Alpha Dominic

still Bethany's POV

Damn,

He's good.

He is 50 f*****g smart, he got me exactly where he wants. He knows me like the back of his palm he knows how curious I can be, he knows I would not give up until I find out exactly why he had canceled our trip to the Alphas lodge. He know that is al I have in my mind, and he decided to use it as a bargaining chip. He knows I want to know, he knows I would kill F*****g do anything to find out why he lied to me, he f*****g knows it all. He is looking at me teasingly, a smug smile on his face, waitin for my response, waiting for me to beg him to tell me the truth or should I call his bluff to see if he is going to keep to his words and tell me the truth as he promised me,

“You don't want me to beg for it, do you?” I asked him teasingly

“No my love, I don’t want you to beg for something this simple, I just want you to admit that you want to hear the truth from “me and when you hear everything, you would still believe and trust in me" He told me pointedly, making me cork my eyebrow in thought as I wondered what he is getting at.

“If you do want to beg for something, you can beg me to turn you over and screw you so hard and so fast until you pass out right here in front of me.” He kept on teasing me, but this time, his teases actually got to me because it's turning me on, making me go wet for him again.

“Oh come on, tell me already." I kept on pushing him for answers, trying so hard to take my mind off these dirty thoughts that were filling my head. He smiled at my inquisitiveness, then he pulled me into his arms and pecked my forehead, holdin me close to him. I don't know why I'm having these strange feelings, it is almost as if he is buttering me up for a very terrible news. Now I'm beginning to feel like I should never have asked him anything in the first place. I have not even heard what he wants to say, but I'm already regretting my actions already. I just want him to say it and get it over with, I just want him to sa it already, it's the suspense that's making it so unbearable for me. He must have sensed my uneasiness because he started talking almost immediately, telling me every time,

“I'm not a monstrous murderer like everyone thinks Beth, I'm not as bad as they all make me out to be." He began his story, telling me stories that I'd never heard before. He told me about his close friendship with the Lycan king and how he found out about the evil plots of King Ashford, and how he planned to wipe us out of existence. He told me everything, telling me how the Lycan king was selling us off one after the other, selling them off to some greedy drug lords that poison them with wolfsbane and overwork them until they die of exhaustion. I have heard the stories many years ago when I was still living with my parents in our pack. It was rumored that the Mafia lord had a deal with King Dominic, it was said that king Dominic was pillaging our packs because he needs more werewolves to sell off to the drug lords. That is one of the reasons why he is hated by everyone. At first, It all started as a stupid rumor that caught our interest but soon enough, it all disappeared and anyone heard talking about it was punished very severely. Before long, everyone stopped talking about all that, only a few people whisper of it in secret.

But Dominic is telling me an entirely different story right now, I can hear the sound of his heart beating so fast as he explained everything to me. I can see why he hasn't said anything about it to me, I can see why he has been finding it hard t talk about this matter to me. It pisses him off, I can see that now. I can see the emotions playing on his face as he speaks of everything he has done to save our people and how they turned around and called him an evil king. He told me how he had tried to reason with King Ashford, but his mind was made up, he wants to wipe out every werewolf from the surface of the earth. He wants to take over the whole country and he doesn’t want to be stopped. We are like threats to him, that is why he wants us out, he doesn't want to be challenged by ordinary wolves like he calls us. The lycans are the enemy and king Dominic has been trying to save us all along. He told me how he saved some of the werewolves that were caught and how he has been fighting to save our lives for many years.

I tried to compare everything my father has told me and everything he is saying, they are just so different. I would have called him a liar, but there is no denying the emotions on his face, it's so true. It hurts him to think about it, and it hurts me to think that everyone has been so wrong about him, he has been trying to save us all along and we all hated him, I can't believe that I had wanted to even kill him. I wonder what would have happened to us if I had succeeded, what if I have killeg the only person that is brave enough to stand up for us. He told me how he tried to get all the Alphas to help him, but some were too scared to defy the Lycan king while the others were not ready to accept the truth, they were even some that were ir support of King Ashford, they believe that if they stand solidly behind him, they would be spared by him.

“They have no idea what he is capable of. He is just too heartless, he would never spare anyone, not one person. I'm the onl one that stands in the way of our annihilation. Once he succeeds in getting me out of the way, there is nothing that would stop him from killing every single one of us, wiping us off” He let out sternly.

“What about the packs you pillaged, all the people you killed, my family, my pack?” I asked him softly.

“I was coming to that” He responded with a calm face that conceals all emotions.

“I never killed anyone who isn't a threat or a danger. I never tried to dispel the fear from everyone, I knew the rumors that were being spread but I didn't do anything to stop it either. I let them fear me because that is exactly what I wanted, but I never killed innocent people, Beth, I would never do that. When I found out that the Alphas were being bought by King Ashford, I decided to put them far from him. First, I tried warning them to stop but they wouldn't listen to me. I told them what was going on and I tried getting them to see that I am not the enemy, but they wouldn't listen, some even threatened t come after me. I knew that if king Ashford gets all the Alphas to his side, he would use them to kill me, then after getting rid of me, he would kill them all. I wanted to save their lives and at the same time, I wanted to save our race. That is why I raide the packs and moved all the Alphas to a secure location. I am not a monster, I don't...

“Wait a minute, are you saying that you moved all the Alphas to a secure location, like all the Alphas, I mean all the Alphas?” Iasked him in shock. He scoffed at my question, looking at me with a sad smile on his face, looking into my eyes as if he was searching my soul.

“Yes, Bethany. Your Father is there as well, and so are your mother and your sister.” He muttered softly, answering the question that I have in my mind but couldn't ask. I was looking at him but I still couldn't understand what was going on, I mean, what is he even saying. How is that even possible, I was there, wasn't I, I heard the cries and screams, I heard the cries of the innocent and I felt the fear in everyone. How is that even possible, why didn't I feel it all these years, why was I even kept in the dark, why didn't he tell me anything, why, why, why?

That's all I have, only whys. The bed suddenly became so hot for me that I couldn't sit anymore. I stood up and started pacing the room as my brain swirled with different thoughts. I don't even know what I'm thinking, I don't know how to react to this news. I could only hold my head and pace the room frustratedly. Within minutes, I got tired of pacing and I perched on the edge of the bed, looking at him like a f****g lunatic. He did not try to stop me, he just sat there and watched me as I paced the room crazily while trying to understand everything he just told me, I don't know what to make out of all this, I don't know what to do, I don't even know if I'm ready to meet with my family right now, how do I look them in the eyes and tell them that I'm now dating the very guy that turned our lives upside down, how do I tell them that I'm not only dating hi I'm now mated to him. Gosh, this is so confusing and frustrating, I had many questions to ask him right now, I want to know everything about them and how they've been faring. But the only question that came to my mind right now is,

“All this while we've been together, why didn’t you tell me about them, Why were you hiding It from me, Dom, why?"
