The Ruthless Female Alpha Regin

Lord Earl Alpha of One of the Northern Territories

Lord Earl's POV

I stood by the window as I wondered what would happen when her dead body reached my arms first. In as much as I love her, I think her reign needs to end, and since she has refused my generous hands in marriage and the merging of our both territories, then she has left me no choice but to do this.

She rather chose a weakling by nature, one who is by far beneath her standard, than choose me, who is not just an Alpha of great capacity but also of royal descent by blood.

This fate she brought on herself, and now who she has chosen would now be the end of her life.

Great deep laughter escaped my lungs, filling the entire wing with my remarkable joy.

Today I feast and plan my entry into the western territories. Such beauty would have been remarkable by my side while bearing me little pups.

"Guards!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Call the elders and every important official. Today their great Alpha and Lord holds a banquet of celebration, and celebrate we must. Get the musicians and women beyond the eyes."

"As you please, my lord."

"Good evening, my people. I gather you all here to join me in celebrating a joyous occasion, for tonight we shall feast, dance, and merry till dawn."

"To our Lord and Alpha Earl! Long live the Alpha! Long live the Alpha!"

We marry till the middle of the night, women beyond the eyes could count, and food spread across a table far beyond consumption.

This is how an Alpha of my potential should live.

"Fire! Someone is on fire!"

That was the first thing that held the hall by the throat. And then my beta's head rolled in, and then followed that of my son.

Right before my eyes, I could see everything burn. The hall fell into immediate chaos, people running to take shelter. As I walked slowly toward the window, only to see my entire territory was on fire and my people burning in it.

I shifted immediately, springing into action, but before I could even walk out the hall, he stood before me.

"Captain Azra, gamma of the Crimson Pack, or like I had always referred to him, her personal and obedient lap dog."

"I stand before you today, Lord and Alpha Earl, in the name of the great Alpha Lucia. You have been charged for treason, and your punishment awaits you in the capital."

"On what ground do you charge me that horrible crime? I have never plotted against her nor even seen her," I said, poking his chest, as he looked too irritated by it.

"I will give you two options out of respect. One, you come willingly, or second, you come unwillingly. It is your choice. But either way, Lord Earl, you will stand before her."

"Listen well, Azra. You can't scare me with that threat. I am not just an Alpha, but one born of royal descent, so you will give me that respect accorded to me.

And I go nowhere. Do you hear me? Touch me and die, Azra."

"I have already given you that respect. That is why your head isn't in my hands by now. Like I said, my lord, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours. But I won't leave here without you. However, the way I leave depends on your answer and willingness, my lord."

I knew fighting him, I was going to lose. He is known to be a mad wolf, one without proper control.

"Very well, Azra. I will stoop to your level. If your Alpha wanted to see me so badly, all she could have done was send word, not create all this drama just to get my attention.

Let go, Azra."

Lucia's POV

I sat inside the great hall. My throne felt colder than usual, or was it my soul that burned?

I anxiously waited for my captain's arrival. I had felt uneasy since the past few days after realizing the impending problems that would unfold in the coming days.

Jacob finds out that I killed his true family, then again killed and attacked his foster family.

How his identity wasn't truly his identity, that his name was not exactly Jacob but Rhazien. The confusion that is to unfold was what led to my anxiety and nothing else.

I only found out recently about everything and had someone look deep into the matter, only to find out he was the reminder of my heartless fourteen years ago.

I know he won't believe anything I have to say, and he will truly then hate me and seek me dead.

But I would rather die by his hands and not another.

Lord Earl's POV

"You do know all you needed to do was send  word to me, my love, and I would have come to you immediately. All that chaos wasn't needed."

"Lord Earl, thank you for accepting my invitation. I hope your journey wasn't too stressful."

"Not at all. Your lap dog over here made it fun and bearable.

So what do you need me for?"

"I will be quick. Did you kidnap my mate and have him plot to kill me?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Lucia. I didn't even realize you now have yourself a permanent plaything. But to answer your question, I did no such thing.

Look, Lucy, why don't we both set aside our pride and come together as the true intended mates we are meant to be?"

"You and I know killing me will cause so much trouble that might even lead to war. Actually, scratch that, it certainly will lead to war.

If I die, you won't just be killing an Alpha but a Lord of the Northern Region, and that is considered taboo before the world and the goddess.

And even if I did what you accuse me of, it is still not a reason to kill me, so just tell your lap dog to untie me and have me taken back in the finest carriages, and I would consider putting this insolent behavior of yours as a thing of the past."

"Oh, how generous of you, Lord Earl.

So you do admit to committing treason against me, then. And in my law, treason against me is worse than any war that has and would be fought."

"Just shu-"

My blade went through his head like it was meant to do so, quick and easy. His traitorous head rolled to the ground, shock still in his eyes.

He sure didn't see that coming.

If war would come, I would gladly welcome it.

"Captain, stand your ground with your men and prepare for battle."​
