Alexander’s POV
.
“You don’t behave like you when you talk with her.”, I heard Liam, my bodyguard cum my best friend speaking when I disconnected the call.
“I know.”
“So, this is your genuine feeling or you’re putting on some act.”
“You know me, right?”
“Yeah! That’s why it’s hard to believe that you fell in love at first sight.”
“I don’t think it is love.”, I corrected him. “It’s just I felt something for her that I never felt for anyone or with anyone before.”, I added. “Some connection or some bond…”
“You sound like those monsters talking about Mate Bond.”, Liam joked.
“Don’t talk about those dogs.”, I snarled at him. “I had underestimated them by thinking them as stupid monsters but they are clearly not at all stupid. They tried to kill my dad and that day is not that far when they will harm my other family members as well. So, we have to find their Alpha as soon as possible.”, Immediately my tone changed into a serious one.
“But the werewolf that we have caught is not ready to open his mouth.”
“If that is so then he is of no use to us and when he is of no use to us then he doesn’t need to stay alive anymore.”, Saying this, I left the room in anger.
I was fuming in anger by thinking about those dogs. I remembered one of them had killed my mother in front of me. They would have killed me as well if my father would not have reached there in time. I so much wanted to release my anger on those dogs and the torture would begin from him.
I thought looking at the person tied with silver chains. My nose scrunched when I walked toward him. The atmosphere was filled with the smell of blood.
“I came to know that you swore not to open your mouth.”, I said while the person lifted his head to see me. I immediately made a foul face as soon as his eyes landed on me.
I smiled, picked up a silver knife from the nearby table, and reached near him. I walked toward him and admired the work done by my men wounding him all his body, and a silver ring on his neck which was attached to the wall securing him in one place only.
I saw dry blood on his cheeks and a few parts of his body. He was looking awful and nasty just like these dogs looks after the treatment we gave them. His eyes stare at me gravely, his lips slowly move, might be cursing me under his breath.
“I know what can make you open your mouth.”, I said and showed him my mobile.
“Dare you to touch her, you pathetic human.”, He spat on my face. I balled my fist as my instinct was saying to kill him instantly but instead, I smiled.
“Observing your anger, I believe that she is close to you OR I say, she is your better half, your mate.”, I mocked him on which he started to fight with the silver chains which was causing him nothing more than pain.
I placed the silver knife on his cheek and started cutting his cheeks slowly and mercilessly.
“Tell me about your pack and your Alpha if you want the safety of your pack.”
“NEVER”, He shouted in pain.
I instantly jammed my fist in his ribs on which he cried in pain. I held his hair angrily and pulled it to make him face toward me.
“Fine then, see the live show that how your wife will get raped.”, Saying this, I signaled one of my men to start the prosector.
‘Please let go of me…please…’, I saw his wife begging when one of my men was dragging her on the floor by holding her hair.
“You BASTARD!! She is a human, not a werewolf-like me.”, That culprit shouted at my face again but I just smiled. I enjoyed torturing him mentally. He tried to free himself again but failed miserably. Because with the effect of wolfsbane he was just like a human, just like me.
I observed how he was getting weak with each passing second. My man threw his wife on the bed and was ready to land on her.
I fisted my hand and tried to control my anger. Anger was bubbling inside my chest for what I was doing to this poor lady.
“Stop. Please ask him to stop.”, He cried. “I will tell everything just ask him to stop.”, I smirked knowing my plan worked.
Without wasting my time, I asked Liam to stop the show.
“I don’t belong to any pack.”, He answered. “My pack was destroyed by your father, killing almost every one of us 17 years before.”., He added.
“Almost? It means there are a few dogs which survived in that attack, didn’t they?”, He gulped nervously and nodded his head. “It means today or tomorrow they will attack us, again.”, I concluded. “So, tell me the name and details of the person who survived in that attack. I will ask an artist to visit you and you will help him to draw the pictures of everyone.”, I ordered him.
“There were not many. Just the Alpha’ family and a few pups.”, I shook my head in disappointment when I heard him. Leaving anyone alive after the attack meant leaving enemies alive. I had to find them and kill them personally before they attack my family again.
“How many kids and who all were there in Alpha family?”
“Three kids, including me. And Alpha and Luna had a daughter.”
“So, the next heir is a girl?”, I asked to which he shook his head.
“No.”, He quickly shook his head. “Alpha lost his daughter when she was two in an accident.”
“So, she’s dead?”, I asked and found him hesitating for a while.
“Ye…Yes!”
“By the way, what was the name of your pack?”
“Golden! Golden Moon Pack”
“Well, thank you for the information”, I smiled and without warning, I cut his throat with the silver knife. “Liar.”, I muttered, seeing his half-dead body. I was sure that he would die soon after losing so much blood. Moreover, there was no way that his body could heal himself without the absence of his wolf.
I felt someone’s presence behind me.
“Dispose of this body within 15 minutes, Liam.”, I said, checking the time. “We have to leave for the airport after that.”
“Did you find anything useful from him?”
“I can’t say anything about it yet. But the hesitation in his voice was making me feel that he had lied a few things, especially about the heir.”, I answered truthfully. “And I really can’t ask my man to rape his wife just because his husband is a douche.”, I added.

The moment I sat comfortably in my car, which was at the airport to receive me. I checked my phone again. I frowned, finding no message from her.
‘Did she already sleep without sending any message to me?’, I thought.
“To home or the hospital, Sir?”, Driver asked.
“To the hospital.”, I ordered. I had to check on my father first.
“Why don’t you text her then?”, Liam said, observing my expression.
I didn’t say anything to him but kept my phone aside, trying to analyze what was happening to me? I never felt this way before. I mean waiting for someone’s message or call.
“Don’t complicate things, buddy. If you miss her then tell her that you miss her. She is no god who will come to know everything on her own. And that's the mistake we guys make i.e. we start assuming and expecting things from others but don’t do it on our own.”
And if she was alive then what would she be doing right now? Planning to attack me or my family again?
