The Spurned Heir

Our eyes locked and I could swear I felt the strong pull that drew me to her, I felt so attracted to her that her pain was becoming my pain, the sadness in her eyes was hurting me and all I craved for was her happiness, I found myself getting so attached in a way that I couldn't just understand... Her scent filled my nostril making me shiver, the scent was so sweet, so heartwarming, it made me feel the way I have never felt before, I wished I could walk up to her and hug her close to my body, I just wished I can kiss and take her home, all those were mere wishes because I couldn't even stand up, Dad gaze was on me and it was eating me deeply, it was freaking me out, I don't need a soothsayer to know what would befall me if I got close to the daughter of Kellen. "We caught her in the kitchen just as Scarlett guessed, she was about putting the poison into the food," one of the guards said with a deep growl as they bowed, Everyone cringed in shock with both eyes widened, I was more shocked, I was more stunned at the news, what did the guard just say??? My mate trying to poison everyone?? I couldn't believe that, There was great anger and rage in the eyes of alpha Kellen and I could see all he wanted was to kill the young girl, "They are lying!..it's all lies, I swear, I can't kill, I've never killed, how would I want to kill my father and everyone here, I'm not a demon!" She cried pleading to everyone, I felt my heart twitch, I felt deep pain and sadness covered me. She was pleading to everyone trying so hard to make them believe her as she could see them all angry and shocked at the same time, they were all glaring at her holding their self from pouncing on her, she was in real tears pleading...

Her eyes got to mine again and I flinched, she also paused with her lips whimpering, "Sir, I hope you don't also believe their lies, I'm innocent and can't even hurt a fly" I heard her voice in me...

My eyes widened with my mouth agape, she just made a mind link to me? I swear her voice was so sweet and soothing... "I believe you, I know you are Innocent!" I replied in my mind and she smiled... "That's my mate!" I heard my wolf scream so loud that I almost got deaf, I could feel the happiness it had seen a mate after so many years, we were already losing hope and dad had told me I wasn't given a mate, I could also feel her wolf leap for joy too, Just then, a loud slap landed on her cheek and she fell flat on the floor... "She even got the time to smile at her crush??..

I can't believe this!" Everyone murmured as the guard hit her like she was a non-living thing, "Stop!" The alpha Kellen ordered and stood up... "That demon over there wants us all dead, what should we do?..please it is part of why I called this gathering, I want you all to tell me what to do to her, the sorcerer had told us she is from the demon clan, I'm afraid she might kill my entire family..." He spoke out with detest and disgust in his voice... "Isn't she our daughter?" I asked abruptly and he scoffed and spit out... "She is never and will never!!..

I have disowned her after finding out she isn't from my gene, I'm sure she must have come in this form to accomplish her evil mission!" He growled. I made to attest again when Dad raised his brow at me angrily, I sighed and paused, Dad turned back at Kellen and I could see the hatred in his eyes, he was just actually there for a reason, he wasn't here for the enjoyment, he wants to find the best way to destroy the pack, that is just one thing he desired so much... I yelped and buried my face into my palm, my heart was heavy now and I feel my eyes getting wet... "The best is caging her forever!..never allow her out, that way, you will know when she tries hurting anyone and anytime she tries turning to the demon she is, we would be able to destroy her, also, she should be starved regularly so she won't be able to have the strength to shift..." Scarlett suggested and I cringed staring at her in utmost shock...

My eyes roamed around and I saw everyone smile nodding their head, it struck me so hard, my whole body quivered, I felt my heart pierced, "That's the best treatment for her, we can't allow the demon to defeat us!' one of the alpha present huffed and everyone concurred... "Have I ever hurt anyone??..

Scarlett tells me where I wronged you!' she cried and couldn't even say more because the beta rushed at her with a heavy blow that left her sprawling on the ground spitting out blood, "You dared to call her by her name??...are you mad?!" He howled and kicked her belly, I quickly stood up and took two steps forward to save her, I couldn't just bear it any longer, it was killing me seeing my mate being treated that way, but couldn't go any further before Dad grabbed my hand... "We would be leaving, something urgent came up!" He said to Alpha Dolph Kellen with a forced smile... "Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't serve any...." "Oh, it's alright, take care!" Dad cut his word and walked out hastily dragging me with him... I heard the sound of the whip and turned only to see it was lashed on the poor girl, I grit my teeth in anger and rage, my heart boiled in fury, I wished dad wasn't here, I would have torn those guards into two... Immediately we got out of the building to the countryside, "Dad that girl...." I tried talking but couldn't finish my word before he sent two punches directly to my face grabbing my collar roughly he dragged me up from the ground..
