The Rumoured Girl

~ Daemon’s POV ~ “It was not me. I didn’t do anything. Why are you doing this to me? Why? Who are you and what do you want from someone like me?” The bastard pleaded for his life while he held my feet. I could sense the despair in his voice and the way his body was trembling in fear. He is asking such a stupid question that I seriously wanted to laugh at his face, but I need to hold on for now. What’s so good about having a long life, huh? My eyes were closed and I moved the chair a little further from him as I wanted to have a closer look at his face. The same face that once betrayed me. I could withstand anything, but betrayal. He probably wouldn’t even remember my name and the sins that he has committed in his life. I sighed when he asked me to let go of his son. “Take... take daughter, please! Not my son. He is the sole heir and the last hope of my family.” He suggested I take his daughter as my mistress if I didn’t want to take her as my mate. I ran my fingers through my hair when I opened my eyes and looked at the expression of the pathetic man who dared to sell his daughter to me in the name of allegiance. “You dared to throw your daughter at our Alpha when your whole family’s life is at his disposal, huh? Well, what could I accept from a bastard like you?” Adrian, my Beta kicked him hard while the bastard covered his body. He must be trying to protect himself from getting severely injured. I was aware that he was shameless, but seeing him like this... what was I thinking back then when he gently smiled at me? I was a fool once, but things are different now... I am different now. His whole family was captured by my pack members. They are the ones who decided to put their lives at stake for my sake. They are people who won’t think twice before sacrificing their lives for me. “Family? What a foreign feeling just to hear such a simple word. You can’t sacrifice your son, but you could easily throw your daughter at some random man. They say that I am a savage person, but what would those same people call you, Beta Evan? Oops! I meant, ex-Beta Evan Johnson.” I stood up from the wooden chair and I walked towards the terrified man. The clouds rumbled and when I looked out the window there were thunderstorms. I looked at the sky and a smirk appeared on my face when I remembered that night. “How... how did you know my name? I got a new identity after that day... so how?” The man who once looked confidently at me, strangely the same man, is now stuttering in front of me. How nostalgic. “You think you are in the position to question me, Evan? Your life is at my mercy and so is your family’s, so shut up while I am still in my right senses. Bring that woman inside.” I told Adrian while I rolled up my sleeves. I seriously want to put an end to this, but I want to send that f*****g bastard a memorable gift that he won’t be able to forget in this life of his. The moment the woman entered the room, the colour of Evan’s son’s face turned pale and his eyes became widened when he saw her, “What are you doing here, Maria?” I didn’t want to get involved in all of this, but I do have an ulterior motive for helping this woman. “So, do you remember my name, Jose? You must be feeling accomplished after winning the bet that you made with your friends, right? The stupid girl fell for someone like you and ended up getting knocked up. I didn’t blame you, but I blamed myself and my stupidity for falling in love with someone like you, so why did you take my last ray of hope from me? Why did you kill my child? I thought your sister might help me, but instead of understanding my pain, she helped you by poisoning me. I lost my child because of you. I was about to take my own life, but maybe the goddess took pity on me and I met Alpha Daemon.” The woman had tears in her eyes when she looked at the man who whispered lies in her ears and she blindly trusted those beautiful lies and fake promises. I don’t know if there is someone like a goddess, but this poor woman had no idea that I am just using her. I might be a great person in her eyes and that thought of hats is seriously quite funny. I am surprised that Evan is still not able to recognize me even after hearing my name. Well, I guess Daemon might be quite a common name here. “No... no... I didn’t do such a thing. Why are you lying, Maria? How could you forget that I was your sole friend when everyone isolated you in the academy? If not for me, then you might die at that place, b***h! Let me go! Did you forget me, Alpha Daemon? I met you at the party. I was with Cecilia Dawson... the daughter of Alpha Paxton. I am one of her closest friends.” The girl screamed at the top of her lungs while she tried to push away the people who were holding her. “So? What exactly did that have to do with me? Umm, who was Cecilia Dawson again? I don’t even remember her face. It must be someone unworthy of my attention that I don’t even remember her face. You took the life of an innocent child and yet there is no sign of regret on your face.” I glared at the girl and before she could again say anything else, Maria stabbed the annoying girl. Her hands were trembling as they were covered in blood, but after she stabbed the girl for the first time, she again stabbed her with eyes filled with tears, but soon that painful expression disappeared and a smile appeared on her distorted face. The lifeless body of the girl fell on the cold floor and when Maria looked at the silver knife, she looked quite satisfied. The guy named Jose was next on her list, but before she could stab him, he dared to show his canines. He tried to shape-shift into his wolf form, but I put my foot forward while I looked straight into his eyes with a smirk on my face. “What... why am I not able to transform? What the heck is this heavy aura that is surrounding me?” He gasped for air when he said those words. “TSK, SUCH A USELESS HEIR, EVAN.” I used my Alpha’s tone while I grabbed Jose by his jaw. I grabbed the bastard by the back of his neck. He tried to get out of my grasp, but he was so weak that he was not even able to push me away with his little strength. I continuously banged his head against the wall with all my might and that was enough to make the bastard whimper in pain. Blood was oozing out of his forehead and even the wall was covered with the same blood. “No! My son! I don’t know who you are, but you don’t know some quite powerful people are supporting me from behind.” Evan finally dared to stand up, but he was still looking down at the floor with a scared expression on his face. I looked at the person whose face was covered with a cloak. I don’t know why he doesn’t like when people look at his face, so he usually feels comfortable when he hides his face. He snapped his finger and suddenly my eyes turned back to their original colour. “You... you... grey eyes... you are still alive... how? No, it’s impossible. You are Daemon Alastair.” So, he does remember me. I banged the forehead of his son one last time and after that, I threw Jose’s half-unconscious body towards Maria. It’s up to her now what she wants to do with him. I hope she doesn’t give up her resolve to get rid of him because of something like love. Love is nothing, but a terrifying thing that people have created. People in love do crazy things for their partners just so they can satisfy each others greed. “You don’t know how happy I am that you finally remember me, Evan. Your daughter already left this world and even your son is begging for his life, but looking at that woman’s expression, I could tell that she has some different plans for that so-called heir of yours.” I grabbed the bastard by his throat and I forced him to look at the corpses of his family. Maria continuously stabbed Jose and her eyes were empty. There were no emotions in those blue eyes. She is finally freed from something like love. Now, she wouldn’t be disappointed with anyone and there might be no one who would have the ability to hurt her. It’s a good thing that she got rid of such disgusting feelings. Jose took his last breath in Maria’s lap and she finally laughed when she saw the body of the man who betrayed her and made fun of her. “You should have died. How did you survive? How!” Before he could ask me anything else, I shifted my hand into my claws and after that, I extracted his heart from his chest cavity. I threw his body on the floor and after placing my foot on his lifeless body, I put his and his family’s bodies on fire. My other people took Maria out of the building. “Don’t forget to send the heart as a gift to that person.” I smiled when I looked at Adrian. He gave me the invitation card which he was tightly holding. “Are you seriously going to this party, Daemon? Why did you lie to that girl? You clearly remember Cecilia Dawson, don’t you? She even gave you the invitation card for her coming-of-age ceremony at that party. Don’t you think it’s too early to go to that place?” Adrian is someone who worries about me, but sometimes he worries a little too much. What would have happened if I hadn't helped him at that time? He would have either been killed by the rogues or he would have caused quite a big commotion between the other clans. “Are you planning to take that woman as your mate and the Luna of the Dark Moon pack?” He was worrying that I might have taken an interest in someone like Cecilia. ‘I don’t think that she is our mate, so why are you wasting your time on her, huh? You do know that only our mate can put an end to our pain and suffering, right? The bloodlust that you feel after remembering that day... only our mate has the power to stop that feeling.’ Ian, my wolf asserted to me inside my head. I snatched the invitation card from his hands and, after that, I wiped my face and hands that were covered with Evan’s blood. I crumbled the card and after that, I threw the card on the ground. I don’t need anything like an invitation card to visit that damn place. That woman would jump for joy if she saw me at her party, so what’s the point of this useless invitation card? They also gave me another invitation card as I am the Alpha of the Dark Moon pack. The twin's birthday... it’s going to be quite a fun day. ‘I don’t care if she is my mate or not, but I am ready to use anything and anyone to fulfil my desire. I don’t care if that stupid woman is my mate or not... if she is useful, then I don’t care about anything else.’ I told my wolf to shut up, as all he cares about is the mate that the moon goddess has chosen for us. Ian was quite furious at me after hearing my words. We are already out of the hideout of Evan. There were corpses all over the place, so I asked my people to clean up as I didn’t want anyone to find out what exactly happened there. “Have you heard about the worthless beauty of the Mystic Shadow Pack? Jeez! I heard that she is a beauty, but there were also some other rumours about her.” One of my people was busy talking with others while they were clearing up the dead bodies. Worthless beauty? What are they talking about? I didn’t get any reports about that person. The clouds were still rumbling and when I sat inside the car, Adrian sat beside me. “I know what you are curious about, but there was nothing special about that girl. All those things were nothing, but rumours. You should not lose your focus. It was just the beginning. Many are waiting for the same outcome.” My Beta is trying to convince me that the rumoured girl is nothing special, but for some reason, I am not able to take this worthless beauty out of my head. Well, I would meet her at the party, so I would surely find out if the rumpus about this girl is true or not. “Have you prepared the gift for Cecilia, Adrian?” I gazed at him and he simply nodded his head. It’s weird, but instead of meeting the daughter of Alpha Paxton, I am looking forward to meeting the rumoured girl. I wanted to know why that girl is called a worthless beauty. Who knows that maybe the Mystic Shadow Pack is trying to hide the identity of that girl, but what could be the reason behind doing such a tiring thing? I need to unravel the truth and for that, I need to go to that damn party. Let’s see how that man is going to welcome me.
