Black's POV
"Alpha Black, I'm interrogating her as you ordered." The captain turned around and walked to me with a fawning smile.When I turned my head, I caught Yvette's eye and saw a look of hate.Suddenly, I found the captain annoying.Thud!I couldn't help but give him a kick, sending him flying and rolling on the floor.After a long time, he still couldn't get on his feet.I looked at him icily and said, "Is raping part of the interrogation?!""I was wrong, Alpha Black," the captain replied in fear.
Vexed, I ordered the two wolf guards beside me, "Take him out, break his right arm, and banish him! Then get Aubrey here."They immediately dragged the captain out of the interrogation room.Soon, Aubrey knocked on the door and came in."Interrogate her," I said. Then I walked to the chair on the other side of the room and sat down."Hello, I'm Alpha Black's Beta. My name's Aubrey." Aubrey smiled and made a brief introduction to her.
"What on earth do you want to do?" asked Yvette, ashen-faced."You wouldn't admit that you gave birth to a child three years ago no matter how. So I needa ask you a few routine questions," Aubrey explained with patience."You made a mistake," whispered Yvette.She tried to break free but failed. She was too weak.Exhausted, she slumped into the chair, like a dying fish on a chopping board."So, Miss Schwartz, let's begin."Aubrey took out a file from behind and opened it."Can I go after I answer your questions?"
Instead of replying, Aubrey looked at the file and began to ask gently, "Name.""Yvette Schwartz."Aubrey glanced at the tablet beside her and nodded. "Miss Schwartz, what were you doing three years ago?" he continued."I lived and worked in my pack. That's all.""You should be carrying a baby back then," Aubrey prompted."No, I wasn't pregnant."He paused and continued, "No way. According to the information we found, you hardly left home back then. If you weren't pregnant, why would you hide in your house for a year?""I just love to stay at home. Got a problem with it?""Where were you on January 20th three years ago?"
"In the pack, probably.""No. You were with Alpha Black that night," said Aubrey. "And you lured him to bed.""Bullshit! He's a grumpy jerk. Even the sight of him makes me sick. How could I possibly do that!" Yvette glared at Aubrey, her tone agitated.Hearing her words, I slammed the wine glass in my hand on the table.'I make her sick?How dare she?! I'm the one who should feel sick! You phony bitch!'"Alpha Black, she's just playing hard to get. Lame trick. Don't take it to heart."
An Omega in a revealing nightgown massaged my shoulders and whispered softly."Playing hard to get?"I repeated coldly while looking toward the other side of the room with a scowl. There was hatred in Yvette's eyes.I could tell whether she was faking it in one glance.At the other side of the room, Aubrey went on asking, "Miss Schwartz, we did a little background check on you. You are the adopted daughter of Alpha Douglas of the Silver Lake Pack. He's got a daughter named Violet. Since childhood, she surpasses you in every single aspect, whether in terms of look or ability. Plus, she's the mate of the future Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack."
Yvette clenched her fists and bit her lip."I've consulted a psychologist. He told me that you were dying to outstrip Violet because you'd been feeling inferior and envious for a long time," Aubrey said. "To climb the social ladder, you tricked Alpha Black into sleeping with you three years ago. Later, you found yourself pregnant. So you hid away and secretly gave birth, right?""I don't know what you're talking about," Yvette said through gritted teeth.
"Miss Schwartz, if you wanna gain some benefits from this child, denying it is pointless. Just name your terms. Don't wait until Alpha Black's patience runs out," persuaded Aubrey.His tone was gentle."For fuck's sake, I didn't! Even if I was pregnant with his child, I'd abort it the minute I found out! Is this the answer you want?" Yvette yelled.Suddenly, she asked, "By the way, do you have any morning-after pills?"Yvette's POVAubrey wasn't as arrogant as Black. Yet the certainty in his words rendered my denial flimsy. A wave of frustration flooded me.I had to thank him for reminding me that I had been raped by Black, though. I didn't wanna get pregnant with Black's child.My question stunned Aubrey. He turned his head to look at Black sitting on the other side of the room.Miffed, Black pushed away the she-wolf who was massaging him from behind. "Fuck off!"The she-wolf shot a baleful glance at me and left.I didn't get it. Why would a girl fall for a tyrant like Black?Aubrey bowed respectfully to Black and said, "Alpha Black, I've interrogated Miss Schwartz in every possible way.""Just tell me your conclusion."Black sat on a white wicker chair, resting one hand on his chin, his tone stony."My conclusion is that she's honest," Aubrey reported. "Could it be that we made a mistake?""No way!" Black sprang to his feet and strode over.Then he flung me back into the chair.Thud.It hurt so mu
Yvette's POVIt hurt.I woke up groggily from bed. A sunbeam shone through the large window, illuminating the European-style decorated bedroom."Miss Schwartz, you finally woke up." Aubrey cracked a polite smile.I sat up silently. The discomfort in my body evoked memories of the violent sex last night.I remembered I had passed out a few times because of the pain, yet Black still showed no mercy.He didn't stop even when I was unconscious.My body seemed to have become a toy that he could dally with at will. "Miss Schwartz, are you hungry? We've got a chef here. You can have whatever you want," said Aubrey."When can I get out of here?" I asked out of despair.Aubrey sighed, "Alpha Black invites you here for a visit. You may leave when you give us the kid."A visit? Imprisonment would be a more suitable word.How did my life turn into such a mess? Even my freedom was not under my control.I still couldn't figure out when I messed with this horrible, disgusting man who had zero trust
Yvette's POV"Why?""Because he's Alpha Black," Aubrey said.Dejected, I sank into the chair, my hands tightly wrapping around my body.Every attempt I made was pointless. I had to suck it up."Miss Schwartz, you are too feeble. Eat something," Aubrey said. Then he picked up a plate of cuisine from the trolley and placed it on the desk.Clinging on to the last gleam of hope, I looked him in the eye and asked, "If I go beg Black, will he release me?"Aubrey responded to me with nothing but a sympathetic look.Taking the hint, I lapsed into silence. The days I was trapped in this castle felt like ages.The only saving grace was that I didn't see Black again.Every day, exquisite dishes were served to my bedside. All something I had never tasted.My physical health gradually improved, yet my mental health deteriorated.There were countless guards in the castle. Once I stepped out of the room, I'd be followed. I had no way to contact anyone. To make things worse, Aubrey would come to as
Black's POVYvette was drinking a glass of water in front of me. The way she swallowed set off her fair skin. Though it was a casual move, it just oozed with sex appeal.Before I knew it, I stiffened.My wolf was getting excited.And my body was heating up.I had to admit that Yvette's face was devilishly captivating to me. Though I hated restraining my desires, I didn't wanna get too obsessed with a girl. So I'd never slept with her since I took her to my house. There were lots of she-wolves waiting to have sex with me, anyway.To me, all women were the same.Strangely, my attraction to Yvette remained.The woman just now was sexy as hell, but I didn't feel anything even when she stripped naked. Yvette, however, turned me on simply by drinking water."It seems I've been too kind to you, huh? You actually have the mood to cook."Dissatisfied with my strong reaction, I mocked her as I strode over. The minute I came near her, a nice scent enveloped me.It was fruity and flowery, like
Yvette's POVAfter tasting it, Black downed the whole bowl of chowder, leaving me slack-jawed.Then he signaled the maid, who immediately refilled his bowl with all the remaining chowder.Black grabbed the spoon and continued to savor it. This time, his movements became much more elegant."Don't put carrots next time. I hate them!"Even so, he still finished all the clams and veggies in it.After that, he pushed the empty bowl forward, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and left without looking back. Speechless, I covered my empty stomach and stared at the bowl.Did he just have the whole pot of chowder? What was he, a glutton?I had only taken a few sips. Poor me.Fortunately, the maid served me the dishes they had cooked for Black. After forcing myself to take a few bites, I ran back to the room where I was temporarily staying.Then I threw myself onto the bed and snuggled down under the covers.To be honest, I didn't want to please Black. On the contrary, I hated his guts.But I learn
Yvette's POVBlack's voice came.I cursed inwardly before pushing the door open.Black's study was designed in a circular shape. There were large floor-to-ceiling windows, towering bookshelves, and countless books.Black was sitting at the large curved desk, his fingers interlocked under his chin.Seeing me walk in, he sneered, "Didn't expect you to be so cunning.""I don't know what you're talking about." I strode over and placed the ice cream in the corner of the desk.Suddenly, I caught sight of a computer screen. It was playing surveillance video of me bickering with Kara just now. "I don't think it proves me cunning. It just shows that I'm wary of others," I defended myself."Then why did you refuse to tell me where the child is? Being wary of me, the kid's father?" Black asked coldly."I made some ice cream. Wanna give it a go? We'll chat after you taste it." I didn't want to continue the topic, coz I knew my answer would only anger him."Tryna please me?" Black stared at me wi
Black's POVI hung up the phone and closed my laptop.Sometimes, it frustrated me that my employees were human beings. If they were all members of my wolf pack, Mind-Link would be a more convenient way of communication.I looked up and noticed that the light in the study had dimmed. Turned out it was already dusk.Suddenly, I realized I hadn't heard Yvette's voice for a long time. When I turned around, I saw her standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.The reflecting afterglow created a natural oil painting.Yvette stood there in a watercolor silk dress, simple yet elegant. She blended in perfectly with the scenery out the windows, her long hair falling over her shoulder, covering part of her delicate face.I had seen many beauties, both human and werewolf. But none had given me this feeling. I stood up silently from my desk and walked toward her. As I came closer, I noticed that she was staring blankly into space as if her soul had drifted away, leaving only her body.Thi
Yvette's POV"Say it again?" Black hissed, his voice trembling with anger.He was so stubborn.Just because he believed that I had given birth to his pup and hidden it, he locked me up and tortured me.Now, he even wanted me to be his woman.If I continued to please him, I might be trapped here forever.Sensing what I was about to do, my wolf gave me a warning. My head began to pound.Enduring the pain, I continued, "I feel nauseous every time I see you. I don't want to be with you at all." The next second, Black flung me to the ground.It happened all too fast. I just felt the room spinning.Then, every part of my body started aching.Black stepped on me and said with a scowl, "You're risking your neck."I remained silent.After stamping on my leg hard, he left.Phew, I thought I'd be torn apart on the spot. The power of the Alpha King was beyond my imagination.I lay motionless on the floor, for even the slightest movement caused pain.After a long time, I finally managed to sit u
