The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 230: RUIN ME

Chapter 230: RUIN ME

Past midnight and after offering prayers to the Moon Goddess, the party had turned a little bit wild, where the commoner unmated women could be seen roaming around to find a member of the royal family or any men with prestigious status to spend the night with.

This was their chance to raise their status to be one of their women and live inside the palace, or have financial support if they liked them enough to keep visiting them. It would be great if they could become a mistress and give birth to a son.

Those mistresses, who could give birth to a son, would have an easy life.

Meanwhile, all their women would retreat back to their own palaces or homes and continue to party there. Without their men’s permission, they were not allowed to step out and expose themselves.

Some women, who were daring enough, would sneak their own men into their bedrooms, since they knew their mates wouldn’t return until morning or noon.

If they were lucky, they would be able to get out of this little rebellion unscathed, but if they were not, they would be killed along with the men.

Currently Della had turned down the King’s wish to have her in the other room with his new women. She was sick to see him with countless women and his habit of making her watch him having intercourse with them was beyond nauseating for her.

"You hurt my hips, I need to rest because this is so painful," Della said sternly. She looked King Aeon in the eyes, as the King’s warriors turned their heads away, giving them space to have this argument.

Aeon was already in a bad mood and this was the second time he was being rejected, thus out of rage, he raised his hand and slapped Della across her face, so hard, she stumbled on the cold floor, as blood dripped from her split lips.

Della saw this coming, but she was so stubborn about not being around him and watching his depraved sexual acts with those young women half his age!

Gritting her teeth, Della didn’t let out any whimper, despite the pain overwhelming her senses. Her whole body was trembling, not because she was scared of the King’s wrath, but because it was hard to contain her own wrath for the way he treated her.

"Keep this attitude and I will have your head one day!" Aeon barked at her. If it was not for her strong family backing her, he would have gotten rid of her long ago, because recently she had been acting so haughty and denied him so often. "Call Cyan! I want her here now!"

Cyan was the first mistress, she hailed from the Andelus continent and was the mother of the Crown Prince, Alan.

If it was not for the fact that Aeon enjoyed Cyan’s company more, he would have surely dragged Della toward the bedroom and forced her to watch him being intimate with his new women for two days straight! Because he knew how much she hated it.

One of the King warriors immediately left to call the mistress over, who had retreated to her own chamber.

Della pushed herself from the hard and cold ground before dusting off her dress. She lifted her head with dignity and then turned around, not even sparing a furtive glance toward the King, as if it disgusted her to look at him for a mere second longer.

Della could feel the animosity emanating from the King and felt his hot gaze on her back, but she didn’t stop walking until she reached her chambers and dismissed all of her ladies; she wanted to be alone.

Once it was only her and felt how quiet this room was, she collapsed on the bed and cried. She didn’t know why she cried. Was it because of the pain on her hip? Or because of the stinging slap? Or was it because she felt so pathetic and sorry for herself to live a life like this? She felt like trash!

She hated being here, she hated the tradition, where men could do whatever they wanted, while women needed to be at their beck and call.

Della balled her fists tightly, as she screamed into the pillow, which muffled the sound, but she stopped abruptly when she heard a soft noise coming from the window before a certain scent hit her so hard.

She immediately sat down and got off the bed. She walked toward the window with her heart thumping painfully hard in her ears. She was scared of the possibility.

But, her fears were proven true when she saw how Aderan sneaked into the room. She felt like someone just poured a bucket of cold water on her. It was so brazen for him to sneak into her bedroom when the King’s guards were on standby right behind the door!

"What are you doing here?!" Della hissed anxiously to see how Aderan entered the room, she went to the window and drew the curtains as fast as she could when she was sure no one had witnessed this. "Are you out of your mind?! Are you crazy!?"

Della couldn’t raise her voice, though she really wanted to scream at him. If someone saw this and snitched on her to the King, the consequences would be so dire, not only for her, but also for Aderan and the whole Howling Wolf pack.

Not to mention the problem with Ethan had yet to meet with any conclusion and Cane was still trying to find a better way to get a good bargain with the King for his gamma’s life.

Visiting the Queen in her own chamber would only make Aderan lose his head without any questions asked.

Cane wouldn’t have enough ammo in his hand to save him and the aftermath would only put the Alpha in the worst place.

Aderan knew that, but he couldn’t stop himself from coming here and meeting her in person. Since he arrived, he only could see her from afar and the sight of the king kissing her forcefully in the balcony at midnight boiled his blood. He really wanted to pry the King’s hands away from her and skin him alive for kissing her.

"You must go from here before someone sees you!" Della started panicking, but Aderan hugged her and kissed her gently to make her stop blurting out unnecessary words. He already knew all the consequences and he came here bearing the knowledge his life was on the line.

Della wanted to push him away, but she couldn’t lie to herself that he was the only person that she wanted. He was the only person that she wished she could be with right now. She felt so safe and right in his arms. And his kiss erased all the pain that Aeon had caused.

Her heart was in the right place whenever she was with him.

It didn’t take so long before she gave up and kissed him back. She wished the time would stop and she could be with him forever. She would give up everything to be with him, her title as a queen brought her nothing, but misery.

"Take me... take me away from here..." Della whimpered, as tears streamed down her cheeks. The painful thought that this moment wouldn’t last forever when she only wanted to live in this moment with her mate suffocated her. She had enough, she couldn’t care less about anything else. "Take me away from this hell, please... I don’t think I can live another day."

Aderan broke the kiss between them and looked at her intensely, he caressed her cheeks and wiped away her tears, but she couldn’t stop crying, her tears wouldn’t stop streaming down. She was at the end of her rope and in this dark tunnel, the only light that she could see was him.

"Take me away, Aderan. I will follow you, wherever you go. Take me away from this hell..." Della cried even harder, as her whole body started trembling.

Her split lip because of the slap had healed, but Aderan still could see the stain of blood on her chin. He licked her blood and kissed her neck, but he didn’t answer her plea.

"Aderan, please... I think I am going to die if I have to live another day here..." She implored him. This was an impulsive plea, as she was not thinking straight right now. Her thoughts and emotions were all over the place.

"I can’t, my love... I can’t take you away from here..." Aderan said in a defeated tone. He looked at her apologetically.

If Della was sane enough, she would realise. Both of them knew how impossible it was for them to be together and run away somewhere within the King’s territory to hide. There was no place on this continent that was safe for them.

Della fell to her knees, as she covered her mouth with her hand, so she wouldn’t attract any attention from the guards outside with her wails.

"I am sorry, I am sorry for not being strong enough to protect you. I am sorry for not being able to do anything right for you..." Aderan hugged her so tight, he could feel her pain and his own pain. He cursed at their situation. How could they be destined mates when they couldn’t even be together in the end?

But, Della suddenly stopped crying, she slightly pushed Aderan away from her, her beautiful black eyes were filled with determination when she undressed herself and it surprised Aderan when she stood stark naked in front of him.

"Ruin me," Della said sternly. "I want you to ruin me. I want you." If she had to die for this, so be it.
