Chosen By An Alpha
Chapter 37

No One’s POV

“What are you thinking?”, He asked when he saw and felt a pinch of sadness on Grace’s face.

“N.Nothing!”, Grace replied and thought to give an appropriate reply instead of lying completely to him. “I was just wondering how I should thank you.” Zayden smirked at this.

“Perhaps, a k**s would do.”, He said. She looked at him in shock and surprise.

‘Is he serious?’

Grace lowered her head shyly. She hated herself for being so evident.

‘Why do I feel like this in front of him? I shouldn’t like this….I shouldn’t like his touch.’ But she did and she despised herself for that.

He cupped her face and raised her head so that he could look at her innocent green eyes. She wasn’t so brave to look at him. Her heartbeats raced and a very different feeling engulfed her. Why was she feeling like this?

Zayden couldn’t stop looking at her lips. They were so tempting to him. He knew what was going to happen next but he could still try, right? After all, sometimes it becomes difficult to control our emotions. He leaned closer to her face. He advanced slowly and when he was close enough, Grace felt his not-so-friendly member and pushed his chest lightly.

“C.c.clothes”, She stuttered shyly. A scowl came upon his face. He desperately wanted to k**s her, and it seemed such a perfect opportunity, but yet she had to ruin it.

‘How long are you going to stop me, sweetheart! I am going to feel you soon!’ He consoled himself. After a moment, she heard the rustle of fabric.

After reaching home, One of Zayden’s men reached near him to take the keys to his car.

“Alpha, should I park your car in the garage or let it stay outside?”, He asked.

‘Garage.’, He replied through mindlink, keeping his answer short.

“Okay, Alpha.”, He said to which Zayden nodded, not willing to speak again.

‘Just how exactly does he speak with others?’, She wondered. For most of the time, he just nods or shakes his head.

“I will go and prepare the food.”, Grace said, before leaving from there but then she remembered that she didn’t thank Zayden for everything he did for her. She stopped and turned toward him to look at him. “And thank you, Zaydem.”, She added to express her gratitude.

“Never say that again, sweetheart! You don’t have to thank me for anything.”, He said to which Grace nodded not knowing what to say. “By the way, I am joining you in the kitchen to learn cooking.”, He added so that he could spend a little more time with Grace.

***

“Alpha.”, Eric called Zayden and appeared a little far away from the kitchen. He had to call Zayden instead of using mindlink because Zayden had turned it off so that he could spend some time with Grace without getting disturbed but it seems like the writer had some other plan. He gave Zayden a serious look, which meant something was wrong. Zayden understood the urgency.

“Sweetheart! I am sorry but I will have to leave for a while. I will come soon. Something important has come.”, He said politely to which Grace nodded.

“I am sorry, Luna. I am taking your mate’s precious time but this is really important.”, Eric explained.

“It’s okay.”, She said with a small smile.

The moment Zayden left the kitchen, the smile he had on his face when he was with Grace wiped and his expression was back to cold and cruel.

‘What is it?’, He asked through mindlink.

‘Alpha, Wyatt knows about your marriage, especially Grace.’, Eric replied.

‘I know. Tell me something new.’, Zayden said. Of course, Wyatt would know.

‘But it wasn’t his source who gave him this news. It was our man who transferred this news to his men.’, Eric said. Zayden stopped in his track. His man! One thing he never tolerated in his business and life was a betrayal. It was an unforgivable crime according to his rules.

‘Make sure that your Luna doesn’t come out.’, Zayden ordered one of his guards, when he walked out of the house.

‘Okay, Alpha.’

“Where is he?, Zayden asked, venom evident in his voice.

“I brought him with me.”, Eric replied quickly, not wanting to face his Alpha’s rage. He very well knew how much Zayden hated people who betray and lie.

“Bring him here.”, He ordered.

Eric quickly nodded and went out of the main gate. He instructed the guards to bring the culprit, whose hands were tied with a silver chain and a silver collar was tied in his neck. Meanwhile, Zayden glanced toward the villa to make sure Grace wasn’t watching him. He knew, he was going to kill that person and he didn’t want to do that in front of her to scare her. When he was sure that she wasn’t watching from anywhere, he relaxed and looked forward to seeing the brave werewolf who betrayed him.

But he didn’t know that Grace was watching him anyway. She had found the server room in the villa from where she could see all the footage of the CCTV which was installed in the villa. Thankfully, neither it was locked nor was it guarded by anyone. She quickly went into that room and kept looking at the CCTV footage. She knew Zayden was up to something. But what? She couldn’t decipher.

She saw him looking at the villa suspiciously and she started feeling scared, scared with the thought of being caught. What if he came to know what he was doing?

But when he looked away, she sighed in relief.

She felt as if, he was waiting for something or perhaps, someone. The entrance was well lighted such that she was able to see everything clearly.

Suddenly, she saw Eric coming inside the villa. Two guards followed him and the acne took her breath away. The guards were dragging a man with them. And from what she could see, the man looked horribly beaten. He wasn’t even in a state to walk properly. Her eyes widened when she saw the face of the man.

He was none other but Jame’s father. Zayden looked at him in disgust. He recognized him as one of his guards. When the other guards left him on his own feet, he instantly fell on Zayden’s feet begging with his hand-tied. Grace gasped at his vulnerability but Zayden seemed unaffected by it. His heart was stone and these petty begging didn’t affect him. Only one person had the power to affect him and she was inside the villa, in the kitchen, preparing dinner for both of them.

Eric said something to Zayden and Grace of course, but couldn’t hear anything.

“Alpha, we beat the crap out of him but he still didn’t speak a word.”, Eric informed on which Zayden nodded seriously.

“Alpha, I am sorry. Please forgive me. I was threatened. You knew that I had already lost my son and this time the target was my wife. He…he said that he will kill my love, if I will not tell about you.”, The betrayer spoke.

Zayden exactly knew who this HE was. Yet, he wanted to hear his name from his mouth.

“Who is HE?”, Zayden asked. His voice came painfully deep which gave shivers to all the three witnesses. The betrayer didn’t speak. It irritated Zayden. He hated when people didn’t speak. “Eric…”, He lifted his hand in front of Eric. Quickly mindlink one of the guards and he came after a minute, holding hot liquid silver in an iron bowl. While Eric removed his gun from his waist pocket and handed it to his alpha.

Eric knew Zayden a lot better than others and he had the habit of understanding his words even though Zayden rarely speaks in sentences. It shocked Eric that Zayden wasn’t carrying his modified gun today. He tried to understand what could be the reason behind this?

And then he realized that Zayden was with his wife a moment before and Most of them knew that Grace was a peace-loving woman.

Grace gasped at the view of the gun.

‘He is not going to kill him, is he?’, She thought, feeling pity over Jame’s father.

“Now…I hate to repeat myself.”, Zayden said.

“Please…forgive me, Alpha. He will kill me if I tell his name.”, The betrayer spoke.

“Either way, you are going to die. So, open your f*****g mouth.”, Zayden roared. He still didn’t open his mouth. The other two guards thought how stupid this man was to disobey Zayden again.

“WHO.IS.HE?”, Zayden asked for one more last time. No reply. He signaled the guard who was holding the liquid silver, knowing what his alpha asked him to do. He started walking toward the betrayer.

“I have my blind mate to take care of, Alpha. Please don’t kill me.”

“I don’t give a f**k to your mate. You should have thought about the consequences before you went against me.”

“I am sorry, Alpha. Please give me one chance.”

Zayden chuckled at this. “And why should I do that?”, He asked, raising his brow.

“I…I…”, He stammered not knowing what to say.

“I don’t give another chance. I hate lies and liars and the same goes with betrayals and betrayers. Everyone should know that.”, He declared.

“But…but you gave Grace so many chances even after she lied for so many things.”, He had the audacity to bring his sweetheart in this matter. Zayden took the iron bowl from the hand of his guard and forced him to drink in one go. The betrayal started shouting and crying in pain. Zayden would have let him die in that way but he was afraid what if Grace heard his voice?

So instead of giving him a horrible death, he lifted his gun and pulled the trigger. With almost no noise, the betrayer fell on the pavement. The gun had a silencer of course.

Eric gasped in shock. Even though he knew this was coming, but not this soon. Zayden was famous for torturing his prey. Surely, this man was lucky to die with one bullet, rather than dying from Zayden’s claws.”

“Alpha, now how will we know who is behind this?”, Eric asked.

“Are you bind, Eric? Don’t you know who this is?”, Zayden scolded him. Eric lowered his gaze. Zayden had so many enemies, who could it be? He wondered.

“Sorry, Alpha. But I can’t point at one person.”, Eric confessed.

“Wyatt.”, Zayden declared.

“Your brother?”, Eric asked in disbelief.

“Half.”, Zayden corrected. “Only he would be interested in my personal life.”, He added. For a few seconds, he kept quiet, until he decided to give orders. He turned towards the guards. “Clean this mess. I don’t want a trace of b***d here. If Grace figures out anything then remember I will eat you all one by one.”, He roared and then faced Eric again.

“Get more guards to patrol this area. Wyatt will surely try to contact Grace. And I don’t want Grace to replace anything about him. Do you get this clear?”, He asked.

“Crystal clear.”

“And bring Allison here as soon as possible.”, Zayden told Eric.

“Okay, Alpha.”

***

After a while, Eric sighed in relief when Zayden left. He then turned toward the guards. “Spread this news that no one….NO ONE should speak Luna’s name in front of Alpha or else he will not hesitate to tear us apart. Got it?”, Eric said and the guards nodded.

‘Why Alpha is so obsessed with Grace? She is not even his real mate!’, Eric thought.

***

As soon as Zayden entered the house, he was greeted by Grace who smelt scared.

‘How can he be so cruel! How can he not hesitate before killing anyone. Oh my god! My husband is really a criminal…will he ever change?’, She thought while trying to focus on cooking the food.

Zayden eyed her suspiciously. Various thoughts swarmed in his head.

‘Did she see everything? Did he hear everything? But that’s not possible because I didn’t smell her presence near me at that time. But if she had seen me then…what is she thinking about me? Oh no! I can’t bear her hatred toward me!’, He thought.
