Betrayed 8
Chapter 8
3RD POV
“Mother. What was that?!” Derek yelled at his mom the moment he was in her bedchamber.
“Oh, you don’t dare shout at me! I’m still your mother! How dare you want to destroy the relationship between you and Lady Emily all because of that… that… that… filthy rag!”
“Mom, you won’t call Annabelle that!”
“Oh, snap out of it, child. Annabelle is filth, whether you like it or not, and I won’t allow you to break such a beautiful relationship between you and Lady Emily just because of her. You said you wanted her as your slave to satisfy your bed, so do just that and don’t let it disrupt the relationship you have with Lady Emily. You should be glad Lady Emily isn’t even complaining.”
“Mom, I don’t want to have anything to do with Emily. You have forced her on me countless times, and I have always rejected her. I don’t feel anything for her, and I can’t be betrothed to her when I’m still betrothed to Amanda!”
“Derek, Amanda is gone…” Luna Sandra’s voice softened. She was petrified. It had been years since she heard that name last, and that was one of the reasons why her son Derek had refused to talk–because of the traumatic incident that happened thirteen years ago. Seeing him talk again, and about Amanda, made her so scared.
Amanda, daughter of her late husband’s best friend, had disappeared after a sudden invasion in the pack. The invaders had solely targeted Amanda’s parents‘ house, which was still a mystery to her. The invasion had cost the life of her husband and the lives of Amanda’s parents. Her son Derek was the only survivor of the attack, and ever since then, Derek had been mute. She had no idea what exactly had happened, but she was sure Derek was traumatized by what had happened, which made him mute.
Seeing him speak, not just about anything, but about Amanda, sent shivers down her spine. She had assumed that he had finally begun to heal from the trauma since he had regained his voice. But the way he still uttered Amanda’s name with such intensity revealed that he was far from over her, and that made her extremely petrified

“Derek, son… She tried reaching out for her son, but he evaded her touch.
“Mom, this conversation is over. I want Annabelle back in her rightful room. Fine, I may have bought her from the neighboring pack is a slave, but that doesn’t mean she should be treated so badly! If she is to satisfy my bed, I won’t allow her to be treated as such. Perhaps you can treat her any way you want when I’m done with her, but as of now that she is yet to serve me, I want her in the room assigned to her.” Derek stated in a serious tone, and with that, he turned his back on his mom and banged the door of her room, the sound echoing through the narrow hallway.
“Derek…” He heard Lady Emily’s voice call his name, but he ignored her. He had known she would be eavesdropping on whatever conversation he had with his mom, but that wasn’t any of his problems right now. What was on his mind was to get Annabelle out of the hell she was in.
“Derek…” Lady Emily chased after Derek, calling out his name. She reached out to grab his arm, trying to stop him, but the moment her hand touched his clothes, he shot her a fierce glance that made her quickly withdraw her hand, startled.
“Head Omega Beatrice!”
“Yes… Yes, Alpha!” The head omega, who was supervising the other servants in the kitchen, immediately stopped what she was doing to answer the call of the Alpha the moment she heard her name.
“Go get Lady Annabelle.”
“Alpha…” Head Omega Beatrice was a bit skeptical about the task, but the death glare Alpha Derek gave her made her quickly retreat and obey his orders without further question. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
She was reluctant to question the Alpha, who appeared even more deadly and ruthless. now that he had regained his voice.
His voice was thunderous and intimidating, a sound one would prefer to avoid. She last heard his voice when he was a nine–year–old kid, and it was childish and innocent. Now, at twenty–two, his deep voice commanded respect, though she was still trying to get used to it.
When she got to the slaves‘ quarters, she knocked on each door, unaware of the room Annabelle was kept in. It wasn’t until she heard weeping from a closed door that she realized that was the room Annabelle was in.
