Chapter 154: Ralph’s threat to Venus

Venus was seated in the garden of her house, alone, in the middle of the night. She was unable to sleep and thought about staying under the night sky for a while. During the day when she went with her mother to the market, she heard two women talking about her.

"What a shameless child! How can she come with her face straight to the market?"

These sentences were repeated in her head continuously, becoming the reason for her distress.

As Venus stood up from her place, she felt the presence of someone around her. Turning her eyes around, Venus found none. She was a bit scared and ran toward the house in fear. Her feet stopped to see a figure resting against one of the porch’s pillars.

Venus slowly lifted her head, she forgot to breathe and she stopped blinking. In front of standing an alpha, whom she knew after Eugene introduced her to him.

"What are you doing here, Ralph?" Venus asked. She felt her throat getting drier.

"You are pardoned, Venus. I have not expected this," Ralph said as he approached her with gradual steps. She gulped, fearing what he would do. Eugene had told her that Ralph was quite powerful among the ten alphas.

"Yo-you cannot enter my home at such an hour," Venus said while stuttering. She clutched her gown tightly, fearing that Ralph could harm her.

"Then, let’s have a meeting tomorrow. I would like to see your sister," Ralph stated, halting at his place.

"My sister? Why?" Venus furrowed her brows together.

"Just deliver her my message, Venus," Ralph affirmed.

"Why don’t you go to the palace for this task? I-I cannot bring my sister to a random meeting with a werewolf," Venus asserted. Though she was trembling from the inside, she made sure to threaten Ralph with Magnus’s name. "Prince Magnus if found out that you desired to see my sister, he would punish you."

Ralph smiled to hear her. In the blink of an eye, she found Ralph in front of her. He lifted Venus’s chin with force and said, "Do you think that the werewolves have forgiven you and your family? What you did to our kind is punishable. Your task is to bring Alora to the same table as me. If you fail, you’ll lose someone dear to you," he whispered in her ear. "Make sure Prince Magnus stays out of this," he let go of her chin and she immediately took several steps back.

Venus’s eyes brimmed with tears. She could not betray Alora in any state this time. "I refuse to do so. Why should I hear a werewolf?" she glared at him as she clenched her fists.

"I think you’ve impaired your hearing, Venus," Ralph stated. "You will lose a person close to you if you fail," he repeated his previous words.

Venus chuckled, which bewildered Ralph. No one ever reacted in front of him like this.

"Your fear that Prince Magnus will give you the same fate as Eugene got. That’s why you came at this hour to threaten me. You know well that if anyone in this family gets even a single bruise, Alora will make sure to punish you. If you wish to see my sister, Princess Alora, then go to the palace," Venus pronounced. She walked past him, still carrying the fear, but not letting it be shown on her face.

"Venus, if your brother or father or mother dies, then don’t blame me for it. You think I’ll keep you alive after what kind of trouble you brought to us werewolves? So, make sure to do what I’ve asked you to. Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be here to see your sister," Ralph stated sternly.

As Venus turned around, she found Ralph wasn’t present there. He had disappeared in thin air. Tears streamed down her cheeks and her heart raced in a strange fear.

"I cannot do that," Venus murmured.

She was unable to understand whom she should share about this.

"I will inform Prince Magnus about it," Odin’s voice fell into her ears. Venus was shocked to see Odin appearing from the shadows.

"At this hour?" Venus asked.

Odin turned on his heels to face her. "I cannot believe you are such a troublemaker, Miss Venus," he remarked.

"But I-I didn’t d-do anything this time," Venus said as more tears escaped her eyes.

"It’s hard to believe if your tears are real or fake," Odin murmured. "Go inside and don’t come out," he stated. As he turned to go to the palace, Venus held his sleeve, making him tilt his head over his shoulder.

Venus quickly let go of his sleeve. "Ralph said he would k-kill..." She was unable to speak because she was terrified.

"Ralph won’t harm any of you. Go inside and sleep peacefully," Odin stated.

When Venus didn’t budge from her place, Odin grabbed her arm and dragged her to the door. He pushed her inside the mansion and closed the door from outside.

"Such a bothersome human!" Odin rolled his eyes and left for the palace.

Venus slowly went to her room and closed the door from inside. She went to the bed and lay down. However, she couldn’t get sleep. Ralph’s threat had scared her. But what she couldn’t understand was why Odin was present in their house.

Odin arrived at the palace and went straight to the room, where Tobias would usually be found. Fortunately, Tobias hadn’t gone to bed as he was busy ending his tasks.

"May I come in, Tobias?" Odin asked from the door.

"Of course!" Tobias lifted his head from the document in his hand. "What is it?" he inquired.

"A werewolf wishes to see Princess Alora," Odin informed him.

"What?" Tobias exclaimed in confusion.

Odin then explained to him in brief. "The werewolves aren’t happy with Venus. Ralph didn’t tell her the purpose, but he mentioned to Venus not to let Prince Magnus find out about it. If Princess Alora doesn’t go there tomorrow, Ralph may harm any of their family members."
