Unknown territoryAlpha Office
A man sat behind the seat, drinking from the glass of alcohol in his hand.
His eyes stay fixated on his Beta standing in front of him.
“Any update?”
He questions.
Starting at the swirling liquid.
And the Beta bows.
“From an insider.
It has been confirmed that Mrs Siera is getting treated horribly.
She was tied publically and humiliated.
”
The Alpha barely hmms.
Not looking much bothered.
Taking another sip.
He looks up.
“Well, that was expected.
Did he hurt her physically?”
“Not yet Alpha.
”
“Hmm.
Just make sure he doesn’t get to know about her real identity.
Things will go haywire if he even gets a whiff of it.
”

“No one knows about it except you, me and Luna.
Rest assured Sir.
The Alpha nods again and gets up to look at the map placed on his table.
A smirk makes way on his lips as he takes a marker and circles the Silvermoon territory in Red.
“Very soon this entire territory will be mine.
That bastard Xavier wouldn’t even know what hit him.
”
“He will be on his knees, begging me for mercy.
“But I won’t show any.
Π
The man’s eyes shined with malice as he imagined his victory.
Gulping the liquid, he chuckles to himself.
“Alpha, everything till now is going according to our plan.
But what next?”
“The council is keeping an eye on our every move.
We can’t afford a mistake.
”
The Alpha gets up to his full height.
Placing his hand on his Beta’s shoulder he nods at him.
“And that’s why we won’t make a move.
Someone in Silver Moon territory will.
”

The Beta was confused.
Alpha was talking in riddles.
“I don’t understand…
“The only way to destroy Silver Moon is through the council.
If something was to happen to the commodity exchanged in the barter.
It shows negligence on the part of Xavier to hold onto his side of the deal.
”
“Violating it will make the barter void and Silvermoon punitive.
And you already know what are the repercussions of going against the council.
The Beta looks at his Alpha in shock, now understanding what this means.
“The Alpha gets stripped down from his position and banished.
“Exactly.
And that’s when we attack Silvermoom and capture it.
Making us the strongest pack in the world.
”
“Bravo Alpha! You are are genius! But-”
“But what?”
“Mrs Sierra.
Does this mean you are going to get her killed?”
The Alpha turns his back on the Beta to go silent for a minute.
“One has to give something to get something in return.
Sacrifices have long been a symbol of martyrdom.
”
“Instead of living a life as a slave of that bastard.
She should die with the little self–respect that she has left.

Beta didn’t say anything.
He felt pity for the girl.
She had no fault.
in all this but she was paying for the sins that weren’t even hers.
And if all that happened wasn’t enough for her, now she has to lay her life for it.
.
She was thinking what she was going through was the worst.
If only she knew, the real worst was just beginning.
“Choose the best of the best for the job.
I don’t want any leniency.
”
“Noted Alpha.
”
“Dismiss”
The Beta leaves and Alpha settles down back on his chair.
Drawing a big cross on the Silvermoon territory on the map.
He chuckled to himself.
His laughter echoes in the empty room.
Silver Moon territory2:00 am Open assembly ground.
The place was deserted with no one around except for one.
Still tied to the wooden pole, the girl’s body was drifting in and out of consciousness.
Her maid clothes were drenched in dirty soil water, a sticky
slime–like liquid stuck to her once soft tendrils.
People’s saliva from their spitting at her, slides down her skin making her feel worse than fifth.

Just imagining the scene that had happened filled her eyes with tears and she felt her stomach revolving.
The contents of her stomach crawl up to be pushed out and before she can stop herself, she gags to vomit at her own clothes the 3 Rd time.
She stank.
Worst than garbage.
And another sob escapes her lips.
The people did everything they could to break her, pouring nasty liquid on her head, drenching her in ice–cold water, throwing waste on her, throwing eggs, calling her names, and spitting on her.
They were angry at her, she could understand.
Her father killed their Luna.
But what was her fault?
Just that his blood was running inside her?
This world is not fair.
She has heard it before.
But it was the first time she was experiencing it.
She missed home.
She just wanted to go back.
Lock her room and cry her heart.
But she couldn’t.
She can’t go against the council.
No one could.
The cool night breeze which generally kissed her skin felt like.
pointed spikes today.
She shivered, drenched from head to toe and her teeth clattered.

Dehydration was settling in a long with hypothermia.
She knew it wouldn’t be long before her body would submit to darkness to protect her.
Another half an hour passed, and she was still in a dazed state when she felt rough fingers touching her wrists.
She flinches to only see the Beta untying her.
As soon as the ropes leave her wrists, her body slumps down on the ground.
Her knees scrap against the wood and her palms extend to stop her fall.
Breathing heavily.
Trying to push aside the dizziness.
She looks down to find a pair of shining immaculate shoes in front of her.
Her palms clench into fists.
“It seems the practical demonstration did wonders.
I brought you down on your knees willingly in a matter of just 5 hours, now isn’t it wonderful?”
His words tried to crack her pride, but he was mistaken if he thought it was made of glass.
“The next time you want to ignore my orders? Think again.
Your every action will have repercussions from now on.
Her dropping eyes shoot up to look at him in hate and he couldn’t care less about it.
Gathering the little strength left in her, she lift her trembling hands to grip his collar.
Her words coated in malice.
“I…I hate you so damn much! What.
.
what is my fault in this? Why are you doing this…I am innocent”

A sinister look clouds his eyes.
“Innocent? Even my Rebecca was innocent.
Yet your father showed no mercy.
What makes you think I will show any?”
Getting up, he lets her grip drop on his shirt collar.
Looking up at his Beta he nods.
“My father is a monster.
Trust me I begged him to not hurt her but-
Ice cold water is poured on her and she struggles to get up to only fall back.
Clawing back, she tries to avoid it when the Betal steps closer to her.
A bucket of water in his hands.
“No…aghhh!”
He pours it on her and her body can’t take it anymore.
She blacks out, dropping to the ground and the Beta looks at her in pity.
“Clean her up and dispose of her in the attic
“She will start working at 5 am tomorrow.
”
“As my maid.
”
With this being said, Zachary turns around and leaves her behind.
Not showing even an ounce of humanity.
Once assured that Zach had left, Beta Ron removed his jacket and covered her with it.
“I am so sorry.
You have to endure this.
He speaks.
Pulling her up in his arms.
To take her back to her

She has fainted twice in the last 24 hours.
He wondered how long this petite woman could take it.
Because no matter what.
One thing was clear.
She was going to die young.
And it would be worse than Rebecca’s death.
Xavier will make sure of it.
