Episode 4

ALPHA KAI.

"What the hell?" I cursed under my breath as I stared at her motionless and lifeless body laying in the centre of the pool. It would only take a matter of time before she's sinking to the bottom.

"Why had no one brought her out yet?" I grunted peeling my shirt off my body as I dived into the like pool, swimming over to her.

The guards gasped as they all formed a line around the pool while I carried her out in my arms.

"Alpha, we're sorry. We didn't think we should bring her out since she's the reason your daughter died." I stopped in my tracks turning to look at the guard that had just said that.

Kudos for having him remind me about that and now, Arya in my hands feels like I was being seared by a burning flame.

"Save the apologies for later. Get the pack doctor." I walked back to the pack house and down to a guest room where I laid her on the bed and just kept staring at her.

What were you trying to prove? Even if she died, she was the reason why my daughter died and probably deserves death but not in this way.

I wanted to be the one that would cause her death and made sure that she suffered every bit of the way.

"Alpha, you requested me." The pack doctor came running in and I just pointed at her body that I had dumped on the top of the bed. I don't even care, they could do whatever they wanted as long as they got her to wake the fuck up.

"Do what you can." The pack doctor didn't seem thrilled that he would be the one reviving her either and then placed his bag on the table before examining her wound.

"I don't think there's any point in trying to save her if she wanted to die. It's clearly visible that she wanted to die so she staked herself with a knife." I had though about that but was it really possible? Did she really kill herself because of our encounter few moments ago?

"No matter how hard anything is, no body decides to kill themselves just like that. And I believe that if she wanted to die without being seen, the lake wasn't the most ideal place." The more I tried to piece it together, the more it didn't make sense anyways.

There's no way she would want to kill herself.

"Alpha, that is my expert opinion." He said and I walked closer to him.

"I don't give a fuck about your opinion. What I said and what you will do is this, revive her no matter how long and how much it takes." I said and went back to sit at the corner as I stared at him get about his business.

I blinked twice trying to stop my eyes from itching as all I could see lying on that bed wasn't Arya, never could be that being that was associated with bad luck, all I could see was my mate.

My first mate, the mother of my daughter. Every single thing that linked me to her was gone in the twinkling of an eye already all for what?

I took a deep breath in as the doctor wiped his head in frustration and then shook his head slowly.

"Alpha, there's nothing I can do to revive her. She had already stabbed herself a long while before she was found out and she fell into the pool. The water made the blood clot so I'm sorry but there's no remedy." The doctor said packing up his instrument as he stuffed them into his little bag and the more I thought of it, the more he was right.

She was gone, she was dead! But I still couldn't shake the feeling that she couldn't have possibly killed herself. There's just no way.

"Alright then. I would say you tried your best." I complimented stretching my hands out for a hand shake and he took it before bowing and leaving.

"I guess that just adds to the dead bodies we have to bury." I said to Bria but turning to stare at her, she had a pitiful look etched on her face.

Typical of her.

"Clear it up." I said and was about walking out when I felt her hands wrapped around my body.

"You just found a new mate and she toon her own life. You must feel really sore." She held on tighter and I just held my breath in exhaustion.

"Do you feel better now because it seems like you're comforting yourself instead of comforting me." I teased and she pulled away still holding my sleeves and I turned to face her.

"What have I said about hugging or touching me out of the blue?" I questioned and she swallowed hard visibly taking few steps backwards.

"I'm sorry, Alpha." Bria was one of those maids that had stayed here long enough to win my trust but even in matters like this, she had to know that their were boundaries and preferences that needed to be adhered.

"Keep an eye on her till the guards come to retrieve her dead body." I instructed and she nodded frantically while I walked out the door with both hands inside of my pocket.

I think I was expecting her to die sooner or later but I honestly wished she was at my mercy before she died. The theory that she killed herself was infeasible but the pack doctor was good at his job so I couldn't dispute his expertise.

Though I knew somewhere far deep down from humanity that she didn't kill herself, she had been killed and made to look like she murdered herself.

It was her fault anyways, being the cause of my daughters death, you can surely bet that she had singlehandedly acquired a lot of enemies.

“Alpha, the council is requesting for your presence.” I looked at the messenger who had just delivered the news with boredom in my eyes before switching directions and walking to meet up with the councils.

Just as I pushed open the door to our meeting hall and they stood up in reverence, a guard sprinted into the room almost knocking me down in the process as he fell to his feet.

“Alpha, the body…the body you told us to retrieve of the maid, it's gone.” I raised a brow, dusting my shoulders.

“What in the hell do you mean by, gone?” I questioned in low tones as I rounded over the elders and walked to my seat.

“When we got to the room, she wasn't there. Just bloodstains on the sheet.”
