Chapter 296: Dilbar’s plan in action

THIRD PERSON’S POV

"Are you okay?" Maverick asked Valencia when he saw sweat beads on her forehead.

The girl, frowning earlier because she felt a sudden jolt of heat and dizziness together, smiled at Maverick forcefully before nodding.

"I think the events got to me and nothing else. Then, I ate spicy food to satisfy my taste buds. It would be better to rest a little in the room. Is that okay with you?" Valencia asked.

Though she was feeling hot and dizzy, barely keeping her focus, she knew these were the symptoms of her going into the heat phase. Thus, there was nothing to worry about.

Maverick asked Shadow to drop her off at her room, and the man immediately followed the girl.

"Do you want me to guard the door for you, Luna?" Shadow asked as they turned around the corner.

Valencia smiled at the man before shaking her head.

"That won’t be needed, Shadow. I will lock the door from the inside. Besides, no one would dare to do anything with so many alphas and Luna downstairs. Your alpha needs your assistance," She reasoned.

"You can leave now. The room is right across us," Valencia said.

The man gave her one last helpless look, knowing she wouldn’t let him guard either way. Thus, he nodded and left.

As soon as Shadow left, Valencia dropped her facade and breathed heavily.

She rushed to her room to use the restroom as her frustration and uneasiness increased. The pain in her stomach suddenly rose, and she thought it was all because of the spicy food.

If she had told Maverick she was suffering from a stomach ache, he would’ve surely scolded her, knowing how little she cares about her eating habits.

She fumbled with the lock of the room, her movements sleazy as she tried to push the door.

What she didn’t know was that someone started following her the moment she left the hall.

As soon as she pushed the door open and turned around to lock it, she felt a heavy push, and before she could realize it, someone threw her on the bed.

Her vision was blurred for some unknown reasons.

She groaned as the movement made her world swirl before her eyes.

"What the–?" She started, but no coherent words came out of her mouth.

Her body started to lose its power as she struggled hard against the hold of the man who suddenly pounced on her.

"I have been eyeing you for a long time. It’s a good thing the royals wanted to do something to you. Now I will enjoy this night with you and make you mine," the man said, his words incomprehensible to her as the only thing she heard was a thick mumbling.

"Let me go," She tried to break free as the man pinned her hands over her head.

"Let you go? How can I let you go when this is what I have been dreaming for so long?" The man said.

Tears rolled down the corner of Valencia’s eyes.

She knew what was happening to her was wrong. The touch of the man’s hand on her chest was an indication of where this was leading, and the urge to cry out loud and scream for help took over her.

However, no matter how hard she tried, it was almost like someone drained her completely.

The more she tried to break free from the grip, the more powerless she became.

Feeling the man’s hand on her bare thighs as he lifted her gown, her body froze, and took deep breaths in fear.

’No. No. No,’ She couldn’t allow something like this to happen.

Valencia shook her head internally as her eyelids felt heavy and droopy.

"Maverick," She whispered helplessly, her hand hitting the side of the bed, connecting with a sharp object that immediately sliced through her hand.

It was probably her dagger.

With all the courage and energy she could muster, she grabbed the dagger, deliberately letting it pierce her skin and making her bleed to keep herself sane.

"Let me go, or I’ll kill you," Valencia forced her eyes open.

Though she couldn’t see who the man was, she knew she met him somewhere.

"You want to fight me? Do you think you can?" The man mocked her as she crawled up, shutting her legs close and pulling her skirt down to hide herself.

Her hands that were pointing the dagger at him trembled.

"Don’t you dare —" She gasped when the man lunged at her and clenched her first around the dagger, making the sharp blade cut through her hand even more.

"Aa!" Valencia finally let out a scream.

At the same time, Maverick, who had been attending the meeting and talking to a couple of alphas, furrowed his brows when his gaze met Dilbar, who had a smirk on her face.

As if caught in the act, she immediately smiled at him sweetly and made her way towards him.

"Alpha Maverick, I am sorry for the inconvenience earlier. Where is Miss Valencia? I would like to apologize to her. It was our incompetency that risked her safety," Dilbar said.

Maverick didn’t want to talk to her. Even though the guard said he acted independently, he didn’t want to believe it for some reason, not to mention the cameras they found in their room.

Something fishy was happening with the royals, putting everyone under equal suspicion.

"It’s okay, Miss Dilbar. My wife is thoughtful and quite easy going. She didn’t mind it. Things like this happen all the time. She knows how to get through such little troubles," Maverick said.

Dilbar nodded, her eyes flashing with an evil glint that quickly disappeared.

"Oh, does she?" She asked.

"Hm?" Maverick looked at her with narrowed brows, and she faked a smile again.

"I mean, I am sure she does. Probably that is the reason you fell in love with her," Dilbar said, placing her hand on his biceps as if she were making some kind of joke.

Alpha Maverick looked at the girl’s hand on his biceps and his gaze turned cold.

Reaper stood from his place, feeling provoked. He didn’t like any other woman touching them.

"Please remove your hand," Maverick said, trying to be courteous.

Dilbar froze in her place for a second before pressing her lips bitterly.

"I am sorry, but my woman won’t appreciate another female’s scent on me," Maverick said.

Dilbar hummed.

And what about you, Alpha Maverick? Will you appreciate another male’s scent on your so-called woman? Let’s see how you will react when you find her naked body under another man, being rammed by him as he leaves his semen on her chest to glare right in your face. Dilbar smirked at the thought of the shock Maverick would go through.

She didn’t want to go this far, but sometimes, to get what you want, you have to act tough and take some major steps. After all, victory is only for the toughest and smartest people.

Besides, Maverick was at fault, too, for liking a girl like Valencia. So what was going to happen to the girl today was all because this stupid alpha wasn’t thoughtful enough to accept a royal’s proposal and went for a rogue like that instead. Someone had to pay for the sins either way. Dilbar thought.

She snapped out of her thoughts, realizing the man had long walked away from her.

A scoff left her mouth.

’Till when you will run away from me, Alpha Maverick? You will end up in my arms sooner or later because I always get what I want, and you won’t be an exception. Now, just enjoy this night because you will remember this for a very long time,’ Dilbar smiled, taking a sip of her champagne.

As she turned around, her gaze met with Dylan, who was already looking at her.

She paused. This wasn’t the first time she caught the man looking at her, which unnerved her. It wasn’t the kind of gaze that meant infatuation. He looked at her as if he knew something as if he knew she was planning something.

She raised her champagne glass to the man briefly before turning around to leave, the train of her gown sliding across the floor.

"Princess Dilbar, it’s an honor to meet you," Matilda whispered.

Dilbar stopped in her tracks and looked at Luna with a fake smile.

"I am sorry, I don’t remember your name. Can you–?" Dilbar started, but her words were caught off when Matilda stepped forward until she was nose to nose with Dilbar.

"That’s a pity. As the princess of the kingdom and being so witty, you should know the enemies of your enemy. I mean, after what you have been planning for the night, I thought you researched a bit and knew who I was,"Matilda said.

Her words made Dilbar freeze in her place.

"What do you mean?" Dilbar asked.

Matilda smirked at the woman before licking her bottom lip.

"I know what you are doing," She said, her eyes flashing evilly.

Dilbar gulped.

"I don’t know what you are–" Dilbar started but stopped talking when she suddenly saw Alpha Maverick running out of the hall using his alpha speed.

"Oops, it looks like he found out too," Matilda smiled.
