Chapter 657: THE FINAL TRUTH! III

Rose was breathing so heavily now, unable to understand the gravity of what she was being told.

What she was hearing.

What she even saw with her two good eyes.

So all this while Cherry has been using magic.

Not just any magic according to The flame, but dark magic.

She was appalled.

Disgusted and horrified.

Her own sister had done this to her.

The one she had looked out for despite she being older.

Betrayed her in such a cruel and brutal manner?

It disturbed her.

Broke her heart and made her question herself.

As she watched Cherry bring her hand down after displaying magic, her body trembled and her wolf senses shifted.

Cherry glared at her and said in the most cruel manner when she had confronted her.

“Do you know Scarlett didn’t just drown?

Rose was perplexed.

Scarlett.

She blinked.

Lost for words.

“Wh… uh….” She whispered unable to even form the words what.

Cherry gave a cruel smile as she stood by the large windows far from everyone now.

“Scarlett didn’t drown.” Cherry repeated. And then a menacing smile sprung on her face. “She was pushed with the intention to be killed.”

Rose felt as though her mind was going spiral

As though the earth beneath her feet began to crumble.

Her vision blurred and she struggled to compose herself.

“What?” She whispered.

It wasn’t possible.

“What are you saying.” Hildegard hissed. “I was there. It was I and Rashford, the Beta who were there with the children. No one pushed anyone. She fell. You’re lying.”

Cherry shook her head. “Maybe you should ask Coral what happened.”

All eyes turned to Coral immediately.

Rose looked at her only surviving twin daughter, standing with a cream dress and her raven black hair spread across her shoulders.

Coral stood, her eyes hovering while she fidgeted.

Coral didn’t say a word.

She simply shook in fear and looked down at her feet.

“If she wouldn’t tell you,” Cherry said. “Then I will. Coral pushed her sister into the water.”

Rose froze.

The entire room went chill as though death had walked in.

Coral said nothing.

She didn’t deny it.

She simply looked down at her feet.

And Rose knew it.

She knew it was true.

Rose wanted to rip the strands of hair from her head.

Her own daughter had attempted to kill her own twin sister.

Roland walked to where Coral stood and grabbed her arms. “Say something! Say the fucking truth! You didn’t do this! She is making up stories!”

But Coral said nothing despite how much her father shook her.

What rose noticed was Coral vehemently refused to look at her.

Rose bit so hard on her bottom lip it bled and she kept on biting hard.

She dug her fingers into her arm so much blood sprouted as she tried to deal with the realization of what this meant.

“How could you do this?” Rose asked Coral. “You were only a child. How could you do such a thing to your own FLESH AND BLOOD! YOU OWN TWIN SISTER! HOW EVIL COULD YOU BE?”

“Evil?” Coral said quietly. “I am evil? Mother have you looked at yourself into the mirror recently? Do you think you’re any better than I am? Because you pose as monarch you think you’re flawless.”

Rose blinked, taken aback by Coral’s words.

Instead of repentance and guilt, she fired back with rage.

Rose felt weak to her knees and wondered where she had gone wrong.

“You had twins! You had the both of us and yet you preferred Scarlett over me! You loved her more than I.” She screamed in anger. “I hated her. Hated her so much! All those little accidents she had from time to time. The cuts, the times she would slip and fall. When you assumed she was simply being clumsy! It was me! I hated her with the core of my unshifted wolf! And I did everything to get rid of her!”

Rose wanted to clamp down on her ears and shut out everything she was hearing but she couldn’t.

She was too horrified to.

She stood transfixed her finger nails digging into her palm as she coped with the revelation.

“And you know what? I don’t regret it! My only mistake is not killing her there on spot!” Coral spat. “I regret not getting rid of her for good. Not killing her enough. But she even went on to live and has a child and-

A dirty slap shut her.

It wasn’t just a slap.

It was a claw mark on her face so vividly you could see the red lines on her face.

It has come from none other than Roland.

He was staring down at her with so much emotion that Coral recoiled.

“You did all that to get rid of your sister.” Rose said. “When I loved you the same way. I loved you like I loved your sister. But the truth why Scarlett was around me more? I was cared of you. You were a cruel child. You wanted blood. You chose to see people, animals in pain. There was something about you. And after everything you’ve done did I eventually love you the way you expected or did I find my real daughter who has a good heart.”

Coral’s face went pale.

“Guards.” The King snapped. “Get her out of my sight.”

A group of Lycans came in and dragged out Belle.

“Don’t touch me! Don’t ever touch me!” She screamed at them. “You would never be my real mother! I hate you! That is why I chose Cherry over you! That is why Daddy fucks Cherry behind your back!”

Rose paused.

Her eyes hovered.

She thought she had heard the worst but apparently not.

“What?” She asked.

“Ask them. Ask your perfect husband who goes behind your back to fuck your own sister! What do you think of that?” Coral spat.

Rose turned and looked at Roland.

His face was white.

“Roland what is she talking about?” Rose asked him.
