Chapter 10:
I was already fed up with myself.
I rolled my eyes, giving him a pensive look as he raised his hands in surrender.
He knew how much I hated being reminded of my problem. I didn’t need his pity. I didn’t need anyone’s pity. Pity meant weakness, and I was not weak.
I could handle anything. I was the Alpha King.
“Have you been eavesdropping?” I asked, waving away his questions.
“I couldn’t leave you with them, plus I couldn’t help but give in to the urge to see how you would kill that one,” he sighed, pointing at the man who had been ripped in two. “How do you even come up with such creative ways to kill?”
“Watch and learn,” I replied, looking away from him.
I couldn’t deny that the bastard’s words had gotten to me. My insides were seething with rage, and my hands trembled. Fuck!
I quickly shoved my hands into my pockets to keep my Beta from noticing. I didn’t want another round of lectures and sympathy.
Silence stretched between us, and my breathing became more erratic. I couldn’t stay around him—my body language would give me away.
I needed a distraction.
“Give me a minute,” I said sharply, walking away immediately, leaving him no room for questions.
I had a terrible temper, and I hated it when I lost control. I couldn’t go to the Diamond Heart pack like this—I could kill them all.
Why did he have to bring this up, knowing how much I hated being reminded of my past and how I failed my family?

I knew he did it to mock me, to remind me that I was weak.
But I would prove him wrong.
I needed to relieve myself of this burden right now. Anxiety filled me as my legs carried me toward Rosa’s chamber. Rosa would do.
Rosa was my mistress. She was the only one who could relieve me and accept me the way I was. After the death of my Luna, Rosa was the only woman I had left. She pleased me in ways no other woman could, and she understood my desires and limitations.
Without knocking, I flung her door open, bursting into her room and flooding it with my terrifying aura. I didn’t need to look at the maids before they scurried away like frightened rats.
“Strip!” I commanded, leaving no room for hesitation.

“My King!” Rosa bowed briefly, pausing in what she was doing before casting me a questioning glance.
I could sense her surprise. My arrival had thrown her off balance, evident from the look she gave me.
Was she expecting someone else? She dared not!
I felt a surge of anger at the thought of her seeing anyone other than me.
