Kapitel 5: Chapter 5 - Wanting to die
Valerie was running for cover when Alpha Denzel walked into the room. She never expected the cold, menacing Alpha to put a hold on his busy schedule because of her.
Did he derive so much joy in watching her suffer? What more could be his reason for urgently coming over at this time?
Not knowing whether to feel guilty or afraid, she struggled for words to explain her predicament when Alpha Denzel's gaze focused on the painting on the wall.
Being left alone in this simple house, she had been practicing her painting skills, which she hadn't done since turning eighteen.
The pack responsibilities left her with no time for herself, and not used to being idle, painting was the order of the day.
Alpha Denzel frowned at the lifeless painting hanging on the wall, which was a direct reflection of how Valerie felt at the moment.
Being a master at concealing his emotions, Alpha Denzel made it impossible for neither Valerie nor Adira to decipher exactly how he was feeling about the painting at that moment.
Enraged, he barked, "What is that?" Peeling the image off the wall, he tore it into shreds, slicing Valerie's heart with it. She had been at it throughout the day, only sipping water and willingly starving.
"You are not allowed to paint or do as you please."
No matter how she tried, her proud personality outweighed her fears, the moment the particles from the painting fell pitifully on the floor.
Without her wolf, the painting gave her solace but it was now gone. Unable to hold it in any longer, she screamed, "You should send me to the dungeon."
Adira was shocked but happy that Valerie was worsening her case. Who knew whether her stubbornness would cause Alpha Denzel to order her execution.
Even though Alpha Denzel had rejected Valerie, Adira was still insecure about Valerie's presence. The fact that Alpha Denzel was her second chance mate and both of them had not been paired by the moon goddess to anyone else awoke a lingering fear in her heart.
Adira had wished to be Alpha Denzel's mate when she turned 18. Having trained together for years, she had developed feelings for him, but Alpha Denzel was too consumed with the pain of losing his parents untimely.
The murderer was still unfound, same as the person who murdered his human mate.
Valerie could feel his burning gaze on her skin as she took snail steps backwards.
Having met so many Alphas in her lifetime, it was surprising that she never met one whose look could make her cower, losing her pride.
In the end, she was comforted that it was because she lost her wolf. Being human, it was understandable that she would be afraid of a man she knew had an Alpha wolf but then again, how come she never feared other Alphas including Alpha Tristan like she did Alpha Denver?
"You do not have the right to make a demand. Eat," Alpha Denzel commanded.
Adira watched everything unfold, waiting for the Alpha to order her to eliminate the bitch. Over her dead body would she allow the Alpha to develop feelings for his rejected second chance mate.
"No," Valerie growled, aiming to make him upset enough to throw her into the dungeon or order for her execution.
Even Adira trembled from her refusal as Valerie added, "I will not be your puppet. I will not allow you to torture me as you please. I want to starve to death."
Alpha Denzel's hands balled, and he took hurried steps, pinning her against the wall before she had the chance to escape.
His fingers clasped around her jaw, as he pressed it hard, forcing her gaze to remain on him. Valerie's heart thumped in her chest as she thought of ways to free herself.
Even as a skilled warrior, she was too weak from starvation.
Yet, no matter what she went through, Valerie couldn't allow the tears brining in the back of her eyes to fall, rather closing her eyes to avoid Alpha Denzel's burning gaze.
He snarled, "You have no right to choose the kind of death coming to you." His voice raised slightly. "I decide."
His voice lowered once again, but it was deep and loaded with anger.
"Since I'm busy, you need to be kept alive until I'm ready to give you your deserved punishment."
He moved away as swiftly as the wind. It was almost as if he hadn't just cornered her.
With his burning gaze still on her, he ordered, "Adira, feed her."
Adira quickly opened the food warmer. Pressing the fork into the hot steaming noodle, she twirled it around the fork and lifted it to Valerie's mouth, but before it touched her lips, she hit it.
The noodle wrapped around the fork fell on the floor of her bedroom. Alpha Denzel's gaze darkened as he took steps close to her, forcing her to take more backwards.
You want to die?"
Stubbornly, Valerie eagerly nodded her head. She was too proud to continue enduring humiliation. Since she already lost her dad and her pack, she had no regrets.
Her mother already died giving birth to Scarlet so emptiness was all she felt at the moment.
To her amazement, Alpha Denzel agreed, "Adira, drop the food and get me some hot coals of fire."
Fear covered Valerie's eyes as she saw the smirk in the corner of Adira's lips. She wanted to die by easy means like a gunshot.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't imagine hot coals being part of her plan. Her shoulders trembled, her voice shook.
"What are you going to do with hot coals?"
Alpha Denzel ignored her question and lit another cigarette the moment Adira left. As soon as he puffed, Valerie began to cough violently. He instantly walked to the washroom and dropped the cigarette in the toilet.
Valerie was shocked when he returned without the cigarette. "Did you discard it because I coughed?" She was insane to think that he cared but couldn't help asking.
Seeming irritated by her question, he scoffed. "You must think so highly of yourself."
Grabbing her slender arms, he dragged her out of the small room.
Adira had just arrived with two warriors carrying a metal grill loaded with hot coals.
Valerie felt uneasy. Alpha Denzel's casual dressing of blue jeans and a white shirt should make him less intimidating but that didn't seem like the case. His voice emitted ice.
"Drop it."
The metal grill was lowered to the ground as he ordered Valerie, "stand on it."
"What?" Valerie was horrified. This Alpha was so cruel.
"You want to die? This is the only way." Alpha Denzel stated his stance on the matter.

Kapitel 6: Chapter 6 – Finish what you started.
Valerie realized that he wanted to give her a very painful death. Swallowing tightly, she began to take steps towards the red-hot coals. Even the warriors were shocked.
The Alpha might be ruthless, but they also knew that he cared deeply for his pack members. If Valerie would just beg, the Alpha might reconsider.
Alpha Denzel was expressionless, but his dark gaze lingered on her. It was just a matter of time before he crushed the root of her pride.
Given the opportunity to embrace the death she wanted, Valerie reached the hot coals and stopped right beside them.
The heat from the red-hot coals warmed her feet through the flip flops she wore. Despite the chilly weather, she felt cold in the thin fabric on her body, given to her by Beta Adira.
Gritting her teeth, she removed her right foot from the flip flop, lifted it, and pressed it onto the hot coal. The smell of burning flesh filled the air as pain burned through her foot.
The warriors were aghast, but Beta Adira had a thin smile on her face, wishing the cheating woman would just die.
Valerie might be accustomed to a great amount of pain due to her training in her pack, but this pain was too much, she couldn't bear it.
Without her wolf, she felt completely human as tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly withdrew her foot, but two hot coals stuck underneath it, burning deeply. As she tried to remove them, she lost her balance.
Almost hitting the floor, she was surprised to be lifted in the air by a pair of strong arms before her body hit the ground.
The warmth emitted from Alpha Denzel's arms and his intoxicating scent wafted through her nose, destroying her brain cells.
He carefully removed the burning coals stuck under her foot without flinching from the heat. Though his fingers burned, they quickly healed.
Beta Adira's smile froze, replaced with jealousy, as she saw her Alpha's gaze soften for the first time, but it disappeared within a blink, replaced by irritation.
She began to wonder if she saw right the first time. The warriors sighed with relief that Luna Valerie hadn't allowed her stubbornness to drive her to her grave.
The fact could not be denied that she was very beautiful. Beads of sweat covered Valerie's face as she tried to endure the pain and not show how much it hurt.
Alpha Denzel waited patiently for her wound to heal, so he could proceed to the next step, but when that was not happening, he sensed something wrong.
"Call the pack doctor," he yelled. The instruction was directed at Adira, as he instructed the pack warriors, "take the coal away."
Valerie began to wiggle in his arms, fearing that he would suspect the loss of her wolf.
Though it hurt, she began to think of the worst kinds of painful deaths Alpha Denzel could give her. Perhaps she should escape with this option.
"I'm not done. I can do it." She struggled to pull away from him, but his grip only tightened, his gaze darkening with it.
Valerie didn't realize it when tears began to wet her cheeks. "I just want to die," she cried.
Alpha Denzel ignored her and carried her back to her room.
"Eat that food or you finish what you started." He dropped her on the bed and ordered, ignoring the blood oozing out of her wound.
Her foot was in a bad shape, but he expected her wolf to do its job. Since that wasn't happening, he began searching for the first aid box when he saw a shadowy figure around the window and growled,
"Who's there?"
He rushed out but saw no one. Thinking it was one of the warriors, he went back inside, but as he resumed searching for the first aid box, he suddenly stopped and asked,
"How is it that you haven't healed even a little bit?"
Valerie froze instantly. Afraid of letting him know that she lost her wolf, she picked up the bowl of noodles, which had now turned cold, and began to gobble it down.
"I'm hungry..." she said through mouthfuls. For the first time, Alpha Denzel was left speechless. He had never met a woman so proud, stubborn, and impish.
He couldn't also deny how funny she looked forcing the noodles down her throat. He wanted to tell her to slow down but thought against it.
However, he was worried that there was no sign of her healing. Before Alpha Denzel could utter another word, his phone rang, and he quickly answered it.
"Alpha, everything is ready at the Yellowstone pack."
Looking at Valerie, who was gobbling down the food like she hadn't eaten in years in spite of her injury, he felt like he wasn't needed and responded,
"Oh, I'm on my way."
He left without sparing her another glance. Valerie instantly dropped the fork, as she almost choked from stuffing her mouth with so much food at once to just avoid the question.
Adira arrived with a doctor who instantly began to attend to Valerie. He was the same doctor who had attended to her before, unknown to her.
Adira was disappointed to not see Denzel. "Where is the Alpha?"
"How would I know?" Valerie asked as she went back to eating the food as the doctor dressed her wound.
No matter how it hurt, she never let it show. By putting on a tough facade, no one would know that she lost her wolf.
Adira stepped out and dialed Alpha Denzel's number, but he didn't answer her call this time.
Alpha Denzel had shifted and began to rummage through the woods to the Yellowstone pack. The warriors were waiting for him.
At the Yellowstone pack, it was the wee hours of the morning, and warriors were retiring from patrol. Most attacks would usually happen at midnight, so any attack around this time was very rare.
As soon as Alpha Denzel arrived, he shifted to human form and received the clothes they prepared for him with the mask.
After changing into the all-black attire and fixing his mask, they began to attack in human form after he ordered,
"Make sure you get the people who beat her and that executioner."
Even without mentioning her name, they knew that he was referring to Valerie.
"Remember, no one must shift into wolf form or they will be exposed," Alpha Denzel warned seriously.
Among the mafias, it was easy, but attacking werewolves, the instruction was quite complicated.
If the person they were attacking had the chance to shift, then they would be defenseless in human form.
This meant they had to operate discreetly to not give their opponents the chance to shift. Alpha Denzel was just about to break into the pack when Godic asked from behind.
"Alpha, what about our scent?"
Alpha Denzel stopped and turned around. He almost forgot that vital part, glad to be surrounded by smart people.
"Where is the vodka?"
Three bottles of vodka were brought out of a bag Godic carried. Because Alpha Denzel loved strong drink and smoke, they never ran out of them.
Taking one of the bottles, he instructed, "Empty the content on yourselves and drink a little.
As they did, the scent of the vodka was the only thing they smelled. Whereas their unique scent could not be traced.
"I will take care of the people who beat Luna Valerie," one of the bodyguards brought out his phone, showing the video of when Luna Valerie was being beaten.
Alpha Denzel's jaws clenched, but he didn't utter a word. Godic said, "I will take care of the executioner and those who said foul things against her."
Then he stared at Alpha Denzel. "Alpha, Luna Scarlet would be with Alpha Tristan, so we shall leave her to you."
Alpha Denzel nodded his head in agreement. "The time starts now, you can kill or render unconscious anyone who gets in your way.
That said, they split and pulled the masks over their faces.
The five warriors at the gate were taken down by Alpha Denzel, making it easy for the other bodyguards. Most people were still asleep, completely oblivious to the four men operating discreetly.
Alpha Denzel was soon at the pack house, and those guarding Alpha Tristan's door were stabbed in the back as soon as a hand covered their mouth from behind.
They had no chance to fight back nor shift. Most pack houses were all the same in aesthetics, so it wasn't hard to locate Alpha Tristan's room.
Alpha Denzel brought out a thin metal, about to unlock the door before turning the knob and realizing the door was not even locked.
The room was dark, but there was light in the bathroom, giving a slight visibility. There was only one person on the large bed, and Alpha Denzel aimed for the figure.
Intermittently, the door to the washroom opened, and Scarlet stepped out in short pants pajamas. The opened door allowed the light from the washroom to illuminate the room partially.
Upon seeing a dark figure, she was about to scream when a force hit her hard, and she was flying in the air, hitting her back against the wall.
Everything turned dark, but Alpha Denzel knew she wasn't dead. As he aimed to finish what he started, Alpha Tristan, startled by the noise of someone slamming against the wall, quickly woke.
"Scarlet?" The room was dark as the washroom door automatically closed when the figure was thrown against the wall, but he quickly switched on the bedside lamp, the same time Alpha Denzel was about to stab Scarlet.
He quickly kicked the knife from his hand, but before he could mindlink any of the warriors, unrestrained punches from all angles disfigured his face.
The person was so fast that he found it hard to dodge or defend himself. It was also difficult to inform the pack members through mindlink that the pack was being attacked.
The punches were without restraint, Alpha Tristan could not shift, as the pain sank deeper before he was thrown against the wall.
Already bleeding from the nose, his eyes were blurry due to the multiple punches on them. Her limbs were now attacked, as he kept groaning in pain.
"Who are you?" he murmured but got another punch in response.
Alpha Denzel was running out of time, so he picked up the dagger, ready to stab him in the heart when a mindlink cut through his actions.
'Alpha, we have 60 seconds to leave the pack. The warriors have got a hint of the attack and are already headed to the western gate.'
