Chapter 4

Alex’s P.O.V.

He left the room and went out. He was not the man I knew. I always thought he was a kind man but he was different. I didn't know what to do now. I can't say nor do anything. Neither I can't accept nor flee away. I had never even dreamed that the love of my life, which was my everything, will do this to me. I felt so defeated, hopeless, sad and angry.

A few hours ago I was very happy but now everything has changed. I never knew him, his presence was only enough to make me tremble in fear.

Today’s event made me tired. I was too exhausted. My mind was drowning. I couldn't contemplate anything now.  My head was aching like hell. I rested my head on pillow and soon I drifted into darkness.

~After two hours

I was in a deep sleep when suddenly I felt something strange; I regained my senses. He was sitting in front of me. Seeing him, I sat up suddenly; every scene of last night was fresh in my mind.

"I am glad to see that you are sleeping peacefully here." He spoke in a very soft tone. His hands were touching me cheeks. I pushed back his hand and his color changed for a moment.

Remembering all the events, I got off the bed and stood in front of him.

I am not a terrified little cat who is afraid of this monster. I'm not going to act like a foolish young girl he can terrify anytime he wants. I gazed at him, gathering all my confidence.

"Can you explain why you did this?" I inquired, but he remained mute.

"Why did you do that? What did I think of you, and how did you end up? Why did you trick me? Please explain what is wrong with you. You harmed me, monster. Why?” I screamed angrily.

"Don't yell, Alex." He roared and gripped my wrists tighter. I began straining to get away from his grip.

"Don't you dare to offend me," he said severely.

“Why? You deceived me, and now I have no right to yell? You are a killer, you monster and I..."

On his face, I yelled. Suddenly, my face shifted to the opposite side.

He-he slapped me?

"Never attempt to do this again; else, your hands will be in danger."

He was the one who destroyed my confidence, concealed his identity, and smacked me instead of apologizing for his horrible crimes. My cheeks began to sting from the discomfort. In disbelief, I turned my face toward his. He had lifted his hands on me.

When he noticed my streaming eyes, his look softened instantly. He relaxed his grasp slightly.

"Did you get hurt?" He asked in a deadly calm tone. He attempted to grip my cheeks, but I pushed his hands away and tried to flee, but he caught me.

"Don't irritate me, angel." He was leaning towards me and spoke, his cruel words making my heart skip a beat, I was backing away in terror, and he was approaching until my back was against the wall.

"Shhh, not a single word. I hate people who ask questions, you heard. After today, don't ask me any questions. Slowly you will know everything, till then obey my every order."

Holding my soft jaw in his iron grip, he spoke; tears began to flow from my eyes in pain. I struggled to free myself, when he, with a jerk, pushed me back, my head and back hit the wall hard due to the push. I groaned in pain.

"Get dressed in the next five minutes and come downstairs. Your stuff is in the dressing room."

After taking a hard look, he went towards the door, then stopped and turned back.

"If it goes up even a second from five minutes, you will be responsible for the result yourself." I became horrified due to his cannibalistic behavior. He warned in a serious tone, he closed the door loudly and left while I was still standing there.

Alpha Conard’s P.O.V.

I was sitting on the couch in the lounge, playing on mobile, but my attention was on the stairs. Whatever happened was not right, I know. But this was not my fault. I couldn’t control my anger. After the marriage ceremony we reached at our mansion. My brother’s face was coming before my eyes again and again. He was my elder brother, how could I forget him?

I know I should behave at that time. It was a shock for her but I punished her. Hurting her did not get any pleasure to me. I remained in pain all night.

Today I went into my room. I looked at her and saw that she was in a deep sleep. I smiled and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. I looked at her. Soft pink lips, long nose, sharp jawline, fair milky skin and delicate body. She was looking absolutely gorgeous.

She was hurt. I know. She continued fighting me back which I didn’t minded as I was solely responsible for it. She shouts at me which nobody had ever done before.

But I lost my temper when she called me a monster.

When she said that she hates me, she woke up the Beast in me. I can’t bear her hate. I never wanted to do this to her but she needs to learn a lesson. She knew my identity and it was dangerous. She would defiantly want to run away from me and I can’t let that happen.

I was engrossed in my thoughts when I was awakened by a noise from the stairs.

There were a few seconds left before the five minutes were completed when her footsteps echoed in my sensitive hearing. I looked up and saw that the stairs were empty. After two seconds, she appeared there with a black long frock, golden braids of hair on the sides of her face were also wet with water. She might have hurriedly washed her face with water and went straight down.

"Do you know how to cook?" Staring at her trembling body, I said in a loud voice, she just stared at me.

“Don’t act like that. You know how cruel I am. If you don’t want to be in that dark room, be a good girl.” I threatened her and she trembled. She nodded and I stood up.

"Wow amazing, this is the first thing I like from you. Good, I intend to start your punishment at a low level.” Leaning on her and talking to her ear I touch her earlobe and she shivered.

"Go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast for me, the details of what I eat for breakfasts are posted on the wall in the form of a list in the kitchen. Now go and prepare breakfast in fifteen minutes"

Sitting cross-legged, I picked up the newspaper lying on the table and ordered her.

"First let me talk to Albert."

Crying helplessly, she pleaded. I was at rage hearing the name of “Albert’ from her mouth.

"Shut your tongue, don't even try and make a mistake doing these futile tantrums in front of me after today, or I'll wipe your beautiful existence off the page before a minute, now get lost." I grabbed her wrists and warned her in a thunderous voice like the clouds, I was getting very mad. But the next moment was shocking for me. She had fainted. I came back in my senses. I immediately take her in my arms.

“Hey, Baby?’ I patted her cheeks gently but she didn’t responded which made me worried. I carried her in bridal style to my room. I gently placed her on the bed and covered her body with the duvet.

I looked at her.

Her face was damped with dried tears, her nose had turned crimsoned, her soft wrists were bruised up badly and her pink cheeks were stained with red fingerprint marks. Looking at her petite figure laying helplessly on the bed, I felt restless. I never wanted to do this to her but her concern for other people apart from me blew my mind with anger and jealousy.

I was jealous? Why? Why was I getting jealous? No, No, I can’t do this. I would not betray my brother. I shook my head and left the room.
