"Alpha Logan, have you gone out of your mind? You know all you just told Jaden were lies. I didn't harm anyone, both in this pack and in the vampire kingdom. Why did you pull such an allegation on me?!" I gritted my teeth in so much rage, stalking towards him as my heart felt like it was pierced with a thousand knives.
I was feeling pained, confused, and extremely angry all at the same time as my eyes glared at the alpha with one thing in my heart to do, and that was slitting his throat. I caught a glimpse of Jaden's eyes after what the alpha said, and the deep sadness I saw in them was something I had never seen before.
Jaden was someone who wouldn't leave me for anything, but after hearing that his own mother was brutally hurt, he couldn't bear it. He had to run off to check on her, but what battered my head was this stupid alpha accusing me of doing that. He even added that I killed Ceiline and her parents.
"You can keep denying, but here is the letter sent to me by Jaden's father. Read it and see for yourself. Jaden's mother testified that you did it, and a few of her bodyguards also saw all you did." He paused and sighed.
" I don't understand why you could go to such an extent for the demon king! Why bring souls to him and betray your people?" He spat, shaking his head in disbelief and disdain as he dipped his hand inside his pocket, brought out an envelope, and threw it at me.
So he just called the members of this pack my people? How ridiculous. After all the hell they made me go through.
I picked up the envelope, tore it open, and brought out the letter. Just as I expected, it was from Jaden's father, the vampire king. It was a message of regret and anger. How much he is ready to join hands with this pack to end me after he heard that I also harmed my people for demons.
I couldn't read everything as my heart kept aching at every word I read. It was so disheartening to see that many were killed viciously, and I was pointed out as the murderer, but what shattered my heart the more was that I was sure Laura's hand was in this.
How could she be so cruel and heartless to do all these things to innocent souls for the demon? So many innocent lives are gone just because of her selfishness and greed.
I dropped the letter and looked up to see everyone backing away from me with fear and disgust in their eyes, telling me how much they believed I had betrayed the entire wolf race.
"Laura is the one working for the demon." I muttered under my breath, knowing fully well that they won't believe me.
"Stop accusing my mate. You are the devil here!" Logan seethed.
"Traitor, just like her mother!" Callen mumbled, scared to say it audibly as he kept looking at me and drifting his eyes away anytime I glanced at his corner.
"I am not a traitor, you sissy! It's unfortunate that you won't live to become the next Alpha or will end up spending the rest of your life as a slave to demons, fool!" I cursed back at him, hating even the mere sight of him. To recall that he was once my mate made my stomach churn with disgust.
"You are nothing but a Liar! And a killer, of course!" He retorted, trying to sound confident and strong.
"This is the girl that should have been your mate if you weren't wise. I'm sure she would sacrifice you to demons if needed!" Sophia snorted, and I could only stare at their gullible minds and pity them because of how blind they were to the danger about to befall them.
"We have to ban her immediately before she kills us all. The demon is still in her. We can't let this curse stay in our land!" Laura grunted from where she sat, leaning on the wall.
"You want me to leave so you and the demon king can succeed in your evil. The alpha doesn't even know you aren't his true mate. His Luna has been caged for years while you shamelessly took her place!"
Staring at Laura at that moment, I felt so much urge to pin her to the ground and march my boot on her face till her skull shattered and her brain splattered all over the floor.
The way she let out that hideous smirk and smug smile at me only makes me burn in rage, and the very fact that all I said was seen as blatant lies while they believed her so easily was so frustrating.
"You are saying nonsense!" The Alpha retorted.
"And we all thought she only had a vampire gene, not knowing we were brooding a demonic agent. The vampire theory was just a cover for her real identity!" The Beta added, hissing in regret.
"Selene has to be banned. She might have powers, but let's see how she can kill every single wolf in this pack when we all join hands to chase her out! Many may lose their lives, but we can't allow this bad omen to live among us!" Laura blurted with a strong tone, her face so mean.
"You are right!" The Alpha replied before I could even say anything. Did he just agree to that?
"Laura is not your mate! She is working for the demons because of the help she got from them. Joy's mother is your true second mate, and Laura had her caged for many years, waiting for her death! She has a secret room where she keeps the forbidden dark mirror, which she uses to invoke the demon king. She doesn't care about this pack!" I shouted at him, kicking the table in exasperation.
Everyone in the room gawked at me like I was crazy; not a single one of them would even give a second thought to all I was saying.
At that moment, the Alpha hurried to the alarm bell and microphone. He was actually going to do as Laura told him.
"Logan, you aren't going to at least investigate all I just said about Laura? Can you give me a week to bring enough evidence to you? If you act rashly and I leave now, I swear even if you all are perishing, I won't help!"
"Get out!! Go to hell! We don't want to ever see you again!" Callen and others burst out.
"Yes, leave! Demon girl! And don't think Jaden will ever accept you after what you did to his family. You are really a devilish girl!" Sophia spat, glaring at me with a mix of jealousy.
The Alpha, who I thought would change his mind, struck the alarm bell button at that moment, and the clang echoed through the entire pack.
"You are making a huge mistake." I shrugged, but the fool hissed at me and brought the mic to his mouth.
I turned to Laura, and she stared back at me, saying nothing.
"Have you ever wondered why the demon king is making you do this to me? He is not someone to connive with because, as long as you're also a werewolf, he still abhors you from the bottom of his heart. You're helping him regain his dark powers. He will destroy everyone, and you too!"
"Stop accusing me!" She suddenly started to sob, faking tears.
How desperate can this woman be.
"I would have killed you now for all you did to me, but I want you to live and regret all your actions. I promise you, one day you will pray for death, and it will stay far away from you...that day, you will....
"This is your Alpha, everyone!! This is the time to get our land back. We can't cower and allow this demonic girl to use our lives to strengthen the demon king. Now I call on everyone to gather any weapon they can get and come out." The Alpha began to announce through the microphone.
"Together we will fight and ban her and make the ritual to prevent her from sneaking back in." His voice cut through, loud and clear.
My eyes widened as it dawned on me that he was doing this for real.
Laura couldn't hold her smile this time, a sense of victory brimming her eyes.
I looked around at that moment and realized Joy was nowhere to be seen. I don't know when she left. Where did she go to? Did she run away so she wouldn't be banned along with me?
"Joy should join her too!" Laura snapped, but they all searched around and couldn't find her.
I began to hear a faint noise and chant of war that were becoming louder from outside.
"They are out for you. It's your choice to make it easy or hard." The Alpha said bluntly, and I snickered at his stupidity.
"If I'm the same vicious girl that slaughtered so many yesterday, y'all won't still be alive now."
"Maybe it's because your master, the demon king, hasn't instructed you yet." Callen chipped in, and I couldn't hold back my anger as he had succeeded in pissing me to the core.
I stomped forward toward him, and he made to run, but I was quicker to grab his hair.
"For all the time you made my life painful, I feel such an urge to kill you!" I snarled and headbutted him so hard that one of his teeth literally fell off, with blood spilling out of his mouth as his lower lip swelled.
He cried out for help, but everyone in the room was scared of me.
I grabbed his head as he struggled to free himself, slammed it on the wall, then drew out the little knife in my pocket.
"Killer! Killer! Killer! Traitor! Leave us! Leave us! Demonic girl!" The chanting became louder and clearer outside the building, and I knew they might start trouping in soon if I don't come out.
"Don't kill my son, evil girl!" The Alpha suddenly got the courage to talk at that moment, as he realized the whole pack had gotten to the building.
"You aren't worth being an Alpha. Slave is your birthright!" I spat on Callen and drew the S line at the side of his neck with the knife while he groaned and screamed in pain and anguish. "That stands for Selene, you dickhead!"
