The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

"Aw, so touching," Isolde said then she burst out laughing. Five seconds later, she ordered her men to beat Anne who just curled her body and protected her head with her claws. Anne allowed herself to be beaten because she couldn't see her husband being tortured for much longer.

Seeing Anne being beaten until she was bleeding, Jack screamed hysterically while Isolde kept laughing like a maniac. Isolde walked over and partially transformed her arm into a claw. She immediately slashed Anne's back multiple times.

SLASH! SLASH!

"It's because you're so presumptuous! You dare be happy when I'm miserable! How dare you laugh at my misery?! When I'm not happy how can I let you live happily?! You have no right to be happy at all. NO RIGHT" Within seconds, dozens of slashing wounds filled Anne's body, making almost all of her fur covered with blood.

"STOP! PLEASE, DON'T HURT HER! STOP!" Jack's face was flushed, and the veins in his neck bulged out. He was very angry but he couldn't do anything. "JUST KILL ME ALREADY! YOU EVIL WENCH! I AM NOT AT ALL SURPRISED WHY LEON DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU! NO MAN IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD!!"

Jack tried his hardest to taunt Isolde to just finish him so Anne would no longer have someone to protect and she would fight back. He knew his wife was a formidable lycan. She was the strongest and most resilient person he had ever known. He knew Anne wouldn't be in this position if he weren't so weak.

This thought broke his heart. He felt like a failure of a man because he was not a lycan like her. He wished he was one, he would protect his family against them.

"ISOLDE! JUST FUCKING KILL ME, YOU WENCH!"

Isolde turned to him and smirked. She could immediately read through him and realized what Jack wanted. She waved her hand at him and mocked him. "Not so fast, fool! I want to see you both suffer. After this, I will take that little daughter of yours..."

Isolde was lying. She didn't plan on killing little Sophie because she knew how much her oldest son was fond of that little girl.

After her favorite son died, Isolde had no one by her side. She needed Leland to do whatever she wanted. She would need to keep him in check by keeping Sophie alive as her guarantee.

That was the reason why she didn't order her men to kidnap Sophie. She also didn't want Alpha Leon to smell his evil plan.

"No... Sophie..." Jack's face paled. He remembered his adorable daughter who must be worried sick that her parents had been missing for weeks. Was she okay? He had taught Sophie all she needed to know to survive on her own in the woods, but there was no way she could survive the lycans if they were targeting her.

All this time Jack and Anne were relying on Alpha Leon's promise to protect their family. However... now they had realized, bitterly, that it was not a guarantee that they would be really safe. What Isolde was doing, was obviously outside of Alpha Leon's knowledge.

No... Jack couldn't let them get to Sophie. He must force Anne to abandon him and go back to Sophie. Their little Sophie must be saved. However, Anne was so stubborn.

And it looked like, Isolde didn't plan to immediately kill both of them. Aaargghh... Jack was frustrated.

"Fuck it....!" With very trembling hands, Jack exerted every fiber of his being to pull his last strength. Trembling, he managed to pull out his right hand from the ground. He had been feeling so much pain that his nerves were slowly getting numb to it. He moved his right hand to pull the sword stuck in his left hand. "Ughh..."

Jack tried hard to get up but he couldn't move from his position at all because of the rock that was crushing his back.

"Damn, why? Why am I so weak?" Jack clenched his bloodied hands as he cried. "ANNE MOVE! FIGHT THEM AND GET OUT OF HERE! YOU DON'T NEED TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR ME!"

"GO ANNE! THINK ABOUT SOPHIE! WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF HER?! AAAAAAH! STOP! Sob..." Jack screamed and howled like a madman.

Leland held his breath. His body was shaking with anger. His chest tightened and his heart ached to see Anne and Jack being tortured like that.

Jack mustered all his strength to lift and tilt his body up, and slowly, the rock above him fell to the side. It rolled down a few meters away from him. He grabbed the sword that had been used to nail his hand.

"Even though I am your husband..." Jack's tears dripped on the sand. His body was shaking, and his hands gripped the hilt of the sword very tightly, making the wounds on his hands bleed even more.

His hands hurt, his whole body ached but his heart ached even more. The feeling of helplessness, weakness, and uselessness hurt him more than all the blows he had already received.

"... but I couldn't do anything at all. I should have been the one to protect you but… let alone protect you, I can't even protect myself," he muttered as he forced his legs to stand up. Several times he stepped back with staggering steps and almost fell.

The Lycans who had been silent for a while, watching what Isolde did to Anne, turned and were surprised to see the human standing. They rushed to hold him again but Jack immediately shouted loudly. "GET OUT OF HERE, ANNE, AND LIVE WELL WITH SOPHIE!" 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

STAB!

As soon as he said that, he stabbed his heart with the sword and ended his own life

Anne looked up and witnessed her husband take his own life. Her eyes bulged and they were filled with so much pain and devastation.

AWOOOOO…

She howled into the sky, filled with agony. The howling sound sounded like a grievous cry that gave chills to anyone who heard it.
