Chapter 9 ____ In His Dungeon

|| TORVAR KESSLER'S POV ||

" Alpha Don, Alpha Maxim is ready to step down from the western land if that's what you want but he wants to ensure your mat...I mean, Princess Ashina's safety.", my beta, Rodriguez notified me hesitantly, his eyes held the fear.

I gulped the liquor down, slammed the glass down on the floor. Again! He chose Ashina! No wonder, she had always been his favorite child. But what was my mate's fault? Because she loved me more than her own hypocrite father?

My life changed a year ago when I saw Anya's dead body. My heart stopped beating from that moment. To me, Ashina was nothing but a hate of source who could only remind me of the painful incident that I had experienced that year. From being the most chaotic wolf, my wolf became too quiet after losing his mate. I still remembered the pain which looked all fresh and new. Apparently, having my second chance mate didn't help me out. She was the one who did this to my mate. Either her or her father, they both were responsible for Anya's death and I was going to make sure that they will witness hell on earth.

A smirk played on my lips, looking down at the confirmation letter,

" Lovely! I should tell his dear daughter about how her father is going to lose his face in front of the whole damn mafia."

I enjoyed watching her in tears. But today, the fact that she called those Italians her own pack got on my nerves. I didn't know why but it pissed me off so much. As I attempted to leave the room, Rodriguez spoke again in a hesitant voice,

" By the way..we haven't received a confirmation letter from their Beta. You know, about this case of lands, we need Beta's approval more than the Alpha."

I shot him a glare. A Beta? Rodriguez had been telling me for a while that Alpha Maxim's new Beta was interrupting each one of our settlements. In other words, he wasn't willing to compromise anything with us. I snorted lightly, pulling out a cigarette to light on,

" Do you think that a beta can stop me from what I want? If Alpha Maxim cares about Beta more than his own daughter, he should forget about his daughter then."

I tched with hatred and mockery. Rodriguez had something else in his mind as he said in a pitiful voice,

" Pardon Alpha Don but.. don't you think that it's time to let go of your grudges? Princess Ashina is suffering too much. Because of your neglect, other pack members all look down on her and bully her too often. I may not always be present in the pack but I am not blind."

I rebuked the growl, hissing in rage,

" She fucking deserves it, Rodriguez. Tell me..Did she show mercy to my mate or her father? Did they show mercy to the baby in Anya's stomach?"

Rodriguez lost his words and looked down in guilt. He knew very well what I had suffered. I was never a guy to believe that nature will take its revenge. If I have the option to take my own revenge, I will do it at any cost.

|| ASHINA LEVITSKY'S POV ||

" Why did you run away from the pack?", I questioned the girl, staring into her vacant eyes. She was terrified here. I could tell from the way her voice was shaking.

She let out a low sob, mumbled looking down at her feet,

" I...I thought of living alone..in the town with my human.. mate.."

I felt sorry for her. Everyone deserved to live the life that they wanted. In the case of me, I almost forgot how to live like a free woman. Jenny stared up with her tearful eyes, started begging in no moment,

" You are the Luna of this pack, aren't you? Can you help me, please? I swear, I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to leave the territory. Please, Luna! Only you can help me out."

For the very first time, my wolf purred in satisfaction after being called 'Luna'. In this Red Moon Wolves, no one ever called me Luna nor did they respect me like that. I found it valid and null since their Alpha Don never treated me once like his mate.

I felt hopeless after what Jenny requested me. I had no powers or status in this pack. Even Torvar Kessler hated the sight of mine. How was I supposed to help her to get out of this mess? Was I really that useless?

I couldn't understand but at that very moment, I wanted to act like Luna. It was my rightful place in the pack yet so foreign to me. For the first time, I wished to save this girl who was probably the next target of Torvar's wrath.

But how was I supposed to help her? Torvar wouldn't even listen to me.

When the sound of the metal door opening broke our attention, I saw a muscular guard walking inside. His eyes were fixed on Jenny, probably planning to drag her out. He wasn't even looking in my direction. Amidst the chaos and pain, I noticed that Torvar didn't let others torturing me. It was always him who broke me into pieces.

The guard grabbed her up with her hair, Jenny's cry echoed in the air painfully,

" Let go..Let go of me...Luna...hmm.."

Despite her protest, the guard continued dragging her out. Without thinking about anything, I jumped between them to block him from going out. Both Jenny and the guard looked up at me, astonishing. I told him in a commanding voice,

" Let go of her!! Let her stay here!"

The guard tried to retort but my by-born Alpha aura forced him to look down. It was a wolf's instinct to act submissively in front of the Alpha or Luna. Jenny sent me a pathetic look, a grateful smile forming on her lips. I had no idea for how long I was going to stop her from being punished.

" My little doll learnt to speak back! How interesting!!", another voice grew behind me, taking my breath away in fear. Without facing him, I could feel his killing aura.

Whipping my head back, I saw Torvar standing against the bars. His lips pulled up into a malicious smirk as if he was watching an entertainment show here. He continued to smile at me,

" Why did you stop? Keep ordering, Darling. Hmm! Did you get scared of me? Aren't you the brave princess Ashina Levitsky?"

I caught the mockery behind his tone. Yes, I was proud to be the Alpha Princess. Without beating around the bush, I blurted in a weak voice,

" Let her..live..Alpha..She is still young...I can do anything for her survival.."

Torvar raised his brows, chuckling,

" Anything? Are you sure??"

Something told me that it was a bad idea. But Jenny needed to be saved first. I had caused too much destruction to my pack. I could no longer be the reason for their doom. I even wished that I could help my father but it was no vain.

The smile on Torvar's face vanished suddenly. Gripping my hair back, he pulled me up against his chest, his firm chest poking against my erratic nipples. I hated how easily my body turned on against his touch. It was like one intense look from him, I was going to be so wet.

Torvar blurted on my face, seething in anger,

" You are so desperate to save your dear pack member, aren't you? Fine! Come with me, Ashina! Tomorrow, the annual party of the Mafias, you will represent yourself as the slave of Red Moon Wolves. Tell me, do you agree? Not Luna or mate but a sex slave of Torvar Kessler! Do you still want to save her now?"
