Chapter 28

The Beta grabbed her hair tightly and peered into her eyes.
"You little demon, you've got no right to question her!" He growled and slammed her down to the floor, hardly making her shrill In pain,

"Listen to my order!" My father began, and everyone turned to him.

"Since she defiled my command, she would be severely punished! Get chains to keep her in that room, keep the doors closed all day except when she is given food once a day and in small quantities just to keep her alive!! Add a little quantity of wolfsbane to the chain to torture her and keep her weak! " My Dad ordered it, and I couldn't help the joy that filled my heart.

I quickly ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Dad, you are the best!" I squealed.

"But you saved me before?" "Why are you being this cruel suddenly again?" We heard Elena muffled, and I sneered at her.

"Your magic isn't working anymore. You are a demon, and I can't wait for your clan to arrive. I'll slay them all with my sword!" The Beta howled.

"Take her away please; she disgusts me!" I scoffed, and the guards dragged her away.

"Dad and mom, I love you both!" I squeaked.

"Jason is yours alone," my mother stated, and I blushed.

"Yes, mom..." I couldn't help my grin. I was really lucky to find out about Elena and meet him at an earlier stage.

If I had wasted time, she would have taken him away from me. I needed to explain to him that Elena is evil and was using black magic on him. He should love me alone.

"Now go pull off your school uniform and go to the dining room for your food." Mom smiled, and I nodded with a happy creak.

Dorian eyed me, and I poked my tongue at him.

**********

We all settled down to eat.

"Dad, who cooked this?" Dorian was the first to ask,

I shoved a spoonful of the jollof rice into my mouth and frowned.

"Yes, dad, who cooked this?" I also asked as the taste wasn't as good as it had always been.

"Because Elena is caged, the omegas and slaves cooked everything!" Dad replied, and I sighed. Dorian hissed.

"So those fools can't cook!" He snorted.

"Elena's food is better..." I mumbled under my breath, hating myself for saying that, but I was sure I wasn't lying.

"She would poison us someday when her evil demon gets control of her. Let's forget about that devil!" My mother seethed, and we all nodded.

"Yes, that girl is bad!!... I pray she takes her own life someday." I huffed, rolling my eyes as I took another spoonful.

"Jason doesn't know what he nearly got himself into; that girl would eat his heart one day if we hadn't locked her up!" Dorian scorned

"Jason is mine alone", I smiled to myself.

"I'll help you get that asshole!" Dorian smirked, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"You are the asshole here, scumbag!" I cursed.

Jason's POV

"If you coincidentally find your mate, what will you do?" Dad asked

"Reject her at once!" I replied as he taught me, but this time I forced my voice to be steady and strong so he wouldn't notice the tension.

I had found my mate and couldn't reject her as he had always taught me. It isn't as easy as he said. Elena is my mate. I can feel it.

How will I then reject her when I will be hurt more?

"Okay son, just have this in mind: very soon, we will be waging war on the Silver Moon Pack," he stated with a shrug.

Just then, a great idea crept into my mind, making my heart throb with joy.

"Dad, I have something to say. I think it will be helpful!"

"Go on, son," he coaxed, sipping from the cup of wine on the table.

"Scarlett, the only daughter of Darren, loves me. She is obsessed with me. I want to fake a relationship with her and gain the trust of Darren. It would make it all easier for us. She would end up helping us wipe her pack!" I suggested, and he squinted his eyes.

"You mean she likes you?" He asked, and I nodded, praying he agreed to this. I have my secret plans to get closer to Elena.

"I'll think about it. It is a nice idea. We can lure her into making things so much easier since she would be blinded by the love she had for you." He smirked, and I nodded with a smile.

I stood up and headed to my room. I feel so happy now and can't wait for dad to accept this. If I could get close to Scarlett and become her boyfriend, I would visit her packhouse and get the chance to see my love. I'll be able to see Elena and help her...

You have no idea how lonely I am without her, or how bad I feel knowing she is in pain as a result of the torture and rejection from her family members.

I slumped on my bed and buried my face into the pillow. Her face was all I got in my head. I really can't wait to meet her tomorrow. Her smile brightens my dark soul.

I sat up in bed, picked up a piece of paper, and began sketching again, remembering how she looked when we talked in that garden. Oh my gosh, so beautiful!

Elf's POV

I took out the Pack map I stole. I got into the secret chamber and loosed the ribbon holding it.

I spread it out on the bed and scrutinized the entire drawing, which depicted every part of the pack and their defense stand, including every single trap set for invaders and the positions of the warriors, both those hiding in the trees and those on the ground.

There were also warriors who were spies and whistleblowers, sending information when an attack was imminent.

I captured the whole content in my mind, trying to study every part of it accurately. I'll be making a replica to send to the clan.

I need to complete my mission quickly. I can't wait to get that feeling of victory over Lilian once more, watching her cry as she watches everything burn down.

My demon clan had offered to help me get revenge. I have to do things quickly before Elena makes it harder. I'm afraid she has special abilities that may stop me.

A smug smile filled my face as I successfully captured the whole map's content into my head. It has been so hard to get this map. For so many years of living at the Luna, I didn't know where it was. It was the pack's most crucial piece of information, but this night, I successfully found it.

He thought I was asleep and brought it out to check. I was half asleep and caught a glimpse of where it was while he kept it back after the check-up.

You can't tell how great I feel right now. Daren is asleep deeply. I had to use my magic to increase the intensity of the sleep. I don't want him to wake up and find me taking this out. It would break his trust, which I needed so badly.

Wow, I couldn't be happier as I rolled up the map back. Very soon, the Silver Moon Pack will be history.
