Claimed By My Three Alphas
Chapter 43

LEVI

.

With Amery's connection and my wolf's state of restlessness, I am able to track her to a cottage in the middle of nowhere, far away from the outskirts of our pack and the mansion. How on earth did she get here?

Upon arrival, we are welcomed by the dead bodies of armed warriors scattered across the premises. I look closer, only to realize that I had seen them somewhere before. The stench from their bodies was definitely a familiar one that I had come across one way or another but I couldn't exactly pinpoint the exact place or location where I had seen them.

"Are you sure that your wolf led us to the rig-" Asher paused when he head a soft groan coming from inside the cottage. He quickly abandons me outside and dashed inside the almost vandalized building to rescue her.

I stayed back to scout the area. If she was brought here then it only meant that someone was behind her attack but who could it be?

My eyes took in everything in front of me and that's when it landed on the crying figure right next to a tree a bit farther away from the cottage. I walked towards the body only to realize that it was none other than Dalia.

She was crying bitterly as she clung onto the body of a woman who had been pierced to death by the branch of a tree.

"What did you do?" The question rolled out of my mouth, my gaze still fixed on the dead woman who had already turned pale.

Dalia lifted up her face to look at mine. I could see the fear and panic registered in them as she watched her.

"A-Amery and I went to the village..." She snorted as tears fell down her cheeks freely "I...we had d-decided on a gift to get for Amery when suddenly, warriors from the market ambushed us. We tried to run away but they caught us and brought us here. M-My m- mother was killed and Amery was severely beaten-" She stopped talking when I crouched down beside her.

Her lips quivered and her entire body trembled in fright as I watched her with eyes filled with Anger and rage. "Let us try this again. What did you do Dalia?" I uttered, one sentence that voiced so much authority and command.

"........." She stuttered and i slapped her across the face till she tasted blood which caused her to yelp in pain. She spat a huge generous amount of blood to the ground as she held down her shaky hands. I grabbed her by the chin and forced her eyes to meet mine. "When I ask you a question Dalia, you answer immediately." My grip on her chin tightened and she struggled to breath through her mouth "I do not tolerate it when I am put i am being ignored. I am not like my brothers and you of all people should know that by now."

"F-Forgive me my prince" she whimpered, as she struggled to break free.

"Now, what happened to Amery? Who did this to her and don't make me repeat myself?" I threatened. Tears trailed down her bruised cheeks as she struggled to maintain eye contact with my compelling ones.

"I speak nothing but the-" She cried out in pain when my claws dug deep into her flesh. The more I felt Amery's Pain from inside me, the more my wolf us fueled to take necessary actions against her perpetrators. I could see right through her that she was lying and that only angered my wolf more.

"You tried to hurt her didn't you?" I questioned, my claws still buried deep inside her flesh.

"Yes, I did" She answered boldly.

"What!" I flared up in rage. My ears not believing what I had just heard. I released my hands from her chin and grabbed her by the throat. "How dare you touch what belongs to me? How dare try to hurt her? Who gave you that right?" I growled, my eyes had taken another shade of color and I could sense that my feral animal was close to the surface.

"Does it matter?" She challenged "It's not like y-you cared enough for her? You have..." She struggled to breathe "You have always hated her more than anything else. Have you forgotten that you have also tried to kill her not more than once? I was only helping you to carry out your plans." She chuckled mischievously.

"No one Dalia, absolutely no one gets to make a decision on Amery's life except me." He declared "I am the only one who gets to decide what happens to her. I am the only one who gets to decide if she lives or dies."

She gagged but I only held on tighter. Her cheeks and face had turned purplish red at my invasion "Amery had always and would always belong to me. She is my property and as long as she is alive, I am the only one permitted to make a claim to her life. You have crossed the line by going against me and not only that, you have also tried to kill her and for that, I won't spare you."

"Anyone who tries to hurt Amery would definitely face a worse fate" I swore vehemently, my teeth grinded in anger as I squeezed the life out of her.

"M-My prince..." She hit my hands continuously In a bid to break free but I wouldn't let her. Pulling out my other hands from her chest, I severed her head from her body and she dropped dead to the ground.

Straightening myself to full height, i stared at her corpse for a brief second before I turned towards the direction of the cottage.

I stopped halfway and from a distance, I saw Asher carry Amery in bridal style out of the cottage. His eyes were fully focused on her to even notice my presence.

He whispers something to her almost lifeless body and I felt a pang of pain as a deep feeling of unexplainable jealousy, stabs through my chest repeatedly. Without calling out to him or saying a word, I turned and left immediately.
