Ruby's expression was already awful. But with so many pairs of eyes watching her, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and step forward.

She picked up the fork, twirled a small bite of pasta, and put it into her mouth.

After chewing for a few seconds, her eyes lit up.

She probably found the food delicious and not as terrifying as she had imagined.

She took another bite and even complimented, "The King's personal chef is amazing."

"I've already tested it. There's absolutely no problem."

  • Tasting Death for the Alpha King   Chapter 14

    The last trace of color on his face drained completely.I continued, "Go back to your territory. Go back to being your high and mighty Alpha King.""I'm just an ordinary woman who wanted freedom. I just want to live a normal person's life."His Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't say another word.I bent down and picked up the velvet box. "Take it."He didn't reach out to take it.So I let the box drop into the snow by his feet.Then, I resolutely closed the door and locked it.There was no sound outside the door for a long time.So long that I thought he had already given up and left.But after a long while, his hoarse voice finally came from outside the door."Elsie, this time, I'm truly letting you go."I closed my eyes. Tears fell silently.These tears weren't for him.They were for the girl who had been trapped in the Alpha estate for seven whole years.The sound of footsteps outside gradually faded away, finally disappearing into the wind and snow.When I opened the door again,

    But he didn't force his way in. He just stood quietly outside the door, letting the freezing snow fall on his shoulders."I looked for you for a long time."My fingertips grew cold. "You promised you wouldn't force me back to the pack...""I know."He said in a low voice, "I'm not here to take you back."I didn't believe him at all. My body's defense mechanisms reacted faster than my brain.I slammed my hand forward to shut the door.But before the door could close, he suddenly started coughing violently.He coughed as if his lungs were tearing apart.When he covered his lips with a handkerchief, the black blood he coughed up faintly seeped through.My motion to close the door froze.He noticed my gaze and forced a bitter smile."It's nothing.""Just some internal injuries left over from before."I gripped the door tightly. My voice was as hard as ice."The Alpha King has a noble status. Since you're injured, you naturally have top-tier pack healers to care for you.""My place is too s

  • Tasting Death for the Alpha King   Chapter 12

    I thought I would never hear any news about that pack ever again in this lifetime.But one afternoon half a year later, Nora came in through the back door. She looked at me with a complicated expression."There's some huge news coming from North America."I was holding a steamer, organizing the clothes on the racks. Hearing this, my hands paused for a moment.Nora walked up to me and lowered her voice."I heard there was a massive purge in the Alpha King's territory."The sharp edge of a hanger accidentally cut my fingertip. A bead of blood instantly swelled up.I lowered my head, wiped it away with a tissue, and pretended that nothing happened."What happened?""That Rogue faction that kept trying to assassinate the King was completely wiped out.""This purge implicated countless undercover spies.""I heard the Wolfsbane incident in the kitchen was just the tip of the iceberg.""The car bombs, sniper assassinations, and illegal drug smuggling from the past few years were all done by t

  • Tasting Death for the Alpha King   Chapter 11

    I originally thought that madman Xavier would change his mind and send people to hunt me down.One day, two days, three days passed.The bulletproof car sped south the whole way. There were no pursuers behind me, nor were there any spies belonging to the pack.I finally dared to believe that I had really escaped.A few days later, I arrived in a sunny human city by the coast.This place was thousands of miles away from the werewolf territories in North America.It was so far away that no one had ever heard of any Alpha King, and no one knew who Elsie was.I used the cash the Elder Luna gave me to rent a small house with a yard by the sea.The house wasn't big, but opening the window gave me a view of the blue ocean.The landlady was a very warm, plump woman.Seeing that I was all alone, she casually asked if I was here on vacation.I smiled and said I wanted a change of environment to start life over.I didn't pry any further. She just patted me cheerfully on the shoulder."A girl need

  • Tasting Death for the Alpha King   Chapter 10

    I looked up and stared at him.This Alpha King I had personally served for so many years.He used to pin me in the corner when he lost control during his rut. He'd use a hoarse, lust-filled voice to command me to never leave.But in the very next second, because of my instinctive trembling, he'd furiously release his Alpha aura and crush me against the floor.He'd drape his black cashmere coat over my shoulders in the winter.But in the very next second, just because I nodded in greeting to a young male servant, he'd banish that servant to the border to dispose of Rogue corpses.I had thought about it countless times.If he was just an absolute demon through and through, maybe I could hate him more purely.But he'd occasionally show a little bit of gentleness.That bit of gentleness was like honey smeared on the edge of a blade.As long as you dared to take a lick, your entire mouth would be cut bloody.I took a deep breath, met his crimson eyes, and spoke firmly, "Yes.""I want to lea

    My blood ran completely cold.He knew exactly how to trap me.Over the years, he had thoroughly figured out all my weaknesses.I could endure his rough treatment, and I could withstand his terrifying Alpha aura.But I absolutely couldn't watch others die because of me.Especially the head maid. She had risked her life to speak up for me today.If Xavier truly went crazy, he could send every servant in the estate to the fighting pits.I looked at him. My voice trembled."This has nothing to do with them."Xavier said lightly, "But you leaving makes me unhappy.""If I'm unhappy, someone else has to pay the price for you."Ruby was slumped in the spilled wine, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe."Elsie, I'm begging you!""Please don't go!""I don't want to test his food. I really don't want to die!"I looked down at her.She was finally regretting it.Not because she understood what I had been through all these years.But only because that suffering had now crashed down on her own h
