Chapter 67 Fallen Innocence
Chapter 67
Rosa's pov
The door suddenly creaked open. I walked into the room.
I had to disguise myself as one of the maids coming into my target’s room with a tray of fruit juice and roasted pork beef stew.
Don't ask me how I knew that. I saw it on the kitchen wall and picked up a plate of food and fruit juice on the kitchen counter.
Thankfully no one saw me when I was coming in. Like the moon goddess set aside such a special night for me. Tranquility reigned to the point that I could hear how my heart did her thing.
It was dark around eleven pm.
I shut the door of her room behind me. The drizzling sound of the shower over shadow the creaking of the door. And the voice of a young she-wolf hit me in the chest. Her voice, angelic, maybe this was one of the reasons Ryder chose her.
Ryder should have rejected her if truly he knows what is good for him.
I looked around the room and it was partially dark. A flickering blue bulb illuminated a corner of the room.
I put down the food, and tossed it to one side . The creak sound hit me as it scraped the polished floor.
I stretched my hand to the wall. Forefinger on the switch. Off. Then darkness reigned, only the reflection from the moon reflected into the room via the window panes.
I reached for my knife which I took from the kitchen counter. My hand reached for the handcuff which I had kept in my inner pocket and curved it to open the end of my right hand.
I pulled out my gun. This would be needed for control, precision and silence . How I wish I had gotten hold of Silencium-9. This would have made this mission smooth and sweet.
My fingers tightened around the knife. Then hot steam crawled out from the bottom of the bathroom door.
The soft humming voice of Astra floats in the air.
So calm. So wrong. So unaware but the job needed to be done.
I pushed the door open, quietly, the creaked sound cut through the emanating from the bathroom.
Astra stood under the steam shower, backing me.
Her pregnant stomach. She was rubbing her hand on her stomach in a slow circle.
This should have been me until the healer gave me and Jax the most heart wrenching report of our life.
I looked once more at her protruding backside. She looks damn captivating. I felt like sleeping with her before sending her to the afterlife.
Then I lifted the knife.
She turned,
R…Rosa!” She flinched.
My hand froze in the air like a Statue of justice in the elders court room.
Noo…
This is not possible. I looked at those eyes. Those small but pointed noses. That little scar on her forehead. It struck resemblance.
Astra Wolfart… She spent her primitive years at stormfang pack. She was my seat mate at the pack academy back then. Memories of how she used to share her meals with me watched over me.
Moon goddess… what the fuck…” the world hung in my throat.
What… are … you” she managed to speak. But immediately she saw what was in my hand. Intense fear overwhelmed her.
I should have worked away. Maybe spared her. Then tell her that someone had paid for her life. That her sins are forgiven and watched off just like the rain washed off debris
But my heart was hardened as rock, it was no longer mine. Just primarily designed to do evil… Though only at the moment, not forever.
It belongs to revenge and pure rage. It belongs to the betrayal that Ryder carved into my chest.
I stepped closer to her determined feet.
She trembled. Her eyes blinked like lilies on the river 's surface.
Sh…” my forefinger laced on my lips. “On your knees.”
R… Rosa …please …” she begged, “who asked you to kill me… I promised to give you a double portion of whatever you were paid… please spear…”
“Quiet… go on your knees and cuff yourself up.”
She trembled as she knelt on the floor carrying my instructions rapidly. I watched water dripped from every corner of her body.
I drifted closer to her, my left hand held the gun.
I didn't want to do this,” I whispered, sorry, but I had to.
My voice cracked a little but my hand didn't.
Like a hot knife through butter.
Fi…fi…fi..”
I stabbed her speedily three times at one part of her neck.
Pl…please Ro…”
I detest when my name emanated from her mouth.
Before she could finish calling my name to alert any suspicion.
I thrusted the knife dipped into throat, cutting deep her voice pipe and anything that would make her utter my name.
She held on to her neck struggling for breath. Blood gushed out like a burst pipe coloring the white wall tiles
Her eyes bulged out. Cold tears of death dropped from her eyes.
As she was going down gradually like a falling tree in the forest, I wasn't pleased. I quickly thrust the knife deep into her lower abdomen, pulling out everything hiding in that stomach, but I could only see blood and the remains of a foetus coming out.
Her body fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Still, I wasn't satisfied, then I stabbed her face, her breast and every part of body until she was no longer recognizable.
I stood there over her dead body, for a moment, a warm shower pouring over both of us. I felt accomplished , like I had conquered the world. The red water swirled around my feet before finding its way into the drain.
“If I could expose my own blood to fate more humiliating than death, then who are you Astra Wolfart?”
I picked the knife and tucked it into my back pocket.
Then a big knock at the door.
Bang… Bang… Bang…
I turned, my heart skipped.
My Luna you drink is ready, Can I bring it now?”
