate was in front of me but I couldn't accept him. I was not afraid of that monster but I feared for the life of my mate.

Clutching my fists angrily, I walked away. I couldn't let anything happen to that man. I had decided to reject him by the time he would leave. So he could find another mate and live by her side for the rest of his life. "You can't just reject our mate. You can't punish us so cruelly. Please, don't do this, Phoebe." Cassandra growled at me angrily. Cassandra's begs pained me ever more.

Once I was sure that I was at the safer distance from Kelvin, I fell on the ground and started sobbing quietly. I was sad that my own wolf was unable to understand the fact that I was just trying to save a life that meant everything to me. I couldn't help but think if he thought of me as a villain as well.

I was standing at the roof of the mansion that my father built for both of his daughters. He was so proud of us both. He even got things done according to our likes. Like, my father created a back garden with lots of flowers and trees for different kinds of fruits. My father found out that I had a thing for green and healthy plants and trees and flowers.

Just like that, my sister, Nina. She was interested in expensive things like jewellery, cars and ancient pieces. That's why, our father bought her a diamond company and a museum that had all the ancient things in it. Ancient paintings and dishes my father had bought just for her. I was just getting ready to sell it. I didn't want to keep anything that my father gave Nina.

It belonged to her. So I wanted her to have the money instead. Since she was no longer allowed to step a foot inside my pack. I didn't want my parents to be angry at me in the afterlife. I was staring at my pack, smiling as I watched my pack grow. It gave me peace. It gave me the strength to deal with the dark fate I was cursed with.

I heard a pair of footsteps walking toward me. I didn't need to be alert because I smelled Henry's scent behind me. He stopped by the boundary of the roof. He leaned against the railing and turned his face to me.

I could smell the defeat he had accepted a while ago. I didn't want him to feel worse. That's why, I neither asked him anything about the mission he took on his head. Nor that I tried and mocked him over his defeat. I was his Alpha and also his best friend. I was supposed to be there for him and support him.

"I shouldn't have doubted you in the first place. I literally thought that you, the best huntress of the Silver Moon Pack, might have missed something. I owe you an apology." Henry whispered softly, his words were laced with guilt and remorse. I smiled as I turned my face toward him.

"You couldn't have known. It's alright. You don't owe me anything. Just be yourself, Henry." I whispered in a low tone.

"What about your mate? What are you going to do to him?" Henry asked me in a low tone and I clenched my fists. I never thought I would ever think about anything that dark. But I guess, to protect someone dear to you from pain, you can cross any limits.

"Ask him to leave one last time. And if he still doesn't listen, I will kill him myself." I replied to him in a low tone while staring at the sun that had started to set down. It had turned orange. I could feel his surprised gaze on my face but I didn't let him see my eyes. My eyes held the actual pain I felt in my chest, and the fear as I imagined my mate getting hurt because of me. I wouldn't be merciless, unlike the shifter king.

"You want to kill your mate? But why?" Henry's question was filled with too much surprise. I could understand his surprise. He had only seen my bright side. And no matter whatever happened to me, I never let that darkness take over my heart. But then, that darkness was about to take my mate's life. And I couldn't let that happen.

"If he wants to be stubborn, I have to do something to save him from the king. I'll kill him in an instant. While the king will keep him alive for decades to torture him and use his existence against me. I can't let anyone become my weakness. I am responsible for every single life in this pack." I growled in annoyance. Those words came straight out of my heart. Because my heart was hurting. And no one was willing to understand where I stood.

………………

Late at night, my whole body was burning with need. I wanted my mate. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was surprised to see myself in that familiar room. That huge room and the round king size bed set by the corner of the room, near the window. I tried to move but I couldn't. My hands and my legs were tied with the bedposts. I was lying naked on the bed and my own panty was stuffed inside my mouth.

I tried to pull my hands to break free. But I felt like I was no longer a shifter. I felt so weak as if I was merely a human. The door of the room opened and he stepped into the room. It was him again. King Adrian was standing in front of me. He walked toward the bed and admired my naked body.

Tears welled up in my eyes at my helplessness. I closed my eyes and turned my face away as I couldn't do anything else. Just then, I felt him crawling into the bed. I opened my eyes again as fear gripped my heart. I found him on all fours, leaning forward. His face was dangerously close to my pussy.

I tried to fight, pulling onto the ropes as hard as I could to break free. But it was useless. He parted my pussy lips with his fingers and took a brief whiff, as if filling his lungs with the scent of my arousal. "Looks like you are enjoying our game. Look how wet you are." He growled seductively.

I didn't know why my body would betray me like that. He knew how to use my weak spots against me. After all, he had abused me. He pulled away from me and walked toward a couch that was set in front of the bed. His eyes were set on my pussy while he was stroking his hard cock with his own hands. My body started shaking. I didn't know how it could be pleasurable for anyone when you are being humiliated. But as I watched him cum, I orgasmed hard.
