CHAPTER 15

I walked out while Felix followed behind me.

"What will you command me, Alpha?" he asked as we walked the long way out to the large cell where I could hear every whimper and plea of ​​those I imprisoned here.

"Put the soldiers guarding the Mansion at the left gate and send the guards at the left gate right here inside. I need to talk to them." I ordered.

I stopped in the middle of that dark hallway and Felix continued walking. Until I heard the door open and close.

My fists clenched at the thought of my soldiers doing what I forbid within my territory. They don't deserve to be rewarded, they don't deserve to be my soldiers.

Nina's screams and pleas echoed throughout the cell, making noise for everyone. Her screams are filling my ears, she was begging for me to come back and forgive her. If she wants to, why didn't she think about it first before doing it?

Why is she still showing mercy where she has already committed a sin?

Why would she shout now for forgiveness when she could have stopped what she was doing in the beginning?

Why didn't she think it first before doing it?

Is it because she was in the middle of the pleasure of committing sin that she did not think of repentance?

Is it really because of the fun?

Is it because... they are happy to commit a sin behind my back?

They're doing it because it makes them happy and not thinking about my feelings as their Alpha?

"Are you starting to regret your decisions young Alpha Romero?" Again I heard the voice of the man I was talking to earlier.

I turned to where he was and I saw that he was still there in his place, sitting on the edge of his small bed, his eyes were still looking at me, but the emotion that I see there was different.

I walked until I stopped in front of his cell, just like it happened earlier. I stared at him, no words came from me when he spoke again.

"I know the day will come when you will regret your decisions, just like your father."

"What do you have to do with my father? Are you his friend or… an enemy?" I finally managed to find words to throw at him.

But despite that, he smiled at me, causing me to develop curiosity from the expected answer to my own question.

"Friends... or enemies?" he repeated my question.

After he said that, he stared at his hands that were tied with a chain. I patiently waited for his answer. What does he have to do with my father? Is he his friend or enemy so he is here in the cell?

Why can't I remember him? Father didn't tell me anything about the man he imprisoned under the Mansion before he died, before he handed me over the position as an Alpha in this territory.

"It's been so long, I don't know if I can tell you everything that happened before I came to this place." he answered.

"I don't need a lot of information from you, all I need to know is what is your relationship with my Father. Are you an enemy or a friend? And what is the reason why you are here?" I asked him a long question.

I saw how he sighed and closed his eyes.

"I am one of your father's friends. The only one he trusted. But I betrayed him so he sealed me and chained me here forever."

"You betrayed my father. That was one of the right decisions he made." I stared at him intently. But I didn't expect what he said next.

"Yes, I betrayed him just to protect your father to his other friends." I saw the sadness in his eyes. "He thinks I betrayed him, but I did those things just to protect his throne. A lot of werewolf and his other friends want to take him down. Your father has no idea of ​​their plan to knock him down so that they can get the throne as Alpha, in those days your father had not yet met your mother, Alpha. I wanted the people who wanted to overthrow your father to repent, so I made a plan without his knowledge. That was to take over the it is the responsibility of a werewolf rebel to kill him."

I just stared at him, no other words came out of my mouth. I still want to hear his explanation of why that happened to him and his relationship with my father.

Because I had no idea that he had a friend that he locked under. I didn't know him, I didn't... remember it.

"He thought I was a rebel werewolf which is why he was so angry with me. He almost pushed me away, he dragged me to this cell and he punished me almost every day, because I was one of his confidants, but committed a sin against him that I didn't commit. That's the reason for everything, Alpha Alec. I'm old and all in this cell that was my home, I wasn't even able to visit his grave when he passed away.

"But I prayed that one day, when he finds out the truth, he will forgive me. And if I have a chance to explain, I will tell him the truth, maybe... in my next life that can be done because I am old, some in just a year I know I will leave this world."

"He will. He will forgive you." I don't know why those words came out to me.

Because I found out the reason why he was here.

"Why didn't you explain when you had the chance? Why didn't you tell the truth? Why didn't you defend yourself?"

"Alpha, I tried to do that, I tried as much as I could but he had no reason to listen to what I wanted to say, especially my explanation. After he placed me here, he didn't look back at me, he didn't talk to me again, he didn't visit me again. All I did is to wish that he was happy outside, met the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. I didn't make a mistake and now, it's you the result of their love. Alpha, now, I want to apologize----"

"You don't have to apologize to me." I refrain him from talking. "You didn't betray my father, as you said, you just help him, but it turns out to be bad and wrong for him."

At that time he smiled at me and a tear escaped from his eyes. I want to forgive him, he didn't do anything wrong. And I don't know a lot about him, but hearing the story on how he ended up here is... like making sure of my decisions and who I trust.

And this is my first time to know that my father has a friend... but unfortunately he locked and chained him here for years.

"Alpha. I wish before I'm gone I can visit where your father is buried. I want to ask him for forgiveness, I want to tell him everything."

I stared at him for a few seconds and nodded slowly.

"You can count on me." I stopped for a moment when I remembered something. "What is your name?"

"Theo."

"Alpha!" Felix shouted loudly making me turn from the iron door.

I saw how he gasped while his two hands are on his knees. I suddenly felt tension, I turned inside the cell where the man named Theo was sitting. I also saw the shock in his eyes.

"Alpha! The other pack warriors! They had no intention of joining me! So they wrestled with the other warriors!"

What?!

I quickly walked closer to Felix. It closed the door hard when I came out, when we went up the other pack warriors were there waiting for my orders.

"Besiege every gate and bring the traitorous warriors to me!" I gave a strong order that they immediately obeyed.

I will not allow them to trample and sully their names for short-term gratification.

"Felix."

"What is it Alpha?"

"Bring the man named Theo in the cell downstairs to my office. I need to speak to him."

I wondered just a few seconds ago Felix remained silent behind me, so I turned around and saw the surprise on his face.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Alpha," he hesitantly called me. "Is the Theo you're referring to the one your father imprisoned before?"

I stopped. How did Felix find out about that?

"Not that I'm interfering, Alpha. But that man is a big danger, and if he gets out of his cell, maybe you or the whole territory will be in danger too?" He nervously told me.

A big risk?

"What is the greater danger? Me who is gradually getting angry now or the man I command you?" after I said that, Felix's face gradually turned pale as he stared at me.

I took my eyes off him. "Do as I command, Felix. Before I turn my anger on you." I answered that he quickly did.

"I-I'll follow, Alpha!"

I don't usually get angry, but because of what Nina did to David and Ken, I can't accept that no one is responsible for what happened.

I waited a few minutes in front of the door until three pack warriors full of bruises and wounds were brought in front of me. But their wounds are slowly healing because of the abilities of us werewolves.

I keep staring at them while they're kneeling in front of me. My eyes finally changed its color from being normal to its light gray.

I immediately made them feel what the problem was and what was waiting for them now.

"Put them in the cell. Torture them and don't even stop until they answer from whom they got the forbidden silver that was brought into my territory." After saying that I walked away from them.

I want them to understand what they did. I want them to take responsibility for their wrongdoings and starting now, I won't tolerate it.

I heard the shouts of the three of them, calling me after I said those words in front of them. I know they already know the meaning of what is happening now, they already know that they cannot run away from their sin.

*"Shiena, how's Ken?"* I immediately thought of linking to Shiena because I'm worried about Ken's condition.

*"Wow, Alec? Is Ken really the first thing you check before your Gamma?"*

I sighed. *"Okay, how's them?"*

*"Psh. I'm in David's room and he is finally okay, but Ken is still on his room, sleeping soundly. You should go there, he might look for you if he ever wakes up."* After she said that, I quickly walked to the Mansion and went to Ken's room.

When I opened it, I saw one of the she-wolves and it looked like she knew I was coming. So when I entered the room, she leaves the room.

Now me and Ken that are the only inside of the room and he was still sleeping on the bed, ungarded. The anger that I felt slowly disappeared when I saw that my shirt that I gave to him earlier were on his face.

He was still sniffing it, as if through that something he was completely calmed down. I don't understand my feelings, I let him use my shirt because it has my scent, but to this day I still wonder why I do it.

I walked over to the closet and was about to open it to get a new shirt when I heard Ken's low growl. I looked at him and I saw how his eyes slowly opened, and his beautiful eyes immediately looked at me.

I swallowed and stopped what I am doing, I just stared at him until his eyes started to blink as he looked at me.

"A-alpha?" He softly called me causing me to quickly walked to the side of the bed where he was laying.

"H-how are you? Are you still in pain? Are you still dizzy?" I asked him one after another.

But he couldn't speak immediately because I saw his eyes look down from my face, down my chest and to my abdomen.

His eyes slowly widened when he saw it with his two eyes, and his face immediately turned red.

Wait... "Ken, are you---"

"D-did something happen to us?"

What?
