Chained To The Alpha King
Chapter 46

Even though I tried to stop myself from being hurt, my heart still ached shamelessly at the possibilities that could happen to Damon. I woke up early the next day to visit Damon, but the doctor told me that Damon also left early with Stone to continue the search for Jules. I couldn't help but be annoyed and sullen with Damon. Doesn't he even care about his health? He's still injured because of what happened yesterday but then he doesn't have a second thought to rush in today? I know he's strong, he's great and powerful but even the powerful and strong creatures have their weakness. And I can't just stand and watch him being desperate for replaceing Jules.

I know he has been hoping for a long time to get revenge on whoever killed his brother, but what if the prize of this all is his life instead? Isn't he afraid? I remember what we talked about yesterday. I asked him to promise me that he will prioritize his life over everything, but he cannot promise me.

That's why I realized revenge is more important to him than thinking about his life. And it hurts me every time I think that he's ready to leave without thinking about my existence and feelings.

I took a deep breath and just locked myself in the room. I didn't feel like visiting the library, so I just ordered Anna to rest and leave me alone in my room. I took out the book I had hidden behind Damon and I's wedding portrait and looked at it again. The small letters written on the book cover remained a puzzle to me.

Flip the pages, look down at the numbers, replace my secrets...

I stared at the book and tried to flip the pages. When I opened to page 18, I stared at the letters there. Written on that page was the time when Alpha Devon was still learning about his duties when he became the Alpha king. Look down at the numbers...

There are no numbers written on it other than the page number-

I froze at the thought. Page number? What if...

I quickly flipped through all the pages, and I was right, there are no numbers written apart from the page number written at the bottom of the book! Isn't this what the book cover is referring to? Look down at the numbers, replace my secrets... Then, I remember the code. DTS8910. What if...the number on the code is pertaining to the book's page number? It's possible, right?

So, the code has four numbers. 8,9,1, and 0. But...there is no 0 on the page numbers! I opened the book to page 8. I looked at that page and just like the other pages, there seemed to be nothing strange written there. I stared intently at the page and read some sentences on it.

The first sentence was, 'The Alpha king, my father gave me a command to travel around the neighboring kingdoms. I know that it's for the betterment of our treaty between kingdoms. We need to ensure that the kingdoms have no means of starting a war against us. I first visited the kingdom of San Isidro. San Isidro is a small island surrounded by rainforests. The kingdom has an abundant supply of food. And there I met the Alpha of San Isidro's pack. Alpha Alqamar and his wife Luna Lexis. They are a good couple who dearly love their pack. Unlike in my kingdom, that pack wholeheartedly and easily accepted Luna Lexis as their queen even though she's a human.

I stopped reading. It means that my case is no longer unique. It's inevitable for a wolf to be mated with humans. But I read in some textbooks in the library that only selected wolves have mated with humans. This means that only selected wolves are mated with humans.

If so this kingdom, the kingdom of Agama, it is not so open to a set-up like this. Fortunately, I didn't feel much discrimination against humans like me.

'The next kingdom I visited was the kingdom of Urzua. Unlike the kingdom of San Isidro, this kingdom has hot and dry weather. But what fascinates it is its vast land. There are few trees but there is plenty of prey to eat. I also met their Alpha, like me, the Alpha hasn't met his Luna yet. And that is one of the problems he is having because his councils and elders are forcing him replace a mate. But I know it was hard. The moon goddess has a unique style of replaceing our mate. Especially to us who have a bloodline of Alpha Kings. I asked the Alpha if he wants to be like Alpha Alqamar whose queen is a human. The Alpha king of Urzua doesn't like humans, for him, humans are weak creatures, especially when it comes to handling their emotions. Another thing he doesn't like about humans is the high possibility of their emotions changing. Because we...werewolves aren't capable of loving someone else...once we meet our mates!

Werewolves aren't capable of loving someone else once they meet their mates. Is this the werewolf's fate? I bit my lower lip. So, they have a law for people like me who are mated with a wolf that once our mate dies, we can't leave the kingdom and love someone else? Once you broke that rule, the penalty is death.

That was the punishment imposed on my mother, but it didn't go through because Damon felt my life inside my mother's womb. The elders conclude that I was Damon's mate. But my mother sneaked out and kept on hiding all over the years. But Damon found us. Damon gave him an ultimatum that once I turned eighteen Damon will get me from my mother. But my mother kept breaking the promise that's why Damon kidnapped me.

Good thing Damon was still kind enough to not kill my mother. I sighed.

I looked back at the book and saw that I was almost done on page 8.

'I was on my journey towards the kingdom of North Snow when I encountered three wolves. They are in their human form and in the middle of them is a tiny little kid, a little pup, crying helplessly. It was a cold day, and the snow was pouring harshly. The Kingdom of North Snow has an undeniable cold temperature. The whole place is covered in snow, but even so, this place is still one of the strongest kingdoms because I heard that a great Alpha king rules here. He is also the youngest age to become Alpha king in the history of werewolves. I went back my eyes to the little pup. The three wolves are planning to sell the girl as slaves in the kingdom of North Snow. Out of pity, I was the one who bought the girl. The girl was so grateful that she promised me that she will be a loyal subject to me. I asked her name, Neticia, and she answered.'

I blinked twice as I finally finished reading page 8. Page 8...is about how Alpha Devon first met...Neticia. Does that mean...Neticia is older than Damon?!

I flipped the page and turned to page 9. I swallowed before I started reading.

'I finished my journey with Neticia. She was a bubbly and happy-go-lucky girl. She will surely bring happiness to the palace once I bring her to my kingdom. I'm still not sure if my father will approve of this but I'm sure Jules will like her. Jules wanted a playmate. Jules is my cousin and was an orphan. He lost his parents when he was young. We've become friends and treated each other like siblings. But when my father decided to practice me as the future Alpha king of our kingdom, I didn't have time to play with Jules or to accompany him with his studies. That's why Neticia will be a great help. When I returned to the kingdom, my mother welcomed me with a warm smile. Neticia was scared but she easily adapts to her surroundings, and she immediately earns my mother's interest. I can't help but be jealous of Neticia. Alpha's parents Devon and Damon met and liked her. Just like her good looks, her attitude is also attractive to others.

'My father, the Alpha king, immediately liked her too. Unfortunately, she had a bad first impression of Jules. Jules was originally a prankster and silly and Neticia became a victim of it. I thought they would get along, but it turns out Neticia immediately hated Jules. Jules on the other hand was also pissed. But I just convinced myself that they will like each other sooner. I'm hoping for that day to come. And then...the day came when my mother announced that she was pregnant. We all celebrated and became excited. I was happy too. I've been longing to have a sibling. That same day, my mother, the queen went to me and asked for my suggestion about the name of my sibling. My mother has a huge feeling that my sibling will be a baby brother. Nonchalantly, a name came up to me. I want my sibling to have the same initials as me. DTS. I am Devon Tristan Scot, so I want my brother to be Damon Timothy Scot.'

My eyes widened at what I read. It means...I correctly suspected that the numbers written on the page were the code! DTS was mentioned on this page! This...is...unbelievable!

I finished pages 8 and 9. Now, what's next? I feel like something is still missing. I tried to read page 1 because the code says, 1 and 0 but page 1 was just all about describing the purpose of the book and there is no page 0! Wait...can't the code actually refer to page 10? 8,9 and 10?

I flipped the page to 10 and started reading it. 'Week after I heard the news that Neticia and Jules were fighting. I immediately headed towards them and learned that they were fighting over the room. Jules wants to have Neticia's room because it was near the library. Neticia, on the other hand, does not want to lose. I thought they might get along soon but I think I was wrong. Jules is kind and understanding. I don't know why there's always fire when they are near each other. I don't want my little brother to come and be welcomed by Jules and Neticia's fighting. I want everything to be perfect once my baby brother comes out. I have to settle this once and for all. So, I decided on the solution of changing Neticia's room. Her new room is now located near my little brother's room. My little brother's room was still under renovation, but I know it will be good for Neticia. I helped Neticia to clean her new room and while arranging her things I noticed something. It was a pen holder. But I couldn't be mistaken because it was Jules' own creation of a pen holder. It was one of Jules' hobbies. He likes to make things like this. I asked Neticia if Jules gave it to her, but she just answered me with a blush. At that moment, I knew something was going on with Jules and Neticia. Because Jules never gave someone his creation. He was too selfish to give someone his pen holder. And giving Neticia his pen holder...is different and unexpected.

I was just stunned by what I read. Anna said that Neticia loved Alpha Devon but why do I see something different in Alpha Devon's story? And...Jules...gave his own creation, the pen holder to Neticia. Could it be that these days based on the book they are fighting but they already have feelings for each other?

But...Neticia's love was Alpha Devon...what's happening? I'm confused!

But wait...I need to concentrate on these three pages. These pages are about Neticia and Jules. The pen holder and the new room. I closed my eyes tightly. Neticia's room...I once entered that room...and yes...it was near Damon's room...our room. And then...when I entered that room...I saw her portrait, her beautiful portrait...and then...something fell from the floor...it was a...

Pen holder!

I opened my eyes when everything was realized. No way...no way... is there a possibility that the answer in the code was the pen holder in Neticia's room? Then...the code was pertaining to Neticia's room...and the pen holder damn it!
