“Your father had his guards torture my mother in front of her mate, do you know how painful that is?” He asked, I shook my head.
“No.”
“Good, you don’t. He didn’t just capture them for the fun, he tortured them and he enjoyed it, alongside other pack members.”
“So it wasn’t just your parents then.”
“Your father’s petty jealousy went too far when he laid his hands on a knife first. Everyone knows that there is a simple rivalry between Alphas, it’s what makes every pack the best as they try to compete and train their soldiers to be better than the rest. Your father couldn’t handle the competition when my father kept beating him over and over again like it was nothing. What started as a friendly competition turned into a full–blown war all because your father couldn’t accept that he was weak.
“He kidnapped my parents on their way to a treaty, alongside the warriors and other pack members. He kept them in his dungeon and tortured them. He kept sending a part of their body as he dismembered them. My father pleaded with yours to release his mate and let her go but that only fueled your father. He let his guard taunt and goad my mother, raping her while my father felt the pain. Unimaginable pain as is watched the may bond snap.
“My father went crazy and tried to kill your father but he was weak, it was easy for him to be killed and buried alongside the others.”
“I am sorry for what happened to your parents,” I told him.

The story seemed sad and suddenly, I understood why he had to come for my father. The years he spent training and preparing for the attack cemented his hatred for my father and my pack.
“Did you torture me, father?”
I don’t know why is asked that, maybe I am just a glutton for punishment.
“No, I didn’t. But he knows I have you and every possibility of you meeting the same fate my mother did is quite high.”
“You will die from the pain,” I reminded him.
“Not if I reject you.”
“You already did.”
“Ah! Then it’s easy.” He said.
“Did killing him make you find peace?”
He thought for a while and eventually answered. “No, when I wiped out your pack, I did it for mine. It was just my revenge but retribution for what your father did to them.”
My eyes went to the box and back to him.
“Did you find peace?” I asked again.
“What?”
“If killing him was supposed to make you feel better since you did it for yourself ack like some sort of hero then do you feel better?”
“I haven’t considered that, I am not sure. Maybe after I kill you, his spawn. Maybe then I will feel better.”
My heart lurched in my throat, “I am not like my father despite what they told you.”
He laughed in my face, “Too late, princess.”
“It’s pointless to keep me locked up here. My only crime is that I am his daughter. I haven’t killed anyone it tortured either.”
He kept mute, only sighing when my tears fell even harder.
I tried so hard to stop it but the sight of my father’s head was my undoing. I struggled to get myself together and not show any weakness just like he taught me.
“Tell me something,”
“What?”
“What was being a princess like?” He asked, That’s the question. He was so lucky I was tied up.
“We don’t do much except dress up and organize tea parties.”
“I am serious,” he growled.
“It was like riding a bike.” The lie passed through my teeth effortlessly.
Telling him. the truth wouldn’t help my case, he believed what they said about me, the mate bond didn’t matter to him, or my honesty. All he cared
about was revenge.
“I see,”
He stood up, “Where are you going?‘ I asked.

Chapter 4
“I am an Alpha, it’s not in my job description to babysit prisoners.” He said as he walked out.
He told the guards to watch me. Big mistake.
The four of them sneered down at me like I was dirty gum stuck between their shoes.
“She looks like a bitch, right boys?”
I glared hard at them, “Aww she is mad at us,”
One pulled at my hair making me hiss in pain, it hurts. They didn’t stop there, they kept saying derogatory words to me. They kept hitting me saying something about taking care of me as their Alpha told them to.
This was his command? For them to torture me?
My heart broke into two, I didn’t mind staying there till he decided what to do with me but unleashing his pack dogs on me made it even worse.
“We should start calling you the spawn of the devil, your father goes around killing people. What would he say now when he sees you?”
I sniffed but didn’t say anything.
A slap landed on my cheek, followed by another and another till all I could feel was pain from both sides. They untied me just to have more fun with me, they kicked my stomach over and over again till I felt numb.
“Please stop,” I begged and whimpered.
I wanted to die, I didn’t want it to be like this. They should just kill me, anything but this.
My body slipped into the trance I kept myself in whenever my father was abusing me, it made me numb and unaware of my surroundings. I felt the pain after he was done and was satisfied with the fresh bruises on my body.
I did the same, waiting for them to finish. The black spots danced around my eyes as I waited. It didn’t seem to be stopping so I cried out and begged them to stop but they didn’t listen.
They ignored my cries as they kept abusing me. My body couldn’t take it anymore, for once in my life. I was happy to welcome the darkness when it
came.
