Chapter 7

My heart was thumping in my ears as I opened the door with sparse breathing, it wasn't locked.

My heart dropped down into the deepest tunnel of despair and my eyes widened in absolute horror.

Stella was on the bed half naked with Liam hovering over her. His hands were all over her as he was kissing her.

My stomach churned in disgust and anxiety as I felt like throwing up.

Liam's head whipped in my direction and he peeled himself off of Stella as he hurried out of the bed and approached me.

I was frozen on the spot. My heart jackhammering in my chest with such force I was sure it would burst out of my ribcage any second.

Stella hurriedly wore her shirt as she got out of bed as well. Liam stood in front of me as he gently grabbed my arms, there was fear swarming in his brown hues.

"April, baby-"

He was about to grab my hand when I slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands," I hissed sharply as tears stung the back of my eyes but I refused to cry. 

“Listen, April, you are the one I love, I did treat her as my sister, she's sad, I just want to comfort her, I don't know how things went like this… believe me April,” He croaked.

He looked at me pleadingly as if he still loves me. Maybe he loved Stella all along but what about all those sweet memories I had with him? He just can't love both of us. He fulfills all of Stella's requests but I never knew that things have escalated to such an extent between them.

"You make me sick," I gritted through a clenched jaw. A sharp sound of a slap resonated in the grim silence of the room as Liam cupped his cheek, stunned.

I slapped him.

"Do you think of yourself as a master? You're just a mobile blood blank, the free slave of our family. Why do you think dad wants you to marry Liam?" Stella snickered as Liam gave her a death glare.

"Enough Stella," Liam gritted out.

"Dad wanted you to give birth to more blood banks for our family Rosess!" Stella said venomously as she stood face to face with me.

My chin quivered at her cruel words, but rage took over as I pushed her away.

Stella let out a gasp as she stumbled back, her eyes fluttering close as she fell to the floor with a thud losing her consciousness.

I watched her stunned. I knew I didn't push her with such force that she went unconscious, because I could barely stand with the energy left in me.

"Stella?" Liam dropped to his knees beside Stella as he cuddled her head to his chest trying to wake her up but no matter how many times he called she wasn't opening her eyes.

"Stella, wake up." Liam's voice held panic as he patted her cheek but Stella was unmoving.

Liam slowly looked in my way and my heart trembled in my chest as he glared at me with malice. The pressure of his Alpha gaze forced me to my knees. He looked deranged, the maniac look in his eyes rattled me to the core.

The very next second he was yanking me towards Stella roughly as I struggled. "Stop," but he didn't listen. He ripped my sleeves before grabbing his pocket knife and sliced my skin in one brutal cut. A cry of pain tore through my lips as he put it to Stella's mouth, my blood flowed down the corner of Stella's mouth. He squeezed my wound so hard that I cried, asking him to stop.

After my first wound he couldn't squeeze out enough blood. He cut the second... the third... the fourth.

Black dots started to appear in my vision.

"I...I'm p...pregnant... p...please... I beg you, stop. I'm pregnant with your baby." I was begging pathetically, I wanted to bring him back to his senses by telling him about the baby, I must save my baby.

Liam continued squeezing my wounds, I was not sure if he didn’t hear it or he just didn’t care about it.

Frea came out to save me as I started to shift but Liam forced my wolf back.

"Why the f*ck you hurt her?" Liam snickered like a crazed beast.

"Stella, please… don't leave me." He pleaded to the unconscious Stella.

"I...I'm pregnant, Liam.Stop, you’re hurting our baby!" I cried out. I couldn't feel my arms anymore. I felt cold. It was as if my body was giving up on me.

"How dare you f*cking hurt my step-sister," He growled.

Blood wasn't flowing out of my arms anymore. There were cuts and blood everywhere. 

I could barely sit on my own if not for him roughly keeping me in a sitting position.

Liam ripped my dress from my shoulder as he cut my shoulder. A shrill scream of pain tore through my lips as pain so vicious engulfed me. The blood dripped down my arms to Stella's lips.

The cut was so close to my carotid artery. By the looks of it, I was sure he would kill me to save Stella.

I was screaming and screaming but my throat was so dry because of screaming that no words escaped my lips anymore.

I could hear footsteps and there were gasps behind me. I could faintly hear the pack members begging him to let me go. The Beta grabbed Liam's shoulder to stop him but Liam pushed him with such force that he hit the wall and collapsed.

"We must get someone to save Luna," Someone said as he ran out of there.

I could still hear them begging Liam to let me go. But Liam wasn't that same Liam anymore.

"P…please, my baby…," I croaked out in a broken voice but he paid no heed to my words.

"LET HER GO!" I heard a thundering growl and the next thing Liam was pushed off me. I barely noticed a huge man punching Liam on the jaw knocking him off for a few seconds.

The man came to me as he picked me up in his strong arms. I was almost lifeless. I was certain I would die tonight. My teary gaze collided with the ocean hues. Concern and wrath were swarming in his eyes.

Was he my angel of death? Did he come to take me to heaven?

"April, stay with me." Even his voice was a deep timbre.

"Give her back," I could hear Liam yelling from behind but my angel didn't stop walking. Then I heard someone say Stella had opened her eyes, Liam stopped chasing.

I stared at my death angel as black dots started to invade my vision.

Before I could fully succumb to the darkness. Frea cried out in my head. 

'We lost the baby.'
