Chapter 3: Cursed Alpha 

    (Draven POV)

“Gia! You have to get out of this room,” I said to her, and she blinked her eyes a few times before shaking her head no. 

“You have no idea what the power of this curse is,” I tried to convince her, but she was really adamant about staying. 

“Agatha!!! Agatha, please leave Alpha’s room as soon as possible.” Someone started banging at the door, and she looked at the door but didn’t budge. 

“Gia! You really mean a lot to me, but the monster inside me didn’t care about anything, so please…” I almost begged her, and I can see fear in her green eyes. Her body was slightly shaking, and I knew she was on the verge of a panic attack, but she wanted to stay despite her fear. 

“Agatha, please try to unders… Please leave,” I almost begged her to leave, but she wasn’t ready. Slowly, the moon turned red, and I looked at her with my red eyes. 

My claws and canines elongated, and I stepped towards her. She gasped in fear and tried to run away, which was the biggest mistake. A different type of energy surged in my body, and before I could think… everything happened in just a few seconds. 

“Agatha!!!” I heard her mother’s scream and looked at my hands. Her lifeless body was in my hands, and her blood was present in my hands, and on my body if I took a bath in her blood. The floor was also covered in her blood. 

“No, no, no!!! You killed your own wife. The only person who loved a monster like you… No!!! My sweet daughter,” Her mother fell on the floor in front of me, and I looked at my black fingers, which were covered with red liquid. And me, my emotions turned numb like someone made my heart freeze. I was looking at her lifeless body like it was someone else’s mate, not mine. 

“Agatha! She is gone… My Gia is gone,” I called her name, and her mother stood up before rushing towards me. She slapped me hard a few times, and I looked at her face with red eyes. 

“Christine! He will kill you,” His husband pulled her toward him. 

“I don’t care… I don’t care about anything else, George. My sweet baby is gone and now… Now, I have no reason to live… I want to die with her… want to die,” she fell on the floor and started wailing and sobbing. My nanny and special guard entered in the secret room. 

“Master!” Gerald looked at the scene in front of him and covered his mouth in shock. Aunt Brigid stood there with sad eyes and unexplainable expressions. 

“Gerald! Clean this up and arrange the funeral of the madam,” Aunt Brigid ordered him, and help me stand up before taking me to a bathroom. 

“Take a bath and clean all the blood, Alpha! I will prepare your medicines,” I locked the door, took a bath like a robot, and put on clean clothes. I came out to find my medicines on the table and looked at my reflection in the floor-length mirror. Midnight black hair, red eyes, with half of my face and body covered in black panther-like stripes. My hands were almost covered with black if someone had painted them black. A cruel smile crept on my lips, which showed my unusual canines that can tear apart any human or animal in mere seconds without mercy. 

“They were right! Who can love a monster like me?” I mumbled under my breath and came back towards the sofa. I picked up the soup bowl and my medicines and quickly finished everything in just a few minutes. I gazed out at the dark sky and sighed with sadness. Everything happened in less than an hour but I could feel the impact it would put on my life. 

I have to deal with the consequences of my actions and will continue my life like normal after this funeral. I tried to forget everything, but the earlier scene started playing in front of my eyes in a loop, and I got up in frustration. I picked up the bottle of sleeping pills, took a few, and gulped them with water before closing my eyes to catch a few hours of sleep. I can sense the storm of the future already, so I should prepare myself to face it.

“How can you be this heartless, Alpha?” Gia’s mother came to the dining hall when I was finishing my breakfast. 

“You will receive the compensation for all this. No need to create a huge scene for this matter,” I answered in a cold tone. 

“Huh? A huge scene? Are you even hearing your words? No one in this world can be more cruel than you. You are a heartless monster who killed my innocent daughter without any remorse.” She started crying, and I quickly got up from my seat and headed towards the door where Gerald and the driver were present. I had my mask on, so they couldn’t see my real face at all. My hands were also covered with gloves. 

“I want to visit the factory before the funeral,” I ordered the driver, and he nodded before heading towards the factory. 

After visiting the factory, I finished one meeting and then headed to the funeral house. All the close family members were gathered there, and as expected, everyone was accusing me in hushed whispers, and honestly, I don’t give a f*ck about them or their opinions. She already knew about everything, so it wasn’t my mistake at all. 

After the funeral, I gave the cheque to her family and headed towards my secret villa to spend some alone time to calm my nerves.
