Chapter 16 - Smile Lines

The scar was huge. There was no denying that fact.

A fine line drawn from my jaw bone up to my cheek bone.

I looked horrendous.

I've been in this bathroom for about half an hour and the King has called on me three times already asking me to hurry up and if I was okay.

Truth is I'm scared of his reaction. He won't like this at all. I mean not every girl has a scar across their cheek this visible.

To make things worse, it was in the process of healing which only made it look nastier with the specks of brown and red tracing through it.

"I'm getting impatient angel." I hear him growl from the other side of the door yet again and I know that I can't just hide in here forever.

I walk hastily towards the door and un-click the lock. I pull the door open slowly, looking down at the floor the whole time as I exit the bathroom.

I soon feel his two fingers being placed underneath my chin causing me to inhale a sharp breath as he raises my head up to look at him.

The second we make eye contact, I watch as the brown colour of his eyes swirl into a more fierce black colour.

"What." He breathes. "The fuck." He breathes deeper.

"IS THAT ON YOUR FACE!" He roars in complete rage, punching the wall beside us leaving yet another hole.

"I... uh... p-please...don't...sir..." I try to choke out but before I can say anything more he cuts me off.

"Was this Carter?!" He barks out.

I nod at him once, afraid of his power and lack of self control right now and before I can even attempt to calm him down he is out of the bedroom, storming through the house.

I can hear his yelling and swearing until eventually I can't hear him anymore which only makes me become more nervous.

Please don't do anything stupid...


*******The King's POV******

-Strong Violence throughout the rest of this chapter-


Annoyed?

No I was fucking seething with rage!

HOW. DARE. HE. MARK. .HER. PERMANENTLY!

I'm going to mark him permanently. Make him the little bitch that he is.

Within a minute I was in the cells, storming through the halls to find my prey.

406
407
408
Ahhhhh here we are 409.

These are the maxiumum security cells, the worst of all. Cells 0-250 are all regular cells and from 250 upwards it holds the worst of the worst pack criminals.

Carter was the worst of the worst. The lowest of the low. The scum of this earth. My earth.

I unlocked the door with my finger print and there he was, looking as pathetic as ever, sitting tied to an electric chair, beaten up and bruised in front of me.

"You bastard!" I hear him spit out at me and before I could even process his words I had already punched him in the throat, catching his breath.

"You marked what's mine!" I bellowed before punching him in the stomach this time, knocking the air out of him further.

I don't need to shift to deal with this idiot. I can kill him slowly and more painfully in my human form. Like he deserves.

"I want answers and I want them RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" I yell at him again.

He shakes his head telling me no and I swear all I can see right now is red.

"If you won't give me my answers then I guess I'll just have to force them out of you won't I?" I say smugly whilst strolling over to the electrical switches on the far wall.

His eyes widen in horror but he doesn't make any move to beg me to stop. I'm guessing he has too much pride to beg so I go ahead and turn up the power to medium.

I hear the sick, sizzling sounds of electricity as they travel through the 6 wires connecting to his body. Carter jerks and shakes, screaming in pain but I don't give him a second thought since I'm enjoying the scene way too much.

I switch it off after about 12 seconds not wanting to kill him just yet and I watch as his breathing comes out in short pants.

His face trickles with sweat and his eyes water from the pain causing me to grin at my handy work.

12 seconds on medium? I'd like to see the state he gets himself into when I turn it up to full.

"So... Carter... let's talk." I say eerily as I watch him shake with fright.

"I have nothing to tell you." He states, causing me to throw a punch at his nose, cracking it effortlessly.

He yells in more pain and I'm beginning to get bored of him already.

I stroll once again back over to the electrical switches and turn the waves up to high. The cracklings and snapping sounds become louder and his screams are now deafening.

I switch off the electrics and once again go back to him. "Speak." Is all I say and I watch as he fails to get air into his body.

"I...I..." He mutters out, making me even more impatient.

"Spit it out already you fucking prick!" I shout in his face causing him to tremble.

"I... rejected my true mate... b-because I heard... about the Alpha's title b-being up for grabs... she was never my real mate." He chokes out making me grind my teeth in frustration.

"Why the fuck did you abuse my mate when she had done nothing to you?!" I bark out again.

"I just... I just couldn't stand the sight of Leoni... it hurt me to reject my true mate... but the title of Alpha means so much more to me... Leoni was a burden... she wasn't even mine and yet I still had to pretend like I loved her... it angered me that I had to share my title with her!" He says bitterly making me tense. How dare he think so lowly of my mate!

"She is no Burden! You are the burden... and I don't like burdens very much Carter... do you know what I do to burdens?" I tease him evilly, watching him break one last sweat.

"I kill them." I whisper in his hear causing him to tremble.

I retrieve a knife from a nearby table and twirl it effortlessly around my fingers whilst glaring at him.

I press the blade against his face slowly and before he can protest or beg, I slit all the way from one side of his cheek across to his other side, creating two pretty little smile lines.

He cries out in pain as the blood flows from his cheeks and mouth causing him to cough harshly on the blood.

This was a much more creative cut than the one he left on my girl.

"How about we make you my little bitch pup" I say, as I watch him shake and cough in pain.

I carve the words "Kings Slave" across his forehead with the knife before retrieving a mirror and forcing the pathetic little scum bag to look at himself.

"Pathetic aren't you." I mutter out as I watch him shiver at his bloody reflection.

I grin at my handy work before whispering a last "goodbye you little bitch" into his ear.

No mercy. He never cared about the pain Leoni felt.

I head back over to the electrical switches and I turn them on full, leaving him there to die a painful, slow death.

When I see his body begin to jerk, causing the blood from his mouth to spit out across the room, I lock the cell and smirk to myself as I travel back through the corridors hearing his yells and pleads.

He can die.

They don't just call me the cruellest Alpha for nothing you know. Carter hurt what's mine so I killed him.
