Alpha Dominic
Chapter 151

Still Dominic's POV

At the order of the king, we were roughly thrown into the dungeon by his lycan warriors and the gates were shut firmly. The dungeon is just as I remembered, we were thrown into different cells on the same block. The guards searched us for hidden weapons or anything that we could use and try to escape, but they couldn't replace anything with us because we weren't packing any. I let them him and my generals as they please, I felt the urge to punch their faces so hard that they lose a few teeth. But I curbed my anger and let them get away with it, I need them to believe that I have given up on this war. Their ego will be fed and they will celebrate their victory, they will think that they have finally won this war. They will be too busy celebrating their victory, they won't see what is coming for them.

Declan had told us to lay low for a while because it would take a couple of hours for his trusted warriors to get to us. His father is a paranoid bastard, he may look as if he believes our story, but that doesn't mean that he will let his guard down. He will keep a close eye on us, he won't give us a chance to escape, he will keep tabs on us every f*****g minute. Although I wonder why he had taken Lorenzo to another room. As far as I know, he hasn't had any encounter with Lorenzo, I mean, he doesn't even know the guy. Apart from the fact that he wants to get rid of him and take his place as the Mafia Lord, I can confidently say that he has absolutely nothing to say to the guy. Except he wants to t*****e him and replace out why we are here, in which case I wouldn't be wrong if I say that we are all screwed. Lorenzo and a few of his boys are the only humans in our midst. If Lorenzo is tortured by a Lycan, he would not be able to withstand the pain. He would break, and he would tell him everything he wants to know. It would be even worse if he uses some of the black magic on him. I know about the charms he uses on women, I have no idea if he has gotten something that would work on humans as well. With king Ashford, you really can't tell, we have no idea what he is capable of, I just have to wait and pray that Declan and his guys replace a way to get us out of this dungeon before kind Ashford gets into Lorenzo's head and breaks his resolve.

"What if it is all a ruse, what if he tricked us into coming to this awful place, what the hell are we going to do?" Carl asked n panic, sounding a bit nervous.

"Let's not dwell on the what ifs, that would only distract us from the task at hand. Very soon, that door will be pushed open and Declan would come in to get us out oh here, I need your heads in the game when the time comes. That is the only way we are getting out of here with our lives. Stay focused and wait for Declan, I trust the kid and I want you all to trust him as well. He will be here." I responded firmly, leaving no room for arguments.

"I'm sorry Dom, I just hate being locked up in a cage. It brings back painful memories that I don't want to relive." He muttered softly, making me sigh in frustration. It's obvious that the bad memories that he is talking about are when I had him locked up and tortured because of Bethany. Gosh, it seems like it was only yesterday that I was searching every city, trying to replace Bethany. Now I finally found her, I finally had my chance to claim and mark her, but I blew it, I f*****g ruined it and now we are all in this s**t because of my mistakes. It's a lot of burdens to bear, it's a lot for one person to handle. I just hope It is not a trap like Carl had suggested. It would be a shame if I let king Ashford win this war. The door pushed open and I sighed in relief because I thought that it was Declan and his guys, but it turned out to be the same warriors that had brought us here. I was very disappointed and I nearly snapped at the f*****g i***t, but I had to hold back once more so I don't give them a reason to doubt my motives for being here. "The King requests your presence." The leader let out fiercely before opening the gate to my dungeon. I was dragged out of the dungeon and taken to another section of the dungeon. Judging by the many dangerous tools on the nearby table, I'm guessing that this is his torture chambers, I have one exactly like this in my Castle. Lorenzo is here as well, he is strapped to a chair, and his hands and legs were spread apart and tired separately. His head was banging low, I'm guessing that he was knocked unconscious by one of the lycan warriors. But then not the main issue, that is not what is bothering me. I am bothered by all this, I don't know what Lorenzo has said to King Ashford, I don't know why he brought me to his t*****e chamber and the thought of what might happen to us is enough to make me nervous.

"Hey...

Pssst... pssst...

Lorenzo wakes up...

Look, man, you need to wake up right now..." I called out to him, trying to get him to regain consciousness, but he wasn't responding to me, he didn't even twitch or move a morsel. I checked around for any hidden cameras, and when I didn't see any. I wanted to try and pull my seat and get to his position, but I stopped when the door swung open and King Ashford walked in, looking like an astronaut or a lab technician, I really can't say.

"Forgive my outfit, Dom. You have always advised me to improve my fashion, that is why I do not wish to soil my outfit with his blood." King Ashford let out calmly, smiling evilly like the evil villain that he is.

"I'm here, Ash, I'm right here with you. We can settle this between us, please let him go, let them all go. I'm their king, I started all this. Just let them go and take me." I pleaded with him, but he wasn't listening to me. He wasn't paying attention to what I'm saying. He walked over to Lorenzo and he hit him hard across his face, making him jerk awake immediately.

"First of all, I need you to always remember that you are not a king. I am the one true king, I am the king of all wolves. Secondly, you seem to be forgetting that I made you a promise. I told you I will take away everything you love, didn't I?

I'm quite surprised that Lorenzo agreed to follow you on this suicide mission. I have always thought that he was smarter than this, but I guess I was wrong. He is just as stupid as you are, he is even more stupid than you are because he just came here to die for nothing. I have been looking for him for years, but you just delivered him to me with ease. Thanks, Dom, it seems like you would always be my warrior whether you like it or not. Why don't sit tight and enjoy this show?" he let out mockingly, smiling evilly at me. I watched as he took a Straight-bladed Mayo scissors that is designed for cutting body tissues near the surface of a wound. He plunged it into his big toenails and pulled at it very hard, pulling out his finger slowly and painfully.

"Arrrrrrrrrggggggg," Lorenzo screamed at the top of his voice as his toe bleeds profusely. King Ashford did not stop, he just kept pulling out his toenails one after the other, smiling as he did it. The sight was just repulsive, I yelled at him, telling him to stop, begging him to take me instead. But he didn't stop, he knows that Lorenzo is human, Lorenzo would not heal as fast as we do, yet he pulled out his fingers one after the other, making him scream in pain.

"You know exactly what I want, Capo. Give me what I want, and I'll stop pulling out your nails. But if you keep being stubborn, I may be tempted to start clipping your fingers as well." King Ashford told him as he moved over to his hands and started pulling out his fingernail, uprooting all his nails. I don't know what he wants from Lorenzo, but it's obvious that he is ready to do anything to get what he wants from the guy. He called him Capo, his Mafia title. So I'm guessing that whatever wants is connected to his evil plans and I stupidly brought Lorenzo to his doorsteps and now I'm leaving him to the mercy of this lunatic. I couldn't let him continue with this, I had to stop him before he breaks this guy.

"You coward!" I yelled at him angrily, making his head snap in my direction as he glared at me.

"You keep hiding behind your warriors and your black magic because you know you can never defeat me otherwise. You are nothing but a coward, and if you want to fight someone, why don't you pick someone your own size, why can't you face me and see if I won't rip off your head." I threatened sternly, making him laugh out hysterically as he walked toward me in a dramatic motion, acting like the clown that he is. "We did that once, remember?

You ran away when you couldn't defeat me and you ran into exile. That is how your revolution began, remember?" he yelled at me while glaring at me furiously. "No, Ash. This is different. This time I am challenging you openly and I demand a combat."
