Chapter 102
THE PIERCING SOUND of Miranda's scream reverberated through the dark, damp dungeon and their Alpha groaning in agony with each whiplash inflicted by the brutal Alpha King.

"N-no stop Miranda mittered as her heart pounded in her chest, desperately triying to ma sense of the situation, but all she could do was watch helplessly as her loved ones suffered at the hands of the Alpha King
"You dared harm my wife?" Siegren's deep voice rumbled with a herce growl, his red eyes almost glowing with the intensity of his anger. As he interrogated them, the first and second-in-command of Silver Pack, continued to deny any knowledge of the attack spouting off he after lie in a desperate attempt to save their own lives. But Siegren could see through their deceitful words, especially when one of the surviving warriors had already confessed to Lucian that it was the beta of Silver Pack who had ordered them to attack Helga, and their Alpha himself had been complicit in in carrying out such a despicable plan
"It wasn't us, Your Majesty. I swear on the Moon-agggh!" The beta's voice cracked as he struggled to endure the intense pain. In contrast, the Alpha stayed quiet, clenching his jaw as he accepted his punishment. He had anticipated this outcome when he made the decision to help his beta: was a foolish mistake, but now he could only remain motionless and refrain from speaking.
Stop! Stop hurting my father!" Miranda's screams were drowned out by the sound of her father's flesh being torn apart by the whip. The metallic tang of blood filled her nostrils, threatening to make her sick as she watched him writhe in pain. His body was a canvas of red and black, each lash leaving a new mark on his already battered skin. Miranda fell to her knees, hands over her ears as if trying to block out the horror unfolding before her. But she could still hear her father's agonizing screams, echoing through the cell and piercing her heart with each one. She closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks as she prayed for it all to end. "W-Why are you doing this?! Your Majesty-"
Shut up. Siegren shifted his gaze towards her, his eyes filled with fury as if he was ready to barge into her cell and inflict the same punishment on her for interrupting him. said I d be I I held Ezra must for m-" "Pift" Miranda couldn't move when she caught sight of the Alpha King's laughter before he spun around to fully confront her. A smirk then formed on his mouth, sending a chill down her spine as she gazed up at him. "You really think I'll free you after you shot my wife?" Siegren sipped out from the dark, the dark, musty cell and strode towards Miranda with purpose. With one swift motion, he reached through the bars and grabbed her jaw, pulling it back forcefully. The sound of her pained whimper earned a cruel smile on his lips as he leaned in closer. Her father, witnessing the scene, attempted to intervene, but Lucian swiftly grabbed him by the nape of his neck and forced his face towards the ground. "Here's the thing, Ezra has no intention of waiting for you. Everything he said to you that day was a fabrication... Just a ploy to get you to give us information about the warlock." Siegren let go of her chin and she stumbled backward, her eyes growing wider as she shook her head in disbelief. "Do you honestly believe that incompetent fool could defeat me in a duel? It was comical how easily both of you fooled each other. You two are really destined to be together." He continued to mock her, causing Miranda to feel lightheaded
"No, Ezra would never do that. He won't deceive m
"What makes you so sure? Didn't he already reject you? You've been abandoned."
Miranda's body started trembling as she stared at Siegren in complete disbelief, her mouth hanging open slightly. She 12:45 Fri, Oct 18 ti u Chapter 102
couldn't bring herself to believe everything the Alpha King was shying. After all, she had been patiently waiting for the day when she would finally be freed and reunited with Ezra, ready to start a new life with her maie Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought them back fiercely, refusing to show any signs o vulnerability would mean that she didn't trust Ezra, and she couldn't let the Alpha King sec just trying to emotionally torment her out of anger. ess.

"No." she muttered as she stood up. "Ezra would come back for me and help me get out of here. I'm sure of it... W-we're still married, he hasn't divorced me so he'll surely-
"Oh ri
Oh right.
David." Siegren's sharp voice cut through the air, interrupting Miranda mid-sentence. He turned his head towards his beta, his piercing gaze fixed on him. "What was that report you mentioned earlier?"
The atmosphere around them grew tense as all eyes focused on David. Miranda's heart raced with nervous anticipation as she waited for the beta to respond, assuming it had something to do with Ezra.
"Ezra had been stripped of his role as Alpha in Incarnadine... He was banished and became a rogue." David replied, causing Miranda's heart to drop and tears to spill from her eyes. Even her father, with his widened eyes, couldn't quite believe the words he had just heard. "No, t-that's impossible... He couldn't... No, it can't be." Miranda's voice was trembling, her whole body wracked with overwhelming emotions. Her thoughts spun and tangled in her mind, consumed by the shocking revelation of Ezra being a rogue. The room seemed to spin around her, her vision blurring as she struggled to make sense of it all. Suddenly, her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the cold, unforgiving floor. But amidst the chaos in her mind, she heard a familiar voice that joltrd her back to reality.
that true?" All eyes turned to Helga as she suddenly appeared. Siegren, who was holding the whip, visibly flinched and quickly made her way over to Helga.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be resting." he said, concerned that she might be upset once she saw what kind of punishment he had done with the beta and Alpha of the Silver pack. However, Helga seemed unfazed; after all, she was aware of Siegren's brutal methods of punishing those who defied him.
She even surveyed the beaten bodies of the silver pack's beta and Alpha, their cuts oozing with blood. Normally, she would have felt a pang of sympathy for them and their unfortunate situation, but after what they had done to her, all pity had vanished. She wanted nothing more than to rip them apart for daring to attack her. It was like Miranda's betrayal wasn't enough; they had to get involved too. It was simply foolish. They should be feeling remorse, not some kind of pathetic
revenge.
"I'm fine. I just want to see them face the consequences of their actions," she replied as she redirected her focus to Siegren who was clearly suprised by her response. He hadn't expected that to be her reason. He had already noticed it before, but Helga has really a dark side to her, a hidden side that only shows itself if provoked or needs to be unleashed in order to protect her and her loved ones.
"But what I heard earlier about Ezra being a rogue, is that true? Helga double-checked, needing to hear it again even though David had just said it moments ago and she heard it loud and clear.
"That's right. David informed me about as soon as I reached the entrance of the dungeon. Siegren replied, recalling the awkward David was while reporting. He had explained that he wanted to report about the matter earlier when he knocked on his chambers but didn't want to continue because he knew he was interrupting the King and Queen's time together However, Siegren wasn't entirely surprised by the report; deep down, he knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. The Incarnadine pack had always been a prestigious and influential one for generations, but Ezra's impulsive actions showed that a change in leadership was necessary
"Ezra was now wandering rogue, a fitting karma for a trash like himself," Siegren added, his gaze never leaving Helga's unreadable expression as he pulled her close by the waist, "Do you see now? All those who have wronged you will finally receive the consequences they deserv
