Chapter 41
Xander's
POV
I got into the class and as usual, everywhere became silent like a graveyard, every student stared in silence and fear, the teacher also paused her teaching and waited for me to get to my seat before she went on,
stupid,
I am so angry at Lena now and the reason was making me feel like slapping myself, I am also jealous this time, I was suddenly envious because she went back to check on the driver instead of following me into the class, I love seeing her around me, I know I'm I am aware it sounds crazy like I was going insane but then, it's out of my power,
My gaze was fixed to the door as I waited impatiently for her to walk in and sit beside me, it would be a shock to everyone but, I wasn't concerned about that anymore, I won't be able to bear seeing her sit with someone else. Seeing that Hutton wasn't in school made me quite relieved, at least Lena won't have to go sit with her but me alone.
A deep grunt escaped my throat as I buried my face under the desk, I don't understand myself neither do I understand what would be my fate in the end,
it was risky having a mate especially now that everyone hates and plan evil against me, I would be able to protect myself, but then how would I take care of someone else, that was why I vowed to kill my mate and live my life all alone being the devil everyone dreads?
If only I had known how the feeling was like, Lena seemed to be different in my eyes, I had lived my heart hating and killing ladies, especially those who tries getting close to me in any way but all that wasn't for Lena.
It was close to half an hour since I bent my head to the desk and I haven't felt her presence beside me, with a rush, I raised my head and stared at the door before scanning everyone's seat to know if she has sat with someone else but after my search, she wasn't in the class,
My eyes dilated in shock and anxiety, I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves, maybe she was still grieving over the dead driver but as much as I tried ignoring her, the more I feel a huge burden grow in my heart, I felt so unease and knew she would be in trouble,
"Lena!" I breathed out and sprang up from my desk, the teacher, and students all cringed at my sudden action,
Without glancing at any of them, I stormed out of the class clenching my fist tightly as extreme rage surged through my veins, I was gritting my teeth and was already feeling my beast struggling to come out.
My wolf was so furious that it pleaded for me to shift, so he can devour whoever it was that hurt Lena, the fact that I should hate her or treat her as a slave all vanished away from my head, I was ready to tear apart whoever it was that lay a finger on her. The tension in my heart increased, and it dawned on me that she would be in real pain, without wasting any second, I shifted into my dragon Wolf and bolted to the direction I was smelling her scent.
Lena's POV.
Hot tears flowed down my eyes as I clenched my teeth tightly trying hard not to give up my ghost, I couldn't breathe anymore as my throat was seized tightly by Hutton,
I was wavering my legs which were hung in the air trying hard to free myself, but it was all futile, Hutton had succeeded in tricking me into his trap, I had fallen into it so easily, the call for help was just to get me here where he had demons around waiting to strike
me...
Until now, I still couldn't understand what was going on, the man I was seeing was Hutton but all he did make me doubt he was the one, I had rushed here to help him because I never wanted his death but instead, I was attacked by a legion of demons without giving me a chance to catch a breath,
I had struggled with my wolf but ended up receiving bone-breaking blows that left me crawling for life.
"Hutton, do you want me to die?...they are killing me!!" I had shrilled at him the moment I saw he wasn't wounded but all fine staring at me.
He only laughed and nudged the demons to hit me the more, which they did.
"Go get the tray and sword while I strangle her to death" that was the last words from Hutton before he gripped my neck.
I looked into his eyeballs and shivered at how dark, and deadly it looked, he had been ordering demons around making me wonder what was going on, but I think I would never know before he kills me because now, I am dying for real.
"Hutton, Xander is coming!!!!" One of the Demons sped in and announced to him, causing his grip to leave my neck.
I fell to the ground with a loud thud, breathing heavily and coughing out thick clots of blood.
"He has killed all the demons and would be here soon, he must not see you!!!" The demons added, and Hutton grunted in frustration, glaring at me like he would eat me anytime soon.
"You have to forget my face until I attack again!" Hutton growled at me before bringing out a pill from his pocket, he rushed and pinched my mouth open, I tried not to take whatever it was, but my strength is gone, he pushed the pill into my mouth. "Lena!" I heard Xander call and just then, Hutton disappeared...
I let out a short wail and lost consciousness.
Hutton's POV.
I was so angry and frustrated that I didn't kill her, I felt like I was useless and had failed to do something so important,
it was all planned well and never did I expect Xander to come over for her rescue, it was so confusing, I had made sure the demons outside were strong and could easily kill any student who tried getting in to disrupt the act, how would I have known it would be the almighty Xander that would come to her rescue?
I kept grunting as the dark magic took me straight to the Blue Moon Royal Pack house, I got into the sitting room with the single demon alive, that was the demon who informed me of Xander's arrival.
Staring at the blood in my claws, I regretted not being able to cut off her neck before Xander came, my claws could only dig into the side of her neck.
"The demon king is in the Royal hall..." One of the guards said to me, I nodded and darted away.
Immediately I got in, she sneered at me and the last Demon,
"Where is the tray, the sword, and her head!!" She asked with a scary voice while we bowed immediately.
"Xander came to rescue her before we could cut off her neck, so we had to leave to avoid Hutton's identity revealed" the demon reported before me. Kyle laughed and nodded.
"Alright, nice job, hope you used the memory seal pill on Lena?" She asked.
"Yes, she won't be able to remember my face when she wakes up!" I replied and she grinned evilly.
"Stand up!" She ordered, and I obliged, but then my eyes fell on a beautiful white-haired lady sitting beside Alpha Stan, her stare at me was making my body unease.
That's my daughter" Alpha Stan chipped in as he saw I was looking at her. I shrugged and turned to Kyle.
"Give me a second chance to execute her!" I curtsy but Kyle burst into a loud sarcastic laugh before stretching her right hand to me, just then something dark and foggy spurge out of my whole body, my heart seemed to be released from something I couldn't tell, I growled and fell to the ground,
It was like something demonic left my body and the moment I opened my eyes again, a wave of guilt covered me, I stared at my claws to see blood splattered all over it, I looked around and saw Kyle and Stan on the throne, my kneel was on the floor like I was bowing to them.
I quickly sprang up and moved back while Kyle burst into another laugh, Stan joined.
"Should I give you a second chance to execute Lena?" She smirked, and my eyes widened as it all flashed through my mind, I could see myself trying to kill Lena, I could remember I asked for a second chance. "What did you do to me!!!" I burst into tears, breathing heavily while they laughed the more.
I was in deep sadness at what I had done, what if Lena sees me again and recalled I tried killing her?
Not only that, but I broke down.
"Take him away from here, so he would continue his house chores, I will use him when I need his help." Kyle grinned.
"I'll never do anything evil for you!!" I yelled, and she sneered at me.
"You are my toy already, you almost completed the mission today" Kyle laughed scornfully, making hot tears roll down my eyes profusely.
The guards dragged me away and as they made to head to the door, my eyes fell on the beautiful lady beside Stan and my jaw dropped at what I felt in my heart as our eyes met.
I struggled to look into those eyes some minutes more, but there was no opportunity as the guards pulled me away roughly, I couldn't understand but all I knew was that I craved for her at first sight.
"Now start washing the plates, thereafter, sweep and mop every part of this building, all these would be done hastily, or I'd lash your back!" One of these wicked demons ordered, and I felt like crying,
My stomach grumbled, and I stared at him to check if he heard that, at least that should tell him that I have to eat to have the strength to do all that work all alone, but not seemed he never cared as he nudged me to start,
"I haven't eaten..." the words escaped my lips before I could hold it back, I hadn't eaten since morning and now, I won't still eat before another round of work.
"Oh, you want to eat?" The demon asked, and I nodded continuously, praying he would kindly tell me to go eat, but hell no, the worst happened instead.
He whipped me thrice to my back so hard that I felt my skin tear.
"That's for breakfast, do you want to eat your lunch?" He asked, and I got no courage to say yes, I was already crying for the first hit which hurt like my body was set on fire.
"Now begin." He ordered and raised the whip, I swung into action immediately, I won't want to receive another strike,
I began the endless sweeping and cleaning, it takes a lot of time because the demons kept making the work harder, as they would keep littering and killing people inside the house causing blood to spill and that means another round of work for me.
I was tired and exhausted adding to the fact that I had done something so evil today, Kyle must have used an evil spell on me, I can't just forgive myself, recalling I attacked Lena.
It was evening, before I was done, my head was blank and aching so bad, I was so hungry and exhausted, I kept dragging my legs to my room through the hallways and wasn't thinking straight, my vision was equally blurred.
The t*****e was worse than death.
My feet hit on something and I couldn't retain my stand, I found myself falling so hard, but before I could reach the ground, a female caught hold of me and carried me in her arms into a room, I can't even tell who it was or what room she took me in. But as soon as she lay me on the bed, I opened my eyes a bit and saw her white hair, Alpha Stan's daughter??
