The Spurned Heir

33

I glanced at the chain and saw it cracked. My brow arched as I wondered what really happened

to me now.

I've never felt this way before, I have never shifted at this length.

Does it mean that as I grow, I will be able to turn into this beast that is inside me??

I was so surprised at the great power I got but one thing I can't understand was the extent of rage that was boiling in me that moment. I was so enraged, so angry and all I wanted was to kill, to tear someone apart with my claws and fangs. When I saw the guards, my anger increased.

Layla, you are weird!

I made a deep sigh shutting my eyes tightly, even if I am a Hybrid, what type of hybrid am I??

I feel so weak now that I can't raise any part of my body.

"Layla, what just happened?" Daciana my wolf

asked and I made a shrug as I got nothing to explain to her.

I am more confused this time.

The door of my room sprang open and ten bodyguards rushed in with the Alpha my father

and Scarlett the Luna. I stared at them without saying anything.

"She shifted into a demon!!!!", the bodyguards who ran away screamed and I scoffed.

"Layla, you turned to a demon now, is that

true?" My father questioned.

"Do I look like someone who turned to a demon?.

I'm being starved, I'm weak!" I shrilled forcing out tears from my eyes.

"You can't fool us!!!"

Scarlett huffed and snatched the whip from one of the bodyguards. She walked few steps towards me, making my heartbeat increased.

She lashed my back hard that it tore my skin. I bit my lower lips tightly promising myself not to cry. I raised my gaze and it fell on her eyes.

"You know you are the demon, just stop all this!!", I huffed to her gritting my teeth, and her expression contorted into a smirk.

"You will be banished very soon, I have plans for you", she whispered back and her voice sent

shrill all over me.

She lashed me again and I winced, my lips quivering. I glanced at my father and he wasn't moved a bit, he just stared at me angrily like he wished to be the one hitting me. Oh God!!,

Why is he so blind, so blind and stupid?? Scarlett was surely going to strike and succeed if it

continues this way. I wish he will finds out before they are all wiped out.

"I'll wipe out everything your mother loved, this pack and Dolph!!!!", She howled into my head making it pound.

I shivered and stared into her eyes only to see it was like a cloud of thick black smoke, her teeth

had fangs, I shut my eyes tightly and sniffed.

"You will not succeed!" I retorted and she laughed

evilly. I opened my eyes and found out I was the only one who can hear it, she was talking

through the mind.

She raised her hand to lash me more hardly, but Hazel walked in at that moment with her brother.

"Mom please let her be!" Hazel screamed making everyone including me turn to her. I am very sure she hates me so how can she save me now?

Is it another trick?

"What are you saying?" Scarlett gruffed.

"Mom, I will be needing her help tomorrow, Noah would be visiting again, this time he would spend more time with me, and i have to serve him a meal. Mom, Dad, we all know no one cooks better than she does in this house. I want the best for my mate", she grumbled.

"She is a demon and would only poison your mate", Dad yelled, leaving me heartbroken.

I hate being called a demon when the real demon stands beside him.

"I didn't want Noah to find out I am not good at cooking, till he marked me", Hazel muttered with a coy smile growing me the urge to hit her hard.

If only she knew she was just been used as a bait or passage way.

They all left.

I took a deep breath and gently laid my back on the wall, allowing it to heal. I closed my eyes trying to take a nap also.

"You heard what I said about cooking for me right?". Hazel entered the room and squatted before me. She growled, and i let out a short laugh.

"Since i am a demon, are you not afraid I'd do something evil to him? And why would you ask for my help in cooking??.... I guess you should do the cooking yourself, so he can see how terrible you are", I smirked and she slapped me angrily. "You are a slave! You've got no choice!!!", she snorted, her face exuding disgust.

"I'll cook for him...",i smiled, amd she sneered at me.

"You won't have to do anything stupid. Your demonic magic won't work. You will have to eat out of it too after cooking, then I'll serve him, and you will return to this disgusting room and chained. Don't even think you'd catch a glimpse of him", she laughed sarcastically.

"Whatever!!", I yelled at her face.

Scarlett's POV,

It was deep late at night when my eyes opened to the scent that filled my nostrils.

I arched my brow and sat up immediately.

"Why are you here, Jericho?", I asked with a raised brow, and then he just appeared in his human form.

"Are you afraid he will get my scent? I have it covered. I am here to pass a message from the Demon King", he said, sitting right on the bed beside me.

"Really??!!... What is it??",I asked curiously.

"The Dragon King visited the clan!", he announced and my heart gripped with fear, jolting from the bed instantly.

I had to cover my mouth to muffle my scream.

"Are you playing me or some kind of prank?", I asked shivering.

"You don't expect me to come all the way here only to play pranks on you. I am here for a serious issue!!", he muttered, standing up too.

"You mean King Liam came to the demon clan? What is the deal? What is his reason for coming?, Please tell me!!!.... I am overly curious now", I gasped, I don't know why I was so afraid.

It is my greatest secret that I don't want him to ever know. I don't want him to find out I have turned into a demon wolf. I can still have the chance to become his wife. It can still happen when he is done weeping for Evelyn. It would be still be possible, but definitely impossible if he finds out I am a demon wolf.

"Why did he come to the demon clan?" I screamed, forgetting and completely ignoring Dolph's presence.

I was lucky. Jericho quickly covered my mouth so as to prevent my mouth from screaming.

"Hey, you should calm down or everything would be spoiled!", he warned, but I wasn't listening to all of that.

I felt like slitting his throat for taking time to tell me the reason Liam had visited the clan. It is rare; he would definitely have a reason.

I felt like gushing tears from eyes...

"You look so disturbed. Is there any secret??", he asked but I hit him across his cheek.

"Please tell me all that happened!!!", I shrieked.

"Okay, King Liam came to clarify the rumour he heard", he sighed deeply.

"What rumour??", I asked abruptly.

"Evelyn was killed by a demon. That was it. He heard rumours that she was killed by a demon and that was why he came to clarify, since he hardly believed gossip", Jericho said, and I plopped down from the couch. "Does he know Evelyn is dead?", I asked and he shrugged.

"I can't tell. He never mentioned if he was sure of her death or not", he added.

"What did the demon king reply to him?", i asked, and his eyes dimmed.

"After investigation, the demon king you were the one and told Liam he would give him a reply", he answered, and I went berserk.

"Is he mad? What investigation? He knows I am the one; why didn't he say it wasn't a demon? Is he considering telling Liam the truth?", I growled deeply.

"You got it right! He wants to tell the Dragon King Liam that you are the one who killed Evelyn!!", He said, and my eyes widened with my lips agape.

"Are you joking with me?", I raised with brow.

"I dare not, since he wants to tell Liam the truth. He sent me a message to give you", Jericho sighed.

"I thought we were on good terms. Why is that asshole still sending me messages when he wants to sell me out?", I yelled and rany hair through my head in frustration.

"I guess he has an idea of your feelings for King Liam", he muttered.

"What about it??", I scowled.

"He wants you", Jericho spoke out, making my jaw drop in shock.

I looked up, gazed my eyes on Jericho, and my eyes fluttered, pinching myself, biting my tongue to make sure I wasn't dreaming since it was already night.

"Damian the Demon King wants you to be his mistress. He wrote a love letter and asked me to bring it down to you. He said he was jealous of your feelings for Liam and promised not to tell him you killed Evelyn only if you promised to marry him", Jericho relayed it, and I fell flat on the bed in disgust and fear.

I can't believe this...

I'll never agree this is true....

"Jericho, please tell me this is a joke. I'll laugh my ass off. Tell me you're joking, just tell me because i can't believe you. I can't believe it is true!!!" I half yelled and felt my heartbeat skipping.

I couldn't think straight. His words resounded in my head, sending streams of anger and sadness through me.

"This is the letter. He said he would keep helping you in every way. He was going to give you more power to destroy this pack as you wished. He would offer all his army just so you can get what your heart desires. He wants you to be happy and can't wait to have you back", he added, shattering my dear heart the more.

Oh, No!!

King Liam is the man I love...

"He has given you a week to make your choice; marry him or he will tell King Liam how you killed Evelyn!!!", he said, disappearing immediately.

Oh Gosh!!!

Does it mean I have no chance to be with King Liam after all the sacrifices I made?...even after killing Evelyn.

"Really!!!", I heard Dolph's voice.

"What?"
