Semua Bab Alpha King Darius: Bab 11 - Bab 20

JULIETTEI thought after confronting Darius, he would think of some sick punishment to subject me to, but instead, he sent a guard to unbind and carry me back to my room.Again, Stacy and Ria found their way into my life. Somehow, they were assigned to properly bathe and clothe me. Ria also brought back the meal from earlier, but it wasn't stale, it was steamed back to perfection.I didn't refuse their help this time, I needed the break from acting all strong, so I ate as much as I could. Each dish ended up neatly wiped off the plate, and they watched, which I cared less about.“We are really sorry, Juliette,” Ria said as she cleared the table, while I emptied the cup of water in my mouth.I swallowed and wiped my mouth. “Do you still have the ointment?” I asked, ignoring the flimsy apology they were tossing my way.“Yeah,” Stacy said, reaching into her pocket and pulling it out. She placed it in my hand and I opened the bottle and took little portions of the oil, dabbing my bruised a

JULIETTEHeading back to my room, I adjusted the shoulder strap of my dress, but the zipper stubbornly stuck halfway despite my attempts to pull it up.I tried not to stick my mind on the words Darius had whispered into my ear, but it didn't matter how hard I tried, my body was still tingling from his touch and his words, which were playing on repeat.*Neither do I…*Darius asked me to leave after his strange confession. He was in such a hurry that he grabbed my arm and led me out himself, slamming the door in my face, as though I was the cause of his problems.Confused, I silently left, but met a surprise that made my blood boil.“Why are you still here?”Ria stepped forward, fiddling with her fingers, “Please, Juliette, just hear us out, and we will explain the reason for our actions.”“Why should I give you a chance? So you can find some lame excuse to call me a whore again?” I raised my brows, questioning their intent.Stacy shook her head, also stepping forward, she pointed her f

DARIUS“Alpha Darius.” Cole popped out of the crowd, hurrying to where I stood, still reeling from the thrill of Juliette's defiance.I could still feel the faint sting on my cheek, and it just made me marvel at what unknown source kept refueling the audacity of this petite-looking woman.Her glossy eyes peered into mine, as her chest rose and fell. Her lips twitched, but she didn't speak, her throat shook as she gulped, with her chin raised high.She didn't look away, nor did she move from her spot. Frozen, she remained, just like a statue.“Give me the go-ahead, Alpha. I will teach this nobody a lesson.” Cole gritted out beside me.“No,” I growled, disliking the idea of anyone touching what belongs to me, and that pulled my mind back to the bastard who dared to hit Juliette.I let my gaze wander to where he stood, his face etched with fake concern. That was enough, an image of his face implanted in my memory. He was surely going to face my wrath for disobeying my command.I turned b

JULIETTE“Hey pumpkin, what are you drawing?” My mom, in all her beauty and grace, asked as she stepped out of the kitchen in her sunflower apron, and a rag in her hand. She carefully wiped her fingers and plunged into the seat next to me at the dining table.“Hey, Mom, I am drawing a family portrait of me, you, and Dad. I was going to add Aunt Karla, but she's barely around.” I smiled, my entire teeth on display.My mom pinched my cheek and stared down at the cardboard paper I was painting on.She gasped, her eyes widening, “It's beautiful pumpkin.” She gently held my chin and shook it. “My sweetheart is so talented. I wonder who she got it from.”“You!” I screamed, jumping on my seat, ignoring the fact that I could stumble and fall off.My mom grasped my shoulder, forcing me to stay in place, as she chuckled lightly, “Careful, pumpkin, you could fall, and I don't want you getting hurt.”“Sorry, Mom,” I held the tip of my ear, tendering an apology. “I am just really excited that you

JULIETTEDarius finally permitted me to return to my room, and the first thing I did was jump on my bed and open up the book, ready to explore the documentaries and stories of the Diplomatic Goddess.I read, my heart hammering in my chest from excitement, page to page, I read, starting with the origin of Kianka. The book described her as tall, beautiful, sharp, witty, smart, intelligent, and defiant. She was the last child of the Alpha's commander, General Andres. Born in the 1800s, she was raised in the Silvarian Pack and was trained to marry the Alpha's heir, Elyan.Kianka was young, sweet, and pure. She was full of life and had a zeal for adventures, but all that was cut short at 15, the age she was betrothed to the Alpha's heir. Their marriage was set for two days later, and within that short span of time, Kianka managed to convince her soon-to-be husband to wait until she came of age and found her wolf.During this period, Kianka was called a witch, who had used her charm on her
