AXEL P.O.V

Damian and Derek are taking lots of time to go to the mountaintop and I was getting restless and sleepy but I don't want to go to bed until they come back.


My office door opened without a knock and I was about to growl at the intruder when I saw it was the men I was waiting for.


'Good evening, Alpha. You sent for us." Their leader Grayson said on their behalf and the two others bowed to me as a sign of respect.


"Yes. Send some of your men into the pack and tell them that whosoever finds Vanessa will get a large sum of money and the opportunity to stay in the palace a week as the grand prize," I said, looking at them to see their reactions.

They looked at themselves and smiled, yes they were interested which means I would find my Vanessa soonest.


'Your words would be passed across your highnesses. Please on behalf of me and my men can I ask something?"


"Yes, go on, ask whatever you want to ask. I'm all ears."

"Can me and my soldiers join in the search, some of us will like some extra money," he asked, with his face faced down.


'Yes. And it would be better if you and your men get involved in the search because y'all will make the search end faster by finding your future Luna. And lest I forget I don't want to see a scratch on her body caused by any form of violence from anyone in the pack on the bit to bring her back," I warned, growling to establish my stand.

'Yes, your highness. Thank you," They chorused. I waved them off and they left immediately.

Damian and Derek walked almost immediately after Grayson and his men left to carry out my order. They were looking sad and gloomy, I began to panic inwardly.

'Good evening, Alpha," Damian greeted, but Derek was silent and I wondered what happened.

'We saw Vanessa in a mall when I wanted to get something for Avery, but when we wanted to hold her and explain things to her. She ran and I could see fear, pain, anger and hate already.

She went into a car and she said you should leave her alone. That didn't you do enough by sending her away from the palace and now you want to kill her?

She also said she hated you because of what you did and nothing on earth can stop it, not even death," Damian said, as my heart was getting blocked and I couldn't breathe. Derek noticed and came closer to help me but I waved him away.

"Let me suffer for my sins, did she say all that? Where did she go? Take me there so that I can find her and apologize to her until she takes me back," I said, holding my chest as I got up from my seat staggering.

'No Axel, sit down. You can't use force this time around. You need to coax her and show her you would never hurt her again, and you can only do that if you find her," Derek said, as Damian helped me back onto my chair.

'So what do you think I should do? I need to find her!"

'Thank you for finally asking that, I and Derek felt we should conduct a thorough search in all the houses in the mountains and around it. Because from the way she was dressed I don't think she was living far, and if this would make you better. She misses you, I heard her say it when she entered the car back and started sobbing."

'She does? That means I have a little bit of chance now before it's too late," I said, smiling suddenly and feeling happy and lighter, knowing that she haven't hated me completely

'Axel, are you okay?" Damian asked, looking at me strangely and Derek raised his eyebrows amused.

"Yes. I'm fine," I said, casually, to avoid teasing in the future. They looked at themselves in astonishment.

'So now, take as many men but not too many so that they wouldn't think it's a coup and start panicking falsely. And, don't go with your uniform, some should take the form of a beggar and other common personality," I ordered, standing to my feet as I left for my room.

I was walking down the hall feeling a little better as I heard she was missing me, but her words had already cut multiple slashes in my heart emotionally.

Octavia saw me coming down the hall and she ran back in fear, I knew she had learnt about what I did to Camille. Good of you to think of running before I devour you.

I smiled to myself, heading into the shower immediately to freshen up. I took my bath and came out to see a naked Camille in my bed with her legs wide open for me.

After everything I did to her that night, she still had the nerves to come here for more. It seems like I wasn't rough enough to give her a trauma and I would do just that now.

But I feigned lack of interest to break her confidence. She looked at me surprised but she tucked it away as she ventured close to me grinning like a slut she was.

'I want you to take me like the other time, only this time I want you to be rougher and faster. Breed me your highness." She whispered, kissing my chest.

I couldn't hold myself anymore so I walked closer to her looking down at her as she was trying to touch me down there. I flinged her to the wall and she cried out in pain.

'If you don't take your rotten self out of here, I will make sure your disfigured corpse goes back to your parents. And I'm not even joking." I growled walking close to her and she scampered up and ran out of my room naked. Well, I don't care.
