Episode 10

Our eyes locked, and I could swear I felt the strong pull that drew me to her. I felt so attracted to her that her pain was becoming my pain. The sadness in her eyes was hurting me. All I craved for was her happiness. I found myself getting attached in a way that I couldn't understand.

Her scent filled my nostrils, making me shiver. The scent was so sweet, so heartwarming, it made me feel something I had never felt before.

I wished I could walk up to her and hug her close to my body. I just wished I could kiss and take her home. But all those were mere wishes because I couldn't even stand up. Dad's gaze was on me, and it was eating me deeply. It was freaking me out. I didn't need a soothsayer to know what would befall me if I got close to the daughter of Wolve.

"We caught her in the kitchen just as Elf guessed. She was about to put the poison into the food," one of the guards said with a deep growl as they bowed.

Everyone cringed in shock, with both eyes widened. I was more shocked than stunned at the news. What did the guard just say?

My mate is trying to poison everyone.

I couldn't believe that.

There was great anger and rage in the eyes of Alpha Wolve and I could see all he wanted was to kill the young girl.

"They are lying!..it's all lies, I swear, I can't kill, I've never killed, how would I want to kill my father and everyone here, I'm not a demon!" She cried, pleading with everyone. I felt my heart twitch. I felt deep pain and sadness coursing through me.

She was pleading with everyone, trying so hard to make them believe her, as she could see them all angry and shocked at the same time. They were all glaring at her, holding themselves back from pouncing on her. She was in real tears, pleading...

Her eyes got to mine again, and I flinched. She also paused, her lips quivering.

"Sir, I hope you don't also believe their lies. I'm innocent and can't even hurt a fly" I heard her voice in me...

My eyes widened with my mouth agape. She just made a mind link to me? 

I swear her voice was so sweet and soothing ...

"I believe you. I know you are Innocent!" I replied in my mind and she smiled...

"That's my mate!" I heard my wolf scream so loudly that I almost went deaf. I could feel the happiness that it had seen a mate after so many years. We were already losing hope and dad had told me I wasn't given a mate,

I could also feel her wolf leap for joy too.

Just then, a loud slap landed on her cheek and she fell flat on the floor.

"She even got the time to smile at her crush??.. I can't believe this!" Everyone murmured as the guard hit her like she was a non-living thing.

"Stop!" The alpha Wolve ordered and stood up.

"That demon over there wants us all dead. What should we do? Please, it is part of why I called this gathering, I want you all to tell me what to do to her. The sorcerer had told us she was from the demon clan. I'm afraid she might kill my entire family..." He spoke with abhorrence and disgust in his voice...

"Isn't she your daughter?" I asked abruptly, and he scoffed and spit out...

"She never was and never will be! I have disowned her after finding out she isn't from my genetics. I'm sure she must have come in this form to accomplish her evil mission!" He growled.

I was about to attest again when Dad raised his brow at me angrily. I sighed and paused.

Dad turned back at Wolve, and I could see the hatred in his eyes. He was just actually there for a reason. He wasn't here for the enjoyment. He wanted to find the best way to destroy the pack. That was just one of the many things he desired...

I yelped and buried my face in my palm. My heart was heavy now and I felt my eyes getting wet...

"The best is caging her forever! Never allow her out. That way, you will know when she tries to hurt anyone, and anytime she tries to turn into the demon she is, we will be able to destroy her. Also, she should be starved regularly so she won't be able to have the strength to shift..." Elf suggested, and I cringed, staring at her in utmost shock...

My eyes roamed around, and I saw everyone smiling and nodding their heads. It struck me so hard, my whole body quivered. I felt my heart pierced.

"That's the best treatment for her; we can't allow the demon to defeat us!" One of the Alphas present huffed and everyone concurred...

"Have I ever hurt anyone??.. Elf tell me where I wronged you!' She cried and couldn't even say more because the beta rushed at her with a heavy blow that left her sprawled on the ground spitting out blood.

"You dared to call her by her name?... Are you mad?!" He howled and kicked her belly.

I quickly stood up and took two steps forward to save her. I couldn't just bear it any longer. It was killing me to see my mate being treated that way, but I couldn't go any further before Dad grabbed my hand...

"We would be leaving. Something urgent came up!" He said to Alpha Daren Wolve with a forced smile...

"Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't serve any...."

"Oh, it's alright, take care!" Dad broke his word and walked out hastily, dragging me with him.
