Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Delilah was shouting for help. She was in the dark prison and she asked to be released from there.

She felt her throat become harsh after shouting for a long time.

She felt helpless. She sat on the ground and thought about what was happening to Everett.

After a while, she heard noises. She stood up and step to the door. She grabbed the bars and tried to shout again.

"Is there anyone? Please help me."

She saw a dark silhouette coming toward her cell. It was a man. He opened the door and said,

"Let's hurry. Otherwise, I can not save you."

"Thanks." Delilah said and went out of the prison.

She looked around and saw there were no guards.

She hurriedly ran towards the main door and came out of the prison.

She turned to the man who had just saved her. She was stunned.

It was Thompson, Amanda's butler or Delilah could say Amanda's man.

"Old lady told me to rescue you. She saw Prince Maverick coming out of this way."

Thompson explained. Delilah nodded but paused.

"How did you send the guards away from this prison?" Delilah asked. Because Thompson was an old man, it was quite impossible for him to send all the guards away from the prison.

"I told them that Prince Maverick needed them."

Delilah raised her brows. "W-Where is Everett?" She stuttered but asked with a desperate voice.

"He is outside of the palace."

Delilah nodded and ran on the way of outside.

"Young lady, don't go there. Run away from the back door. You will only die if you go into this war."

Delilah did not look back but replied, "I don't care about my death."

Thompson was shocked when he heard Delilah. He had never seen a courageous girl like Delilah. He felt Delilah really liked Prince Everett.

Meanwhile,

Delilah went out of the palace but was startled when she saw what was going on.

Everything was messed up there. Alpha Alfred's head was on the ground. His body was somewhere else. The queen was crying beside Alpha Alfred's body.

Her eyes roamed around and saw Maverick glaring at somewhere. When she looked at that side, she saw Everett. His eyes were orange, his hands were full of black fur. His claws were visible. She could see blood rolling down to the ground from his claws. It was not his blood for sure.

Then her eyes fell on Havana. Havana was standing beside Everett.

"How can you do that to me? How could you turn my fighters into his men?"

Maverick growled at Havana. Havana folded her arms and replied,

"I was born to be Prince Everett's Gamma."

Delilah saw Maverick's expression. He looked shocked.

"You betrayed your own Alpha??"

Havana scoffed at him. "Don't pretend like you are already crowned. You are not an Alpha king, not yet. Maybe you will never get a chance to be that in the future either."

Hearing her, everyone looked horrified.

Queen Azenia stood up. She glared at Havana.

"What did you say? My son will not be the next the Alpha King?"

Her eyes turned gray. She growled and ran towards Havana like a mad woman.

But before she could do anything to her, Everett grabbed her arm and pushed her to the ground.

"Don't you dare to touch her."

He said and his eyes were gleaming inside. His cheeks started to burn, which startled everyone.

"Y-Your ch-cheeks."

Queen Azenia mumbled in fear.

"Don't worry you will not have to see my burnings for a long time. I will give you a simple death."

Everett's words quaver Queen Azenia totally. She shook her head.

"Everett, I am your mother."

"Mother? What mother? The woman called me her mistake, that mother? The woman trapped my father and destroyed his life, that mother?"

Queen Azenia's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

Everett chuckled and he looked at his claws. He glanced at Delilah and she gulped.

Delilah thought Everett was not aware that she was there. But he got that already.

"I know many things that you have ever imagined."

Queen Azenia shook her head. She stood up and glanced at her son Maverick.

Delilah could understand that they were talking in their mind links.

Queen Azenia stepped aside and grabbed a wooden steak from one of their fighters who had not shifted yet and threw it towards Everett.

Her target was so accurate that it almost hit Everett's chest, but Everett moved and it hit his stomach.

Delilah felt deja vu. It happened before too when Everett was training with his men and she thought they were attacking him. But this time the attack was real.

"EVERETT"

Everyone turned their heads to her when she screamed.

Delilah headed to Everett. She forgot everything and only saw Everett in front of her eyes.

But Maverick grabbed her hand.

"Leave my hand."

"Who let you come outside?" Maverick asked angrily.

Everett's friends, who were in their wolf forms, growled at Maverick. They bit his legs and he cried in pain.

He did not want to shift to save himself because he had another plan.

He did not let go of Delilah's hand.

When Everett heard Delilah, he glared at Maverick.

"Leave. Her."

He said two words and the other shook from the core.

Maverick shook his head. He could feel pain in his legs but he felt Everett's life was still in his hands.

His canines came out and Everett growled when he saw that. He understood what Maverick was trying to do.

When he growled every fighter wolf started to submit to him. Maverick's legs were also trembling but he gathered up all of his strength and stood straight.

Everett pulled out the steak and threw it.

Queen Azenia's steps trembled. She saw his wound was healing so fast. She could not believe her eyes. They were powerful ranks. Of course, their wound could be healed fast, but the way Everett's wound had just healed, it was unbelievable.

"How... How can it be possible? Y-Your wound!"

Maverick did not wait for Everett and came close to Delilah's neck.

"I will mark your woman. Let's see how you will win over me after that."
