Chapter 3

ALPHA DEREK'S POV

I sat on my king-sized and well-decorated chair, with all grace and honor, I looked around my subjects surrounding me waiting to hear my verdict.

"Come closer", I beckoned to one of my guards who stood by my right. He walked up to me, bowed, and bent toward me.

"Get him!" I ordered and he left, two other guards behind me walked ahead and left with him.

I had ruled over the whole of the community, for years. I took after my father, the alpha of alpha's title had been with my family since no one could remember, and they had passed it to the next generation.

Every single offspring from our lineage was super strong, we had never been defeated in any fight or whatever.

Ruling over the whole community, strong packs, humans, vampires, animals, and every other creature including supernatural beings and normal human beings.

They dragged an old man of about fifty-two years and made him stand a meter away from me with his head bowed and his hands folded behind his back.

"So it's you?" I asked and chuckled loudly.

He stood in front of me trembling like a leaf about to be crushed by a big truck.

"I gave orders that your daughter should be brought to me, I gave that orders because I saw what I needed in her. She is worthy to serve me, worthy to fulfill all the taxes, worthy of everything I mean she has everything I need in a strong female reliable servant. Why did you send my words back to me?" I thundered and he was mute.

I had seen his daughter a few days ago fight and beat up three boys with so much ease. I fell in love with her fighting spirit and needed to make her one of my reliable female servants and soldiers who fought together with me in wars... I had sent words to her family, that she should be prepared and brought to my mansion, so she would be trained together with other females, for an upcoming war with another pack.

Her dad had sent the guard back to me, to tell me that he wasn't interested in giving out his daughter as a servant. He would rather marry her off to a rich man, or would wait until she found her mate.

Her dad was an omega who dreamt high for the future of high of his omega daughter. 

"So I want you Mr, to repeat what you had told my guard in front of everyone... But on a serious note, I do not believe you sent my words back to me knowing the consequences", I said.

He went to his knees as tears began to fall freely from his eyes. "Have mercy on me, my lord, I do not have the right to disobey you and it wasn't my wish. I do not want to give out my only daughter as a mere soldier servant who may die in a war, and end my lineage", he pleaded and my eyes widened.

"You have so much guts to speak and I haven't commanded you to?" I asked.

If I didn't say speak no one more especially the women, had the guts to speak in front of me. The men were permitted if they were alpha's, or powerful elders of the council and we were having a conversation or argument.

"Please have mercy on me, my lord, I thought you had asked me to speak. Please do not take my daughter I beg of you", he pleaded.

"Get the girl", I ordered and in no time she was brought in front of me. "This will serve as a warning to every other person who wants to follow his step without thinking about it. You will take her to the river, make her take the oath baptize her and bring her back, she would join the female soldier servant whether she likes it or not", I commanded.

I wasn't only giving my judgment to please myself but also to please the family of my betas, which she had fought with and injured their sons. Somehow she had to pay for it.

The girl was dragged out of my presence mercilessly while a wicked grin formed on my face.

"Now to you, you dare disobey my orders huh? You already know what your fate should be", I said and smirked.

"Get me his head!" I ordered and he started wailing and begging for mercy.

His wife also came out of the crowd, fell to the floor, and started wailing and begging the crowd to help her plead on behalf of her husband for my mercy. My guard walked up to him, raised his very sharp machete, and chopped off the head of the old man.

The head was brought to me and placed on the floor beside my leg, I placed my leg on top of it and smiled mischievously.

The woman kept wailing uncontrollably, and I could tell her scream increased at the sight of her husband's head on the floor.

"Take her!" I ordered pointing to the woman.

My guards seized her and she kept wailing without struggling to free herself from their grip.

"Kill me! Kill me please, let me join my husband", she wailed.

"Lock her up in my dungeon, keep her there without food or water for two days. Then make sure to feed her afterward, only once a day with dry beans", I ordered and they dragged her away forcefully.

I had just returned from a conquered war with enough servants, and a neighboring pack had intruded in our pack, they had a beef with my beloved beta, one of my most trusted, and the alpha of the pack killed my beta, I had to go there and settle the scores with them.

I killed every single soul, every powerful wolf in the pack, and returned with the weak ones and the alpha of the pack as my slave. 

We were on our way back from the pack with our servants when I saw the girl fighting. I had to send my guards to her father's house, and her father sent him back to me that he wasn't going to give up his daughter as a slave.

My subjects had come to celebrate my victory, while my betas came to report the incident that transpired between their sons and his daughter... 

"The celebration is over!" I announced and they all started to leave one after another, they murmured in groups, as they dispatched from the place. My guards carried his body for disposal, while I ordered for his head to be hanged in my sacred room where other sixty thousand heads had been hung by me.

My father hung ninety thousand heads in his sacred room, while my grandfather hung seventy-nine thousand heads... I had vowed to do more than them.

I stood up and walked inside to freshen up. It had been a hectic day, and I needed to attend the engagement party of my alpha friend. My friend the alpha of another neighboring pack was getting engaged and had sent a special invitation to me, although a specific date had not been fixed.
