Betrayed Heiress: My Second Chance Mate is A Lycan King

Aira’s POV

“Well, this is a rather unpleasant visit,” Louis says as Alex and I barge into his office. He drops the documents in his hands and gives us his full attention. “How did you get past my guards?” he demands, and Alex lets out a sarcastic snort.

“For someone who is aiding an enemy of mine, you sure have a weak defense,” Alex says, and Louis feigns a bewildered expression.

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Alex doesn’t give him the chance to finish his statement before slamming his fist on the table. The force of his fist causes a series of cracks to stretch across the table.

Louis takes a deep breath, and his eyelids fall shut. It was clear our presence was already an irritation to him. Now we are damaging his property.

How humorous.

“This table was imported from Germany. You are going to pay for that,” Louis seethes, and I am surprised at how he could keep calm despite his clear anger from our presence.

Alex growls and applies more pressure to his fist. The cracking of wood fills the air, and the damage on the table spreads further.

For a moment, a flash of fear appears in Louis’s eyes when he sees the bloodlust in Alex’s eyes.

That was the thing about Alexander: no matter how powerful you may be, you will; actually, you must cower at Alexander’s rage.

“If anyone is going to pay for anything, it will be you. You have been giving Jared alphas to reign terror all over my kingdom. Stop it. Now.”

Silence.

The tension in the air was suffocating as the two alphas had their mini-stare off. And just like that, Louis throws his head back and lets out an unholy laugh.

“Oh my goodness. You didn’t tell me that you came here to entertain me. Well, you are always welcome, but please, you really could have done this without damaging my table,” Louis says, and his words only angered Alex more.

In a second, Alex has his hand wrapped around Louis’s next. Louis wasted no time in reciprocating Alex’s actions, and the two of them were up in each other’s faces.

Their growls were animalistic and frightening; even though I was not at the receiving end of any of the alpha’s rage, I still had this incredible urge to break down and cry.

“Aira dear, it seems your mate has lost his mind. Do well to call him to order; otherwise, I would be forced to make you witness a gruesome murder,” Louis says to me.

“Cut the crap, Louis. Admit that you are the one supplying Jared with rogues, and we won’t be forced to take extreme measures,” I announce, and his venomous eyes snap to mine.

Subconsciously, I take a step back at the sight of him. The white in his eyes has completely vanished and is now an evil shade of black. His irises were no longer brown but a sharp shade of amber.

It was his wolf, and he was not happy one bit.

“Who the fuck do you think you are looking at?!” Alex snaps when Louis shifts his gaze to me.

Louis returns his attention to the man who has his hand wrapped around his throat, and an annoyed sigh leaves my lips.

“Enough! Both of you!” I snap, but neither of them moves an inch. My eyelids narrow to slits, and I shoot my mate a daring glare.

He sighs and lets go of Louis. It takes the bastard a moment, but he releases Alex as well.

Louis takes a step back and dusts his suit before taking his seat behind his desk.

“Good, now we can speak like civilized people,” I say and shift my gaze to Alex.

“Sit.”

And he does.

Louis raises a brow in surprise but doesn’t say a word. I settle down on the chair next to Alex’s and give Louis my full attention.

He is stroking his chin behind his desk, his eyes fixated on me as they held so much wonder and curiosity. “You said I would force you to take extreme measures. What would that be if I might ask?”

A tight smile stretches my lips as I dip my hand into my purse and search for my phone. “I am glad you asked.”

Once I retrieve the phone, I play the security footage we had gotten from the dome.

Louis pales.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost. A bead of sweat trickles down his temple as he watches the entire video of him making love to his mistress play before his very eyes.

Their moans filled the entire office, and Alex looked as though he would rather be anywhere else than here.

When the video finishes playing, I put my phone back in my purse as Louis ponders over what he just witnessed.

And then I dare to ask, “I wonder how Caitlyn would feel after watching you sleep with the very same woman she was insecure about during your relationship with her. I hear she once burst into tears the day a rumor of you and Isabella being seen together spread. This video would just tear her apart. All these years of marriage were nothing but a lie,” I say sarcastically, pretending to be filled with disappointment.

There is a fire that erupts in Louis’s eyes as he bares his teeth at me. “You come to my house, my territory, and threaten to ruin my marriage. Do you really think I would let you walk out of here alive?”

This time Alex speaks up.

“I know you aren’t that stupid. My people and everyone know that we are here; if we don’t walk out of here alive, then you will only be declaring a war; you know you won’t be able to win between our two packs,” Alex says confidently, and I wonder if he is aware that he is only adding fuel to the fire. He continues, “Not to mention that I have gotten someone to send this video to Caitlyn if we don’t walk out of here in the next,” Alex pauses to check the time on his watch. “Seven minutes.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Louis opens his mouth to speak, but Alex doesn’t let him.

“And any other day, if something happens to us at any point in time, then that video will still very much be sent to Caitlyn.”

Those are the words that have Louis’s jaw on the floor.

“How is that even fair? What if I am not the one responsible for your deaths?” he asks, and a satisfied smile creeps up our lips.

“Then I suppose you are just going to have to become our ally.” I say and lean forward a bit. “But that is not all you are going to have to admit. You are helping Jared by supplying him with the rogues you have been capturing over the years and supplying us with the soldiers we would need to better our defenses and defeat Jared.”

For a moment, Louis doesn’t utter a word; he just stares at me like there was more to the story.

Much more.

“Yes, I have been helping Jared; I mean, after you blatantly refused to render your powers for the better of our collective packs, I had to find some way to make you suffer.”

I didn’t even get the chance to blink before Alex had shot to his feet and lunged at Louis.

“Alex! No!” I snapped just before he could get a hold of Louis.

He doesn’t touch him, but he doesn’t sit back down either.

“You selfish bastard, do you realize how many of my people died because of you? How many children did you make orphans? How many of them you have traumatized?”

Louis doesn’t appear fazed at all by Alex’s words. His expression remains stoic and nonchalant.

“Sorry about that. I am sure they will heal.”

“Let’s see if you will heal from this,” Alex says with gritted teeth. He lunges out for Louis, and that is when I snap.

“Enough Alexander!” I growl, and his hand freezes halfway. His wide eyes filled with surprise shifted to me. Louis appears equally taken aback by my outburst. “We do not need your pity. I, for one, am already well aware that you are nothing more than a heartless cheating scoundrel. Tell me where Jared is.” I demand, and he doesn’t say a word.

A purple mist erupts from my body, and I could feel the warmth in me creeping out from the inside out. It takes me a moment to realize that the animal-like growl shaking the walls of this office came from me.

Horror washes over Louis and he raises his hands in surrender. “I swear I don’t know! He only calls me with a private number when he wants me to give him more rogues!”

My eyelids narrowed to slits, and I swear his body began to tremble with fear.

“I swear on Caitlyn that I am telling the truth!” he screeched.

“The next time he calls, act normal and tell him that the rogues are on their way. But instead of sending him rogues, you send us instead.” I pause and lean towards him. “And don’t even try to set us up. Or I swear that video will not only be sent to Caitlyn, but she will spend her last moments on earth knowing that she has a useless cheater for a husband. Do you understand me?”

Louis gulps. “Yes.”

Rising to my full height, I say, “Good. I wish I could say it was a pleasure chatting with you.”

With that said, I turn on my heel and walk out of the palace.

On my way out, I heard Louis say to Alex, “That is one scary mate you have there.”

“I know.”
