Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Trailing hot kisses

"You should kill me," Zilia said, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes. "But I cannot speak of my master. I swore an oath."

Casaio’s expression darkened. Rage surged through him like wildfire. "You think I’ll show you mercy because of what we once shared?" he hissed, his eyes flashing a dangerous crimson red. He seized her throat with one hand, tightening his grip until her breath hitched.

Zilia didn’t resist. Her body remained still, eyes fluttering as her windpipe was completely crushed beneath his grasp. She looked as though she had surrendered to her fate.

"I found the pictures. The envelopes. Hidden in your home." Casaio leaned in, whispering against her ear as his fingers slowly released her throat. "You are a spy of the Blood Dominion Pack. And that man in the photographs, the one you played your little love games with, I’ll find him. I’ll make you watch as I tear him apart."

"No!" Zilia gasped, shaking her head desperately as the tears finally fell, streaming down her cheeks. "Please... I beg you, don’t do that."

"I will," Casaio said coldly. "I gave you a chance to speak the truth. You spat on it." His eyes searched hers, as if wondering why he trusted her so much. "What was it that blinded me so completely? What made me trust you so deeply that I failed to see the betrayal growing right beside me... against my family, my kingdom?"

Zilia simply stared at him. "Just kill me," she pleaded and lowered her gaze. "I won’t open my mouth, Casaio. I am of no use to you," she stated.

"You will die after I find the man I mentioned earlier. Brace yourself for what is about to come next," Casaio said and shoved her back.

Zilia didn’t have much strength left in her body, and she stumbled to fell on the floor.

"Karmen!" Casaio called for the beta.

He arrived there in seconds and saw Zilia on the floor, crying and sobbing.

"Lock her in the dungeon. And..." Casaio paused as if he feared to speak those words, "start the torture. Show no mercy until she tells the reason why she approached me." He gave out clear instructions without looking at Zilia.

"I will do it, Alpha!" Estelle’s voice echoed in the living room. She bowed to the prince and grabbed Zilia’s arm tightly.

Casaio allowed her to and turned his back on Zilia, who glanced at Casaio for the last time.

Estelle stood in the dimly lit dungeon while her eyes remained fixed on Zilia. The former spy hung limply by her bound wrists, suspended from the ceiling with no support beneath her.

"Prince Casaio is still being merciful," Estelle said, stepping closer. "You were with him for ten years. That’s the only reason you’re still breathing."

Her eyes drifted to a table lined with iron rods laced with wolfsbane, glowing faintly with a sickly green hue. She picked one up, bringing it close to Zilia.

"But I’m his beta," Estelle continued, her voice unwavering. "And I must protect him, from traitors, from threats, and especially from the ones who knew exactly how to get close."

Zilia lifted her chin, blood crusting the edge of her lips, but her voice was steady. "You think I’ll break? That I’ll tell you the truth?" she scoffed. "None of you will get anything from me."
