The Spurned Heir

I hurried down to the sitting room and for real, Oliver was standing there waiting for me, seeing him made me so happy.

At first, I did not believe the guard, this was the last thing I expected but I guess Oliver had heard what was going on and decided to rescue his father from me.

"Oliver, you are back finally?" I smirked and he nodded with a yelp looking around the whole building.

"Where is my father?" He asked still looking around,

"Your father??... Oh you mean the Alpha?... he is in the dungeon;" I replied with a short laugh, his brow furrowed.

"Do you get my word??...I asked about the Alpha and not Layla, and what are these demons doing here?", He asked innocently making me doubt if he knew all that had happened. "Where had you been?...you ran away from the battle then why come back?" I asked and he scoffed waking over to the couch to sit down.

"Don't dare sit there, no need to rest or feel for him because you are dying tomorrow", I stated bluntly, making him turn sharply towards me.

"What did you say?", he asked with a raised brow.

"You heard me right. I am so happy you returned. It is a brave act. Dying with your family never other than running away into bidding is heroic", i laughed as i walked closer to me.

"Scarlett, what are you saying?...What the hell is going on?...Is Layla correct when she says you are a demon? All these Demons around the Royal house, are they your colleagues? Scarlett!!!", He called out in shock, making me laugh.

"I don't have time to explain anything, I am a demon, a head demon, more powerful than anything you can think of, don't fight me because I'll break your bones, and I'm here to avenge what Evelyn did to me...", I paused and grab his collar while he tried releasing himself.

With full force, i pushed him to the wall so hard that his head bled at the slam.

"I owe no one any explanation. Listen!, I am not your mother, neither am i Dolph's mate. I came here for one thing and that is to wipe you all out. I am a winner already, you just showed up and would be dying with them, so get ready", I croaked.

"When did you turn into a demon because the woman i knew can't hurt a fly?", he breathed, getting me pissed up.

"Beat him up!", i commanded the demons around me.

"After that, tie him up and keep him right beside his father. They should both see how useless they are, like father like son", I said, laughing hardly away into my room. I should get enough rest for tomorrow, a day when I'll wipe out one of the greatest packs.

It would surely be adventurous.

*****

Dolph's POV,

I was about to shut my eyes to sleep when the door opened up only for me to look up and see my son, who i hoped would be dragged in after being thoroughly beaten.

It was like my heart was being shattered with a heavy metallic object. I felt exhausted. It was over for real. It was surely going to happen.

After so many years, for real? The Shadow Pack is ending shamefully,

Hot tears covered my eyes, making my vision blurred. He was tied just the same way as me. How did they find him?

Just then, he looked at me, and I heard his weak voice inside me as he mind-linked,

"Dad, there is a hope of a survivor", he mumbled, making me arch a brow; it was clear that all hope was gone; it was already night, and she would begin killing the next day. No neighboring pack joins the fight with any pack fighting the demons.

"Stop giving me silly hopes. How did they find you?", I mind linked back to him, feeling very weak at it since i got no or fewer powers.

"I

I gave myself to them", he said, and my eyes widened.

"What the hell!!!", i huffed, but seeing him smile made me calm down as i wondered what his plan was.

"Tell me why you did it, because I don't know my being as foolish. There must be a reason", i breathed deeply.

"If i win, she will kill the entire pack and me; if i lose, she will not kill anyone but return to the demon clan with her legion of demons", he said and I sneered at him.

I had to check if he was in his right senses; maybe he was drugged.

"Are you drugged or partly insane?...how on Earth is this a good plan?...Scarlett will kill you and your wolf in one second. It would be more shameful. Didn't you think of something else? This is a foolish act!", I growled. "That's why I chose it. She would then accept and Layla would get the chance to be released, her mind would be away from her, giving the dragon woman the chance to open that door", he muttered, leaving me confused. "Dragon woman?...who is the Dragon woman?", i asked, but he shrugged and grunted.

"I need to sleep and bear these pains for tomorrow. I don't know if I'll survive before she is able to save Layla and Noah, but then, I'll gladly die if that is the only way Layla and Noah would be free and fight Scarlett for us", he exhaled, dozing off...

I shut my eyes and grit my teeth. I'm confused about who the dragon woman is and her ability to open the door, but I only pray for it to work out. If only Layla could come out with her lover, Noah, then Scarlett would be destroyed.

King Liam's POV,

I lay on my bed facing the ceiling, tracing every single line there with my eyes as i drowned in deep thought. I kept thinking of what Evelyn felt about me,

Like all those times we shared those sweet and romantic moments, she didn't love me or what?

Why on Earth would she not want me to know where she is this much that she took the maiden away? The very fact that she is alive was ripping my heart off. I had once thought she was dead and now knowing she is alive and doesn't want to see me is something that made me feel like crying.

Just then, a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in!!!", i sighed without caring to see who is at the door.

My messenger entered as he handed me the letter.

I opened it and frowned at what I saw there.

It just said Dolph was joking and that is something i dont believe. Something is wrong. I would have waved it off without much care if it wasn't related to my hybrid power.

Do you know what it means that someone has got the same hybrid powers as me? I desperately need to check on him; who knows, he could be related to Evelyn and the child i received.

I said, i will be going there, but it won't be tomorrow.

"The day after tomorrow we would go to the Shadow pack in disguise. I need to find out who that guy is by myself since Dolph wants to keep it a secret", i gruffed and he bowed.

"But, you don't have to stress yourself. I can go there and spy. I can arrange other dragon men to do it. We will give you whatever information gathered", he suggested and i breathed. The room became gloomy and lonely once more.

I can recall that night, right here one this bed, Evelyn lay with me...

Oh God.

Evelyn, What exactly is my crime?

Trump's POV,

I stepped out of my room and headed out of the mansion. I'm going to Shadow pack this night. I can't leave a stone unturned. I can't let all my desires get flopped.

After finding out that Liam has a child and also getting the news from the Shadow pack about someone who got the same hybrid powers, i got no rest.

If Liam visits that pack tomorrow, i need to reach there first and find out who that guy is. Who knows, maybe he might be Liam's son. If i ever notice any resemblance between him and Evelyn or Liam, i won't let him live.

At high speed, I flashed to the outside world of the werewolves. Why the hell would King Liam get a child after losing all hope? He was cursed to have no children. I can't believe Evelyn broke the curse and had a child for him, meaning I won't be the next heir.

Shit!

I finally got out and traced the pack. It was a long journey but I never relented. I got there at last but i was shocked at what i saw. The pack was almost ruined with demon scent all over the place, the atmosphere was full of dark magic. My gaze darted around as I walked closer and closer, hoping to get a better look inside.

Just then, a strong force gripped me. I tried releasing myself but i couldn't go further as the strange scent filled my nostrils and i fainted.

My eyes opened and everywhere was wuite blurry, but I could notice a face staring at me. I fluttered my eyes and took a deep breath before opening again.

"What??!!!", I gasped in shock at who I saw in front of me.

Scarlett?

"Scarlett!!!", I called out stunningly, and she arched her brow.

"Your face looks familiar and I've been wondering how I knew you; what relationship did we have?", she asked.

I introduced myself, which elicited a wide eyes and yelp from her.

"Yes!...I recall!....", she snapped her finger, squinting at me.

"Why were you lurking around the pack late at night and the force dragged you in? Did King Liam send you on a mission?", she asked, scrutinizing me from head to toe, but i was just so confused.

"Is this the Shadow pack?", I asked, still looking around as I couldn't see the Alpha or his family members, around me were demons instead of werewolves.

"Reply to my question first!", she huffed, sitting on the chair beside me.

"Scarlett, are you a demon now?", i asked, peering at her.

"How is King Liam? Tell me about my lover; that's all my ears are itching to hear", she breathed.

"How do you become a De...",

"Shut up and tell me how Liam is faring!!!", she cut me up with a hot slap, which made my lips quiver. My eyes widened in shock.

"I'm sorry. Tell me what I want to hear and I'll reply to yours too", she hissed, still waiting for my reply.

I looked around and felt her scent oozing out. She was just like the Demon King, making fear grip me.

"I'm here to find out who the person with Liam's power is", I muttered.

"Why?", she asked.

"A maiden and good friend to Evelyn made it known that King Liam has a child, so i want to find out if he is Liam's son", I disclosed.

"Why didn't you want to meet him? So you will take him, thinking Liam, right?", she howled.

"Never! I'm here to kill him if he is Liam's son...I don't want him to have a son, which would kill my chance to become the next Dragon king", i huffed.

"Is that why you disturbed my sleep?... the man isn't Liam's son, his child is Layla. Can you kill her for me?", she asked, and i arched my brows.

"Yes, I can!", I squealed, feeling elated.

Scarlett's POV,

"Is King Liam still thinking about Evelyn?", i asked with a deep frown.

"Yes, so deep. He is obsessed and doesn't think of any other thing that her, especially now that he learns that she has a child for him. No one knows if she is dead or not. Is she dead?", he asked.

I smiled and took a ring from my pocket, placing it on my left pinky finger ...

"What!!!", he exclaimed as he saw my face change into that of Evelyn.

"You look exactly like Evelyn!!!", he shouted in shock.

I pulled it off and got my real face.

"Then I'll send you a message. What you have to do is to tell King Liam that Evelyn is fully alive and waiting to meet him someday. After i destroy this pack, the Demon King will request my hand in marriage. Then I'll send you a message, What you have to do is to tell King Liam that Evelyn was held captive in the Demon Clan", i relayed while he stared dumbly.

"Do you get me?", i asked loudly, and he nodded slowly.

"You want to use the magic to change your face before King Liam? It was true, the rumour of a demon who fought with Evelyn was true. You are the demon?!". He asked, and I scoffed.

"That isn't what you should be saying man. Stop dwelling on the past; Evelyn is a lost soul!", I sawthed.

"I'll do as you say. Just let me kill Layla tomorrow", he sighed and i nodded with a huge smile.

"Oh yes, it's only the dragon power that can kill her. I'll let you destroy her soul tomorrow. The same day I'll ruin this pack, then you'll tell the Alpha you saw Evelyn in the demon held as a slave. I'll have my new face of Evelyn. I want him to defeat the demon clan for me!!", I smirked.

"But the demon clan helped you get all these powers. Why bite the finger that fed you?", he asked, and i scoffed at his silly words.

"If you dare to disobey or go against all i said to you, i won't hesitate to kill you", I threatened, and he chuckled.

"How can you kill me that easily?", he asked with a smug look,

"My scorpion is inside you, I can control it with my eyes, it will sting you to death if you ever play any trick", I said, moving my eyes. He screamed, and I laughed.

"What was that sharp pain?", he asked with a deep breath while i laughed again.

I walked back to my room feeling on top of the world, Everything was just going perfectly. I was undefeatable.
