Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Kyle stumbles forward clutching his chest and Beta Eric quickly pulls me from my seat before Kyle falls forward. He lets out some low guttural sounds before he stills.
Both Luna Cassandra and my brother were on their feet.
“You…you killed him!” Luna Cassandra cries
“He deserved everything he got. I just needed to make sure that he had rejected Neah properly.”
“You killed my brother!” Luna Cassandra shrieks, rushing to Kyle’s side.
I hadn’t known that and for a split second, I felt sorry for her, until I remembered the hell she had caused me.
“You better watch your back, Alpha Dane.” She growls at him
“You don’t scare me!” He muses
“Maybe I don’t, but when you see what’s coming, you will wish that I was the least of your problems.”
“What are you talking about?” Alpha Dane demands. “Is that some kind of threat?”
“You will see.” She mutters as my brother pulls her arm and helps her get up from the floor. They both run from the room and Alpha Dane sends Beta Eric after them.
I stare at Kyle’s dead body, half hunched over the chair that I had been sitting in. I had wished for so long to see him die and now it had actually happened, I felt…..relieved.
“Are you okay? Did it hurt when he rejected you?” Alpha Dane speaks softly to me. Using his fingers to turn my face to his.
“No. But it hurt him, I saw the pain on his face.” I whisper. “He… he said it differently this time.”
“I thought that might have been the case.”
“I…I didn’t know they were brother and sister.”
“Does it matter? You are Trey’s sister and they treated you horrendously.”
“But it was me, I did kill my parents.” I mutter quietly. “I saw myself giving them the jug.”
“What did you remember?”
I tell him about the flashback, he doesn’t interrupt me once as I try to recall smaller details. It’s only when I finish that he tells me that he still believes that I was set up. The same thing he had been saying all along.
“Cassandra said she wanted you to kill her parents, I think that was an excuse. I think the plan was always for you to give the poison to your parents. She wanted to be Luna and your brother wanted to be Alpha.
“They will never know though. They died believing their daughter killed them.” I groan
He sighs at my words and before he has a chance to speak, Beta Eric returns.
“They’re gone. Everyone has gone. The pack has cleared out.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“I followed Trey and Cassandra into the trees and quickly lost their scent. It’s like they vanished into thin air.”
“That can’t be possible, Wolves don’t just vanish. Where the fuck do they go?”
“I’m assuming they have some kind of safe space.” Beta Eric shrugs his shoulders.
“Set up a search party and hunt them down. I’m taking Neah home.”
Back in the car, I feel his eyes on me, yet keep mine low. I knew he had questions, but I couldn’t answer them. I knew nothing when it came to my own pack. And it turned out, I didn’t actually know much about Wolves at all.
“You don’t have to see them ever again, if you don’t want to.” His voice is low. “As far as I’m concerned the contract is void. The one thing that was tying you to the pack, is dead.”
Lying down on the seat, I turn away, facing the back. I could still feel his gaze like it was burning into the back of my head. He wanted me to talk, but there was nothing I could say. I was too busy, remembering the last time I saw my parents and how they had looked at me.
