Chapter 17
Danna and Maya entered the dungeons together. They descended the stairs. When they arrived at Gin’s cell, a guard who was there greeted him politely.
“Your majesty, I am at your service.
“Please leave us alone, I’m here to punish the she-wolf who tried to harm the princess,” Danna spoke authoritatively.
“As you command, your majesty,” the man strode out of the room.
Danna turned to Maya and said, stay out here, I’ll just go in, Maya nodded in as she watched her friend sink into the depressing cell.
“Whoa, whoa, look who we have here, the brave maid who dared to try to hurt my daughter. Did you think you could mess with my puppy and I’d sit idly by? He asked calmly.
Gin was sitting on a small cement bed and jumped up when she heard Danna’s voice. A cold sweat ran down her body as she saw those black eyes piercing her. Mentally, he whispered, “What is she doing here? I thought the alpha would be the one to punish me. Lamia didn’t speak for me to the alpha.”
“Your Majesty, please don’t hurt me. I didn’t want to hurt his daughter. I just wanted to see if I was okay. She should punish the one who left her alone on the edge of a pond. How do you think I could harm a queen’s daughter? Gin said desperately. He had to pray until his last breath for his life.
Danna laughed. I couldn’t believe how brazen that woman was.
“Am I your majesty now?” What a hypocrite you are! Where is the haughty Gin I met five years ago, the one who did everything Lamia asked of her? Unless what you were going to do was on the orders of your friend Lamia. Tell me, did she ask you to hurt my puppy? Danna spoke coldly. Gin, I want you to know that these will be your last minutes alive. Because I’m not your alpha, I won’t forgive you.
Gin opened her eyes, surprised. He took a few steps back, sticking to the wall. He let out an agonized sigh; Even if he had to die, he couldn’t tell the truth. She fell silent, petrified.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
So that you can see that I am benevolent, I will give you the opportunity to fight like wolves. Let’s see if your she-wolf saves your life,” Danna said with a sinister smile.
Gin heaved a sigh of hope. He muttered mentally, “She is an omega, and her she-wolf must be Fena’s size. I just have to fight. It won’t go beyond a few scratches and I’ll save myself from death,” he raised his head and asked, his voice trembling but determined.
“If I resist the fight with your she-wolf, will you spare my life?”
Danna put a smile on her face and replied sarcastically.
“Yes, if you beat my she-wolf, I’ll get you out of these dungeons and set you free.” Otherwise, you’ll come out in black bags.
“Well, I agree, Fena will resist the fight.
“Let’s get started,” She handed control to Hede, a large she-wolf with silver sparkles appeared letting out a fierce growl.
Gin was startled with fear and began to tremble, he didn’t expect to meet a she-wolf of that size. At that moment, he knew he was never going to see the light of day again. Her she-wolf Fena emerged terrified and tried to defend herself, Hede attacked furiously, leaving her injured after several bites. Hede then relinquished control to Danna, who upon seeing the injured she-wolf return to her human form. He took advantage and absolved her, leaving Gin in agony with a deep wound in his neck. Danna came out of the cell and Maya approached her and without looking back they left there.
“Order Gin out of here and thrown off a cliff.” Those who want to harm the princess and queen have no right to remain in these lands,” he said as he left the place.
Lamia arrived at the house where her grandfather was. When she saw Fabricio, she threw herself into his arms to cry. The old man wrapped his arms around her, caressing her hair tenderly.
“My adored granddaughter, what do you have?” Who dared to make you cry?
“Grandpa, ever since the arrogant omega arrived, Eurides has kept me restrained in the mansion. He doesn’t allow me to eat with them and Eros doesn’t defend me, on the contrary, he has ignored me. Besides, he threatened me today. She said that if I didn’t want anything bad to happen to me, I should stay away from that omega and her daughter. I tried to advocate for Gin, but he wouldn’t listen to me. He’d rather put his people in danger to be okay with that omega,” Lamia sobbed, letting out a few tears of sadness. Gin had been with her since she was a child, always together in their antics. So, when he moved into the mansion, he took her with him as part of the service staff. You know what Gin means to us. Grandpa, as a member of the wolf council, you have to make yourself heard. You need to get rid of that omega who pretends to be a queen.
Fabricio clenched his fists in frustration. With Orpheus, it had been difficult to get him to consider the words of the wolf council in decision-making for packs. Eurides, due to her high lineage, could not displace her from her position as a moon, as she had the backing of the ruling alphas of other packs. Eros, who had been absent from the management of the pack due to his life abroad, was forced to return after his father’s death to take over, becoming more susceptible and the council took the opportunity to manipulate him. But now, the alpha barely considered the council’s decisions. Fabrizio heaved a great sigh, aware that the other members of the council were also unwilling to challenge the queen. In fact, many of them seemed content with the changes in nature, which further complicated the situation.
“My love, let me talk to the other members of the council. They’ve already told me that they’re not going to go against the queen and that they don’t want to have Eros as an enemy for defending you.” He paused and turned his sorrowful gaze to his granddaughter before continuing. They are considering no longer supporting you. If Eros doesn’t want you like the moon, they breathe their decision. I always advised you to earn the respect of Eurides, because I knew that she would be key to conquering the love of Eros.
“Grandpa, I’ve tried to win the affection of Eurides and the love of the alpha, but it’s not my fault that this omega uses witchcraft to deceive people. Or how do you explain that he dominates wild beasts? He said arrogantly and haughtily.
“You’re right, you’re not to blame. I’ve found out about her. In his veins runs the pure blood of the fairy queen. For my part, I will look for a way to convince those stubborn elders to support us in getting that she-wolf off our lands. But it won’t be easy, our people are supporting the Queen. “I’ll talk to Eros personally,” his grandfather said, with sadness in his eyes. He was the longest-serving elder on the council and used to make most of the decisions for the other elders.
Lamia pulled away from her grandfather and gritted her teeth, throwing a tantrum with her feet.
“I can’t believe those old men are so stupid. Where is the power they have because they are the old wolves of high lineage in their packs? How are they afraid of an omega who uses black magic to deceive people? Grandpa, I’ll find a way to destroy that omega. She shouted as she turned her back on the old man and stormed out.
