Chapter 7 

Xander 

I have never seen a woman as stubborn as the new toy. By now, the guards should have come to report how she collapsed under the rain or how she kept on pleading all night for me to take pity on her, but there was nothing. 

Perhaps, leaving her in the rain all night long is not enough punishment. 

“Anyone there?” I called out and a guard rushed in with two maids. 

“What is the girl doing?” 

“Nothing sir. She is still tied to the tree. Although she looked like she could pass out any moment, she hasn’t said a word too,” the guard said, making my stomach fumed with 

anger. 

That bitch! Is she trying to tell me that I cannot break her? Is that it? Well then, I shall become her worst nightmare. Let’s see if her strong will could make her last for six months without breaking. 

“Send Lord Williams over, I commanded, and the guard disappeared immediately. 

I couldn’t help but wonder why someone with such a petite body would not only dare to defy my order but also get under my skin. One thing was certain. Where she is from she hadn’t heard enough news about me. 

A few minutes later, Lord William appeared by the doorstep and I signaled for him to 

come in. 

“You sent for me, sire.” He bowed to show his respect. 

“Have a seat,” I said and he gave me a grateful smile. 

“I am sorry that I haven’t come sooner to greet you since I arrived. I needed a little time to settle down, Sire,” Lord Willimas said and I nodded. 

“The last journey mustn’t have been an easy one, I suppose Isip my tea and Lord Williams has his eyes fixed on the floor. 

“I wouldn’t say so, Alpha,” he smiled nervously. 

“Where did you find that girl?” I finally asked the question that had been lingering in my mind but I didn’t miss the way Lord Williams’s hands trembled on his lap despite his composed expression. 

Chapter 7 

If Lord Williams knows how to humble himself before me, how dare a mere slave to disobey my order? 

“She is from the Greenwood pack, Alpha. Prince Kane decided to use her to seal our deal and since she was his mate, I thought it wasn’t a bad idea, my king.” He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. 

“You thought? I didn’t realize you do all the thinking now and make decisions by yourself,” I glared at him and he looked everywhere else but my face. 

“Did you bother to examine her at all? Why would you buy someone that lacks in every manner?” I hissed at the reminder of how she broke my expensive flower vase. 

The vase is a rare one that was sent to me by an old friend and that idiot thinks that I’d spare her after insulting me like that? She must think she has the moon goddess behind her to be so confident. 

“I… I’m- I apologize, Alpha. I didn’t realize she would turn out that way,” Lord Williams went on his knee as he pleaded for forgiveness. 

“I saw how Prince Kane spoke to her and she looked like an obedient one. I didn’t realize she would be rebellious once she got here and caused you troubles. Please forgive me, Alpha.” 

Lord Williams has never made a mistake or failed me before so I guess I could spare him just but then again, I wasn’t known to be a forgiving one. Am I now? 

sonce, 

“As much as I am angry at that ungodly behavior of hers, there is something that pulls me towards her. I have the urge to break her bones, to destroy the wings she thinks she has and leave her vulnerable, just like the others,” I smirked at the thought and Lord Williams swallowed the lumps in his throat. 

I guess everyone knows what it means when I have a fixation on someone. I don’t know what this is about, yet, but I bet it would be interesting. I’d enjoy breaking her into pieces and watching how she struggles to pick her pieces together but once I am done with her, that would be utterly impossible. 

get rid of “If it is not too much to ask, can you give me a chance to redeem myself and get this girl? I will make her disappear without a trace,” he assured me and I know him well enough to know he would do that, but what is the fun in that? 

“There won’t be a need for that. Since she is already here, I will have to deal with her by myself,” I dismissed his thoughts before he could say anything further and he nodded. 

“Of course, Alpha. Is there anything else you would like me to do for you?” He asked

Chapter 7 

and I thought about it for a while. 

“The elders. I gave them until today to find a solution. I believe they should have come up with something by now. Gather them in the hall and send someone once they are all here,” I ordered and he nodded. 

“Yes, Alpha.” 

Lord Willimas finally stood up from the floor and I watched how he walked to the door before stopping him again. 

“One more thing,” I let out, making him turn to face me. 

“Prepare the girl for tonight because I will be visiting her again. I expect her to be in her right state of mind when I get there. Force manners into her head if you must. I cannot deal with disrespect anymore.” 

“Yes, Alpha.” 

Lord Williams left my chamber but I didn’t miss the way his muscle relaxed as he finally got to leave without any more questioning, 

I spent the rest of the day reading the report that was sent to me. As usual, there was nothing interesting and all I was seeing was mere disappointment. 

“Do these people ever learn?” I sighed as I threw the papers away after reading just a line in each report. 

“Alpha, the elders are gathered in the hall.” A maid came to announce and I stood up to hear what nonsense they had to say this time. 

I went to join them in the hall but the panic in their eyes was all I needed to know that they still don’t have answers. 

“Elders, I believe you all are prepared for this. Let’s not waste our time and get straight to the point, I announced, ignoring their attempts to show respect. 

“Elders?” I called out again and they fell on their feet. 

“Forgive us, Alpha, but this is taking more than-” 

“What did I tell you about excuses? Shall I give your work to a more capable person to see if it was really time consuming or you are just lazy?” I frowned. 

“Pardon us, Alpha.” They said in unison. 

Chapter 7 

“You have two days. Give me what I want or you can kiss your titles goodbye.” 

I stormed out of the hall angrily and met Rosalie on my way out. 

“Alpha, we have done the needful with the girl,” she said and I nodded. I made my way into the room with the intention of teaching her a lesson. 

Luckily for her, I was in a bad mood and now she will have to endure all my frustration. 

I pushed the door open and saw her laying on the bed with her hands and legs tied to the edge of the bed as I had instructed. 

Now, she will have to learn her lesson the har
