The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Everything happened so fast, beyond my reasoning. I was doing things I didn’t plan to do and was even making a stance for

fight with Selene, whom I knew I was no match for.

“I didn’t plan to kill you. I was ready to forgive you and give you a second chance, but I can see your words weren’t sincere. You are actually a toy to the demons and would rather die than repent.” I heard her say, her voice ringing continuously in my head.

My mouth opened to tell her I wasn’t doing this with my own intentions. I wanted her to know I was being controlled by something greater than me, but the ability to control what to say was gone. It was as if I wasn’t the owner of my mouth and every word that came out of it.

Fear shook me-great fear that made my heart pound so hard that I thought it would break out of my ribcage. Even Lucian, who had sympathy for me earlier, had gone berserk, seeing that I was only pretending to be sorry for my crime.

I thought they would find out there was a heart demon in me, taking control of my actions, but they didn’t. They all believed I was the one. My mind flashed back to Diana and her warning when I told her I would expose her. She didn’t fret, nor did she try to stop me. The way she acted should have given me a hint that she had plans for me already.

My lips shivered as I felt the heaviness of my heart. The urge to cry was bubbling in me but couldn’t come out. I couldn’t cry. My expression was still cold, making me look adamant and unrepentant.

“Do you think I care about your second chance or forgiveness? B i t c h, killing me won’t be an escape from what is coming to you. I will die with happiness, knowing that soon enough you will join me in the land of the dead. Very soon, you will get destroyed in a way you never imagined.” I spoke loud and h o a r s e l y, laughing hysterically.

Doing all these while my heart bleeds and my inner self cries out of help. All my efforts to take back control over myself were totally useless. That fog that vanished inside me had taken over my senses. This was Diana’s plan all along, just to make sure I got killed without spilling any secrets.

“Guards, behead this b a s t a r d for calling my mate a b i t c h! How dare you?!!?”Lucian roared aggressively, but before the men. could swing into action. Selene raised her hand to put them to a stop.

“Don’t touch him.” She said this as she squinted her eyes at my face, studying my eyes with scrutiny.

“Why are you sparing me? Do you still believe I will work with you if you spare my life? You must be very dumb!” I spat laughed like a clown again, but she was unmoved. Lucian was burning in rage as he stepped down and walked up to her.

“What are you waiting for? It’s so obvious we can’t keep this b a s t a r d. I want him dead, and I don’t mind doing it myself. After all he did to you, he still has the guts to taunt and play with us like we are fools!” he growled as he leaned forward, speaking to Selene in a coaxing tone.

His patience seemed to be running out.

“He desperately wants to die suddenly after pleading and asking for a second chance. It doesn’t look right. Something is definitely amiss, and we can’t fall into the trap.” She said this as she peered into my eyes. “His eyes look weirdly darker, like there is fog in-them. Something is speaking through him.”

A seep of hope crept into me, relief and joy boiling into my soul as I shouted in joy inside me since I couldn’t even show my excitement on my face.

“What are you saying, b i t c h?!” I yelled, founding really aggressive.

“I will bring you out of him and crush you beneath my feet. You hide your scent and take his form, making it hard to be fished out, but I’m smart enough to know this isn’t the real Stan. He might be a d i c k h e a d, but he doesn’t talk too much, like you make him do. That makes it all suspicious, and now I have confirmed you are with him.” Selene said, looking deep into my eyes, and I could feel her gaze inside my soul.

She was really talking to whatever demon had entered me.

“I will kill you!” The demon spoke through me again, and this time he ne strike at her, my nails cutting through her neck. An irresistible attack I made under this spell, under this unseen force of the demon that had forced itself inside me.

Since he couldn’t get Selene to kill me with his triggering words, he decided to attack her physically

As she backed away, holding her bleeding neck, I was pushed to fight her more, but just then, Lucian pounced on me, sweeping me off of my feet and sitting on my stomach while he threw punches in my face. “I will punch the demons out of you; maybe that’s the best way to get you into your right senses!!” Ile growled, with those blows breaking both my nose bone and cheek bone. My lips are swollen and bleeding, yet he won’t stop.

Selene rushed at him and pulled him away from me.

“If you kill him, we will never be able to know where Diana is or what her plans are. We might have all the powers in the world, but Diana still has the upper hand because we have no idea where she is at now or what evil scheme she is setting up. She is way smarter, even with her lesser powers, she can still find a way to bring us down!”

“F u c k you!” I seethed, and she turned to me with a smirk.

“It’s time to deal with you and not him!” She said, and in a blink, I was carried up off the ground, right to her shoulder. She darted out of the room and headed to the ritual room.

My body began to shake vigorously; every single part was hitting against each other, and I felt like I would die.

“You can’t leave now. It’s too late.” She whispered, and I realized it was the demon trying to fight it away now that it found out the plan didn’t go as planned.

Just as we got into the room, she sat me down and blew something into my face. I became unconscious immediately.

Waking up after hours. I found myself in a room chained on both hands and legs to the edges of the bed, dressed up.

“Diana, I will make sure you pay for all your crimes.” I said and exhaled in relief at the realization that I had regained my full self and could now speak out what I had in mind without being controlled

Selene really exorcised the demon away from me, but then I tried to remember anything about Diana since the day she took us to the cave and couldn’t remember anything reasonable. Not the location of the cave, or whatever discussion we had shared.

Just then, the door opened, and Lucian and Selene walked in. I sat up and groaned at the pain heating up my face. Lucian really hit me hard.

“Don’t waste anytime. Tell us everything. Everything that will help us find and kill Diana.” Lucian was the first to speak.

I began to rack my brain again and again, trying to fish out that memory, but nothing was registering in my head. I could only remember Diana as the woman I went to on the night Lucian and Selene first met and stayed in that hotel. Everything else was hazy and unclear.

Does it mean I would be killed since my life is worth nothing now that I can’t even help?

“Are you deaf or dumb?” Selene frowned, and I took a deep breath, looking down to the floor.

“I can’t remember

“F u c k! What is now the essence, for goodness sake? I told you it’s entirely useless! This guy is useless and is better dead than alive. You trusted him, and here it is. After all the suffering to keep him alive and free, we got an empty skull who can’t remember the information that was his only reason to be given a second chance.”Lucian barked, giving me a really deadly look.

“I will think. I will

“You will think what you betrayal! Are you actually playing with our heads? We look like s t u p i d people to you, huh?” He snarled, talking close with his teeth bare and palms clenched on both sides.

“You have memory loss. I think the demon died but succeeded in takiay those memories. That must be what Diana ordered. I know she is that smart to make plans B to save herself if her initial plans fail. Selene hissed and sat on the couch

there.

“Okay, so the next step is to kill this s o n o f a b i t c h. He has no reason to be alive now.”

“No, he has many reasons to be alive and will be of help to us. Remember, Diana doesn’t know the demon is out of him because we didn’t drive it out but suppressed it to death inside him. We can create our own heart demon and give it a clear resemblance to hers, then use him for our gain.” She suggested.

“Oh, that sounds really great. But I have no idea how to create a heart demon.”

“It takes a long time. We just have to set the blocks and fence on the border higher and protected with more powerful restraints to avoid any sudden attack, then we can go on with our normal lives while I carefully and gradually create the heart demon.”
