31 Chapter 31: Rot in This Dungeon
“Poisoned you? What makes you think I can do that?” Jade asked, but that sly smile was
permanently pasted on her face as if she knew it was not worth trying to convince
Rock the other way. (1
It wasn’t difficult for Rock to connect the dots once he realized that his sudden rut must’ve been caused by a medicine that would stimulate it. It should be practically impossible for him to go into a rut with a marked woman. 1
And the last thing that he consumed was the tea that Jade made.
It was obvious that Lady Jade was trying to set him up so he would rape an innocent lady. But why? What did he do wrong to make her do this?
Jade raised her brow and chuckled, “Don’t give me that look, Rock. Would it be better if I admit it now? Yes, I put stimulant in that tea, so you will go into a rut and rape that woman until she’s too dirty to be touched by Gale.”
“Why?” Rock gritted his teeth. “Why are you doing this to me?!”
“You’re not the main target. You are just a tool for me to achieve what I want,” Jade replied lightly. “I thought it’d be easy for you, but it seems you are far weaker than I thought. Why else is that crippled woman still unharmed now?” 3
“YOU BITCH! YOU ARE CRAZY!” Rock tried to attack Jade, but the chain held him on the spot. “GRRHHH!”
Rock tried to break free, but the more he resisted, the weaker he felt.
“Don’t even bother trying. You already drank a muscle relaxant just now. You won’t be able to fight back,” Jade replied coldly. She stomped him on the shoulder to make sure he sat down, then added, “If you want to be spared, why don’t you tell me what happened? How come you are the one who gets wounded instead of her?”
Rock recalled the scene at the lake.
He remembered the bright light emitted from Princess Swan’s body and how she seemed to have a mysterious power that gave her an invisible barrier that pushed him away.
He wasn’t sure if Princess Swan was hiding her power the whole time because everyone thought that she was just a normal human. Regardless, there was no way i hell Rock would tell Lady Jade about this, knowing that she had a bad intention toward the innocent petite princess.

“So, you
are going to stay silent about it, huh Jade scoffed. “Did you actually fall in love with her? It’s unbelievable knowing that a crippled human can make you do something crazy such as defying me.”
“And who are you exactly? You are NOT my Luna!” Rock snapped back. “Gale didn’t mark you, so you have no right to tell me what to do. I am obligated to protect my real Luna instead, and that woman is Princess Swan!”
“SILENCE!” Jade snapped when Rock dared to pour salt on her injury. She had been bitter about it, and the more she thought about a crippled, weak human like Swan standing side by side with Gale, the angrier she felt. “It doesn’t matter if Gale still likes his human toy for now. He still has to mark many women in the future. Your sacrifice for that cripple will be in vain.” (
“The reason why I am willing to be Gale’s beta is because I stand with the strong and fair. You are neither strong nor fair,” Rock sneered. “So, do your worst. I don’t care.”
Jade knew that Rock’s life was in her hands, yet she only felt frustrated when she realized that Rock’s resolve was far stronger than she thought.
He didn’t even try to beg for his life.
“I’cannot kill you, or else Gale will suspect something. So I will make sure your life is worse than death,” Jade stated as she snapped her fingers. Two guards came into the prison cell, with one of them carrying a bottle of unknown liquid. “This is a poison I personally made. It will destroy your voice box, making you permanently mute. I will also make sure the guards keep feeding you a high dose of muscle relaxant, so you will never be able to get out of this prison or tell Gale about anything.”
“This is your last chance, Rock,” Jade said calmly. “You can tell me everything that happened at the lake and vow your loyalty to me instead, or you will defy me and rot in this dungeon for the rest of your life.”
Logically, a smart person would choose to obey Jade to save his life.
But Rock was far too proud. He was born and raised as an Alpha before he got subjugated by someone stronger than him, so he would only follow the strong, not the cunning.
He stared at Jade hatefully and spat on her, “Eat shit and die.”
Jade’s lips thinned as she stared at her dress that had been stained by his spit. She realized that Rock would never give in, so there was no point in negotiating.
She turned around and then ordered, “Feed him both poison. Then knock

Jade walked out of the prison cell, ignoring the grunts and roar coming from Rock, who was struggling to break free.
She didn’t care about that young beta. Gale had a lot of wolves that he had subjugated. Many of them wanted to be his beta, so it was never a problem.
She was more worried about Swan because she didn’t know what truly happened at the lake and how Swan was saved from a powerful werewolf in his rut.
‘Does she have any hidden power I didn’t know of? But she’s just a normal human. Nobody in Holy Achate has that kind of power, even their supposed ‘holy priests“, Jade pondered. She grew wary of Swan, but without any new information about that crippled princess, she couldn’t do much.
‘Should I poison her? No, it’d be too obvious, and I don’t know how Gale would react.
“Where is he, Jade?”
Jade raised her head and saw Gale, who was already standing at the dungeon entrance.
Gale had his arms crossed over his chest and repeated his question, “Why did you put Rock in the dungeon without my permission?”
