TIANA"Come on now, don't tell me that you are going to believe Alex's words over mine? That man is a liar. You should know better than to trust him. I told you many times that he wants you and that he is only doing all of these things to get us to break up. I don't want to argue with you about this. You need to come back with me. Something has happened. I need you to be back home right now" mason told me seriously. "Are you really going to force me to go with you? I don't want to go anywhere with you. Do you want to force me? Are you really going to do that to me?" I asked him. I did not think that Mason was a man who had a lot of morals. I was just saying this to see if I could use this to get him to leave me alone. I was willing to try anything as it was right now. I did not want to be anywhere with him tight now. "Come on Tiana. That is enough. You have been throwing your tantrum for a while now. You know that I love you and that I am willing to overlook everything because of t
TIANAHow could it be the Lycan king....did this mean that Alex was the one who was responsible for my father's death?!How could Alex do this to me!! He had been really scared and shaken up when he came back. He told me that he had done something wrong to me....this was what he had done wrong?! How could he even think about coming back to me when he had killed my father! And he had the guts to ask me to let him explain to me? .What was he going to explain to me when he was the one who killed two members of my family? .I was filled with so much rage that I was shaking. Why was my life so unfortunate? Why did I have to keep people who wanted to hurt me? There was no one who was on my side. Even Alex whom I thought was trying to save her turned out to be lying to me from the start. He was the Lycan king and he killed my cousin and my father! My father....I really hated the war that he treated me. I had always resented him. But that did not mean that I wanted him dead! Especially no
TIANAHelen was sitting on the couch crying and Gemma was comforting her when I walked into the house. Melanie was sitting on another chair with a dark look on her face. Mason was holding my hand while Sybil was following behind us. I knew that she had a lot of questions. I was going to tell her what was going on as soon as I could get a few minutes alone with her. "How could he die? How could he die just like that? I just don't get it. He has always been a really strong man. Nothing has ever been able to bring him down. But he just went and died for nothing. What am I supposed to do now? My husband is gone. I don't know what I am going to do with my life anymore. He doesn't deserve this! Why did he have to go? Why did he have to be there at that time?" Helen asked as she cried. I felt my heart breaking when Helen said all of this. How could Alex do this to me? What did my father do to him to deserve to die? Even if he was mad at my father, he should at least have considered the f
TIANA"Just look at the things that she had done. She is the one who caused the death of her father! It's not as if we wanted to do her any wrong. We asked her to get married because it was good for her. She was about to become your Luna. She won't have been able to meet a person like you otherwise. And you were good to her for crying out loud. If the mating ceremony had happened the way we thought it would, then this won't have happened to her father. Her father would not have died. Do you see what is going on? I just cannot believe that she would actually do this!" Gemma chipped in. "That is enough Gemma. She was not the one who told the Lycan King to attack and besides, Caesar is her father. I am sure that she is already sad enough. She's going through a lot as it is already. You saying all of these things and adding to it won't make it better. Can you please just let this go?" He asked Gemma. Melanie was the next person to get up. She pointed a finger at me. "I just don't know
TIANA""Why di you keek talking to Tiana? You should talk to me. Can you not do that? Tiana did not do anything wrong to you and you are mean to her for no reason at all you keep mentioning her. Is it because she's the one that you can pick on?" Sybil challenged Helen. It was really nice to have someone standing up for me like this but I knew that nothing was going to come out of it except a screaming match. Besides, I didn't want Helen to torture Sybil while she was here. It was better for her to stay out of her way. "That is enough, Sybil. Don't say anything to her. Please just let it be" I said. "How the heck do you want me to let this be? I don't get it. You didn't do even do anything and these people think they can walk all over you and say whatever the heck they want to you. They are doing this because you let them! I am sure that you are sad about the death of your father too. They are not the only ones who are sad. But they dare to put the blame on you?" Sybil asked me. "
TIANA"Why aren't you saying anything? You are just sitting there with a blank look on your face....what us going on?" He asked me. I looked up at him. "Well what you want me to say? I am just quiet because I cannot think of anything to say. Not at all. At the end of the day, you are still blaming me for what happened to my father, are you not. You think that it is my fault and that as long as I became the Luna then this would have been avoided".I said to Mason. Why did he feel the need to beat around the bush like this just to say whatever was on his mind? Did he not feel tired when he did this? I knew for a fact that I was tired of listening to him go back and forth on this like this. I didn't want to do it. "Well, I did not say that you were to blame. I was just laying out things that you could have done differently. You could have just trusted me. In fact, I thought they you trusted me so I don't know where all of this came out from suddenly. I was blindsided, okay. I thinking
TIANA"I had to suffer because of that and you covered it up for her. Do you still think that I will trust you after all of those things? I'm sorry but I cannot bring myself to do that," I said and shook my head. He must have really thought that I was a fool to think that I believed what he told me. He sighed. "I had no idea that you knew about all of this. If I had known then I won't have....anyway, it doesn't matter for me to talk about it now. It's all in theo past. I am really sorry. I am really very sorry. I knew then that you were just starting to open up to me. I was scared that you would stay away from me if you found out about what my sister had done to you. It wasn't because I was trying to protect her. It was because I was trying to make sure that you did not leave me. That was why I did what I did," he said to me. I rolled my eyes but I did not say anything else. Mason was so good at lying and twisting the facts to benefit him. If I had not been smart, I would have be
TIANA"But that does not stop us. We are going to arrange the funeral of your father as soon as possible. He wouldn't have wanted us to keep waiting. As soon as he is laid to rest, we are going to have our mating ceremony," Mason said. He was no longer trying to convince me. He was informing me. And his tone told me that there was nothin that I could do about this. I had no other choice than to go along with whatever he wanted me to do. "But....I ...I still don't understand this I don't get this....I thought that I would have some time....I need to mourn my father...what do you think people are going to think of me if I just went and got married as soon as my father died. I still need some time," I said and shook my head. I had to think of an excuse, whatever excuse to get myself out of this. I was not going to get married out of nowhere just because he was telling me to. No way I would do that. Mason shook his head and laughed. "Do you think that I am stupid? Or do you think th
TIANAMason dragged me through the woods. I had no idea where he was dragging me to, I just knew that it could not be some place good. "Where are we going? Let go of me! You are not going to succeed anyway! I am sure that Alex is already on his way and that he is going to stop you. You won't be able to hurt me the way that you want to!" I said firmly. "You really do have a lot of trust in that person, don't you? Well, I am sorry to burst your bubble but you are not going to get what you want! You are coming with me and that is the end of it. You know, Tiana, if you just keep your mouth shut and do what I want from you, I can still let you live. You are being such a brat and trying to fight with me. Do you really think that you can survive this?" He asked me. I was not willing to back down and do whatever he wanted. I was never going to be that willing. He continued to drag me through the woods, but someone suddenly jumped in front of us and stopped us. I was shocked when I saw w
GEMMA "I can't believe....I can't believe that your sister would do this! I thought you said that she was on our side and that she was going to support us no matter what. Well, what is this? Is this what support us and being on our side is supposed to mean? She betrayed us as soon as she had a chance! I can't believe this! I am so angry right now!" I yelled at Mason. Mason looked upset but I didn't even care anymore. We were supposed to have achieved our goal by now but things kept getting worse. "Can you please just stop? Please just be quiet okay. Let me think, you yelling like this is not going to do anything at all," he yelled at me. "I can't be quiet. What do you think would have happened if I had not been suspicious of her and sent someone to follow her? We would not have found out about this. She really went to tell Alex all about our plan! She isn't....damn it! I don't know what to say to her. I know that she's in love with Alex but I never thought that she would be
ALEX"What do you mean by you can't find her Sybil? she is supposed to be inside the bedroom. And no one else besides me knows about this place. She could not have left so easily she knows I've dangerous it is right now for her right now. So how come she is not here" I asked Sybil. Sybil was in tears now she shook her head. "I don't know. I really don't know at all. I went to the bedroom because I wanted to talk to her but I was shocked when I got there and found her that she was not there. I have looked for her all over the house but she is definitely not anywhere here. I think that someone must have taken her. There is no way that Tiana would disappear all on our own. someone definitely took her" Sybil told me. I did not want to accept it but I knew that that was the only possibility. And the only person who could have taken her away from here was that bastard Mason. I made sure that you would not know about this location. How did he even find it?!"Mason is definitely the on
TIANA"What do you mean by that question mark what do you mean by Ceaser is not my father?" I asked. Mason hook his head as he looked at me and laughed."Tiana you really did not know anything at all right? Even if Caesar did not tell you that he was not your real father don't you have any common sense at all? Do you think that he would have treated his real daughter the way that he treated you? It is because you are not his real daughter. That was why he did whatever he wanted to do to you" Mason told me. Tears fell for my eyes as Mason said this. I did not even have the energy to cry loudly. Although this was something that I have not heard before, it was not hard for me to believe that Caesar was not actually my real father. Because he had really treated me badly over the years. It went from him not caring about me in my early years to him being outrightly cold and mean to me. If I was really his child then he would not have treated me the way that he did. But if I was not hi
TIANAWhen I woke up again, I was no longer in the house that I had fallen asleep in. I was in a different room although. I looked around me in shock, wondering what the heck I was doing here. Did Alex bring me to someplace else? That was the only thing that I could think of because I could not understand why I was at a different house when I woke up This room was much more darker and it was eerie. It just made me scared. What was going on? ."Alex?" I called out, hoping that Alex would come out and assure me that everything was fine and that I had nothing to worry about. But he did not come out no matter how many times I called him It was obvious that Alex was not in the same place with me now. I was starting to get really worried. Where the hell was he and where was I?I was still worrying about all of these when the door was pushed open and someone walked in. My heart sunk into my stomach when I saw who it was. Mason! It had to be him! "You....what are you doing here?" I asked
TIANAI swear I was not thinking about hurting him at all. I just wanted to make him pass out so that I could bring him away. That way, he would not be able to tell people that I was the Lycan king and I was also hoping that I would be able to find out why Mason wanted to make you his Luna so bad. You know that your father knows this...anyway, I was fighting with him when someone attacked him from behind. I tried my best to protect him but I could not do that. Your father....he ended up dying. That person tore him to shreds. I tried to fight off the person who did that but he ran away. That person...he was a Lycan like me. But there was no way that he's the Lycan king. When I heard about the killings that happened in the pack, I knew that he was the one doing it. He was just trying to blame me for what he's done. Please, I am telling the truth. You have to believe me" he saidI shook my head. I was having a really hard wrapping my mind around what he was telling me right now. "Wait
TIANAYes... that had to be it. I had imagined it. There was no way that Alex would come save me... right?!I was feeling confused thinking about it. I could not think of any reason why he would come back to save me after all that he did. What was he trying to prove by doing this? I was still thinking about it when the door was pushed open and Alex walked in. There was a resigned look on his face. He sighed as he walked over me. I really did not know what I was supposed to say to this. He had really come to save me after all. Should I be grateful to him for what he did? But he was the one who killed my father....he was the one who killed all of those people that died. How was I supposed to let him get away with all of those things?!"Tiana....are you feeling okay now?" He asked me. He tried to touch me but I slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me," I snapped at him. "Please Tiana. I know that you are angry with me but can you please hear me out? You don't understand what is goi
TIANA"You....both of you....what are you doing?" I asked slowly even though I already knew the answer to this in my heart. How could they do this to me? How could they think about hurting me in this way....I did not deserve this for crying out loud! Gemma smiled and walked out to meet me. "Don't you already know what is going on here? You don't have to pretend as if you don't have eyes. I am sick and tired of you pretending like you don't know anything. Don't you get tired of this act of yours?" She asked me coldly. "I.....you guys....you guys are actually together. If you have been together this whole time, why did you pretend as if you were not? You should have just been together and left me alone from the start! Just what is it that you want from me that you are going this far to do it?! Why can't you just leave me alone?" She yelled at them. "You want to be left alone? I am sorry but that won't be possible. There are so many things that I want from you .....Tiana. You will ju
TIANA"And so what are we going to do then? Do you think that we should just stay here and wait for your death? Even if you don't want to think about yourself, can you please think about me? I am going to be in much more danger if you die. I think that they will just kill me so that anyone wouldn't find out about what they have done to you," Sybil said to me. I nodded my head. She was telling the truth. This was not just about me anymore. Since the second she followed me out of the hotel room, Sybil's life was now in my hands. I knew that I was coward, but I just didn't want to watch her die. "Okay....you know what....stay here. I am going to go outside and check what's going on. I'll check and see if we can actually get out of here without them finding us,".I said. She nodded her head and I set out to sneaking around the house. I walked around, acting as if I was just taking a walk so that it would not be suspicious if anyone saw me. I saw a few guards who gave me odd kills as I
