Chapter 40
Hutton's
POV
I was finding it hard to breathe, my legs quiver, weak to carry my body which seemed to be very heavy, my stomach grumbled in hunger as I felt like dying, I was never used to house chores and never thought I'll never in my life be the one to clean the whole house and surrounding, the worst was that I wasn't given any chance to rest, it would have been better if it was the Royal guards checking on me but not anymore...
All around the Royal Pack house were full of demons that had been released from the dungeon, they all looked furious,
it has been for many years they got locked up by my father and the hatred was still engraved in their heart, with those grudges for my father, they made sure I never rest as I served as a slave in the house and pack where I should be the Alpha.
It was breaking my heart into pieces, I was crying for real, it was so much to bear in a day, just in a twinkle of an eye, I lost my father and everything went sour,
My mind won't keep flashing back to the words from Lena and how we maltreated her, I could recall when she threatened to make me pay for killing Linda, now, it seemed she was already making me pay so dearly.
I was passing through pains that filled my body, each time I look around the house and see the demons enjoying the food and roaming around as they own it all, it makes my heart bleed, I really felt it was better to die, my life has turned useless.
With a deep breath of exhaustion I bend over to carry the trashcan where I had packed in all the dirt from the environment, I was a bit glad I was done but then, I can't tell what awaits me next.
Stan had turned evil, Kyle is the demon King herself, different type demons were all around and the Royal guards does nothing except Kyle and Stan's orders, how was I going to live in such a place, I was afraid of stepping into the building.
My gaze went up to the sky and I saw the sun fully out brightening the whole place, I sighed in sadness recalling today was school and I had no hope of going out, I can't equally tell the fate of all pack members as the demons have invaded everywhere, they must be treated them all like a slave now.
I hissed silently, wiping the sweat over my forehead, I head into the house with an unsteady step, for real I had become the same slave I treated Lena as.
Silently, I prayed not to meet Kyle or Stan in the sitting room, so I will be able to sneak upstairs to my room, but it seemed everything about my life is bound to s**k so bad at the moment as they were both in the sitting room just like they were waiting for me.
I swallowed the lump in my throat breathing heavily as I dragged my feet upstairs praying they would let me pass away without calling me back, I wasn't looking at their faces as it was another cause of heartbreak, they were the two people I never expected to betray my father and the whole pack, it happened in a rush.
"Hutton!" I heard the voice of Kyle growled just as I placed a leg on the staircase, it made my heart skip a beat and I couldn't come over immediately.
A hot slap slammed through my face hard that I almost fall as the pain was so excruciating,
"How dare you waste a second before answering the call of the King!" The demon guard who just slapped me huffed, and I fluttered my eyes grunting in anger,
The anger in me was pushing me to shift and devour the stupid demon, but I can't, Kyle won't spare me, she cherished every demon like her life and had warned everyone never to fight with them even if they were killing you. "Come over here, you little boy!" She scowled, and I dragged myself to her, standing like a robot, she moved her head and muttered some magic words which triggered some force to hit my head hard bringing it down to a bow, intense pain covered my entire head as I wondered what had hit me so hard like steel, I could feel blood trickled down my head to my face.
"If you are still feeling like an alpha prince or heir to the throne, take that stupid thought of your head because you are a slave now!!..." Always visit FindNovel.net for more novels. Stan blurted and I glanced at him in anger,
"Can you imagine a slave standing upright in front of the King without bowing, gosh!... I would have killed you alongside your father, but It isn't necessary, I want your father to keep watching you from the underworld, he should keep watching how I make your life fill with pain and misery. when he was proving a hero by killing my demons, he never thought of a moment like this..." She paused and burst into a peal of malicious laughter.
"The news would spread around the whole North America, every Werewolf Pack will hear of what you did to my father and wage war on you!!!" I bawled in tears which blinded my eyes.
"Aww...really?...okay I'm shivering in fear now, Stan you heard that?...other packs will wage war In us" she whined with the most sarcastic tone I had ever heard making Stan burst into a hysterical laugh which she also joined in while I bowed to my head watching
them.
I wonder why she was laughing when she should be fretting for real, there was no way she would be able to defeat the whole North America Pack...
"Poor boy, what do you know?..." she sneered and laughed again.
"He is a big-time fool!" Stan chipped in and scoffed at me like I was mad.
"Guess you don't know, I have my demons at the watch, not a single pack member can cross the boundary, I've sent a deadly warning against anyone talking about the Alpha's death or demons invasion, there would be a meeting of the Alphas of the north soon, I am changing my face to that of your useless father, just like this." she cackled and muttered some magic spell,
Right in front of me, her face turned to that of my father, she smirked and transformed back to Kyle, I would just cast the face-changing spell to him, All these don't mean I'm afraid to fight the whole Pack of the north, but it isn't time yet, there is one person I need to kill first, Lena, she has to die, so I'll attain the great powers of the dark world to rule over the universe....when I get this great powers, who are the North America Pack to stand against me!!" Kyle bragged and laughed balefully.
"Why must you kill Lena?" I asked, feeling scared and worried about her all of a sudden.
"You all in this pack are a bunch of fools and never realized the great powers in her, she is a rare hybrid and once she meets her mate and gets marked, they would both become the most powerful creature on earth and I would never allow that, Lucifer must rule over the whole Werewolf kingdom!!!!" She screamed In laughter and stood up abruptly.
"You are going over to the school immediately, you must kill Lena at any given chance!!!" She added.
"I'm not doing that!!...never!.. Instead, I'll tell her all you had....." My voice was hitched as a thick black smoke circled my neck tightly that I couldn't breathe.
"You think you have a choice?...hell no, I own your heart soul and body now, I can control you as I wish!" She fumed, and I kept struggling to free myself which she allowed but just then I felt something like a fog rush into me through every opening in my body, my eyes, nose and ear,
My body system was changing gradually, I could feel my heart turning dark and the more I tried resisting, the more it took possession of me.
"Go and get dressed for school, you will see my demons there, be their leader and together, get me the head of Lena today!" I heard a command in my head and had no power to decline.
"Yes, my Lord, I'll do as you commanded!" I bowed to Kyle and stood up, feeling more powers in me, I had just one thing in my mind, Kill Lena and bring her head to me...
"You don't have to worry about your demon scent, your Werewolf body has covered it all, Lena will never find out whom you had become, use that to lure her into your trap!" I heard the voice again and nodded.
Xander's POV
Finally, the car got to the school and I hopped down quickly without waiting for my driver to open the door,
I was really nervous, sitting beside her in the car especially with the contact our body was making at some sudden swerve of the car,
I had ignored everything she was saying to me and would never look at her face, I had sat at the other edge to avoid her, I was really avoiding her in fear, it was just yesterday since I took her to my Pack to save her life, but less do I knew it would result to this feeling going deeper.
I have read many history books about Alphas who rejected their mate instantly because she was weak and useless, I had vowed to be one of them not knowing how hard it was, it was just so impossible, my heart won't allow me to reject her and at the same time, I still don't want to have a mate.
How would I explain to my foster dad that I couldn't reject my mate, he had depended on me so much, he was cruel, but I was crueler, killing was his hobby, but killing was my nature, for many years, I had never had any reason to be soft, no once ever stood against me and go away alive.
But all that changed since the day I met her, killing had been so easy for me, but it all became damn hard the moment I tried killing her, even before finding out she was my mate, I still couldn't kill her! "Let's go..." She beamed and held my hand, but I wriggled it off and gave her a deadly glare.
"I'll never accept your disobedience...you are my slave right here, try touching me again, and I'll hit you, I swear!" My voice sounded cold and scary as it used to be, but Lena doesn't look afraid.
"Yes, my Lord, I'll do as you say!" She muttered and winked at me with a charming smile.
I hissed and walked away, heading to the class.
"Who are you to Xander?...are you his mate?" I eavesdropped my driver ask Lena even when I had gone far, I guess he underestimated my sharp hearing ability, I got furious and turned back with heavy steps. "Any problem sir?" He asked as he saw me coming for him.
"That question you asked Lena will cause you death!" I growled and snapped his neck in a swift move, leaving Lena gasping in shock.
"You killed him?" She exclaimed with a gaped mouth, I rolled my eyes and walked back to the class.
"Just a warning to you, I am still the ruthless Xander!" I scoffed without glancing at her.
"Will you leave his body...."? She couldn't finish her words before I sped back and gripped her hand, dragging her roughly.
"Don't be annoying!" I seethed.
"But you shouldn't have killed...."
"Shut up!" I warned, as my dark heart took the better part of me.
"He did no." her word was pushed back to her mouth with a slap across her face,
"When I say shut up, you do as I say!" I howled, breathing heavily.
"You slapped me??" She sulked holding her cheek.
"The more you keep acting free around me, the more you endanger yourself, you think it's a blessing being my mate?. I have countless enemies and once they find out you are my mate, I swear, you won't survive their attack, I won't also waste my strength in protecting you, !" I huffed, sneering at her.
Lena's POV
"I have to go and check on the driver, he might not be dead and needs urgent treatment, you shouldn't have hurt him!" I whined with tears in my eyes, I couldn't imagine the driver being killed just like that.
"You can go take care of his dead body, I don't care!" He snorted, released my hand and head over to the class while I rushed back.
"Lena, please help me!!!" I heard a sudden scream in my head making me pause my pace abruptly as I looked around in shock, the voice was that of Hutton, it was school hour and every student was in the class making me wonder where he was.
"Lena, please don't repay me with evil, I'm badly wounded right here in the school garden, come and help me, I promise to be good and never hurt you again, I'm sorry for the wrong I had done!" The voice sounded again, this time it was filled with pain and agony, I could hear deep grunts making my heart race.
There was no way I would allow Hutton to die, he is the son of Linda who saved my life, I have to save her son!!
I shifted into my wolf and sped over to the school garden with adrenaline rushing through me,
"Hutton, stay strong, I'm coming!" I shrieked and increased my pace.
