Alpha Dominic
Chapter 89

Still Bethany's POV

"Dad, have you ever hit mom, when did you become this mean, why would you hurt her?" I asked him sternly when we got into the room. He treats her like a f*****g nobody, he has no respect and no regard for anyone, all he cares about is his stupid Alpha title. I want to ask him if he really tried to sell me off to Dominic, but that would only get me in trouble, I can't afford to get on his bad side. I don't know him anyway, I don't know what he is capable of. For all I know he could decide to kill me right here and pass it off as an accident. He could even kill my mom and my sister if they try to expose him. That is just how monstrous he is.

"Why dad, why are you so mean, why did you change so much?" I asked him sadly, hoping he falls for my pathetic look, but he wasn't paying any heed to me, he had this annoying smirk on his face that makes him look even more monstrous.

"You stupid, stupid girl. You were always a selfish wench, weren't you? If you didn't spend so much time sneaking around with your lousy, scoundrel of a boyfriend, you would have known what is happening around you. I can't believe that someone as stupid as you are would be Alpha someday, Gosh you are such a disappointment." He let out a disappointed sigh, then he turned around and walked forward, taking his sit in the midst of his cohorts. I'm struggling with my anger right now, I've never been this angry in my entire life. I want to strangle this man, I want to tear him to shreds for ever laying his fifty hands on my mother. How could I have been so stupid, why did I ever believe that he is a good man, was I really a selfish wench?

Gosh, I'm never going to forgive him, is he even my father, why did he change so much, why is he acting like a freaking monster. It is even more frustrating because I cannot do anything about it right now, I can't stop him and I can't expose him, not until we figure out what is really going on here. I don't know how deep the conspiracy goes, I can't afford to be reckless at this point, it could ruin everything. I need to know everything, I need him to trust me, that way he would feel free to share all his secrets with me. I watched him pick up a phone from a drawer nearby, then he taps on his phone, dialing a number, smiling like a f*****g lunatic.

"Come over here Bethany, there is someone here that wants to meet you." My father called out to me, snapping me out of my thoughts. He had a smug smile on his face, he looked so relaxed and satisfied. If I didn't just hear him say he was very disappointed in me a few minutes ago, I would have said that he is proud of me right now. I wonder who could be making him feel so proud and frigid at the same time. Not just him, the other Alphas had that same look on their faces, they looked excited, too excited if you ask me. Worse still, they had their heads bowed in reverence and their necks were left bare in submission. Their strange behavior and posture piqued my curiosity, I couldn't hold back anymore so I took some steps forward, going to take a look for myself. They were all looking at a screen in front of them, it is almost as big as the television in Dom's bedroom, but there is a small difference. It has a lot of wires connected to it but all I could see on the screen is, waiting to connect... I had to wonder why it is here in the first place, how does he keep it hidden from all the guards?

I could remember when Dominic had said that he had taken measures to make sure that the Alphas do not communicate with people on the outside, how does he have a phone, and who the hell is he talking to. The guards are supposed to be on the watch for something like this, how can they miss all this. It's not as if my father is making any effort to hide any of these things. Dominic just left a few minutes ago and these things were just lying around here or did he put them away. Nah, he didn't, he has so much confidence because he has bought over Dominic's guards, I'm not even sure that Dominic still has any loyal guards in this building, the few loyal guards would not be able to speak up for fear of losing their lives. I don't know how my father did it, but he has total control of everyone here, I mean everyone. The other Alphas may not be involved, but when the war begins, they would be left with no other choice but to succumb because they will be terribly outnumbered by the enemies. I stood by their side, waiting for the huge TV to connect to whatever it wanted to connect to. I know that whatever these guys are waiting for, it's got to be good.

I had many thoughts going through my head, I keep imagining what would happen next. My mind keeps conjuring different scenarios, I keep imagining the worst, but what I saw next was so unexpected, so surprising. I saw a guy, a very handsome guy with muscles and abs standing in a beautifully decorated office that looks more luxurious than Dominics. Damn, this guy is cute, I mean, he is so cute. If this is a conference call, then why the hell is he shirtless, why is he showing off so much skin, why is he wearing only sweatpants, looking so edible and yummy. Looking this cute should be considered sinful, it should be reported as a crime. This is the kind of guy that makes a lady droll and squirm in desires by just starting. I am not supposed to be attracted to another man because I am already mated with Dominic, but I just couldn't help getting attracted to this guy. 8 don't know what it is, I just can't place my fingers on it right now, but there is something strange about this guy and it's affecting me.

"I have a mate and I love him dearly.

I have a mate and I love him dearly." I had to keep chanting it in my head, reminding myself not to get lost in his beauty. I was still trying to figure out the mysteries surrounding the gorgeous man on the screen, then he opened his mouth and spoke to me, making me gasp in surprise as his voice sounded like music to my ears,

"Hello, Bethany. It is nice to finally meet you in person." He told me with a warm smile plastered on his face. That voice sends shivers down my spine and it sounds so familiar. I had to think back and try to recall where I had heard that voice before. My eyes widened in shock when realization dawned on me. I took a step closer to the screen to have a better look. It's just not possible, is it?

"King Ashford?" I asked in surprise as I got so nervous all of a sudden. So Dominic was right all along, he had always known that my father had something to do with King Ashford. But we had underestimated him, we would never have imagined that my father talks to him on a conference call, he is not just an ally of the enemy, he is a friend of the enemy. And now he has influenced so many Alphas and warriors, turning them to his side.

"You failed in your last mission, miss Delaney. You have never completed a task given to you by me, should I be worried, Bethany, are you trying to double-cross me?" he asked me calmly, making me shiver in fear. It felt as if I am being brought before a court like I am here to be judged and disciplined.

"Of course not, my king. I did everything you asked of me. It's not my fault that king Dominic plays smart always. Besides, you said I only have to do the connection, then you would handle the rest, right?" I asked him, trickily putting the blame back on him. "Smart and outspoken. Hmmm, I love that. I would love to tame you and bend you to my will. I can't wait to have you all to myself." He let out with a smirk, making me roll my eyes within me. I have to confess, I still replace him attractive and I don't know why it is happening this way, but I haven't lost my mind yet. I still hate him for everything he has done to us. I hate him for turning my father into this desperate, greedy monster that doesn't care about his family anymore. I kept my eyes on him, but I tried to hide my hatred for him. I don't have to try too much though, the guy is too cute to hate. Now I can see why he has more than one woman as a wife, they simply can't reject him, not when he is looking this gorgeous.

"Since it is both our faults that the mission failed, my love. Why don't you handle it yourself this time? I want those supplies out of that came miss Delaney. I don't care how you do it, just get it done and report back to me in two days. Be warned Bethany, your family would be in trouble if you fail me again." He told fiercely, keeping his eyes locked on mine as he spoke. I just realized that his voice doesn't work on me. I don't feel scared of him, not one bit. I only bowed my head in submission because I can see the others doing it. I guess it has something to do with my bond or maybe because I don't see him as a king anymore. But that only makes me wonder why I feel attracted to him when I know deep within me that I hate his guts. What the hell is going on here?
