The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Chapter 44

I had no idea what I was turning into, and my little brain thought it was my wolf, but the powers I was feeling were something beyond my understanding. A lot of things I couldn’t understand were running through my mind. Words to say. like they were magical words. A beast inside me was rising with a lot of strength and ability that I had never heard of.

All I knew was that I was going to attack whoever came into this ward now. The courage in me was something I had never had before, and there was that feeling I had. That of someone invincible.

Footsteps began to sound, and I was able to detect who it was. How I did that was still a mystery to me. The footsteps were those of five doctors, and one of them had a syringe and ampoule.

I have no idea why they were up to five to carry out what Liam ordered, but I guess they were already feeling the anxiety of what I had turned into.

Slowly, I sat on the bed, my hands on my laps, as I stared at the door in anticipation. Before now, I would have been scared that five hefty men were after me to actually kill me, and I would have been weak and in tears that the order was from Liam, whom I thought I could trust. Someone I thought loved me.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

But the new me had emerged, and all that was now something of the past. I was even impatient and angry that they weren’t walking fast.

ally, they got into the ward. Whatever beast had appeared inside me was literally making me an invincible and very powerful being, because that was the only thing that could explain why I was able to see through the door. My eyes were now so special that I could see through obstacles.

The men rearranged their coats and wore cool, innocent smiles on their faces to deceive me into thinking that they meant no harm. After I am done with them, I will face that b a s t a

rd who called himself a vampire prince. I will make sure he regrets this order. The only reason I won’t kill him is because he saved me from dying. Even though he has become a di

c k h e a

d now, I can’t deny the fact that if it weren’t for him, I would have been decaying in the ground.

They walked in. Five of them.

“Wow, it seems you have healed. You can now sit

up

with no help.

“Oh, you are really a strong woman. It might really be a blessing to have you as our vampire queen with this strength and special healing abilities.”

“Yeah, I still pray she changes her mind if she is going to be with that wicked man, Lucian.”

“Don’t you think you might be making a mistake by leaving Liam, who really loves you?”

“Are you dumb heads going to keep talking gibberish other than carrying out the evil that dumb heads ordered you?” I seethed in irritation, cutting them off the rubbish they were spilling from their mouths, thinking they were good actors hiding their evil intentions.

“What

“What have you said, dear?”

“I am also confused”

“My dear, he sent the five of us. There are five best doctors in this kingdom to take care of you, especially. He doesn’t want

you to…”

I snickered and stood up while they watched, befuddled. I was sure there was no way they would guess I already knew their plans. It was totally impossible in their eyes, so they kept feigning and putting up the innocent acts as I headed to the door

and locked it up, flinging the key beneath the bed, making sure it reached the end.

“What are you doing?”

“Are you sure the man who attached her didn’t inject something into her secretly that was going to affect her brain?” One of the doctors threw the question to the other, all still having squeezed facial expressions, grimacing and looking at me like I had grown two heads.

“No, he didn’t inject anything. Well, the word inject reminded me of something else instead. Something like the order from Liam, who you claim loves me. Inside your pocket, you have it ready to inject into me, right?” I said that and burst into laughter.

Their jaws dropped, their eyes widened, and a few even stumbled back on their legs as great shock hit them like a tsunami. The way their eyes popped out as they looked at me made me laugh mockingly.

Fear took over their shock, and one after the other, they began to look back at the door, then beneath the bed. Realization is actually hitting them now, but it’s too late. I could see the dread in their eyes as they all fixed their eyes on me while moving

back.

Although they can’t really tell what I have become, they already knew I wasn’t something to mess with now. I was able to hear their conversations with Liam and had the courage to lock the door and fling the key away, all enough to hint to them

they were in trouble. A real one.

“Selene, you knew the plan all along? How? Who told you? You were not in that room. No one was, not even the bodyguards

“Look at her eyes. We didn’t notice earlier. They are dark red and fierce. She is no longer the girl we saw earlier.” Another shouted in terror and ran to the door, then began to bang it all out and call for help

“There is no need for that. The door is covered with invisible fog, enough to keep every sound away from those outside. Stop wasting your time.” I said with a smirk, tossing my hair behind my ears..

“Please forgive me. Forgive us.” As they realized all hope was lost, they fell to their knees and began to plead for mercy.

“Huh? Forgive you? If I wasn’t aware of this, I will be dead. You were literally about to take my life. In three days, I will die, and the blame will be on Lucian. That’s how cruel and heartless you all and your prince are. I can’t spare such a creature. “I shrugged and let out a dry chuckle.

“How are we so sure she will defeat the five of us?” I heard one of them say to them, but as I looked at his face, I couldn’t see his lips move. He was having a mind-link conversation, and strangely, I was able to hear it.

Wow, there is really more about my new-found powers that I don’t know about. For real, I could hear mind-link conversations without being connected.

I pretended not to hear anything and sat on the bed.

“I can’t spare you all. No. You all are killers.” I was talking to them so they wouldn’t know I was listening to their conversation.

“At the countdown of three, we will all shift into our wolves and pounce on her at once, using every strength and tactic we have. Y’all ready?”

“Yes. We will catch her unaware. How didn’t I think of this?”

It almost made me laugh as I waited for their countdown.

“3” He said it through the mind link, and I joined in the countdown, counting the number alongside him.

“2” He spoke through the mind link, as their eyes squinted at me on hearing I was also counting.

“She can hear us!” The one who had run to the door screamed. He is the most scared of them all.

“Whatever. Attack!” The one counting yelled through the mind link, and only three shifted into their wolves and actually pounced on me.

I didn’t know how it happened. I found myself dodging their attacks so easily, moving quickly and swiftly enough. They were very fast, but I was able to see their attacks before they got to me. For real, I was moving like the wind.

Then my claws appeared with fangs, muscles, and veins running through me with that rage that makes me feel the unbearable hunger to kill.

What I did to these men shocked me. After I saw their bodies lying on the floor, lifeless with parts cut off and s c a t t e r e d around. It was in a haze of hunger and thirst to kill that I attacked them, and my heart, which was always soft and merciful, seemed to be removed and replaced with that of a demon.

I stared at them and couldn’t believe I had done this.

The remaining two fell to their faces, begging me to spare their lives and crying. Telling me they would do anything I asked them. They even offered to be my s l a v e, but I searched for that tender heart that gets moved by a little apology and plea. I ransacked to find that part of me that has no courage to hurt people, that good, innocent part of me that would make me allow them to scot free, but I couldn’t find it.

tldn’t trace even a tiny piece. A smirk appeared on my face, excitement brimming in me just at the thought of the new uesome way that crept into my head to kill them with.

I was going to bang their heads together continuously to see which was stronger.

They raised their heads from the ground they were lying on, looking up at me to check if I had changed my mind about killing them, and I took that opportunity to grip them with the neck, my clench so tight that their tongues poked and their eyes bulged out.

“Let’s see who had a stronger head,” I winked, and while they shook and wriggled to free themselves, I slammed the heads together with so much force that the sound of their skulls is echoing in my ears.

They had a brain tumor, their eyes raised at the top, and other parts of the body were moving unnaturally, with blood gushing from their heads and their faces unrecognizable.

They died, and I was still hitting the heads together as the sounds were really cool to me.

I finally dropped their dead bodies, then moved to the tap at the corner, washed my hands, and stepped out of the ward. My body was stained with blood, but I ignored it. I was going to meet Liam.

He has an explanation to make. He will have to explain to me why he chose to kill me for my own choice.

My sense of smell was at its peak as I walked out of the hospital, ignoring the stares of the people around me. I was sure they thought the blood was mine and didn’t care to know what was wrong with me since they hate me.

I got to the castle in my b l o o d y hospital gown and s c a t t e r e d hair. I was even barefooted, looking like ghosts in horror

movies.

The guards even gave way for me upon recognizing it was me. Liam had warned everyone in the castle to stay away from me and never lay hands on me.

As I entered the castle, it looked different. I could feel some kind of silence and dread. It was like everyone had run into their room and locked the door. I couldn’t meet anyone, nor could I hear a voice. The inside was like a deserted home.

With my senses, I located Liam to be at the palace, so I headed there straight up, not minding how I looked or what his parents might do. I even want them to be present when I ask Liam, while he chooses to poison me and make it look like

Lucian did it.

I got to the palace door and pushed it open without knocking. I wasn’t afraid of anyone anymore.

All eyes drifted to me, and among them, I saw those hazel-charming eyes also gazing at me. The eyes of the man with the key to my heart.

Now I see why the castle was so dead. It was his presence. Lucian was here.

“Selene, he called.
