Cleopatra's Fury
Cleopatra's POV
I woke up with a splitting headache. I was confused when I took in the scene before me. What was I doing in Alpha Kane's private house?
The last thing I remember before passing out was Alpha Kane looking at me with worried eyes. I guess he brought me up here to rest afterwards. But why here? Why not my own room?
I quickly shoved the thoughts aside and left the house.
After my brief run-in with the ever creepy Alpha Dylan, I headed straight for the pack house to freshen up.
While in the shower, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was forgetting something but any time I tried to think deeply about it, I would have this blackout accompanied by the most throbbing headaches.
I headed for Alpha Kane's office after grabbing breakfast and met him on the phone. He was saying something about wolf hunters and invasion.
“Alpha Kane, I'm so sorry for not returning when you told me to. It won't happen again,” I said with my head fixated on the ground as soon as he got off the phone.
Why do I feel like we've had this confrontation before?
“No Cleo. I'm sorry for not being there for you,” he said with a sad expression on his face.
This is weird. What's he apologizing for?
Then I remembered Alpha Williams' plan to use the spies our pack planted against us.
“Alpha, I have something important to share with you regarding…,”
“I'm sorry Cleopatra. But your friend Alex is dead,” he said, cutting me off midway.
“What? How? Where?”
“Beta Jack discovered him. He was dumped in front of his house. I made him take care of the body so you won't see it. I'm really sorry, this was not..”
His voice faded, like an echo lost in the woods. I could hear my heart beating loud in my chest like it could jump out any second.
How can he be dead? Who would do this and why?
“We found this close to the body,” he said and handed me a dagger. It had a symbol on it that seemed quite familiar. Where have I seen this?
“Who does this belong to?” I growled, anger and pain boiling within me.
“We don't know yet. But I promise that we will find out,” he said and squeezed my shoulder.
I held back the tears. I don't have the right to cry until I find whoever did this to my human and get my revenge.
“Oh and your phone was ringing all night, I had to turn it off. Alpha Williams was…,”
“Alpha Williams!” I growled angrily. I remember the symbol on the dagger. It's almost on everything that belonged to him, kind of like his initials.
“Yes, he called severally and…,” I cut him off again with an ear splitting scream. How could I have been so stupid?
Was that why he asked me to go to the hotel? So he could kidnap Alex? But why? Jealousy? He thinks he owns me? I swear that I will make him pay.
“He did this. He killed Alex,” I wheezed out in anger.
“I had my suspicions but I wanted to investigate thoroughly before telling you. He's more deadly than we thought. And to think you've been going easy on him?”
“I will kill him,” I muttered under my breath, my fists clenched tightly.
“And I will help you do that,” Alpha Kane whispered, his hands still on my shoulders.
*****
Emptiness was all I felt.
To think that he would kidnap Alex, kill him and also join me to search for him? My hatred for Alpha Willaims Deluca had just been fueled and the fire reignited.
Vengeance and fury burned inside me when I was told about Alex’s death that I forgot the burning questions I had for my Alpha.
I quickly forgot about the dream I had about the nightmarish cell, although I did ask Beta Jack later on and he said there was nothing like that.
Now I am back at the Silverfang Pack with a renewed fury and a plan. I will be Alpha Willaims’ downfall. I will make him pay. With his life of course.
I was consumed by a burning desire for revenge. No matter how hard I tried to hide my hatred for him, it still found a way to creep into my face.
My Alpha told me about the grand invasion tomorrow during the meeting. I would strike then, no matter the cost. I strode down the hallway leading to the meeting hall, trying to get the overall feel and take mental notes of every corner.
That was when I saw it. The CCTV camera. He thinks setting them up will change the fact that he'll die during the meeting tomorrow?
Then I noticed that preparations have stopped. What could they be up to? The sound of my phone ringing made me jump up in surprise. I picked it up and it was Beta Jack. The meeting has been moved elsewhere.
Fuck.
I have to look for a way to convince him to take me along. I smiled deviously when a plan clicked in my head. He killed Alex, and I'm about to use that to my advantage.
I made my way to his room and lay on the bed, wrapping myself up with the blankets and started sobbing quietly.
An hour had passed before I heard the door open and his steady footsteps approaching the bed. He found me curled up on his bed, sobbing uncontrollably and reached out to hold me.
“Cleopatra, what's wrong?” He asked, his voice filled with concern.
I looked up at him, my eyes filled with tears. “I lost Alex and now, I'm scared that his killer might come after me,” I whispered.
I saw his expression shift to a guilty one. Of course he should feel guilty. He killed Alex!
Alpha Williams pulled me into his arms and held me tightly. “Don't worry,” he said, his voice soothing. “I'll protect you.”
I leaned into his embrace as he stroked my hair gently. “Please don't leave me. I'm terrified,” I muttered, my voice trembling slightly.
His arms that once held a flicker of warmth in them were now like cold ice to my skin. I hate him.
“I won't. I promise,” he said, his voice barely audible.
" I'm worried that if I stay here without you being with me whoever killed Alex might come for me. Please don't leave me here for any reason," I said as I drew closer to him for added effect, like my life depended on him.
" I...I don't know Cleopatra, I have somewhere important to be tomorrow and I cannot take you with me," he said, his voice filled with sadness.
" No, no please, if you leave me you might not find me when you return or you might find my corpse. I feel threatened and vulnerable, Alpha. If you really want to protect me, you'll take me with you," I said as I pulled away from him feigning hurt.
He sighed and I knew that he was soon going to crack.
" You have to promise me to behave," he said and I nodded.
" Tomorrow we leave first thing in the morning. You have to prepare your things if you're coming along," he said and I couldn't help but smirk internally.
Only if he knew he was sitting right in front of his downfall.
I'm going to make him pay for all he has done, even if it's the last thing I do.
