“Yeah me too. Good night Ella” said Joseph.
We turned around and walked out of the kitchen. I pretended to close the kitchen door behind me, but left it open just a little bit so I could see what she was doing.
“What are we doing right now, exactly?” Joseph mind linked me.
“There is something wrong with her, didn’t you notice? She’s afraid of something”
“Yeah, I noticed. But why are we standing here watching her like creeps?”
“I don’t know, I have a feeling that we are about to find out what she is hiding”
She was done cleaning the floor, and started cleaning the table. Her face was blank. She was holding herself together, but she wasn’t fooling me. I am a master at hiding my feelings inside and could instantly find out when someone else is doing the same.
Suddenly, she bolted towards the back door and got out into the back yard. I opened the kitchen door and followed her outside. She was kneeling on the ground vomiting and coughing.
Once her stomach was empty, I saw her entire body shaking with sobs. She wasn’t in control of herself anymore.
Joseph was about to walk past me towards her, his face was full of hurt and concern for her. I raised my arm in front of him to stop him and shook my head.
“Hold on a second, Joseph”
“Why? Why is this happening to me? What the fuck did I do in my life to deserve this for god’s sake? First alpha Grey and now alpha Klaus!” she shouted angrily.
What does that mean?
“I hate you! All three of you! I hope you are rotting in hell you bastards! What the hell am I supposed to do now? You died and left me to deal with this while I had nothing to do with it. How the hell am I going to tell alpha Klaus now?”
“Tell me what Ella?” I asked out loud.
Something tells me that my doubts were true. She knows the servant.
She got up and turned around to face us. Her face was pale and her eyes were tearful. I didn’t want her to have time to come up with a lie.
“Speak!” I shouted at her.
She flinched and said shakily barely controlling her sobs “The person who was sent to kill your father and mate by alpha Grey was my father, his name was Bill Forbes. Alpha Grey had him killed immediately after their murder to protect himself”
I expected her to know the servant, but for him to turn out be her father shocked me to my core.
I couldn’t keep the disgust and betrayal out of my voice “And you knew everything from the beginning didn’t you? That’s why you were running away from the pack. Because you knew I will eventually find out. God, and I believed you like an idiot”
She let out a sob “No, I… I didn’t know it was your pack alpha I swear to god. I never knew the name of the pack he was sent to nor the alpha. I only connected things when I over heard you talking about it in the kitchen. I’m telling you the truth I swear”
“Swear all you want Ella, I will never believe anything that comes out of a murderer’s daughter” I spit out in anger. First she managed to stab me, lied to me about why she ran away, and now I find out her father killed my family. I was beyond disappointed at myself for believing her innocence from the beginning. She fooled me and Joseph well. A mistake that will not happen twice.
“How long have you known about this, Ella?” asked Joseph in suspicion.
She paused for a second, probably trying to come up with another lie to save herself.
“4 months ago, I overheard alpha Grey and beta Sam talking about this behind a closed door. I only stopped to listen because I heard my father’s name. Before that, I never knew where my father went or what he did, I never knew how he died or where. But I swear they didn’t say anything about who the pack was. The only name I heard was my father’s”
“Do you have anything else you want to tell me?” I asked in a cold tone.
“No, I don’t”
I stared at her for a few seconds. I went to war with alpha Grey because I was absolutely sure that he was behind the murder. He always had it out for my father. He wanted what was his, but was never able to defeat him. Alpha Grey was his only enemy. While it took me months to wake up from my grief, I swore on my life that I will make everyone involved pay.
“The old alpha and beta; the masterminds about this are dead, your father; the murderer, is dead, everyone who had a hand in my father and mate’s murder is dead. That leaves only you, the murderer’s lying daughter. Close enough for me”
She stares at me in terror and asks “Are you going to kill me? “
“Killing you would be a kindness that you do not deserve. No, you need to suffer the way I have been suffering and struggling every single day without them. Pain and agony will be the only thing you feel from now on, I promise you. You will be the one paying for your father’s betrayal” I said coldly and viciously. I had the pleasure of tearing her old alpha and beta to pieces. But her father; the one I deeply wanted to punish escaped and died at the hands of someone else. She will have to replace him.
She stares at me in shock and says challengingly “No, you either kill me and get your revenge over with right now, or I will do it for you”
I could not believe the nerve she had to order me that way after everything.
I grab her by the shoulders and bring her closer to me. I was on the verge of exploding.
“You will not kill or hurt yourself without my permission. You will not let yourself be killed or die without fighting with all your strength until your last breath” I commanded coldly.
Her head automatically bowed down in submission at my alpha command.
If she stays here a little while longer before I calmed myself, I might actually shift this instant and tear her to shreds.
