Chapter 3

Phoebe's POV 

For the two days we journeyed, I only took water. I just kept on thinking about my life and how it will soon end but then I had promised that before I die, I was going to fight to live. I won't die easily.

We alighted from the plane and we went to the Alpha King's throne room.

Gusssh! I had thought that my house was beautiful but this is just like me dropping by in heaven. Everywhere was looking so white and beautiful. I knew that those who chose the decorations of this place must have thought it over, over a million times. Although I don't have time to check the place out because of my hatred for coming here, I was still wowed with the little I saw.

Looking at the throne before me. It was as if it was sparkling. I wondered if it has electricity in it or if it is made of precious stones. I can't even guess the colour. The chair was huge and it was indeed for the King. There was no Queen seat and I understood that the Alpha King always kills his women.

I was expecting to see the Alpha King on his throne since it was still afternoon but none was there. I wasn't surprised, I just wanted to see the man that has lived for almost a millennium.

"Miss Phoebe Wesson, welcome to the Royal Palace of King Jayson McCoy" the woman who looked like a middle aged woman said to me.

I know she's not middle aged. I just wondered how old she would be. I didn't even reply to her greeting and she didn't care either. 

Isn't Jayson McCoy the name of the great grandson? How then was he named King? Did the Alpha King retire? 

I had a lot of questions but none to reply. 

"I will lead you to your room" she said to me.

I followed her with a blank face and I was taken to a room. Every decoration in it was all pink. It was as if it's some Barbie that sleeps in there.

"Miss, I didn't know your colour, so I made it a feminine colour. I hope you like it" she said to me.

The woman seemed nice but then I didn't expect anyone good around the Alpha King. It's all a pretence to lure me to my death.

I snarled at her and her smiles disappeared.

"I hate pink" I growled at her.

"What colour do you prefer?" She asked me.

I gave her a haughty look. I wanted to tell her my favourite colour but then I didn't want to make people know me. I want them all to hate me.

"Black" I said to her and the shock registered in her face.

Soon I was sent outside because they were trying to change the decorations and things in my room to black. I was told to sit at the reception. The woman strictly warned me not to go anywhere but as I was here to do every opposite of what I am told, I stood up and started to wonder about it.

The Alpha King must have loved artworks because they are mostly what beautified the palace. Some maids who were well dressed looked at me and gave me a mocking look. I didn't care about them all. I just kept wandering around. Then I heard music. My weakness.

I walked towards the place but a guard stopped me.

"Sorry this place is out of bounds for anyone" he said to me.

I felt crestfallen and I turned back but the music kept calling me. It was really sweet to my ears and then the stubborn me came out. I then came up with a trick I do use to distract anyone.

I removed my stretchy hair bond and then tore part of my blouse. I then rolled the two together and released it like a catapult. It ran as if it's some flying snake. The guard saw it and went after it and this gave me quick access to sneak in.

The place was dark but I could see with my wolf's eyes. The music was low and very sweet. In the room was a different artwork of musical instruments. The music stopped all of a sudden and I noticed a swift movement.

"I think you just decided to make our death quick" my wolf, Angel told me and I know she just said the truth.

The aura I could feel was so dangerous and powerful. We're they keeping a monster in this room? But I was vigilant. Monsters can't play music or can they? None to answer my question.

As vigilant as I was, I didn't even know when a hand curled around my neck. It was until I was choking that I realised it. How swift this monster is. 

"How dare you come in here?" He growled in a low voice and all the cells in my body vibrated.

I'm so dead. Even his voice can kill a whale.

"How do you expect to answer when you are choking me?" I didn't know how I still got the mouth to speak.

Even though he is a monster, the truth must be told, he smells nice. His fragrance was so rich. He must have been well taken care of. I think he should be reeking with blood all over him.

He tightened his hand more and soon I will die. I must fight even if I'm the one who trespassed. I held my hand into a fist and tried to figure out where his face could be, so I hit him hard on the face.

I was expecting my hand to hit something hard and rough but it hit something smooth like a face. He didn't release his hand and he tightened it the more but he groaned in pain.

"How dare you hit me!" He growled to my ear fiercely.

My fist didn't get his hand off me. I'm so dead.

"You.... were… choking… me" I replied as if he is still not choking me.

I was holding his hand so that I could breathe but he wouldn't bulge.

"I didn't bring you here," he said to me.

I know he is angry but I didn't want to die just a few hours after I arrived at this pack. 

"I know, but that doesn't mean I must die here," I snapped.

I was courting real death and I know that. Well I should distract him so I can think of how to escape his grip.

"And if I kill you?" He asked me.

That question scared me but I must be brave.

"I can't die now. I must survive at least to see the so-called Alpha King and his monster of a great grandson who can't get himself a woman, that he has to threaten poor families to send their daughters to him. He's such an incompetent one" I said in anger.

I wasn't lying about what I said. I was going to make sure I make life a hell for that monster of a great grandson. I don't mind dying.

I heard a growl behind me and I shook. Well he is their Alpha prince and I just insulted him. So this monster will surely defend his prince.

"You are bold," he said stiffly.

The heat of his blood was already making me hot all over. This monster is really dangerous and I'm toiling with it.

"Monster, I don't care what you think but then I am an enemy to that great grandson because he disrupted my life and I won't let him have peace" I said confidently as if I was capable of doing anything.

The Alpha prince is a legend and no one dares to toil with him. I don't know if I have the courage to talk to a monster like this. I am already at his mercy and yet I'm still talking against his Alpha prince. The devil that is interested in my death, is really at work.

"Interesting," the monster said.

Surprisingly the monster released my neck and I turned to look at him. I couldn't see him well and I wondered why that happened. My wolf eyes were supposed to see him clearly.

"You also hate the Alpha Prince?" I asked him.

Looking at his hand, I saw a large wolf tattoo. His hands, aside from the claws, were looking normal. They must have kept him captive in this room.

I moved closer to him and tried to look at him again but I couldn't see him clearly.

"If you are being kept captive, I can help you escape," I said to him.
