“I saw…. I saw the lady who got into your chamber that night and killed the young Luna,” her voice a little shaking.
My brow rises as I gaze right at her. “And who was it?” I’m trying hard not to show my aggressiveness. It will only send more fear down her spine.
“Your mistress, lady Jasmine. She killed the young Luna and ordered the execution of all of us who saw what happened that night. I barely managed to escape for my life and I’ve been living like a shadow ever since.”
“Are you trying to joke around with me!!?” I roar, about to rise in anger, but Bronson holds my hand. Urging me to put my anger in check.
“You will scare her off,” he whispers
Planting my butt on the seat, and clutching the right handrest of my throne in a fist, my forehead creases as my eyes narrow. “And if your information is false?” My nostrils flare in anger.
“You can have my head, Alpha,” she puts her life on the line.
My lips drag in a nasty smile as I stare at the lady who has decided to pick death over life. Accusing Jasmine, who wasn’t around the night of the incident, is a crazy thing to do. But this lady just did.
I can only find out the truth about what this day speaks of when I have a conversation with Jasmine.
“Get her locked up,” I give my order as I push myself up from my seat and storm out.
Bronson and Ryder follow closely behind me.
The door to Jasmine’s room flies open as I angrily push it with a thud. Barging into her room, she flinches in shock as her eyes meet the three of us. It’s been a while since I came to her chambers. I hate visiting her, but this was important.
“About that night, Jasmine. The night the young Luna died, where were you?” The first question I ask. My body is trembling with wrath.
“What is this about, Alpha Bl….”
“Fucking answer my question, Jasmine, or I rip out your tongue!!! Where the fuck were you that fucking night!!!?”
“I…. I. I went to a friend’s place,” she is fucking lying to me.
I can sense it whenever something is fishy with her. Jasmine is damn lying to my face.
“Jasmine!!” I storm forward, clutching her neck. My wolf roared in anger, trying to take charge of me. He knew she was lying to us, but I couldn’t dare let him take charge. He will end her life right this minute. “Did you fucking come to my chamber that night and killed the young Luna,” my claws stretch, piercing deep into her flesh, hurting her skin.
My wolf was going crazy in my head. His anger is ready to explode and if Jasmine doesn’t speak the truth, my beast will take over. No one dares to fool around with him.
“You… you’re hurting me, Alpha Blade,” she lets out a strain, gurgling cry.
“Did you visit my chamber that night?” I clutch even harder. My sight is becoming blurry, my head slightly spinning from holding back my wolf from taking over.
“Yes, Alpha. Yes. I..” The sound of her voice is like a dying breath. “I killed her that night.”
“You, what?” My fingers free her neck. My eyes widen in shock as I gaze at Jasmine. “You aren’t saying the fucking truth, right?” I can barely ask the question.
Her hands hold her neck as she coughs hard, breathing heavily. “You can’t blame me for it, Alpha Blade,” she speaks out the moment her breath becomes stable.
“What!?” My brow rises, my eyelids flicker in disbelief. Her audacity was stinking.
“That Luna was taking my position in your life and I couldn’t let it happen, Alpha Blade. Yes, I took her poor life and changed your fate that night. I don’t regret doing it, cause it’s my right.”
“What are you saying, Jasmine? You…. Fuck!!” My palm drags through my face to my hair in frustration. “You didn’t fucking think about your punishment. The consequences when I find out the truth. How could you be so dumb?”
At this rate, I don’t know what to think anymore. My heart is racing in anger, and every part of me is vibrating. I feel like just holding Jasmine’s neck and causing it to snap. That’s what she deserves, but…
“If you want to punish me, then punish Leona also for what she did to you. She killed your kid sister, but you went around loving her instead of making her pay for what she did,” Jasmine blurts out.
“What rubbish are you saying trying to drag Leona into your madness,” I exhale sharply. I’ve gotten enough of Jasmine’s madness today.
“I was there that night, Alpha. Leona stabbed your sister and set that house on fire. She didn’t know the fire would also catch up with her. Alpha Arthur knew the truth and chose not to save Leona who was also stuck in the fire that night. This was the reason he ended his relationship with Leona. But what did you do, Alpha Blade? You picked up a rivalry fight with Alpha Arthur for treating Leona badly and then you embraced your sister’s killer cause of your emotions,” her lips ran.
The whole of me becomes weak causing my feet to stumble. Bronson and Ryder hold my arm, preventing me from falling. My head is spinning badly, my heart keeps pounding in my chest. I can feel the sharp pain in my heart, a pain that’s ripping every part of me into pieces.
This is too much information for me today, and I don’t know if I can take this. So all this while I kept hating Alpha Arthur over his actions towards Leona, my sister’s death was his main reason.
He knew I would be so stupid, and not trust and believe him. I picked my friend over a woman, and hated him for years. On different occasions, Alpha Arthur had tried to speak with me about the truth, but I kept pushing him away.
But why didn’t he make more effort, rather than giving up on me? This is fucking crazy. The fact my sister called me before her life was cut short and was trying to speak to me about Leona. That was when I heard screams and the call tripped off.
Just why didn’t I fucking think of things this way? Leona!!!!….. She fucking crossed a line she shouldn’t. Making her pay is an understatement. Her parents will need to pull all the Lycans together to be unable to stop me.
“Alpha Blade, this is a very delicate situation. What should we do?” Bronson asks.
Pushing myself out of Bronson and Ryder’s hold in anger, my throat drags, swallowing hard, trying to control the tone of my voice. “Take Jasmine away and lock her in the pack prison. She must face the consequences of her actions,” tears prick the corner of my eyes as I give out the order to Ryder.
As for you, Leona, I’m coming for you.
