Alpha’s Pregnant Luna - Chapter 19: Chapter 19

ALPHA Frankie
I arrived at Xayden’s residence, fully prepared with my entourage. I made sure to show up like the typical Alpha King I am. I was currently waiting in the large hallway for Xayden, and no sooner after I sit there, did he appear. He came alone, and for a minute I was taken aback.
I know he’s in his territory, his abode but then anything could happen and for one I don’t even trust him. I had already informed everyone that I was coming here so he wouldn’t try anything with me.
“The Alpha King himself. You came here to see a lady, and you brought this whole army with you huh? I can see that someone’s afraid…” He taunted, gloating at me but I ignored his jabs.
“Where is she?” I asked straight up, going to the point, and not entertaining his useless talks.
“You do really want to get down to business, right? And I never gave you my word that when you came, you would see her or did I? If I remember vividly, you hung up on me.” He replied with a lazy smirk.
I don’t think he has her with him as the Xayden I know would never hesitate to prove to you that he is right.
“Just take me to see Anne, if you really have her with you. I don’t have time to spare any further Xayden.”
He nodded and then surprising me he said, “Well, let’s go, then shall we?”
I didn’t reply, instead, I turned and selected three of my strongest guards to walk with me before we all followed his lead.
We walked in silence, passing rooms, courtyards, then soon we reached a large hall that seemed like a dungeon or so.
We stopped at a large iron door and Xayden brought out a huge key before proceeding to open the huge padlock that was locking the door.
When the door opened, I spotted up to three prison doors inside and I was shocked. I knew my brother was brutal, but the state of this prison, the dampness, and the darkness of the whole place had me rethinking how much I knew about him. I couldn’t even begin to imagine Anne in a place like this, but here’s reality and it’s staring straight at me.
It took all the self-control left in me not to punch the hell out of the man, standing in front of me.
“Where is she?” I ask looking around the dark place.
He ignored me before smirking evilly and calling out, “Anne, Anne, you have a visitor.”
There was some shuffles and noise in the first prison, and I heard something the sound of chains being dragged on the ground.
I looked at the door when I noticed that the sound was getting closer and soon she appeared.
The little light that was coming from the only window in the prison room, was enough for me to see her, and what I saw broke my heart.
Standing there indeed, looking so skinny, tattered and with blood cut lips was Anne, and she looked so battered.
“What the fuck!” I exclaim as I instinctively advance towards Xayden, as I begin to advance towards him.
“Woah! Don’t you dare try to touch me. I have done what you requested, so I’ll just leave you both to reunite.” He smirked, and then with hands raised mockingly, he left
I clenched and unclenched my fist slowly, as I walked towards Anne, whose eyelids are flickering open and close tiredly.
“Frankie… Frankie… Is that you?” She asks, her dirty black stained arms stretching out from the prison walls, and I quickly clasp them.
“Oh Anne… Oh Anne… It’s me. What did Xayden do to you?” I asked sorrowfully, as tears threaten to pour from my eyes.
Her voice is so hoarse, and she sounds as if she has lost all the strength in her, and I can only imagine what she has gone though.
Seconds pass, minutes pass and I don’t know if hours pass too, but we spend the little time we have together recollecting old fond memories, while I try to console her as she recounts the way Xayden who I even discover is her true mate, has been maltreating her.
All these and more just makes me want to go and stab the fucker in the head, without thinking twice.
“Don’t let Xayden’s taunts get to you please Frankie. Don’t listen to his trading, he never treated the girl right, to begin with and he was never mated to her. He had only forcefully mated her.” She trails off slowly, begging me and I can see the plea in her eyes.
I can’t promise her that I will do nothing to him, as I have it in mind to teach him the lesson of his life, even if that means going to war with him, so I just say, “I’ll try my best ok.”
“I’m tired Frankie. I need to rest. Xayden is my true mate and he ruined me. don’t give him yours to save me. I wouldn’t last long anyway with the amount of wolfsbane and silver in my system.” She says with a short laugh, withdrawing her hands from mine, and I drop them slowly.
I didn’t know what made me sad more, the fact that she was Xayden’s true mate or the fact that he tortured his own true mate for twenty years. One thing I’m sure of is that Xayden is a monster and he should never be allowed to live.
I grab her skinny face in my palms and look straight into her eyes, I promise not only her but myself as I say, “Anne… I’m going to come back for you. I’m going to save you, and I’m going to get you out of this shit hole. You just believe me okay…” I say assuringly and she nods.
Tears pooled my eyes and I hated that she was this way, I wanted to do something to help her, I wish I could.
I kiss her knuckles, not minding how dirty they are, as I look at her and we share a passionate moment in silence before I leave. The look in her eyes still haunts me even as I see Xayden outside waiting for me as soon as I’m done.
“Were you able to make your decision?” He asks me with a smirk and then adds, “I’m sure you don’t like the state she’s in, so are you going to leave her there just because of my Paula?”
His Paula? I scoff as I repeat his last words. This beast really needed a reality check and he needed to wake up from his childish fantasies.
We were walking outside and I don’t give him any response until it was time for me to finally leave.
I face him squarely and spitting in his face, I grit out, “I’m not giving you Paula when I know she’s my mate and not yours. Besides Anne is your one true mate, so she’s stuck with you. You ruined your mate and you expect me to hand over mine? Things don’t work that way brother and I’m done having this conversation. I hope you have a nice time in hell. Fuck you!”
I left with my guards not waiting for his response. My pride is still intact, and I know for sure that I’m going to come back and save Anne. I just have to map out my plans.
