Ruthless Mate - Chapter 19: Chapter 19

A week has passed since that incident. She has been doing all the chores without any complaints. The most difficult one was the cooking but thankfully Charlotte comes by every evening and Aurora would note down the recipe for the dinner with her help.
In the first two days, she was drained after the chores because she wasn't used to such hard work. She had lived her life like a princess back in her pack but now she was out of the safety cocoon. Now she had to learn how to face difficulties and how to overcome them.
Charlotte was surprised to find Aurora working but she didn't ask her why she was doing all the chores.
Aurora asked her to help with the recipes and procedure for the dinner and Charlotte agreed. Aurora admits that her cooking wasn't good for now but she was trying.
She was slowly learning everything. By the end of the week, she was getting used to all the work. She had made up her routine. She would wake up early in the morning. Make breakfast for him and then disappear into her room. When he would leave the mansion. She would have her breakfast and do all the cleaning along with laundry.
While cleaning his room, she tried to look for her phone but she didn't find it and there was nothing else she could use to contact her family or Lennox.
Aurora would then make dinner and set the table for him as she would take her dinner to her room and when he would retire to his room she would do the dishes and call it a day.
If he thought he could hurt her and break her by calling her maid or making her do all these chores then he was wrong.
"That f*cker," Draken hissed coldly.
"Bring me that rascal," Draken commanded as Eren nodded his head and his men walked away to fulfill his command.
Within a few hours, he walked down through the dark passageway that led to the dungeons.
The smell of blood was potent in the air.
Draken stepped into the dungeon where a man was kneeling on the floor. There were bruises all over him. His men had surely done a number on him.
"W...who are you? W...why am I here?" The man asked shakily.
Draken tilted his head as he gazed at the man who was a f*cking millionaire and thinks he could do anything to anyone and no one can put his hands on him.
"I'm a Grim Reaper. You are here to die," Draken said icily. His dark eyes were shining with a murderous glint.
"W..why are you killing me?" The man was full-on trembling. Why wouldn't he? There was torture equipment all around him and six men standing around the room like angels of death in black. His petrified state was understandable.
"You think you can hurt innocent people and get away with it?" Draken sneered menacingly.
"W...what are you talking about?" The man asked, pretending to be innocent.
Stepping forward Draken landed a solid punch on his jaw that he fell to the side and coughed out blood groaning in pain.
"I'm your karma," Draken gritted out.
"W...who paid you to kill me? I...I.. will pay you more," The man stammered as he looked at Draken with pleading eyes.
"Sara wants justice," Draken said calmly and that man's eyes flashed in rage.
"That bitch! I'll pay triple just spare me," the man said and Draken gnashed his molars.
Eren watched his Alpha in gloomy silence. Draken was losing his calm.
"You f*cking rapist!" Draken growled as he landed another solid punch on his face.
Grabbing his collar Draken pulled him up before landing another punch and they heard the cracking noise of his nose breaking.
"S...S...stop... I...I'll pay you more." that man croaked and Draken let him go as his body fell on the dirty floor.
A cold humorless laugh resonated in the grim silence as Draken chuckled darkly.
"Decapitate him," Draken sneered viciously as he stepped out of there.
He could hear the screams of that man as he begged for his life to be spared but then everything went silent.
Walking back to his study he took his seat and stared at his bruised knuckles which were healing.
He breathed deeply a couple of times to calm himself down. He hates rapists.
The underworld knows him as a Grim Reaper but for many women, he was the source of justice.
Sighing, he drank a glass of water to relax a little.
Opening his laptop he opened the file where the live footage of his mansion was showing in small boxes. His eyes roamed the screen before he clicked one of the boxes and the footage covered the whole screen.
She was in the lounge cleaning.
He has been watching her silently for the past week through the security cameras at his mansion. He knew she was deliberately avoiding him. She has learned his routine so she efficiently hides in her room whenever he would be there. There was no security camera in her room. There was one before he brought her to his pack but he got it removed. He didn't want to invade her privacy.
One thing was clear to him from the start. Everyone in her pack has treated her like a princess. She was a hybrid but that didn't mean she should be weak.
She thinks she was weak. She had drilled it in her head. She just starts trembling even though he would just slightly raise his voice on her. She may be treated like a princess by her family but she has to face the reality now. Her brothers and her father won't save her from all the hardships that will come her way.
She should start to look after herself.
But it wasn't her fault either. Her personality was so timid, shy, and delicate. That just her presence demands protection from him. Like he would have this urge inside of him to protect this fragile girl at all costs.
She might've dreamed that a charming prince would come into her life as her mate and he would protect her and treat her like a queen but the little princess didn't know what it takes to become a real queen.
She was his mate yet he couldn't get himself to trust her. She was the daughter of Xander Colt. The man who was on Draken's list of enemies. He has no evidence against him but still, he couldn't trust them.
Draken didn't want to hurt her and he might never but Xander didn't need to know that nor did her brothers need the confirmation that their sister was okay.
He watched in silence as she sat down on the floor with her legs folded.
After a second she lay back on the floor with her hands spread wide as she stared at the ceiling. Her lips were moving so he increased the volume.
"It's so tiring," She grumbled.
"But I've to prepare dinner or Mr. Cold-hearted beast will eat me alive." She talked to herself.
Mr. Cold-hearted beast.
The corner of his lips quirked up.
He'll head home early tonight and inform his little mate about the Luna ceremony that will be in two days from now.
Closing his laptop, he got busy checking the file that needed his signature.
