Chapter 34: DEPRAVITY
"How dare you cause a scandal and create more trouble?!"@@@@
Alpha Roland just arrived at the Blackthorne pack, right before a day Xaden did. The first thing he did, of course, was to confront his daughter.
The report that he received about the reason for her confinement was ridiculous, but as silly as it sounded, his own daughter just confirmed it.
"Clear out the area and don't let anyone come closer to the bedroom," Luna Karina instructed Sarah and Esther. She didn't want anyone to learn what happened here.
She also stepped out of the room because she couldn't handle watching Roland unleash his wrath, but before she closed the door behind her, Zuri's black eyes met hers. There was a strong disappointment there. Understandably so.
This was not the first time Zuri's mother chose to turn a blind eye to her suffering, but certainly, it wouldn't be the last. There was no surprise there.
Meanwhile, Alpha Roland was unleashing hell upon his own daughter.
"You are crazy! Disgraceful to your family! It is your mother's fault for not being able to teach you proper manners!" He raised his hand and was ready to slap Zuri, but this time, she glowered back at him.
"I might be pregnant! Hit me and I might lose that precious baby again!" Zuri emphasized the word 'precious baby' in a mocking tone.
Alpha Roland thought about that and lowered his hand, but he smashed a tea cup against the wall and it shattered into pieces on the floor, yet Zuri didn't flinch, even when a stray shard grazed her cheek.
Blood oozed from her small cut, but it healed almost immediately.
She was not pregnant, but there was no need for her father to realize that.
"Do you realize that it could become a nasty scandal?!" Alpha Roland faced his daughter again. "If you really got pregnant, the baby would be questioned! I thought you were smart enough to think it through!"
"You should be grateful that he wanted to teach you." He scoffed angrily. His face turned red. "If you, as a woman, couldn't satisfy your man in bed and couldn't even bear his children, what would be the use of you?"
"That's it. Fight back. Show him who you really are! He couldn't step on you all the time!'
This could be a good sign or a bad sign, because Zuri started to follow the voices in her head, as she snapped at her father.
"River Creek pack's wealth came from me. I doubled the wealth of the pack and made it the richest pack in this kingdom. I am the mastermind behind your business deal." Zuri used the term that Khaos had used on her and she could feel the corners of her lips tugging upward. "And you say that I am a disappointment, because I couldn't satisfy Xaden in bed?" She narrowed her eyes on her father. "Probably, he was the one, who couldn't satisfy me, just like how you couldn't satisfy mother."
A harsh slap. A punch to the face and when Zuri fell to the ground, a harsh kick landed on her stomach. Great. If she had a miscarriage, he couldn't blame it on her.
Profanities flew out of Roland's mouth, but Zuri was not done yet. The past week was too peaceful, too serene and heartwarming, something really foreign to her.
But now this pain was something she was familiar with, a feeling that she could associate to, which also pushed her to provoke Roland further.
"You brought all of your harlots to the bed and made my mother watch your depravity." Zuri lifted her head, an eerie chuckle escaped her lips. "Without the money that you gave them, I doubt they even want to see you naked."
That was it, Zuri asked for it. Roland punched her, kicked her, while she was laughing maniacally. Every punch and kick only made her laugh even louder.
"You're crazy! I know you are crazy! You must be an evil spawn!"
"Imagine those women looking in disgust when they saw the wrinkly thing between your
legs."
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU CRAZY BITCH!"
The threat didn't work, because Zuri was still laughing hysterically. She was too numb to feel
the pain.
