The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 77

“Yes, you are giving your parents the justice they deserve,” Azriel said. I exhaled and ran a hand through my hair.

“I’ll make sure someone keeps an eye on them. So, how do you want it to be done?” he asked seriously.

“I don’t know,” I choked.

“We can torture them first and then you can kill them,” he suggested and I shook my head. I wasn’t a killer and those two wouldn’t make me one.

“I don’t care how, but I’m not lying my hands on them,” he said.

“Well, are you coming to watch?” he asked.

“Azriel! Please stop!” I screamed, tears rolling down my face.

“Geez, relax, just wanted to let you in on the fun but It’s fine, I’ll do it,” he snarled and left.

I stared at him in disbelief, he was enjoying this too much. I took a calming breath, counting until I was stable now.

‘Oops, here comes the ex,’ Kira sang.

I felt his presence before he could appear in my line of vision.

“Don’t you think it’s extreme,” Grayson said, walking over to me. I watched him with bored eyes.

“What they did to my parents wasn’t?” I retorted.

“This isn’t about them, this is about revenge, for how I betrayed you,” he said and I chuckled, walking closer to him.

“Don’t give yourself too much credit, Grayson, all this has nothing to do with you,” I told him, looking him in the eyes. Grayson couldn’t hold my gaze. He breathed through his mouth and took a step closer to me, holding my hand. I glared at his hands and then looked at him.

“You can’t tell me that you feel nothing for me Adira, you and I were in love, we did things and made each other happy,” he said breathlessly, ” I was your first love and I refuse to believe you have lost all feelings for me because I haven’t, I pine for you, and every time, I close my eyes, it’s you I see. I love you,” His words didn’t move me at all.

“I lost my emotional attachment to you the moment you turned on me like everyone else. I resented deeply for watching as they treated me like trash yet claimed to want me in secret,” I told him, he squeezed my hands and shook his head.

“Jus- Just one chance, please, one more chance with me and you won’t regret it,” he begged, his eyes watering.

“You lost me, and I’m never coming back to you,” I was firm. I stepped away from him and said, ” Instead of begging me to come back to you, you should use this time to say goodbye to your father… At least you get to, I wasn’t given that chance,” I said and turned to leave.

I went to the dungeons where Steven and Mars were being held. The criminals had been beaten severally indeed, and in their cell were about five guards and Azriel. They all stopped and bowed to me,

“Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind,” Azriel said.

“How did my parents die?” I asked Mars. He didn’t look up to me as he coughed up b***d.

“Far more merciful… Than this,” his words were labored.

“How?” I asked.

“Adira, don’t,” Azriel whispered.

“How?” I asked in a soft but commanding tone.

“Injection, they could beat us in a fight so we just injected them with lethal poison,” he said and my breath shuddered.

“Continue,” I told the men who were torturing them. Steven and Mars were whimpering in pain, begging me for their lives but I wouldn’t spare them. I couldn’t even feel their wolves anymore because of the wolfsbane and silver around them.

“I don’t want them alive in an hour,” I told Azriel, he nodded with a smile and I left the dungeons, going back to the packhouse. A few omegas girls rushed to me and bowed,

“Luna, we have prepared a guest suite for you, and hot water for your bath. We’ll bring lunch in a few hours,”

“Thank you,” I said and they smiled.

“I want everyone in the hall at 6 pm, no one is to miss,” I said and went upstairs. The guest suite was large and smelled good. I could tell they went the extra mile with this room. I took off the shirt I was wearing and went into the bathroom. There were some scented candles.

I closed my eyes when I settled in the bath and tried to wash away everything that happened but I couldn’t. After my bath, I found a dress of my size on the bed that I wore. The smell of food captured my senses but I was skeptical about eating it so I went back to the former Alpha’s office where I left my bag. The packhouse was deadly silent, I could hear crying and whimpering.

‘They are dead,’ Kira said.

As I approached the office, I heard grunting noises come from there and I pushed the door open only to replace two naked wolves f*****g. I cleared my throat and they pulled apart urgently. Grayson was f*****g a she-wolf, okay, just not his wife.

“Oh, my,” I smirked.
