Chapter 5

               Shirley

“no!!" I screamed as hot tears started dripping down my face. I couldn't believe my father had died. My father can't die like this. I couldn't believe he killed him. My father is the only family I have left, and he killed him, and I couldn't help but wonder what he would do to me, the one who was said to have caused everything. 

I knew that my father may have been maltreating me, but that doesn't mean that I won't feel sorry for him; it hurt me to know that things were starting to get out of hand. It wasn't as I had hoped, but there is no way I can undo that. I have made up my mind not to forgive my friend. I will make sure he pays dearly for what has happened. 

He cut off my father's head and showed it to me. As I stared at the head of my father, tears filled my eyes. His treating me badly doesn't make me hate him, but I longed for his love, but it turned out that he would be taken away from me by my partner. I looked at my friend with anger in my eyes. 

“How could you... "How could you do this to me? Why would you kill my father?” I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.

I knew he would still kill me, but why would he kill my father? Why will he?

“After seeing the cruelty your father did to my parents, I swore that a day would come when I would do the same.” he said, and I tried hard to fight back the tears in my eyes.

“I still can't believe you; you are my mate, and you still went ahead to kill my father. I don't know why the moon goddess would give you to me as my mate." I don't care if you are my mate or not, but I will do exactly what happened between our parents. I will do exactly the same to you. "I'll kill you and show your head to your son,” I swore as I stared at him with a stern look on my face. 

Why am I crying? I have to be strong; now that my only relative is dead, I have to be strong and live for myself. I knew my tears wouldn't solve anything or bring my father back. I just have to live for myself. I don't know what to do, but I will leave it to myself. I clean the tears on my face with my hands.

“I won't give you the chance; I will kill you just as I did to your pathetic father,” my mate said, but I didn't pay attention to him. 

   

I knew nothing about what was happening; I'm just paying for what my father did. I need to tell him the truth, even though I knew he might not hear what I have to say. I was just being punished for my father's sins; my father caused this, and he put me in it.

I hoped he would believe me if I told him everything and let him know the truth. I pray the moon goddess should help me with what I'm about to say.

“I knew what my father did to you was wrong; I knew it really hurt you; I myself couldn't believe what my father did, but I did not know anything about this; my father dragged me into this,” I said, hoping he would believe. 

“Did you think I would let you go after telling me this?" I won't, if that's what you are thinking. I have sworn that you and your father will pay for what your father did to my parents. he said and inhaled sharply. 

“What am I going to do?" He didn't believe me. "I can do nothing; I should accept my fate.” I thought. I will be locked here for some time, and he is going to kill me eventually, just like he did to my father. 

“Lock her up, and watch out for her,” he commanded his guards. He walked out of the cell with his hands in his pocket, and he signaled to one of the guards to carry the box away from the cell room. 

I knew all the pack members would hate me because my father had killed their relatives. My father dragged me into this, and he expected me to pay for it. There is no way out of this; I have to pay for the sins of my father. He still doesn't accept me as his daughter. 

“He killed my father because of that," I thought as another round of tears started streaming down my face.

I couldn't believe he killed my father. I didn't get a chance to tell him how much I love him, and I couldn't get a chance to call him dad for the third time.

He killed the only relative I have; the only thing I have now is myself.

The moon goddess should help me out of this because sooner or later he's going to kill me, and I just have to be strong to the end.

“Only thing I can't forget is that my dad is the only one I have, even if he did not treat me well, but now he has killed my dad and I have no one.” I said hurtful as tears poured down my face. 

I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and I looked up only to see three of the guards walking towards me with a whip. I need no one to tell me what they want to do to me—beat me. I stared at them as they walked towards me.

“Look whom we have here," a guard said with a smirk.

“Your father was killed, and all you can do is weep." I bet she would be killed, just like her father. "Her father's head was cut off and was served to her on a platter of gold,” another said, and I felt like my heart had been pierced with a hot knife.

“Hey, stop crying. Your father won't be happy if he sees you, am I right?” he said and they all laughed. I stared at him, staring at him hatefully, and he walked towards me and slapped me, and my lips burst open with blood seeping out of my lips. I feel the taste of blood in my mouth. All I could do was to cry. They opened the cell doors and entered. 

"Let's get down to business,” a guard said, and I stared at him confusedly.

They started playing with the whip in their hands. I knew they were about to beat me, and I didn't move an inch. They walked towards me, and they started beating me.

All I could do was scream. I knew I couldn't fight them; fighting them would cause me more pain. I need one of them to tell me that they were sent by Alex.

I feel the anger and hatred I feel for him increasing.
