“I will not remain passive while you abuse and defame my partner!” he exclaimed directly at me. “If you cannot extend a modicum of courtesy to Bria, I will cease to be your Beta. I can no longer serve as a Beta to the ruthless and monstrous king you have become!”
I never anticipated Don to confront me so assertively; he has never addressed me in this way, and I am currently astounded by his remarks. How can he be prepared to discard everything we have shared solely because of this trivial woman? Is he genuinely intent on relinquishing his status as my Beta? All due to his female dog?
“Don, are you genuinely serious at this moment?!” I enquired to confirm that my hearing was not misleading me. I wish to ascertain that my auditory perception is not deceiving me.
“Indeed, I am. I apologise, Robert, but I can no longer serve as your Beta. I cherish my mate and wish to ensure her safety, thus I must distance myself from you,” he said, tightening his grip around her waist and drawing her nearer.
He is indeed serious! Our years of camaraderie have been tarnished due to a woman. However, that is acceptable; I no longer require his presence. He merely reminds me of my wickedness. He may even proceed to liberate Jessica and facilitate her escape. Alternatively, attempt to save that fraudulent associate when I apprehend him once more. He ought to maintain a considerable distance from me as well.
“If that is your preference, then I have no objections. From this point forward, you will no longer be my Beta. I am better off without you. Ensure that you restrain this individual and prevent her from visiting Jessica,” I stated before preparing to enter. However, he commenced speaking, prompting me to halt my progress.
“Robert,” Don addressed me, “I trust you rectify your errors before it becomes too late. Although I am no longer your Beta, I will always remain concerned for you due to our historical connection.”
“I appreciate your concern, but it is unnecessary. Please leave immediately!” I responded bluntly to him.
He grasped his companion’s hand, and they both exited the palace. I wish to never encounter them again, ineffectual beings!
Jessica’s Position
Tears streamed down my face due to the overwhelming sense of inadequacy I was experiencing at that moment. Bria has just been forcibly removed by the Alpha King, and I was powerless to assist her. I currently feel ineffectual.
“However, it is not your responsibility; you would have assisted her had you not been occupied,” my wolf reassured me placidly.
Indeed, it is accurate. Had my hands and legs not been restrained, I would have exerted every effort to rescue her from his grasp.
The lethal and icy shadow in his dark eyes reveals his intense desire to kill Bria. Numerous factors contribute to his feelings.
Initially, Bria is the sister of Jimmy, and he may have discovered this fact. Despite our collective efforts to maintain secrecy, particularly on Don’s part, we were aware that eventually, the Alpha King would discover the truth. Concealing information from him is challenging; he possesses an extensive network of observation and effortlessly acquires any desired intelligence.
The second explanation for his previous anger may be that he overheard our conversation about Jimmy. He has cautioned me numerous times about mentioning Jimmy’s name to anyone. However, I am unable to restrain myself; I profoundly miss my companion and would undertake any action to liberate him from the clutches of the Alpha King.
It has been one day since my separation from Jimmy, and I am experiencing profound loneliness and sadness. I am concerned for him; I am uncertain about what the Alpha-King has inflicted upon him.
I recalled Bria’s earlier admonition to distrust the Alpha-King’s words. She is correct; the Alpha-King is a beast, and beasts should not be trusted. He assured me he would not kill Jimmy if I remained with him, but what if he has already murdered Jimmy? What if my companion is no longer present? What if he has just returned after murdering Jimmy and intends to kill Bria as well?
Oh Divine Goddess, please rescue Bria from the Alpha-King. I implore you, dear Goddess, to prevent any misfortune from befalling her.
The door swung wide, and the potent aroma of the Alpha-King permeated my senses. He was exceedingly irate and remained positioned behind the door, gazing at me.
My heart races rapidly, and I tremble with fear. I am apprehensive about what he may have inflicted upon Bria. Given his current expression of anger, I am certain he has just harmed my best friend.
“Where is Bria? What have you done to my closest friend?” I enquired, my voice trembling with fear.
