Alpha King of Water

THE PUNISHMENT

ALPHA JACE’S POV

“What the hell happened!” My jaw was clenched as my guards reported.

I was pursuing the House Of Venom. They gave me the details that they attacked the House Of Karl, their races were now gone. My madness increased when I knew that the one who slay them all was Zarya and King Water, which means Zarya was involved in one of the most powerful. It could be. She gathered different titles, especially the Great Beta. It was hard to obtain and having that kind of position meant people would respect her and follow her just like royalty.

I held my forehead as I sat on my throne. Most of the time, Heba was here beside me to talk about his suggestion or a good plan to do. Now, he was not here, he was with Haya. The reason why I kept them, I did not want them to be involved in the battle, especially Haya. Two of my ladies died, my third should be hidden. I would go back to them once I won the war.

However, even if I ground my brain cells, I could not think clearly. My head was always finding them. It was difficult to sleep at night without Haya beside me and I opened my eyes in the morning without Heba who would give me my tea. Sometimes, I thought of stopping this. All of this and just live normally with Haya, produce a child, and be happy. Nevertheless, I could see my people. They were all depending on my command. They were eager to destroy the Elemental Kingdom. I should join them until we taste victory. They all had reasons why and I must respect it as their decision was final.

“Alpha.” One of the women offered me a stick of rabbit. “You haven’t eaten since Haya left.”

I did not respond to her words. I grabbed it and ate silently. I thought she would leave, but she sat beside me. I managed to avoid looking at her hair. It was blonde, reminding me of Ven.

“Pardon me, Alpha… but why are you doing this?”

I was not too rude for an alpha to answer. Also, I had a mouth to use in speaking, so I replied. “Someone’s died.”

“Maybe they’re important to you? Of course… they are. You won’t come this far if they weren’t.” She was getting noisy, but her nouse was not causing irritation to me.

“Your name?”

“Ven, Alpha.”

I froze as my eyes bulged. I stared at her for so long, examining if she was telling me the truth. I concluded that she was serious. Her features were different from Ven, but she reminded me of her by the color of her hair and her name.

“My family and friends call me Ven, but my real name is Venissa. Mom gave me that name.” She sat beside me.

“Where is your family?”

“I don’t know. When an unknown pack attacked our pack, they just disappeared. I have hope that they’re alive.”

“We’ll find them.” I stood up and was about to leave her when she held my hand. I gazed at it, so she removed her touch on mine.

“Apology, Alpha. You… didn’t finish your food?”

I came back to eat all of it and then walked away. She followed me. “If you need someone to warm your night-”

“Why are you doing this?”

She looked down and intertwined her hands. “For survival.”

“You’re safe in my ruling.”

“No…” She started to sob. I was curious why she was crying. “Alpha, just bring me with you. Wherever you go… I’ll do what you wish. Just don’t leave me alone.”

I could see that there was a deep reason why she was acting like that. Even if Prince Jace five years ago died, he stayed inside me, teaching me morals and pity could be felt.

“I will only hear the truth. Begin.” I commanded her.

Her cry became severe as she talked. “Those guards… those guards from the women’s tent… they’re…” She tried to speak so well, but she failed. Her voice was stuttering in fear. “They’re abusing women… I am one of them.”

I was startled, but it could not be seen through my expression.

“Where are they?”

“At the… women’s tent.”

No doubt. I marched towards the tent. I was so livid that I could not wait to kill them. My order was to protect the women in the tents, not to abuse them behind my back.

When I reached the area, my kick landed on the leader. I shifted into my wolf form and bit every inch of their meat. It shocked me that I witnessed what they were doing to the ladies.

As my fang buried into their necks, no one tried to fight or stop me. I am the Alpha of this pack. I gathered all of them. My command should always come first.

How can my pack be a safe zone to live in when the wolves inside it bring harm? It doesn’t make sense.

I bit each of them until their skins were peeling and scattered around. I could not hear how loud their pleas and shouts were. I was drowned in my anger. Their organs were spreading on the soil when I was finished.

I shifted into my human form. I was bathing with blood, the circle part of my mouth had a red stain, and my hands-all over me.

“If you can’t obey my rules! Then, die!”

They all shivered while gazing at me. “We shouldn’t eat our own meat! We’re family here! Understand that? Anyone who committed these filthy moves will be punished by death!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The silence filled the area. They looked down, meaning they were agreeing with me. I felt like I was facing strangers in one blink of an eye. The real black wolves were all dead, except for me and Heba. In this situation, I was alone with my pure blood.

The truth is… I don’t know them all.

When I glanced at Ven, all of the pain and anger came back to my heart. The reason why I did all I have done.

We should begin the battle as quickly as we can.
