ALL IT TAKES FOR A GIANT MAN TO BE FICKLE AND SMALL IS A WOMAN WHO’S READY TO BRING HIM DOWN.
—————-WELCOME💕🌸———————ARTFOLD’S POVOne thing I hated most was stupid women who think they can do as they wish because they have a pretty face and a gentle smell. And this Slut, whatever her name is, was going to pay dearly for the stress she has put me through in the last 48 hours.From rushing her back to my pack, getting her treated and a stupid lingering of my heart, wanting to badly know if she survived or if she didn’t, rendering me useless. She was just a slut I met at a bar, nothing more. Yet the way I could not focus on anything aside from her made it look like she was the Luna of my pack, in an ailment and I was waiting impatiently for her to wake up.I raised my head towards the door as it opened, revealing the doctor’s trusted guard. My heart skipped a beat as I waited for what he had to say, “your highness, she’s awake.”I felt everything stop for a moment at his words, slowly closing my eyes and muttering a prayer of thanks to the moon goddess. I stood up from the chair and marched out of the room, unleashing every fury that I had been tucking away to the pit of my stomach as I made the way to the room she was being kept in.I ignored the greeting of the guard who opened the door as I stepped in, halting in my steps at the sight of her on the large family size bed, the doctor regulating whatever he has connected to her arms.“Your highness…” I heard the doctor say, blinking towards him.“Get out.”He bowed slightly, stumbling out of the room immediately and closing the door after him. The temperature of the room winded down coldly as I stepped closer to her, recalling the words she has said to me.I…I..Artfold Panther would be blamed for her death.I scoffed out, stopping right in front of her bed. My eyes clashed with her tired brown orbs immediately, wrinkles on her forehead and a weary look on her face.“What’s your name?”She managed to seat up, her forehead wrinkling with deep lines as she sighed tiredly, her throat gobbling up and down.“What are you going to do to me?” She asked, fear in her eyes as she eyed me down.I lifted the corner of my lips up as I leaned over to the bed frame, using it as support, “I'm glad you clearly remember me, Slut.”“You should have just let me die.” She growled angrily at me.The smile on my face widened, “ohh, I will. I’ll let you die,” the rest of the smile died down as I said the last words, “only after you undo what you’ve done to me.”I strode towards her and snatched her right arm from her, staring straight at the mark of my teeth on her wrist before flinging it back to her to look at it. I ignored the spark that lightened up in me at the feel of her skin around my arm, the same way I had felt last night, her scent that wafted into my nose from just being close to her, the same one that led me to her table last night.She smelled of fresh waters, mixed together with the old and nostalgic smell of a bookshop with flowers and the stench of your favorite coffee. Her brown orbs reminded me of my past mate, but very different.Liana had the eyes of pure wickedness, while she had the gentle and soothing look of an evening breeze, calming your nerves and your soul. My wolf growled at me, my hands jerking up wanting to brush off her messy hair.I leaned closer to her and watched her pull back, clenching my jaw, “First, you did something on me to make me mark you. Second, I can’t remember her, my ex mate. A night with you and you’ve taken all my memory of her. And thirdly,” I gritted my teeth harder, lowering my gaze to the bed.It was her. It was because of her that I have been feeling all different kinds of emotions. I was the TRIBRID king, and it only meant one thing. I was half wolf, half vampire and half human. Majorly, it was my wolf that dominated most of everything in my life, and for most of my life, I had never felt my vampire or human side.But since seeing her last night, talking to her, taking her to bed, they were back and I could feel them.“You’re making me feel something for you. Something I clearly do not want to feel.” I added, growling at her and returning my eyes into her confused ones.“I would give you three days, three days to find a solution to what you’ve done to me. If you dare not, I will skin you alive and give you the best death that you gladly want.”Something stirred in me as she pulled towards me, feeling the urge to touch her and take her into my arms as her eyes taunted mine, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, your highness. But I did nothing to you. If you’re looking for someone to blame for your measly and stupid actions, find someone else and not me!” She said back, not stuttering for one bit.I grabbed her by the neck harshly, watching her eyes widen in shock, “Three days, Alicia. After Three days and there’s nothing, you would find out why I’m called the Alpha king.”She looked back at me like my words were just nothing, “I would really like to know, because you’re a piece of shit to me.”“We’ll see then.” I said before releasing her.I turned towards the door and walked out, feeling my rage draw into me again. But this time for a different reason. It was not because of her, but because of what I had said.A weak reply. A weak response. And a part of my stupid humanity spreading into my body. I needed to find a way to undo whatever she has done, if not, things would fall into disaster.Or else I might be turning weak. And Artfold Panther, the TRIBRID alpha king was everything asides weak.CHAPTER 006Alicia’s POVA low groan escaped my lips as I stumbled to the floor, a result of the head maid using the back of the steel bucket to hit my back. I clenched my jaw hard, the back of my eyes burning with tears and anger rising from the pit of my stomach. There were a lot of things I wanted to do, to say, to yell out at her but I could not, for my sake, and for proving the stupid monster king wrong. I shut my eyes hard, shoving all the tears that desperately wanted to roll down my cheeks back before managing to stand up.“Is this how you behave where you came from, Alicia? So lazy, can’t even pick anything up, is this it?” She hollered at my back.I paid her no heed and continued with the cloth I had been assigned to wash, all in the name of Artfold Panther whose definition of showing me hell was housework and starvation. I didn’t mind any of it though, because in a new light, i get to live and there was something i had just thought of that i didn’t think of before wanting t
CHAPTER OO7ALICIA’S POVMy heart dropped right to the farthest pit of my stomach at the sight in front of me, a chill running down my spine instantly. It was phase two because there was a chair right in the middle of the room, with him sitting right in front of it, some guards surrounding the room, and other faces who were in normal clothing and not the guard’s clothing. I took a step back only to collide with a hard body, my fear doubling at the hard gaze of the guard at my back. I shook my head as fast as I could, terror showing on my face before trying to leave the room. The guard grabbed me and lifted me off the floor, ignoring my screams and proceeding to the chair.“NO! I Know nothing! Please don’t! NO!” I yelled out but everything fell on deaf ears as he kept moving towards the chair.He placed me on it, immediately strapping the belt to my waist. Everything reminded me of Walter and his haunting. The guard pulled my hand, chaining it, bringing back the memory of Walter also
CHAPTER 008ARTFOLD’S POVI was mad at her and at the same time not mad. Part of what she said made sense, but for my word to be used against me infuriated me more than anything. I could hear her screams at every step I took away from the room and although for some weird reason, it kind of broke my heart, I could not go back.For some weird reason, I was feeling something for her. I wanted to be close to her and have her near me, I didn’t want her hurt, I just wanted her to undo whatever she had done to me. I asked my beta, Callum, to look for information about her and that was where we got that she killed her child. I didn’t believe it though, but I wanted to know the kind of person she is even though I didn’t believe.I stepped into my study room, far away from the room where she was being tortured and settled into my chair. I looked up to see my beta right in front of me, his arms folded on each other, “get Mia, let’s find out what she knows.”He bowed before turning out of the ro
CHAPTER 009ALICIA’S POVPain and the cold, stench smell of blood, those two things were the first thing I felt as my eyes opened. I hissed out as I tried to seat up, my entire arm coursing with pain at every angle I tried to use it for. My eyes found the chair at which I had been tortured, and I started boiling immediately. After the helmet that they put on my head, blocking my vision, the guard had started from tugging down on the chairs used to hold my hands, pulling it as another person whipped me badly. My heart sank in fear as I heard the sound of the door, looking up at it immediately. My fear intensified as the sound continued, more of someone unlocking it. I managed to stand up on my feet and rush back, ignoring all the pain I was feeling for that moment and trying to find somewhere to hide.Although I was angry, I still did not want to go through the same thing twice. I managed to hide behind a wall locker, my heart racing steadily in my chest.“Alicia,” I heard someone ca
CHAPTER 010ALICIA’S POV.Before he could recover from the impact of the first slap, my anger doubled right within me, causing my hand to connect again with the left side of his face, “how dare you!” I yelled out.Tears burned at the back of my head, the stinking smell of the blood that had stuck on my face, either from the helmet because it was hard on my face or from what they did annoyed me. Even when I was with Walter, it never got this bad.He would beat me some days, but never torture me to the point of drawing blood. Scars were his utmost priority, and he always made sure I had them.But this bastard left me on a chair and allowed these measly guards who wouldn’t stand a chance with me when I was Luna, beat me and do whatever they liked.“I’ve told you, and I would continue to tell you,” I blew hot in his face, stepping closer and bringing my hot face near to his, “I have no fucking idea what you’re talking about! I don’t know how the ducking mark got to my wrist!” I shoved my
CHAPTER 011ARTFOLD’S POV.“Here we are, if you want to change your mind and enjoy my torture instead, you still have the time to do that.”I watched the way she took in the entire thing, the way her eyes widened and gauged it as if she could read every possible entrance and outline of the towering walls of greenery that she was about to enter. The maze. If there was one thing I’ve learned from being the alpha and also witches, she would not survive the maze at all.I had no idea what it did to them, but the maze was one place they never dared to enter. And if she was one, she would die inside. Maybe if she died, the mark would leave her and my memories of my dear mate would return.“Can I do this tomorrow? And start?”“Nope,” I replied immediately, making sure the ‘p’ sound popped out. “You start now. Since you badly want out, I’m badly giving it to you too.” She turned to me, her tattered and bruised body making my heart worry a little. What if she actually died in the maze? What
CHAPTER 12ARTFOLD’S POV A knock on the door disrupted what I was doing, my head snapping towards it with creased lines of annoyance on my forehead before calling out to whoever was there to come in. Two guards marched in, stopping in front of my desk and bowing both their heads at me,“Your highness, we were asked to come and report.” One of them said,The lines on my forehead deepened and my eyes squinted with curiosity, lifting my left brows for them to continue, “what report?”“About the lady in the maze. She’s not out yet. The beta asked us to come and tell you that.” Realization set in as my mouth formed an ‘o’, leaning back into my chair. I clenched my jaw, rubbing my hand on my forehead. Since yesterday afternoon that she has gone in, she hasn’t been out. Although I didn’t care much, I gave her two days and when the time passed, I would go there to search for her.But a certain someone was so worried about her, and has not been able to concentrate on his work since morning.
CHAPTER 013ALICIA’S POVA low groan escaped my lips before my eyes fluttered slowly, the first thing registering on my brain, a pair of glasses sitting on the bridge of the nose of the male doctor whose eyes were wide open and staring at my face in curiosity. I fluttered my lashes close before blinking it open again, this time our eyes boring directly into each other and his eyes going wider than before.He jumped away from me, his hand flying to his chest, “you scared me!”I closed my eyes again, opening it back to glance through the room I was in. I squeezed my face to myself before managing to lift myself up to sit up on the bed. I was in a new room, one I’ve never seen before, a white blanket covering my body and, with crumbled brows, medical instruments all around me, “Where am I?” I turned back to the doctor and asked. “You’re in my clinic. You fainted after the alpha sent you to God knows where and you were delivered to me here. The alpha will be here soon, I already called
