Chapter 128
I burst through the dungeon door, my vampire speed and strength
shoving me forward. Winston, in his wolf form, followed closely, his
sharp claws glowing in the dim light.
As we entered the damp corridor, guards sprang from the shadows,
swords drawn. I snarled, fangs bared, and launched myself at
guard flying into the stone
nearest attacker. My strength sent the
wall.
Winston, meanwhile, released his fierceness. He tore through the
guards, claws ripping armor and flesh. He pounced, pinning a guard
to the ground.
As we cleared all the men in the corridor, we approached the cells in
the dungeon. Freda’s mother’s voice echoed through the bars,
“Winston!”
“Patricia” The Alpha called back, rushing to meet her. While he found
a way to release her, I looked around for Freda, she was nowhere to be
found in the dungeon.
“He took her,” her mother’s pale voice said when she caught me
searching. “You’re Damien.” She said and I nodded.

“Where did he take her?”
“Somewhere..more private…or where her voice can’t be heard if he
killed her” All I heard was pain from her mother.
We sped out of the dungeon, Winston handing over Patricia to some
of his trusted guards, as we went back in to look for Freda.

Just as we reached the dark cellar, a figure stood in the shado
was Williams and then I got a sight of Freda in front of him. I
proceeded to burst into the cellar but Winstons stopped me, signaling
me to wait a little.
Quietly and strategically, our men surrounded the whole building,
taking down Williams’s men, one by one.
“I still see no reason why I am your target, Uncle Williams. What
would killing me do to you?” Freda asked, her voice more confident
than I expected.
“Ilk tell you.” My uncle walked around her. “You’re Damien’s last hope
to the throne. With you still alive, he would be after the crown of
Valthur if you can be queen and he can be king. I cannot let that
happen” he dragged Freda by the hair and she screamed. I folded my
fist, ready to unleash my anger if he hurt Freda once more.

William continued. “The Crown of Valthur is mine and I have wiped
off everyone on my way to becoming king. With you out of the way
also, Damien would be useless.”
He was right. If my mate Freda died, I had no interest in anything like
the throne, I would leave the kingdom, become a mess, and lose my
purpose. She was all that mattered.
“Damien is destined to be king and nothing you do could stor
“Oh, don’t pretend like you love Damien now. Didn’t you plan to
escape from him because you feared him and didn’t trust that he
would give you your freedom?”
My heart sank. That couldn’t be true. Freda left because…of me? She
didn’t feel free with me? All those moments we shared, were for
what?
“I only made things easier for you by asking Verestina to kidnap you.
You were already on your way to the human world with your best
friend and with the support of your father.”
I turned over to Winston, my eyes burning red. He knew about it. Yet
he pretended like he didn’t, he threatened that I find his daughter
meanwhile all he had wanted was for her to stay away from me as far
as possible.

I looked over to Freda who could not defend herself in front of
William. How could she hurt me like that? Leaving on the coronation
day. All I wanted was to be with her and she didn’t want the same
with me.
“As Damien’s uncle, there are a lot of things to be ashamed of. You
pretended that it was just him you cared about, but now…it was only
the throne.”
“Because I deserved it!” He yelled. “Since I was little, I deserved the
throne. Draken took it from me and now he wants to pass it to his
generation.”
“If you’re this hungry for power, you cannot rule William”
“Shut up, you scunt!” He hit her face and I felt myself levitate from
the ground with Winston pushing me back angrily and telling me it
was not time.
I scowled at Freda’s father.
How could he watch his daughter get hurt so much without doing
something about it? I wouldn’t let William hurt Freda again.
“I am Damien’s nightmare and I am yours too. I can have whatever I
want, including your father’s wife.”

Winston this time was the one that sprouted out his claws and
squinted his eyes. What did William mean by having his wife? Has
William done something to Freda’s mother while we were away?
“Amelia was sweet in bed. She found attest to her little vacation with
me at the palace under Winston’s nose.”
Freda growled something that felt wolf–like. Winston did the same
and I covered his mouth so he wouldn’t blow our cover. Willi had
been sleeping with his wife, it wasn’t a revelation to be toyed about.
Now he knew how I felt about Freda too.
“No one is coming to save you, Freda. Ah, Damien. How predictable.
He’d risk everything for his precious mate. But if he ended up finding
this location, just be perfect. He’s going to go down with you and this
story is gonna end.”
Freda’s face fell. “Aw.” William clicked his tongue in pity. “You do not
think your mayevwoukd cone to save you right? After what you did.
Why should he protect someone who despises him so much, who
doesn’t want to be in the same castle as his.”
My eyes blazed as I walked away from the entrance where was
listening to their conversation. I could not hold the pain and my
chest hurt. Back outside I saw my guards disarmed William’s guards
and sent them crashing. Winston’s pack instincts kicked in, and they
attacked too, taking down guards with their skills.

My guard caught sight of me and nodded that all of Williams‘ men had been cleared. With this information, William would be easy to
take down.
My face twisted in rage. “You’ll never leave this place alive William
Going back to join Winston, he signaled that it was showtime!
