Chapter 80

'Riel!!!" She screamed, falling on her knees. She fainted.
*********
Riel was laying on his bed, his both hands rested behind his head. His eyes were closed, but he wasn't sleeping.
'Riel!!!" The voice echoed in his ears.
He opened his eyes. He smiled.
If he was able to hear her voice, then that means鈥� he has her back in control.
But he wasn't going to do anything. Whatever that was going on in the castle was their business, not his.
All he has for Moon Stone pack and its King was revenge and justice.
It's three days left to go, yet, Matt hasn't showed any sign of taking off the crown鈥� Willingly.
And he wasn't intending for him to take it off willingly.
He wanted him to be the stubborn brother he has always known so as to have a chance to pour all of his anger on him.
Anger was an understatement to him. Anger was his heartbeat, his aim.
And nothing pained him than being betrayed by the one person he cared for the most. The one person he had always believed loved him as much as he did loved him back.
Not just that, being ignored by someone you trusted. He had always pictured hope in her, but she turned it all down the very moment she pushed him off her head.
Since that very day, he swore never again will he trust anyone. If possible, not even himself.
His pains, his hurts were from those dear to him. And that is why he was never gonna do anything, despite knowing how much she needed his help.
***************
The afternoon sun was so hot on the skin. Riel was busy with the press up in his training room, tirelessly doing it without a pause.
Even as he got to thirty, with the droplets of heat which soaked his skin, he didn't stop.
When he had gotten to the fortieth count, he stopped, and he continued with the sit-up.
After that, he walked to his desk, taking his black gloves from it and fixing it in his hands.
He went to the punching bag. First, he stretched his fingers before landing a punch on the bag.
He offered another punch, then another before he made it a continuous attempt.
He made sure he had enough punches which ended up creating a hole in the bag, causing lots of sands to fall out.
He took off the gloves, taking the bottle of water on the desk. He opened it, gulping the water at once.
He flicked his hands, his claws portrayed out. He moved his claws on the desk, leaving marks on it.
He knows what it's like facing his brother, so if he did wanted him dead for good, he ought to be ready for it.
'I'm coming for you, Matt." He smirked, like he was saying it right on his face. 'I'm coming home for you."
*************
Sophie couldn't sleep last night, her mind wasn't at rest since Desse was still alive.
She doesn't know why Matt refuses to execute her the previous day. And she hoped he won't try extending the days again.
'My Lord, today is the execution day, remember?" She reminded.
'Of course, My Love. I have ordered the executor to get ready for the execution, so rest assured. '
She sighed in relief. 'Well, I was thinking you wouldn't order for it."
'Is it concerning yesterday? I was a lot busy to focus on that. But today, your wishes are my command. '
She smiled evilly. 'Finally, we'll see who goes to hell first." She mumbled to herself.
A guard knocked on the door. 'Your Majesty, the execution is ready." He informed.
Looks at Sophie who was as much ready for this than anyone. 'What are we waiting for, let's get going." She urged.
He held her hand as they made it to the execution ground where Desse could be seen tied against a stick.
She was already bleeding from the hard slap one of the guards had given her.
Matt sat on his chair, and so did Sophie. For a while, Desse's gaze were focused on Matt.
All their moments began to reflect in her mind. First, starting from the very first day he laid his eyes on her.
She couldn't believe she had fallen in love to her enemy, only to look into his eyes to see betrayal.
She moved her gaze to Sophie, a deep frown played on her face. 'You will pay for what you did, Sophie. I will make sure you come to hell with me."
'Hell?" She laughed. 'I'm sorry but after this, I'm gonna repent of my sins and confess them all to God, then, I'm off to heaven. But you, you've got the whole sin and guilt in you. Bye bye. ' She waved.
'Go ahead. ' He ordered.
They untied her from the stick, forced her to get on her knees, laying her head on a wooden table.
The executor cleaned his tall machete sword with a cloth, swung it twice. He rose it high, waiting for a go ahead from the king.
Matt nodded his head for him to take the next action.
Desse's heart was beating so fast that she almost thought she'd die of a heart attack even before the sword gets to her neck.
Her breath became hard, each air she breathed came with a force. She used this few second to imagine what it feels like to be dead.
But when the sword was inches from her neck, there was a distraction. Someone from nowhere shot an arrow at the executor's left arm.
He yelled in pain, dropping the sword to the ground. Every eyes went to the direction the arrow had followed from but there was no one to see.
'What was that?" Sophie stood up, staring around. 'Search around for the intruder. ' She commanded.
Another arrow was shot, and this time it was directed at Matt. But being so sensitive and fast, Matt was able to dodge it.
The third one flew towards Sophie. Matt held her hand, shifting her away from the arrow.
'Protect the King!!" Yelled the royal chief guard. 'Your Majesty, we need to get you out of here." He led them away from the ground.
Desse stood up to run but was stopped by the executor who grabbed her left leg.
She turned to look at him, kicking his wound with her other leg. He screamed, painfully, letting her go.
'Fu*k you!" She spat on him.
She was gonna sneak out of the palace. She wanted to leave the fortress for good, when someone called her name.
'Desse!!" She turned, glaring around to see who it was. 'Jane. ' The voice was right in front of her.
'Diana?" She called in surprise. 'What the heck are you doing here?" She questioned.
'I came to save you. '
' Tell me you aren't the one who shot that arrow. '
' I am. Well, I wasn't intending to kill Matt, he's life belongs to Prince Riel. But that so-called witch, she was my business. '
'What about me? I have to leave this place for good."
'No, you return back to the dungeon."
'Are you kidding me? You expect me to go to that hell of death?" She scoffed. 'I'm leaving."
'Leaving the fortress will only change fate. And once fate is changed, destiny is being tampered. A lot of thing are bounded to happen when destiny changes. You must return to the dungeon and remain there until fate decides. '
Remain there? In an opportunity like this for her to escape for good, she will have to stay for fu*king fate to decide??
Desse hated the idea but what can she do? She had no choice.
'Fine. But what if Matt or even that god forsaking bitch tries killing me by themselves, do I also have to wait for fate to decide? Because right now, right here I am so damn confused. '
'No one will kill you. I am your maker, I know what I am saying. '
Desse sighed. 'Just fine. So, who's gonna lock me up, myself?"
'No, I'll do it myself."
She sneaked back into the dungeon, entering into the cave. 'Now, I'm gonna stuck in here for shit nothing. Diana, can you please come up with some thing else other than this crazy idea?"
Just then, Matt showed up, anger burning on his face. 'You." He points at her.
'So you were gonna have me dead for real? Just for her sake?" She stormed.
'I was gonna do everything just for her sake."
'Oh, great. So what's that supposed to do with me? Get me jealous or what?"
' You're just a maid, what's so difficult to believe in that?"
'Yeah, I was a normal girl who lived a normal life until you came and took the people I love away from me. As if that wasn't enough for you, you took me for your selfish gain.
And as if that still wasn't enough, you got married to me. Yet, still not contented with that, you almost got me fu*ked! ' She didn't know when the last statement left her mouth.
'You want to accuse me of raping you?!" He furrowed his brows.
'That's because we were supposed to get fu*ked, asshole! ' She cursed.
' Jesus Christ what's this bitch saying?! Guards, I think she needs some attention right now! '
' You're the one who needs a special attention because very soon鈥� very soon, you will be sent to hell." She cursed, staring right into his eyes.
He walks into the dungeon, their eyes not leaving each other. 'What did you just say?" He asked.
'I think you just heard me right. You will be going right straight to hell just in two days to come." She repeated.
He gave her a resounding slap, sending her to the ground. 'You dared to pray for my death? Who the fu*k do you think you are?"
'The normal girl who earnestly prays for your downfall. And surprisingly, it seems like the heavens just heard my prayers. Alpha Riel is back and alive, and in two days he'll be back for you. ' She said confidently.
Matt's face turned to a deep frown hearing her call his younger brother an Alpha. He pulls her up by the hair, 'I am the alpha here, remember? That son of a bitch won't take off my crown."
'You calling your momma a bitch now?" She laughed, ' I can't believe you're the son of a bitch too."
He slapped her on the other cheek. ' You shut up!"
' I don't remember saying anything before you鈥� you know, slapped me."
' I'm gonna do that again if you say any shit. '
' Oh please, I just remembered I've got to be tied up." Looks at the guards. ' Please help me with the chains, I'm getting frustrated already. '
She stretched out her hand for the guards. They glared at her then at Matt, confusedly. 'Sire, should we?" They asked
'She asked for it, so do it." He angrily walked out.
' Hurry up, okay or I change my mind."
After the guards had locked her up, they locked the door too.
' Diana, you were supposed to be here and not him."
'I couldn't lock you up for nothing, so I had to bring up a case between you and your鈥� Ex."
' Great. That was the greatest idea you've ever made, Diana." She sighed. 'Fu*k!!!"
