CHAPTER EIGHT - Framed 2

Peter's POV 

I furrowed my brows and gritted my teeth as my palms clenched into strong fists, to the point I could feel my claws digging into my skin, letting blood flow out.

Suddenly, I pushed my Dad forcefully away from Anna, my blood staining his white top.

“What the hell?” I roared, “How dare you lay your hands on her!” I glared at him, threatening to land a punch on his face.

My Dad's eyes widened, and everyone in the room was stunned by my sudden action; I knew they saw me as a disrespectful son, but I didn’t fucking care about that.

My Dad has no audacity to hit my mate in front of me.

He scoffed as he glared at me, not believing the fact his son would fight against him.

“How dare you fight against your father!” My Mum bellowed as she slammed her hand loudly on the table before rising from the couch and walking towards us, her palms into fists. 

“Why would you protect this witch you call mate, hmm? After what she has done to Charlotte!” Mum yelled, glaring at me before her eyes moved to Anna, whose hands were still placed on her bruised cheeks.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Mum?” I tightened my jaw as my anger fueled up.

“What do you mean Anna hurt Charlotte?” I moved my glare to that bitch.

So this was her scheme huh? After I’ve warned her never to come after my mate again.

“Baby.” Charlotte spoke before flinching her body to the medication, “Take it easy, damn it!” She moved her gaze from me to the doctor then back again.

“She attacked me, honey.” She spoke to me, making me get more irritated.

“What the fuck are you saying, bitch?” I shouted at her.

“Don't you raise your voice at her, Peter,” Mum’s voice cut through the tension, sharp and commanding.

“Don't tell me that, mother. Anna was with me and Thea the whole time, she didn't attack Charlotte.” I told them, but of course, they were too foolish to believe me.

“No, honey!” Charlotte yelled at me, “She attacked me-.” 

“I told you never to call me that, has your brain lost more nuts to remember?” 

I interrupted her with her stupid false accusations against Anna.

“The last time I saw you, you didn't have a scratch on you. How come now when Anna was with me after our meeting, you’re pointing your injury to her.” I furrowed my brows in confusion, my voice firm.

As the drama kept going on, Thea spoke,

“Well this was fun… but I’ve had enough.” she chuckles, “Mum, Dad, Charlotte lies, but her reputation as princess of a goddess-forsaken land and-” 

“Would you shut your mouth up!” My Dad yelled at her, “Go to your room, Now!” He pointed up the stairs.

“Don't worry, Dad, I was already planning on leaving anyway.” Thea shook her head slightly before she went away from the living room.

“Peter,” Charlotte called, “After the discussion between me, you, and Anna, when you left, I tried to warn Anna never to come near you, but she attacked me, injuring my perfect skin.” she pouts

“What the fuck?” I yelled at her, “If you are going to lie, you should at least try to put more effort into it.”

I knew the only reason why she cooked up this lie was because Mum and Dad would believe her, and they were looking for ways to kill Anna.

“Mum, Dad… you guys aren't that naive to believe this right?” I asked the two glaring faces in front of me.

“Can you see what you’ve done?” My Dad spoke, his voice sounding firm and filled with anger, “Because of your foolishness, you accepted this…this… thing brought her home, and now she is causing havoc in this mansion.” 

As I stared at Anna, I could see her face turning pale as my Dad's words pierced through her heart.

“Please… please stop,” Anna spoke suddenly, her voice breaking, as tears flowed down her cheeks. “I did it… I attacked her… I attacked Charlotte.” 

When she said that, I furrowed my brows in confusion and my face etched with concern. What is she doing? Why is she lying?

“Anna… what are you doing?” I whispered, looking at her face streaming with tears that slowly broke my heart.

“I can't anymore, Peter.” She whispered, “I can't keep up with this, I’m the one who brought this problem from the moment I came here.” more tears left her cheeks as she spoke to me.

“You see!” She confessed,” My mum said, “Guards!” 

Two guards rush to the living room at my mum's call.

“What do you think you are doing mum?” I asked, my face etched with a mixture of pain and anger.

“Because of this treacherous act this witch has committed, she is going to die. Guards! Seize her.” My mother spoke, anger lurking around her voice.

“Oh fuck no!” I shouted, unable to control my rage, “You will do no such thing.” 

“Release her now!” I yelled at the guards, who obeyed immediately.

“Seize her.” My Dad ordered them again, “I want her dead now!” 

As the guard’s claws drew out, he dug into Anna's neck, her pained groan tearing through the room. 

“If you do this, I promise you, I will destroy this kingdom,” I yelled at my parents. I could see Charlotte with a smirk on her face, her plan to get rid of Anna was working.

“Let her go,” I shouted at the guards before my fingers grew out of my wolf claws.

I gritted my teeth tightly as I launched at them, pushing off the guard and hurting Anna before I started to swing my claws at his body.

“Peter!” My Mum screamed at me, but I ignored her, Mike had taken over.

I pushed the guard to the ground, swung my claws in his face, and disfigured it, then I buried my claws deep into his chest, ending his life right then and there. 

As I rose, blood dripping from my claws, I turned to face my parents. 

"This is only the beginning," I growled.

“Now… let her go,” I yelled at the other guard, still holding onto Anna.
