Rise of a Queen

A Clear Picture

  A/N: Surprise P.O.V in the middle of this chapter.

Isaac

Some part of me wanted to comfort her, hug her, or at least reassure her that everything was going to be fine. But I wasn't so sure it was going to be fine. This whole situation was a mess on top of a mess. She just sit back and watched while her asshole of a mate sat back and not only tortured this woman but killed her baby. No wonder why she doesn't want me to call her luna, this is some bullshit.

All Luna Michelle...I mean Michelle just admit to abuse of power, abuse of a pack member, and murder and in a court trial, she would be charged as an accomplice. Yes, Delancey served her sentence as a criminal but why was neither Jeremy nor Michelle being charged with infant mortality?

"Throughout the ten years that he kept her down there, he tortured her, abused her maybe even raped her."

I winced, rape was a very touchy subject for me. I couldn't stomach either the thought or the word it was sickening.

"I understand that you feel guilty Michelle but this doesn't explain why you're here?"

"I want my freedom" her eyes currently held a fierce determination that I've seen before. Which made me nervous. Of course, she would want her freedom from a man who would torture a woman with no remorse and go out of his way to hunt her down; but that kind of determination that she held, told me she would do just about anything to get it.

"Freedom from what exactly?"

"Jeremy, my pathetic excuse of a life."

Of course, you would. Wait...what? Backtrack on that last part.

"No, I wouldn't kill myself. Besides, I wouldn't hurt my baby."

But you have no problems hurting another woman's child

We don't know if she did it. She could have been mind controlled

So? Did you hear the venom in her voice when she talked about Delancey and her baby? Even without the possibility of witchcraft that is reason enough for probable cause. In other words, in court, her ass would be looking at 20 years to life.

He ain't wrong tho.

"Your pregnant huh? Does Jeremy know?"

"No, Because it's not his child."

Say what now? She didn't seem like the type to cheat.

She doesn't seem the type to murder a child either.

"Look I, don't have enough time to explain the full details to you... Can you just do me a few favors?"

Do I really wanna see where this was going? Yes, yes I do.

"I'm listening..."

Jeremy's P.O.V

That little bitch?! I flung the desk across the room and watched unsatisfied, as it crumbled and fell against the wall. Why does every woman in my life have to be so disobedient? First my mother, then Delancey, and now, suddenly Michelle decides it's a good time to sprout claws and want to fight me. I was beyond livid, for ten years I had that bitch at my beck and call, sucking up to her so she could give me an heir and she couldn't even do that. Delancey was the only one who came close to giving me an heir, but sadly it had to be killed.

The heir or not, she wasn't my mate, and my firstborn needed to be a product of my mating with my mate. Else the pup would be a half-assed, probably crippled, alpha version of me, with little to no power. And with an heir with my true mate, it was undeniable that the baby would be born with power. But then that bitch Delancey just had to go and screw with my plans as soon as it was announced that Michelle and I were expecting a baby that bitch went to plotting. 

And boy did she plot. She tortured and killed my shot at strengthening my powers and possibly regaining my wolf. 

Ever since my recent hobbies, the bastard has been hiding from me. He hasn't responded to any attempts I've made to reach out to him. Pack doctors say he's as good as dead but I know the bastard wasn't dead. Even if it was, I'd find a way to bring him back. Without him, my plan would most likely fail before it was even put into action. 

I was still puzzled though, what was the reason for Michelle suddenly becoming so rebellious? Never once has tried to lash out at me, not since I trapped Delancey in the dungeon for ten years; had her starved, beaten, and tortured. Michelle has been very compliant like a good submissive whore. Just how I like my women. 

A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts. Who the hell is brave enough to even approach my office at these hours?

"Come in"

The angry scowl on my face was replaced with a sly smile at the slim figure standing before me, dressed in a skin-tight, black-laced robe that I knew held nothing underneath. "Hello alpha" her shy meek voice, sent chills down my spine. After being done with her she won't be so innocent, no, not at all. I'm going to break her. 

"Don't be shy, come closer." Her tiny feet padded against the floor as she stood in front of me, her scent was so sweet. I could tell she was close to her heat which was going to make this even more fun. Why didn't I think about this before? Regular wolves and wolves with any high-ranking lineage were a pain in the ass to deal with but not Omegas. Omegas were easier to manipulate and coerce into doing your dirty work, no need for hypnosis of any kind. "What would you want me to do for you alpha?"

"Oh love you have no idea, the things I'd like to do to your body? But first, why don't we start with a simple back massage for your alpha hm." 

She nodded. 

I gripped her chin firmly and forced her to look at me as I tutted disapprovingly. 

"Baby girl, we've been through this already. Now, what did you do wrong?"

"I didn't respond to alpha properly."

"Good and what should you say"

"Am sorry alpha, please forgive me alpha." She begged pathetically. I chuckled darkly, this little fox has no idea what she's gotten herself into. And by the time she's figured it out, it would be too late for her to back out or warn anyone else. 

"Good girl. Now, how bout that massage?"

A/N: I know, I know. Probably drew that out longer than needed, but hey at least we got a long chapter out of it.
