{THAT SAME NIGHT ~ THE DUNGEON}
The guards standing in front of the dungeons door bowed and greeted Derrick as he approached them.
They unlocked the iron door for him and he stepped inside the dungeon were Roxanne was locked in.
She quickly rose up from the cold ground she was sitting on when Derrick stepped inside the dungeon.
“Greetings….”
Derrick suddenly grabbed her neck and her words got stuck in her throat. Shock was clearly written on Roxanne’s face as Derrick gripped her neck.
“You daree to my chamber and lie to me?, How condescending.” He said with a devilish smile.
“You really think I wouldn’t find out that you were lying?, Is that how foolish you think I am?, I guess you don’t have a single likeness for your life.” Derrick added, his grip tightening around her neck.
Roxanne began gasping for airand her face was bing red. Thick veins were already appearing on her neck.
“I… I’m sorry.. a… alpha…” Roxanne managed to speak, and Derrick smirked devilishly.
“You should have thought of the consequences of lying to me beforeing to my chamber to lie to me.” He said and his eyes changed to green, then long as sharp ws started sprouting out from his fingers.
Before Roxanne could blink her eyes, Derrick thrusted his ws deep into her chest and he ripped out her heart.
Roxanne gasped loudly and took herst breathe, then Derrick threw her lifeless body across the dungeon.
Roxanne’s lifeless body crashed on the ground with a loud thud.
Derrick walked out of the dungeon with Roxanne’s heart in his left hand, and blood dripping from his ws.
“Burn her body into ashes and dispose this.” Derrick said to one of the guards outside the dungeon, and he handed Roxanne’s heart to the guard.
Fear gripped the guard and his hands became shaky as he collected the heart from Derrick.
Derrick could feel the guard’s fear and that infuriated him so much. Fear was another thing he hated, and seeing the fear in the guard’s eyes, he grabbed the guard in a sh and ripped off his head from his neck.
Shivers ran up the spines of the remaining guards when saw the head of their colleague rolling on the ground.
They were all scared but they dared not show it. They just stared at the alpha in horror.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
Derrick turned his gaze to another guard, and cold fear gripped the guard when Derrick’s red eyes met with his. But the guardposed himself and hid his fear so as not to end like the other guard whose head got ripped off by Derrick.
Derrick walked towards the guard with his red eyes and long sharp ws.
The guard kept a straight face as Derrick stood in his front.
Derrick looked for any sign of fear in the guard’s eyes, and when he found none, his eyes changed back to normal and his ws retracted back into his fingers.
“Burn the body of that weakling and also the body of the bitch inside the dungeon.” Derrick ordered, and the guard nodded sharply with a borrowed courage.
Derrick turned around and he walked out of the ce.
All the guards guarding the dungeon heaved a breathe of relief when Derrick left.
“Am I the only one who almost pass out when the alpha ripped off Jordan’s head?” One of the guards asked, and they all stared at their colleague’s decapitated body on the ground.
“Jeez! Jordan was a good guy, but it seems like luck wasn’t’t on his side this night.” Another said, and they all shook their head in pity as one of the guards carried the decapitated body out of the ce.

{THE NEXT MORNING ~ ORTEGA AND PRISCILLA’S ROOM}
Ortega slowly opened her eyes as the sun reflected on her face through the open blinds in the room.
She groaned as her eyes tried to adjust to the brightness. Her eyes finally adjusted to the it and she nced around her to realize that she was now in her and Prisci’s room in the maids quarter.
The door opened and she saw Prisci walking inside the room with a tray of food in her hands.
Ortega managed to sit upright in the bed and she winced when she felt pains in between her legs. Both her legs were also paining her.
“Are you okay?” Prisci asked worriedly as she dropped the te of food on the bedstand. 2
“Yeah. Yeah I’m fine.” Ortega nodded as the pain slowly subsided.
“Here is your breakfast.” Prisci handed the te of food to Ortega
Prisci watched as Ortega ate the food. They didn’t say a word to each other until Ortega finished eating.
“Why did youe to the alpha’s chamberst night?” Prisci asked as she collected the empty te from Ortega, cing it on the tray on the bedstand.
“Well…” Ortega hesitated. “I came to thank him for rescuing me from five heartless menst night.”
“He rescued youst night?”
“Yeah.” Ortega nodded.
“Okay, I have three questions for you,” Prisci stated.
“Okay?”
“First of all, how did you end up at the mercy of five heartless men and where did you gost night?” Prisci inquired.
“I followed one of the maids out of the pce.” Ortega replied.
“What!?” Prisci’s eyes popped open. “You don’t mean it.”
“I do.”
“Which maid? Why?” Prisci asked.
“Is that the second and third question?” Ortega asked back.
“What? No. But do you know the name of the maid you followed out of the pce and why did you follow her?” Prisci questioned.
Ortega climbed out of the bed and began walking towards the open door so that she’d close it.
“I don’t know the name of the maid.” Ortega replied as she finally got to the door.
“You don’t know the maid’s name and you followed her?!” Prisci asked in disbelief, and Ortega turned around before saying,
“I followed her because she said the head maid sent the both of us on an errand.”
“The name of that maid is Roxanne and she isn’t a good person.” Prisci said, and Ortega raised a questioning brow at her.
“And what makes you say that?” She inquired.
“Trust me, Ortega. I have been working in this pce for a long time and I know almost every maid and what they are capable of doing,” replied Prisci. “I know their characters, and trust me when I say that Roxanne isn’t someone you can trust or be friends with. She is a bitch.” Prisci added.
“Well, she seems cool to me.” Ortega said, and Prisci shook her head with a sigh.
“Roxanne isn’t cool, but anyway, how did you end up meeting the men after you and Roxanne left the pce?” Prisci threw thest question.
Ortega was mute for a few seconds before replying.
“While Roxanne and I were heading to where she said the head maid sent us, I lost my way. I tried calling for help but there was no one in the alley I was in. The alley was dark, ans I felt hopeless and helpless until I saw five men chatting andughing loudly. I thought they were good people but they were the exact opposite of what I thought. I thought they would help me out in my mess but I was so wrong.” She released a shaky breath, her hands trembling as the images ofst night filled her head.
She couldn’t shake off the images out of her head. She could hear their loud and tauntingughter… Their sarcastic replies… She could see the devilish smiles on their faces… She could feel their hands roaming over her body, making goosebumps rise in her arms as the feeling overshadowed her, making her feel so much disgusted with her body.
She could even feel the finger of the bastard that dared to insert his damn finger in her honeypot. The excitement that clouded their faces made her feel so nauseous and want to puke.
Their voices were like a piece of music she desperately wish she could put an end to. Her fear, plight, misery, and predicament were gradually taking the better part of her sense of reasoning.
Ortega started convulsing, gripping the door knob tightly as she squeezed her eyes shut.
Memories of what happenedst night morning filled her senses and she started hearing every one of their voices in her head – alpha Derrick’s voice and the voices of the five men who tried to rape her.
“Ortega are you alright?” Prisci asked from behind her.
Prisci’s voice went to the back of Ortega’s head, and as much as she tried to get a grip of herself, she couldn’t.
Prisci advanced toward her, looking worried and scared.
“Ortega, are you okay?” Prisci asked as she advanced towards Ortega.
Ortega could see Prisci’s lips moving but she heard nothing.
Darkness was slowly consuming her. She released the door locker she was gripping onto and staggered back.
She shook her head, trying to fight back against the unconsciousness but it was impossible. She was really feeling dizzy and her head was spinning around.
Ortega eventually stopped fighting the unconsciousness and just as she was slowly falling to the ground, someone caught her from behind.
It wasn’t her best friend because Prisci were standing in front of her, stunned and dumbstruck.
Ortega’s nose caught the familiar scent of the person, and as she was going to look at the face of the person who just saved her from falling to the ground, darkness eventually consumed her.
