Chapter 66: Chapter 66

"You are really wise enough to take my advice. If you had said any other words, you would be a dead man now" I shrugged, plopping on the bed as I looked away from his face to avoid those eyes, which seemed to have love charm in them.

"I saw the fury in my father's eyes. There was no trace of love or compassion as he looked at me. It was like I was prey to be devoured. He doesn't love or care about me anymore. " Torian breathed in a very sad tone, sniffing as he leaned his head against the wall.

"That's why you should stay away from him and don't try to stop whatever he is doing or try to disobey him." I replied with a deep sigh as I know how tough this will be. Torian will sit back and watch his father do a lot of evil.

Alpha Darren will do things that have never been heard of in the history of the wolf kingdom. It will bring more casualties because they will try to stop him without knowing he has immeasurable powers now.

"When did my father turn like this? I was in a coma for just a day. You have already transformed him into a heartless soul like you were. Is he working for the demon king too?" Torian shot at me, his voice cracking like one who was about to start crying anytime soon.

In all he said, one word caught my attention, which made me look up at him sharply.

"You mean I was a heartless soul and not anymore? Or was it a slip of the tongue?" I inquired, hoping he wouldn't say it was a mistake. Just suddenly, I longed for him to tell me I was not a heartless soul anymore.

"Sophia, is there nothing that can be done to put an end to this?" He asked, ignoring my other question and making me realize how stupid I was to ask such a thing, knowing full well how bad I was for making the desire for revenge cloud my brain that I ended up doing what would bring an end to the existence of this pack.

How was I hoping for someone to tell me I'm not a heartless soul when that's one of my natures?

"The only solution is Lola, but I won't be saying anything again because there is something important you should do now." I paused, contemplating if it was the right thing to do. I was really betraying the demon king, knowing how dangerous it was.

"What should I do?" He breathed the question with a cringe, sprinting closer to me.

"Find a way to reach Lola. If it is impossible, then it is all useless" I sighed, not understanding what was wrong with me.

"Sophia, why are you doing all this to me? Why do you want to destroy this pack?" He purred, sitting beside me on the bed. His cologne filled my nostrils, forcing me to spring away from him.

"Torian, where did you get this love charm, spell, or whatever from?" I requested, glaring at him as it dawned on me that it wasn't all normal. Torian is one of those guys who I don't care if he dies or not. I never had a single pinch of love for him all this time. He took me as his mate.

It was all part of the plan. Now that it was all about to end in my favour, these silly feelings began to build up inside me. It isn't normal. Torian had something he wasn't telling me.

"You believe all love feelings and attraction are all formed by magic spells and charms. That isn't true. We just have to help each other out of this mess and build a better future together." He mumbled, and those words sounded so awkward in my ears.

"You don't know who I am. It is so useless to think it can ever work between us. Take your weak self to the palace and watch how your father slaughters everyone that tries to object to him. Maybe that will be a better reason for you to stay calm and face the misery and doom about to befall everyone in this pack, " I shrugged, striding out at quick paces, smacking my lips and grimacing.

I don't know why it kept echoing inside me and sounding sweet. So to help this pack from being destroyed, I will be with Torian in the future. All those things Torian said were supposed to irritate the shit out of me, but they never did.

As much as I tried to scoff at it as trash talk, it kept making sense to me.

"Oh, God, not this time!"

The only way to save this pack from being destroyed is to betray the demon king by helping Lola avoid being exposed by the vampire clan.

Why would I take such a risk?

I think the best thing is to stay far away from Torian to escape whatever charm he is using.

Torian's POV

Just as Sophia had said, I ran out of the room, down the stairs, heading to the palace. I could see the terror in the royal guards' eyes as they cowered at every corner of the walls.

There was an unusual silence which enveloped every part of the house, just as if everyone had become mute. With a quiet step, I walked over to the palace door, and the first thing that hit my nose was the swirling scent of demons.

My eyes widened open as my body began to shift slowly to my wolf nature, ready to attack any demon I was about to see. Demons are like nightmares and have never been tolerated. They are dreaded and rejected by the wolves, even more so than vampires.

I can't help but wonder how I was smelling such a scent inside the palace. With a heavy kick, I burst the door and barged in with a roar as my claws and fangs shot out.

"Where are those demons from?!" I thundered, my Alpha blood running hot and triggering more powers from me. I was ready to protect anyone who would be attacked by the demon.

I don't know how I forgot everything Sophia told me. It was like I had a memory loss, not remembering that my father was no longer a normal werewolf but a tool used by the demon king. He was the one who was bringing demons into the pack.

It hit me like a bomb the moment I stared at him sitting on the throne with a smirk, with two demons sitting on both sides of his throne.

The position for me and my mother, the Luna, had been occupied by two scary and powerful demons, who had enormous wings and scaly bodies. Their eyeballs were missing and replaced with dark fog with scorpions and serpents crawling around them like pets.

"Are you here to fight as a hero like your mother?" My father snorted, and that shook me as I realized my mother was missing. My eyes darted to every corner, and all I could see was the dead bodies of the royal members of the pack.

All were lying in the pool of their blood, with most of their internal organs missing. There were also royal guards who were slaughtered. The palace looked so bloody and eerie with the demon scent hitting through every corner.

"Where is my mother? Don't tell me you killed her? Don't tell me you killed your mate and Luna!" I screamed in great terror, and I saw how his eyes lost the darkness in them for some moment.

"Who is dead? My Luna?" He inquired with his mouth agape.

I sneered at him, wondering how he was asking me the same question I was throwing at him. The door opened at that moment, and the Beta stepped in at a slow pace, having a huge smirk on his face.

"Look at what is happening here! See those demons sitting beside Father like rulers of the pack!" My voice burst out as I poured it out to the Beta, thinking he had a way to help. I don't just know what to do or say.

Everything was playing out like an acted movie or nightmare, and even now, I hope to wake up and find out it wasn't all real.

How the hell can one of the most powerful packs turn like this in the blink of an eye?

"Go to bed, little boy..." The Beta scoffed at me with a push that slammed me to the wall so hard that it cracked.

"Mr. Alpha, you will need to kill your Luna now, but before then, it will be fun to watch me rape her just as you did to my mate." Those were the last words I heard from Beta, who was Sophia's father.

It was quite distant in my ears due to the excruciating pain I got from crashing against the wall, so I tried not to believe my ears didn't deceive me.

"No!! Please, please, don't do this to me! I beg of you! I promise to kill myself or do anything you want me to do! But keep her away from all this! She is innocent!" My almighty father was begging. His voice hitched while he sobbed.

Can someone wake me up? Because this can't be real.

"Bring her in!!" I heard the Beta order and the next thing was the cry of my mother, filling the whole room.

I forced my eyes open to see her being dragged in, slapped and punched like a slave.

Darren's POV

It was like some dark force left me and I got back to my senses only to see that I had lost control of my entire body. I was pinned to the throne. The first thing I realized was the strong scent of demons that filled the room.

My son was in front of me and he just said something that shook me. He mentioned my Luna being dead, so I had to ask again to be sure I heard him well, but he was peering at me strangely, like I was a demon too.

My eyes glanced at my sides to see the demons flanking me, and I also saw the dead bodies of my royal members, which made my body freeze as some memories began to flash through my head, taunting me with intense guilt so badly.

The memories were blurry but clear enough to make me realize I was the killer of my pack royal members, which explains why my son was giving me that strange stare.

I thought that was all, till my Beta walked in and said the most shocking words of my life. It played in my ears like something unreal, but my eyes were opened enough to see my beautiful Luna being brought in.

How did he know this past secret? Was this karma haunting me again? I really raped and killed the Beta's mate. After so many years, the same thing was about to happen to me. My wife will be raped in front of me.

Oh no!

Please, someone should tell me this is a bad dream. I want to wake up!

Her cries filled the air, the tearing of her gown.

"Please kill me, and leave her!" I kept begging and crying, but it was like my voice was muffled to be heard only by me.

Hot tears were flooding down my cheeks as I watched hopelessly with sharp pain piercing into my heart like thousands of spears. Four demons held her hands and legs wide apart.

"Ahhhhhh...." Her agonizing shrill battered into my ears as my Beta made the first thrust, laughing mockingly at me.

No, this can't be happening!!
