Family's Spoiling Kills: Reborn, I Seek Wild Revenge novel Chapter 17

Alpha Edward's POV

"Where is she?"

"She is back in her cell," my guard responded, and I nodded before signalling for him to leave. After he left, I took a long sip of the whiskey in my hand. A groan left my lips as I thought of my prey and the next torture I should inflict on her. I wanted her to see hell, and what I had just done was only the beginning.

A knock landed on the door of my chambers, and without waiting for a response, the door was pushed open, revealing my beta, Matthew.

"I figured you would be here," he said, and I sighed and took another sip of my drink. Matthew sat beside me and then looked at me with a worried gaze. "Are you okay?" he asked, but I didn't give him a response.

"The Council of Elders sent their sympathy to you," he announced, still not getting my response. We both remained silent, and I could feel his constant gaze, so I had to look at him. "What?" I asked because I knew he had something to say.

"How have you been?"

"You already know the answer to your question," I murmured and took another long sip of my drink.

"I'm sorry about your loss," he consoled me, and all I did was hum and take another sip of my drink.

Silence filled the air for a while until he spoke again.

"The prisoner, what do you intend to do to her?" he asked, asking the same question Aunt Victoria had asked.

"So many things," I responded and saw the worried look on his face. I couldn't tell if he was concerned about me or my prey.

"I met with your aunt a few moments ago," he said, and I sighed.

"She is worried about you."

"She shouldn't be," I responded, "I will be fine."

"She is scared about what you will become because of your anger and pain..." he said while I remained silent.

"Why don't you send her to the Council of Elders to be judged? I believe she will be given the death penalty."

"No!" I cut him off. "Death is not enough. How can she die while I am here, wallowing in pain for the rest of my life? No, I won't let her die. She will live but wish for death, and death will be far away from her," I stated firmly.

"But..."

"Where is her body?" I asked the first question that came to my mind. I was so consumed with pain that I didn't think of Elisa's body.

"She will be buried tomorrow. This is why I am here. I am here to inform you of her funeral," she said to me, and I swallowed in pain and took another long sip of my drink.

"I can't attend the funeral. I won't be able to watch her being buried," I said, and Mrs. Ana nodded. "I will tell my beta to see you and give you some money..."

She nodded. "Thank you," she said, and I sighed and sucked in a deep breath.

Silence enveloped the whole place before she spoke again.

"About Elisa's killer, what do you intend to do with her?" she questioned, and I took another sip of my drink before responding.

"Don't worry, I will make her pay for taking Elisa away from us," I said, and Mrs. Ana nodded. "Please make her pay, make her pay for killing our innocent Elisa," she pleaded, and I nodded. We stayed silent for a moment, and then she rose to her feet. "Can I see her?" she asked, and I knew she was referring to Amanda.

"Yes, you can," I responded and called out for a guard who rushed in.

"Take her to see the new prisoner," I told my guard, who nodded, and Mrs. Ana thanked me before leaving with the guard.
