Chapter 13 Deserved it
Valleys Kingdom ~
After helping Delaney escape, Amira didn’t linger around, she could hear the rouge vampires running towards her. If she stays in their territory a minute longer, she would die a horrible death.
She heaved a soft sigh as she has achieved success this time, but also dreads what awaited her as she headed to the city. She’s sure that Knox has already found out hell, he might be on his way here, but she doesn’t give a damn! Furthermore, she has achieved her goal already, so she’d take whatever he throws her way – anything so long as he won’t have any female by his side.
Amira too was a human when they first brought her here, you can say she’s the first concubine Knox has, his first chosen! Her case is a little different from the new humans coming here. She suffered the most because Knox’s hatred for humans was still fresh on his mind. It was at that time he lost his parents!
At first, Knox gave her the illusion of wanting her, of loving her making her fall in love with him, and then she had confessed her love to him even after knowing what he was! But he had snapped the moment she said those words. All of a sudden, the good Knox she knows was gone, she saw his true colors. He used her love against her, he made sure to remind her why it’s a crime to fall in love with him.
“Your people took everything from me, and I’m going to make you watch as I take everything from them. You should be happy you’re the first Amira, you’ll get to leave a long life. A long miserable life. Let’s put it like this… You’ll be their queen, watching as her people suffer.”
His words are still fresh on her mind as if they were yesterday. He tortures her here and then when that wasn’t enough for him, he began bringing in humans, using that as a solution to calm down the vengeance of his people. Amira wonders why he’s preventing the Vampires from venturing into the human lands when he loathes humans. No matter how she thinks about it, it doesn’t make sense. If he hates them, he can simply end the humans, then let go of the unending rage in his heart.
Being true to his word, Knox turned her into a vampire, so she could leave a long life, she watched as humans were used and killed at the end. Some lucky ones were also turned into a vampire. What she hates most is that he turned her into a vampire, so she can also feed off her kind.
Amira vowed to make him pay, she knows nothing she does might be a threat to him, but there’ll always be something she can use to get revenge for making her fall in love with him. For taking her love for granted!
And so, she waited, she doesn’t care how long that will take, but as the saying goes, a patient dog eats the fattest bone. Not like there’s anything she’d achieve from causing Knox pain, she knows she might die in the process. At least she would die with the knowledge that Knox is mad, helpless, and hurt. It’s the list she could do for making her fall for him. There’s nothing she could do to save the humans sold here. She could only hope someone will come, someone that will put an end to Knox and the kingdom.
Amira guesses her prayers got answered when news about Delaney spread out through the whole kingdom like wildfire. Delaney will be Knox’s only chosen this year.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Amira instantly knew it’s time, there must be something about Delaney that attracted Knox, she watched and studied her, noticing how Delaney resented Knox. She also heard when Delaney asked for a way out of this kingdom, so she used this to her advantage. She provided offered to help her.
She purposely didn’t meet Delaney when she said she would because something was missing… hatred. Amira wanted Delaney to hate Knox to an extent that she won’t accept him back if he eventually finds her. Now that she has succeeded, she felt peace in her heart.
The moment Amira stepped out of the rogues’ territory, she was surrounded by Knox men. Vendetta stroll towards her with a sly smile on her face, “You are in big trouble, Amira.”
“Tell me something I don’t know.” Amira snorted.
Vendetta’s eyes narrowed, “Why did you do it? Do you understand what you’ve done? Delaney is his mate!”
Amira shrugs indifferently. This makes it even better, she thought. Vendetta nods at the guys behind her, “Take her away.”
Once they left, Vendetta ordered the guys to search for Delaney, “She shouldn’t have gone far.”

After hours of searching for Delaney, Vendetta returned to Knox mansion. She found him sitting in his office with a glass of wine in his hand, Vendetta wonders why he usually takes it even when Vampires don’t get drunk.
He raised his head to look at her, “Delaney?”
“Gone, we couldn’t find her… but Ralph picked up smell of werewolves.” She hurriedly said
Knox taps his finger on the desk for a long time, though he looked calm, Vendetta knows he’s silently seething. It was unknown to her what he was thinking, she only watches him, waiting for his next order.
Suddenly, he got up abruptly and walk towards the door, “Take me to Amira.”
★★★
They arrived at the dungeon where Amira was locked in. Amira was in a bad shape when they walked in, she was beaten up and covered with wounds that are supposed to have healed but weren’t healing because she has loosed too much blood.
The only way to regain her strength and heal is by feeding.
Amira watched as Knox squat down in front of her, he raised his finger to brush the hair from her face. The movement was sweet yet tender, sending a pang to her heart.
“You shouldn’t have done that Amira, why?”
“Because you deserve it!” She spat.
His lips twitch slightly, “I think I’ve kept you long enough, don’t you think? Tell me where you took her.”
A weak laugh bubbles out of her mouth, “Gone, Delaney is gone! You will never see her again, and guess what? Even if you find her, she would despise you! That’s what you get for hurting me all these years.”
Knox’s hand trails from her face downward, stopping at her neck. He leans slightly and whispered “Wrong Amira, she would never despise me because I’ve marked her. The mating bond would never let her hate me even when it wants to.”
With that, he twisted her neck. A sickening crack rang out as he tore her head from her head. Knox then turned to Vendetta, “Burn her body.”
Vendetta nodded but kept staring at him, “So what’s next?” She was Indirectly referring to Delaney, what is he going to do about her?
“To hunt her down, she can’t run away from me no matter what because I’ve marked her.”
He walked out of the dungeon and paused, “Tell Raphael to gather his men, we’d be leaving Valleys by dusk.”
