Jason’s p. o. v
“You don’t get to talk to me alpha because you caused this very mess we are all in. How could you do this to your mate!. To us your people!. You deserve to be stuck in here forever and die alone a miserable death.
Beca’s words rang in my head as I sniffed and lay on the cold ground.
Vincent was completely quiet, because of the wolfsbane overdose, he was fighting for his life. He couldn’t make a sound, no communication with me.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry Vincent.” I whispered as tears rolled on my cheeks. It was all my fault.
I loved my parents a lot. All I wanted was for them was to treat me right. As good as they looked in everyone’s eyes. They were monsters who did horrible things to me and Rhoyda witnessed it all, that’s why she stood by my side. Cole had no idea about it and that’s because I was protecting him from everything.
All I wanted was my parents’ recognition.
The cell door was pushed open and I heard light footsteps, but I couldn’t look up. All I wanted to do was be like that and die in peace if I was to die. There was nothing left for me to fight for. My wolf was dying and my mate hated me with her whole heart.
My hand was grabbed roughly. I looked up and met the lady’s eyes.
I remembered her, she was the Dr that had injected me something. Her injection helped the pain slightly subside, and because of her, Vincent was still alive.
“This will help heal you.” She whispered then injected me on the hand.
“It will also help you heal your internal wounds.” She said then pulled out the needle.
“Why are you helping me?” I asked softly.
“It’s not me helping you, sir. It’s the alpha, he doesn’t want you dead no matter what. I’m just doing my job.” She answered then stood upright.
Cole was standing near the entrance looking at me coldly.
“Thank you,” I whispered to him from the bottom of my heart.
He chuckled softly then moved closer and stood in front of me as I forced myself to sit upright.
“Leave.” He ordered the Dr.
“Yes alpha, excuse me.” The Dr said then quickly rushed out.
“I have news for you Jason and I’m sure you anticipated it all. Emily hates me too because of you. She doesn’t want to see me nor look at me.” He said then moved back and forth.
Because Vincent was weak, I could not inhale her beautiful scent when she walked in, all I knew was that she was marked by Cole as well. The mark on the side of her neck was very visible.
“Did you mark her as revenge?” I asked in a cracked voice.
When she was here he showed care and love for her. But I had no idea if it was genuine or not.
“Why the fuck should I answer you?” He spat seriously.
“Because she’s my mate!” I spat back.
“She’s mine as well!. Do you think I’m okay that the love of my life doesn’t want to see me!. Ace is losing it, she said if we kept on pressuring her she would have a miscarriage do you think we take that lightly.” He growled loudly, lightly shaking the cell.
He was pissed. No, he was beyond upset.
“So, she’s your mate as well and she’s carrying your child.” I whispered under my breath then brushed my fingers through my messy hair.
Why wasn’t I surprised my goddess?. It was common for identical twins to be mated to the same woman. But just for a few months, I chose to believe that the goddess held pity for me and gave me my own beautiful mate. I was wrong, I was wrong.
“You deserve to die, Jason, you ruined my life. You killed our parents and murdered….”
“Enough!” I screamed on top of my voice shocking him.
My breath was labored and my reason was far gone. I wasn’t going to shut my mouth anymore, I was going to tell him everything.
“Our parents loved you Cole, so fucking much that there was no wrong you did in their eyes. They praised you for being very strong, brave, Intelligent. l, a true leader and an amazing son. I too loved you and supported you a lot. But did you know what they were doing to me when everyone wasn’t looking?” I asked bitterly.
“Get a pair of scissors and shave me bold for you to see. I fucking have scars in my head Cole and my feet!” I screamed as I pointed at them.
“They hated me a lot. They mocked me. They tortured me, brother. Shoved silver needles in my head and legs as means of punishment. What wrong did I do?. It was because I was born weak and with the exact face as their angel. I was a disgrace born from extremely perfect beings. They did that to me for years, they starved me, rarely allowed me to call them mother or father only when you were around. They hit me Cole and whenever you asked they said what… I was training to be stronger. They locked me up in the basement and lied about me wanting to be alone. The only time I was truly happy was when I was with you my brother who stood by my side and never judged me for being weak!” I yelled with tears.
“You….., You are lying.” He answered in a whisper.
“Why the hell should I lie damn it!. I went through all that and Rhoyda saw it. Even a few of our elders witnessed it. I was going insane brother, and the more I looked at you the more I wanted to be you. That’s why I made a deal with the rogues. I wanted you dead so I could take your place and gain their love and acknowledgment. But sadly it all went wrong. The very people I wanted to be loved by were killed, and your death was in vain. I was filled with guilt even after I ran away. When I came back to our pack and figured that you might be alive, I wished you dead because I was afraid of losing my mate as well as the people I loved if they were to find out about my evil past. But that doesn’t mean I hate you, Cole, I love you and I would gladly die in your place.” I cried.
His eyes were filled with tears.
“If I find out that you are lying Jason, I will rip your heart out.” He spat then turned and walked out of the cell leaving it open.
I sat there sobbing. The whole truth was out in the open. Either way, I had nothing to live for.
