Chapter 132: Chapter 132

Ryan expected Abby to see through his plan and come prepared, but he didn’t expect for the rumors out there to be true and the King really cared for that monster daughter of his.

But what was he saying now? Did he just say Hanna was ‘alive?’

“What did you just say?” He gritted his teeth, hoping he just heard him wrong, or he was just bluffing him.

“Hanna is alive and you can meet her…”

“You have captured her?!”

“Yes…”

This one word was enough for Ryan to see red, as he lunged at the king while shifting midair. He roared as he threw his paw at Micah, but the latter was alert for such reactions and immediately stepped aside.

“RYAN!!!” Abby screamed, feeling mortified that he dared to attack her mate, because he was no match for him. But Micah didn’t feel any need to end his life as he still tried to talk to him.

“Shift back, now!” He would endure it until the end if it meant Abby wouldn’t get hurt in the process.

Even though she resented them, Abby never wished them any harm, let alone a cruel demise. Deep down, she still cared for them, just like he thought she would, that was why he didn’t carved death sentences across their foreheads and just exiled them.

Knowing they were alive and their blood wasn’t on her hands, she could breathe easily, but Ryan didn’t know any better, because a second later, he actually roared even louder as he prompted his rogue army to attack the king and his group.

Vicious roars filled the air as the royal warriors engaged in a bloody battle with the rogues, while Dax guided Abby to stand beside a considerably large boulder.

On the other hand, Micah joined the battle as well, but not before trying to stop Ryan one last time.

“You are going to regret this, so stop before it is too late.”

The answer he got was an equally vicious roar, as he lunged at the king again, but this time Micah didn’t dodge him, instead he leapt high and shifted midair before colliding with Ryan’s beast.

And the result was bloody, because Ryan rebounded from the impact as he felt himself flying backward before hitting a boulder where his jaw cracked and blood immediately flowed down his muzzle until he whimpered.

Abby almost rushed to his side, but Dax stopped her.

“King Micah has it under control,” the royal gamma said, upon which Abby could see a few warriors forming a circle around them, giving her a two layer protection.

“Would he kill him?” Abby couldn’t help but hold her breath.

“I don’t think so, he wants to capture him alive,” Dax said, not really bothering about the fate Ryan would face tonight.

If they could capture him along with a few other rogues, they could be useful for their investigation, if not, they could wait for another chance.

It was not like Calpin was an ordinary enemy that could be dealt with so easily, they needed to bide their time and not rush blindly.

“I think it is over before it even started,” Dax said, as he whistled to look at Ryan who couldn’t get back on his limbs after Micah threw his paw at him for the fourth time. “He was no match for him.”

Around them, they could see how half of the rogues were lying dead, while the other half were in the hold of the royal warriors.

“Shift back!” Micah infused his superior alpha dominance into his voice, as he forced them all to shift back and Abby only stepped forward when everyone was fed with Rottingbane, which would prevent them from shifting into their beasts again.

“Father, shift back,” Abby said, because Ryan’s beast kept whimpering, not obeying the king’s order.

But he couldn’t move either, he was allowing the few bones that broke earlier in the fight to realign.

But Micah didn’t have all the time in the world, so he made the warriors feed Ryan Rottingbane leaves forcefully.

“Why did you attack?!” Abby looked down at her father, who was forced to such a pitiful state.

The way she was looking at him didn’t sit well with him, he had always been a prideful person. So he mustered his energy and with the support of the boulder behind him, he slowly rose to his feet “Ho- how could I not wh- when you have been tor… turing your ol- older sister? She ne- never wished any harm up- upon you, but you co- couldn’t hide your ug- ugly nature the mo- moment you fo- found a chance…”

Ryan rambled on some more, even though most of his words were incoherent and he needed a lot of time to voice anything on his mind.

“She was captured as a rogue that attacked and took the lives of several civilians. She was punished for the same, but Queen Abby didn’t know she was captured until the last minute.”

It was Dax, who explained this little misunderstanding to Ryan, when Abby and Micah stood there silently, Abby losing all hope in his father while Micah didn’t give a fuck why he did what he did.

“But keeping it aside, you think your older daughter is a saint? She is even more ruthless compared to you.” Dax’s face scrunched up in contempt. “Instead of trying to protect her little sister, she fueled the flames and instigated you and your pack members to hurt her.”

Even though Abby never confessed what Hanna had done to anybody other than Micah, Dax did his own digging during his stay in the Silver Moon pack, and the pack members, who wanted to curry favor with Abby, now that she was the queen, didn’t have any qualms to throw Ryan and Hanna to the wolves.

In fact, some even showed over enthusiasm to sell this father and daughter down the river.

“I don’t believe someone like her didn’t abuse her little sister when no one was around, you need to open your eyes and see who is the real monster here.”

“Shut up, you don’t know anything!! You were all bewitched by her.”

He couldn’t bear to hear it. His precious daughter’s name was being dragged through the mud. And when he thought who was the reason for all this, his eyes turned cold again.

“Yes, you did all of this. I need to get rid of you…” Ryan mumbled so low, the blowing wind couldn’t carry his voice over.

“Ryan, accept the reality,” Micah said, when the man behaved like he was deranged as he kept talking to himself.

“Micah, Dax, enough. Let’s head back.” Abby didn’t want to waste her time anymore, however, she didn’t expect her words to trigger Ryan somehow, because now the man was shaking again.

“You are going to let them torture me like you did with your sister?”

“You wouldn’t need to go through any torture if you reveal what you know, it is as simple as it gets,”

Dax supplied from the side, feeling the ex beta was scared to lose his life.

His fear was not uncalled for because, aside from Hanna, no other rogue they captured managed to keep their life in the past few months.

But then they kept Hanna alive, so it was highly likely Ryan could keep his life as well. But there were certain conditions like he said. He needed to tell them everything he knew, just like Hanna did.

Dax felt he sounded quite reassuring, but the reaction he got from Ryan made him bite his tongue.

“I don’t believe you, you are going to kill me.” Ryan was completely unstable and the next thing he did was something so unexpected, they all felt their hearts drop to their stomachs.

With every ounce of energy left in his body, he attacked Abby, who was to his right, and wrapped his hands around her throat.

However, he didn’t have much strength, making it easy for the girl to pry his hands from her throat.

“Don’t make me burn you, father.”

Abby warned, as she nodded her head at Micah, asking him to stay where he was, because she felt she had it under control.

But she couldn’t be more wrong because in the next second, Ryan swatted her hands, and she lost her balance, and out of instinct she set his hands on fire, which managed to alight the scruff on his face as well.

And in his panic at seeing the very fire that took his mate’s life, the man pushed his daughter, and watched in horror as she fell backward and down the cliff, the pain from his burns completely forgotten.

“He completed his task!” A rogue suddenly shouted from the bunch that were kneeling a bit behind before the royal warriors that were equally stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Because, in the next second, they could see their king diving down the cliff, as he shifted into his beast.

“Abby!!” Micah roared before dashing in his beast form, in the process knocking Ryan, who was still frozen in his place, aside.

Only when he fell face first into the dirt on the ground did Ryan realize what he had done.

As that rogue said, he was ordered to push Abby down the cliff, but he didn’t mean to do it. No matter what, Abby was still his daughter.

He thought of taking her back with him instead, because falling down this cliff meant losing one’s life. But now, he pushed his own daughter to death.

“What have I done?”
