__NATE'S POV___
I refused to believe what Jessica had said about my mother. Even though she can be callous and very wicked sometimes, I refuse to believe that she can actually have a hand in planning someone's death and not just anyone, the death of my own side. What kind of mother does that? I don't believe she can do that. My mother can't.
I know she and Jessica are extremely close these days and I can't seem to figure out why but it looks like this is the reason. They want me to get married to her so mom can continue ruling as the Luna from behind the scene. Mom has been trying to force Jessica on me for a while now and while I don't exactly like Jessica, she's a good fuck so I let her stay. That's basically all she's good for anyway. It's not like she's extremely brilliant or very pretty, she's average on both and can pass off as below average w
ROSE'S POV____When I called Jessica a minion, she hissed at me like a cat and made for me but a look from Mary stopped her from coming for me. She looked at me like she was about to come scratch me to the point of killing me and I giggled inwardly at her annoyance. I wanted to put out my tongue but I know that will be extremely childish of me. And it wouldn't even make sense in this kind serious situation and I want this to be taken seriously, so I relaxed my face and tried to look as calm as possible.While my face is calm, I'm boiling on the inside and it's taking all of my willpower to stop myself from shifting. I know if I give Bessie the opportunity to come out and display her rage here, I'll be wanted for the murder of the Luna of one of the most powerful packs in the entire state."Leave
_ROSE'S POV____It was extended silence for a while. Kenneth looked shocked like he is surprised that his son can ask his wife that type of question. Ralph doesn't even seem like he is surprised. Infact, he's taking this like he's already used to it. Mary turned to look at Jessica who shook her head fervently and sobbed silently. She turned back to her son and looked him up to down and then back up before replying."What do you mean by your question?" When have I ever tried to kill your miserable little wife or even ordered it?" She didn't answer the question, she's evading it which means she definitely knows about it and doesn't want to admit it."Don't try to cover this up, Mary. We have proof that you know about this. Your minion over there gladly provided us with the proof because she didn't
ROSE'S POV___Silence reigned as we wait for her to finish drinking her water before she continued. I don't know where the story is going but I have a feeling I won't like it. After resting a while, she continued what she was narrating, addressing me."For three entire years, your mom didn't have a child while my own child was growing, I was elated thinking she is maybe barren and I could only think of how good it was and that your father would be regretting his choices. I got to know that she was pregnant with a pup soon after and I became bitter again. When she gave birth to you, a beautiful baby with a mixture of both their looks, I was jealous because you would have been my baby instead of theirs. I resolved not to have anything to do with your parents anymore until I heard that your father has become the Alpha of his pack. I knew it was only a matter
_ROSE'S POV___My voice must have either contained a lot of authority or emotion because rather than argue with me like they usually would, they all filed out one after the other after saying hi to both Nate and I. Aunt Mel and Uncle Jack both mirrored the same expression: confusion. I don't think they've ever heard me talk to any of my siblings in such a way. Most of the time, I'd be pleasant about making such a request, but I was already frustrated and annoyed as it is, so I don't have the time to be polite."Is everything alright, Rose? Nate?" Aunt Mel asked. She is already looking better than ever which means her recovery rate is very good and high and she'll be able to go back home sooner than we expected. I might still have to go to see the doctor to confirm, that is if James hadn't gone there yet. Even if he had, I'd still have to. There are
ROSE'S POV___There are two things that's happening right now. It's either Mary was lying or Aunt Mel was lying. One of them have to be lying about what actually happened those years ago. First I was told that Mary and my dad were dating and planning to get married and now, dad hated Mary? I'm getting extremely confused and I hate when that happens."What do you mean he hated her? Why then did she tell me that they were both in love? She lied? I don't know who to believe right now." There's only one way to sort this out, both of them have to meet and tell their sides, eventually one of them will yield and say the actual truth. I stood up from the chair and went to the door."Where are you going to?" Uncle Jack asked. He's been watching, alongside Nate, lost. I'm sure he doesn't know anythin
_NATE'S POV___If I had said I wasn't surprised or even shocked about the events of the last two days, then I'm nothing but a liar. From finding out that Jessica and my mom were planning on killing Rose to finding out that mom and Rose's mom were best friends before and Rose's dad was actually mom's boyfriend before.Hearing my mom talk to Rose about this and ending it like that, with Rose already in tears made me extremely angry but there was nothing I could do about it. I can't exactly fight my mother now, can I? I left with Rose and I watched as she tried so hard to fight back the tears that were already dropping. I consoled her and she asked that we go to the hospital to see her aunt.I dropped her off and sat in the car, preparing to wait in here for her until she's done but she asked
__ROSE'S POV____"I was just being polite and you know this. You actually do look like shit right now. Other than the fact that you're sick, you look like you always have, terrible." I looked at Aunt Mel when Mary said this, to gauge her reaction but it seemed like it's something she's used to. This must be their way of bantering."Oh, please, you flatter me. Everyone knows you're the furthest thing from polite. You don't have to pretend here,"Aunt Mel said to her in response. Ok, this must be how they banter then. If feels like it's something they do quite frequently."Let's leave the pleasantries behind, what do you want?!" Trust Mary to go straight to the point. One more minute of them bantering in form of pleasantries and I might have to call them to order myself. We need to get t
__ROSE'S POV___Everyone seemed to realize what happened the same time. While everything was going on, Nate had been on a call with the police. Since his mother didn't know this, she kept talking and confessed everything. Although they didn't hear all of it, the little they heard was enough for them to charge both Mary and Kenneth with murder and attempted murder respectively.Mary looked extremely furious and I'm sure if she wasn't held down by the officers already, she'd be scratching at him or even have committed another murder, this time, of her son. She doesn't want to go willingly though and resisted being cuffed. Kenneth was already cuffed and following one of the officers but Mary wouldn't have it."I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you taking me? I refuse to go anywhere with you.
