Chapter 83: The Alpha King, Ursula’s side story
The minute Ursula saw Beta Atlas enter the room all the color had drained from Ursula’s face.
His arrival here only meant one thing; the Alpha King has arrived. And as the beta’s betrothed, and the stepdaughter to the CrystalBay pack’s Alpha’s uncle, her presence was expected.
Ursula hated Atlas. Atlas was cruel and a master of puppets, he loved treating Ursula as his personal puppet. When he had first started his games with her, she rebelled and fought back, but he grew tired of her refusal quickly and for punishment he started to inject her with wolfsbane, something that suppresses the wolf of a werewolf. And shifters were nothing without their animal. For her first few weeks here, every time she disobeyed him, she was given an injection.
This could only happen so many times before it would break any wolf’s spirit.
After presenting Violet with a stone, Beta Atlas requested for Ursula. For a moment she hesitated looking for an escape route. But she knew what followed after she would inevitably be caught by him.
Ursula took a deep breath and braced herself for what was to come.
Collecting herself and hiding her fears deep within, she made her way through the crowd. Her head held high as she pretended to be a strong confident wolf.
When she looked at Atlas’ face, she could see the fakeness in his smile. They couldn’t, but she knew that sick sadistic smile anywhere. It haunted her nightmares.
As they walk away, he leans into her ear and whispers in a low, sinister voice. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine. "What took you so long, my Poppet?"
