Hatred.

Thea shut the door close as soon as she entered the bathroom. Ina waited impatiently for her to do whatever she plans to do inside the bathroom.

Thea moved towards the mirror and she stared at her reflection for almost two minutes. The thought of what to do to make sure that Alpha Ethan doesn't touch her that night. He mustn't touch her.

She declared inwardly.

Thea pushed down the ceramic flower vase to the floor and it shattered into Pieces. Ina screamed from outside as she heard it. She begins to bang on the door vigorously to inquire if Thea wasn't hurt. She was deeply frightened until she heard Thea speak from inside the bathroom.

"I'm fine Ina. Just a slight mistake." She said.

"Your Highness. Open the door. I don't believe you're fine until I see for myself."

"I'm almost done." She pleaded and after a few minutes, the door slowly opened and she came out. Ina quickly moved to her and surveyed her body to confirm if she wasn't hurt. She sneak peaked into the bathroom and saw the shattered pieces of the expensive Jade vase on the floor.

She sighed in relief to see that Thea wasn't hurt.

"How did it happen?." She asked curiously.

"It was a mistake. I was trying to wash my hand and fell." They looked pale as she explained.

"It doesn't matter. as long as you're alright.

Let's go meet his Majesty now and I'll come back for that." She informed and they both left the room together.

"Thea.." Ava, her wolf grinned.

"Do not hurt the Alpha." She warned but Thea ignored her and proceeded into the chamber of Alpha Ethan.

Thea Walked till she gets to the middle of the room and she paused. There was no Ethan in the room but she could feel his dark Aura surrounding the atmosphere.

They got uncomfortable by it instantly and turned to leave. She thought it was to her advantage that he wasn't in the room. But when she got to the door, she discovered that it was locked. She had been locked inside the chamber of The Devilish Alpha Ethan.

Thea feared for what is forthcoming.

It didn't take long before she heard the bathroom door open and Ethan emerged from there. She saw how handsome he looked when the water dripped from his wet black curly hair to his well-built body, Thea stood there quietly. It was the first time since the few months that they have been married for Thea to see Ethan's bare body.

"Thea.." he grimaced at her coldly.

"You seek for me." She spoke, raising her gaze at him. Ethan smirked at her guts. No one dares to look him in the eyes so confidently except for his defiant wife. She was as gutsy as her lover. He thought inwardly as he approached her.

"What are you waiting for? Mark her quickly." Carl, his wolf suggested. But marking Thea was the last thing on Ethan's mind. Since she didn't want him, he also doesn't want her and had no interest in forcing her to be with him.

Thea clenched her hands into a fist as she watched him come close to her. She drafted backward with a step. Avoiding him coming close to her. Thea was irritated by him and he was intrigued by her actions.

"You can't escape me, Thea. I can have you if I want to." Ethan reminded sarcastically.

"You cannot have me against my will, Ethan." She rebuked rudely.

"Maxwell and I are meant for each other and he would be the only one to touch me." She blurted out.

"What do you mean?." Ethan inquired and she let out a sardonic smile at him.

"I am not a virgin anymore and Maxwell, my lover is responsible for deflowering me. You have been defeated, Ethan. Accept that fact."

"How dare you?." Ethan raised his hand to hit her but paused. He was deeply enraged by her Utterances and he almost couldn't control himself.

"Thea.." he grinned.

"You lost to Maxwell. He is my first man and would always be. I hate you, Ethan. I will never let you have me." She spurted.

Just as she finished speaking, Ethan threw himself at her and began kissing her roughly so that he almost injured her.

They struggled and managed to push him after several bites of his lip and tongue.

"You are a filthy man Ethan. How do you expect your subordinates to react when they find out you treat your Luna in this manner."

"My Luna? You are a whore and deserved to be treated as one. Cheating on me with an Omega? How low can you go?."

Before Thea could speak, Ethan grabbed her closer and continued to kiss and rip her gown. Her shoulders became visible and her back too. Due to the force he used, Thea sustained an injury on her neck.

Ethan didn't care and he continued with what he was doing.

"I will never love you for treating me this way. Mark my words." Ethan paused as he heard that.

"How did I treat you?"

"You are evil." She cursed as tears streaked down her cheeks.

All of a sudden, Thea brought out a broken piece that she had secured from the flower vase and attached him with it. Alpha Ethan was fast enough to grab the sharp object from her delicate hand.

"I will kill you and end all this madness once and for all." She threatened.

Ethan made her spin and he was now behind her. He lowered his face to her neck and whispered to her ears.

"Doing this would bring your lover more harm. Princess." He warned.

Ethan got annoyed by her constant insult and he lets go of her. Just when she thought it was all over, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her with him.

Seeing how tattered her dress was, Ina became worried about what Ethan tried to do with her.

They continued that way till he brought her to the dungeon where Max was chained and tortured. Thea's eyes widened in shock as she realized that it was Max that was tied and covered in blood and nearly dead.
