Dad stared at me from head to toe, then from toe to the head, he arched his brow, grit his teeth, make a growl, he seemed dumbed to talk.
“Layla how could you disobey the Alpha???…How dare you take the opportunity of that battle to leave this place, do you know the damage you must have caused the alpha???” Scarlett snorted and I threw a glare at her.
“Dad, I’m sorry I went out, please forgive me.” I pleaded even when I know it is useless, like how would father forgive me? He would rather torture me more than forgiving me especially when it was an act of going against his order!
“Where do I know you went to?” He asked with his voice deep and full of disgust and contempt, my presence was eating him deeply.
“I had a walk around, to avoid anyone seeing me, and wore a hoodie cloth” I explained and he scoffed.
“She is lying darling, I’m good at knowing when one is lying, she is a bloody liar, it seems she went to see her clan!” Scarlett blurted and I turned at her with a sneer wondering if she was insane, like was she out of her mind to say such a thing in front of me after knowing I’ve found out the truth.
“Layla is that true?” Dad howled standing up from the couch having a scary face that took me aback, I was so afraid right now, Dad is the strongest of all, he’s hit on me is enough to break my bones. My heart flipped as I moved back with fear gripping me, my legs went cold.
“It is not true, it can never be true because I’m not a demon, I don’t have any clan” I pleaded the more.
“So where did you go???….” he asked drawing more closely while I whimper.
“Dad, I went to see around this town and nothing else, but you have to listen to me this last time, I know you won’t believe it because I’m the one saying this, it would sound weird and you will get angry at it, but it is the truth….” I sniffed glancing at Scarlett who had a gloating smile on her face.
“You dared to call me father…” he huffed and before I could see it coming, his lunch landed on my belly making me crash on the floor.
“That woman over there is the real demon!!!…she is in disguise and is here to destroy our pack, please don’t fall into it, I don’t want to lose you like I lost mom?!?!” I shrieked gritting my teeth to absorb the pain.
“What are you saying? have you become mad already?” he asked sneering at me, “I swear, I saw it, she also confess it to me that she would destroy us all as revenge, I know you won’t believe me but give it a try, call the sorcerer to give her that concoction to drink, you will see her real form with my heart heavy, I was so afraid of losing any of them in the hand of Scarlett yet it seems they won’t back at Scarlett then to me.
“You are trying to tell me my Luna is a demon?” he raised his brow.
“That is the only truth and the earlier you believe and give it a try, the safer we are” I mumbled and he paused like he was having some thought.
“Guards!!!” he called out and five of them rushed out, “Take her into her room and lock her up, she is not allowed to come out for any reason, the key should be given to me, he huffed and I quickly held his hand and knelt, “I know everyone including you hates me, but please don’t lock me up, please I still want to be cooking and.. ..” my words were incomplete as a hot slap slammed my face from the back, I turned and saw it was Scarlett, this made me heartburn in rage.
“I’ll expose you someday!!!” she yelled, making me laugh, “I’m a threat to you, just watch and see!” I retorted and dad could only stare.
“Evil girl, you went out to get more power from your clan so you can do evil because the torture has got you weakened, you will never succeed in killing anyone!” She scowled and I glanced at dad, he was just staring at her.
Just then, the beta, gamma and their mate walked in, “has the demon girl finally returned??… so you already got the gut to leave this house?” the beta huffed with those scary look.
“Please you all should listen to me, Scarlett is a demon, not just a demon, a strong one, she controls the vampire too, you got to believe me or face the consequences later!” I shouted at the top of my voice, This got them all enraged and furious.
The beta, gamma and Scarlett all fumed with pure anger clenching their fist, “How dare you blackmail the Luna you evil girl!!!!” the gamma growled “Did she expect us to believe that?” The beta added, “That’s how evil she can be after going to see her clan, she is calling me a demon all because we already know who she is, how can I be a demon”
Scarlett sobbed and it triggered the whole anger In the beta, He quickly took out the wolfsbane whip.
“Guards get hold of her, I’m going to lash the hell out of her!!!!” he seethed with his eyes bloodshot, I shivered and cried, I wasn’t ready for any other torture, not when I’m trying to save them from Scarlett, she was shedding tears and they won’t see it was a pretence, they all loved her and hate me, they all believed she was a werewolf while I a demon.
“Please, I know you all won’t believe me, so just give it a try, call the sorcerer to check on her, if she doesn’t turn to her real form, I’ll kill myself!!!!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice feeling my heart torn apart, that horrific dream where the while pack was wiped out filled my memory and I could experience that terror again.
If they don’t find out who she is, if no one gets to know, the dream would come to pass, I don’t know how she was able to cover her real self with a different magic, I pray they believe me but it doesn’t seem so, I’ve been spurned for so long.
My body quivered as I thought of the pain the whip inflicts on me, it takes me a lot of struggle to bear it, the pain goes deep into my bone, I can’t just understand why the hatred was this much, I could only cry and beg with my eyes because my lips were shaking, Scarlett sobbed while the beta and gamma mates soothe her with a pat on her back.
I was dumb and couldn’t even find a word to describe my feelings, Dad was saying anything, I can’t even tell what is going on in his mind.
“You dared to say such words to the Luna and now she is hurt, when we fight with the rogue who had become more powerful, she stood at the front and was ready to fight with her life, you still dared to call her a demon!!” The gamma yelled and also brought out his whip, Oh, no….. I cried and shook in horror. The guards rushed and held me tightly with my back free and open for the whip to lash on, I pray I survive this, I caught a glimpse of the whip raised and shut my eyes to receive this intense pain.
“No one should touch my daughter!” We heard the voice of Alpha Dolph Kellen, My Dad and everyone turned in shock… Am I dreaming??…he just called me his daughter!!!
