Chapter 6: The devil's son

Melissa's POV

Alpha Magus acted strangely as he talked, not like the normal

His son didn't utter any word, although I wasn't looking at him, and I didn't even know what he was up to at that moment, but I knew he was silent.

“Caius”

I muttered silently as my head was buried to the ground, I bit my lower lips.

“Caius, that's his name”

I muttered silently again as I lifted my head slowly from the ground

This was the first time I was hearing his name, we never introduced ourselves that night. We obviously met that night for fun per say and there was no way we thought we were going to see each other again.

“She is Princess Melissa Thornhart, the daughter of Alpha Lawrence the leader of the Eclipse Pack of the North” Alpha Magnus voice roared out loud like a lion.

At this point, he was standing close to the door, But as soon as he was done talking, he walked closer to where I sat and stood just beside his son Caius.

“Princess Melissa?”

Caius asked in disbelief as his voice rose to a scream.

He stared at his father with his eyes opened widely before staring back at me who sat just opposite him. It was clear that he must be shocked of my identity.

He probably couldn't believe his eyes that a princess of the Eclipse Pack of The North would stoop so low to have a one-night stand just that easily. He definitely would have heard how high and mighty my father was and how he had spoiled me with things.

My eyes met with that of Caius and for a moment, my heart pounded faster not like the usual, it was actually something different, I could feel it, it was nothing like the ordinary, I tried to figure out exactly just happened but I couldn't.

"Yes, he felt it too, I sensed it," I thought as my eyes widened, immediately he looked away just like his heart melted away.

I just noticed, he still didn't say a word. His father still standing beside me

“He is still shocked” I thought to myself

But suddenly, he turned to me slowly, squatting just very close to me just then his next word sent cold chills to my spine

“Kill her now !!”

Kill who? What exactly did I just hear? I thought to myself.

Yes !! Caius had every right to be irritated, but I was never expecting him to spill this out.

“What do you mean Caius?” His father voice rose up but this time in a mild tone

This was the first time Alpha Magnus had spoken mildly ever since I found myself here, he wasn't harsh, nor sarcastic in his choice of words.

I could read from his father's lip, that he also wasn't expecting to hear that from him, not now, not even at this moment.

He had probably thought that Caius was going to make mockery of me and then maybe encouraged him to have me to himself through the night.

“Yes father. Why hesitating? You should have her killed this minute” Caius voice sprang up like the blaring of a phone in an empty room.

His father didn't utter a word, he just stared at him, probably waiting for the next word from him.

Just as expected Caius knew the assignment as he turned again, this time, he looked directly at me, his eyes piercing my soul like a sharp sword.

“I can't stand seeing her alive, her father killed mother, and I wouldn't just let that pass, she is unfortunate to be here today, and just like you have always said an eye for an eye, father, a tooth for a tooth. Isn't that right father?” Caius continued, his eyes still boring into mine.

To be honest. It sounded like a joke when he had made the statement for the first time earlier, but a second time meant that he was playing no games.

His father had obviously told him that I was the daughter of his enemy —The one who had slain his mother, and honestly I knew my father would do the same if he was in their shoes.

My heart ached as I tried to speak, my lips trembled as words failed to proceed from my mouth. It seemed like the words were too heavy. I tried to force the words from me as tears streamed down my cheeks again. I had thought that this part was over, it felt like going back to the beginning to solve a puzzle already halfway done.

“Please, don't kill me, I beg you, I beg you” I said as I began to cry profusely.

Honestly. At this point I just didn't know what else to do, I had begun to regret why I had run away from my father, maybe getting married to Ronan wouldn't be as bad as being killed in a strange place.

I just couldn't get killed. Jace and Brandon would never forgive themselves if they heard that I didn't get to the penthouse safely and was killed by my father's greatest enemy — Alpha Magnus Vortan

“You shouldn't beg me, I have no reason to forgive you. Your father ruined everything that I had, and you know he took the best thing of my life away from me, do you know how it feels to live without a mother. Do you !! ?” He roared as his voice echoed through the hallway.

“I know. I obviously don't know how it feels, I'm spoilt, I've been with my mom and dad since I was born, but I'm sorry if my father hurt you and took something precious from you” I replied as tears rolled down to my cheeks.

“Yes, this is the reason, that's the point. They should also know what it feels like to live without a daughter as well, I'm going to take their precious girl away from them” Caius roared again as he reached out for a metal bar close to him.
