No Saviour

That same day, Eugene went back home to give the news to his daughter he had ignored since she was born, but he met with the wrong person first.

Isabella saw him from afar and stood by the door to wait upon him. "My husband you are back" She gave him a typical fake hug and walked him to the living room, "please get seated I have a lot to tell you," Isabella said "Oh first tell me how you got back, I'm surprised, I thought they must have killed you" she tried acting like she care, but Eugene knew that the only things the woman ever cared about is material things.

"When they captured me they thought I was some important person in the pack and they were going to use me to trade for something, but then they discovered I meant nothing to the alpha and he won't even care if I go missing. Days passed and I was kept in their cell without food, someone snuck into the prison and released a sum of their people that was there before I can, it was like an escape, I overheard them saying rogues were involved".

"Why didn't they help you"

"They opened my cell to escape with them but I was too scared, what if I get killed"

Isabella gave him an irritated look "You're useless" she whispered to herself.

"But I was lucky, they kills some of those that ran, although some were successful. From that day they began feeding me, but the meal was really bad. Just early this morning I was released and taken by one of the alpha's direct reporters".

"It's okay" Isabella was impatient to hear what happened next or ask why he was released, she felt his story was too boring and that she had a better one, and by a better story she meant a fake story. "My daughter has been declared the Alpha's mate" she lied with a fake smile.

"What do you mean by your daughter" Eugene was confused, Isabella had no idea that Eugene had seen the alpha already and had been filled up with what was going on.

"Yes, Amelia is your Luna" she shrugged

"You got it all wrong, it's Iris" he pointed out

Isabella's smile turned into a frown, she had no idea how and where he heard that from, she was sure that the only child people knew about was her own child, she made sure since Iris's birth that nobody will know her, she was convinced that all the people that knew about the birth of Iris were old women who had passed on over the years, 'where did the rumor come from that it had reached Eugene's hears already' she thought to herself "where did you hear that from" she hissed.

"The alpha said it" ".

"He doesn't even know the name of his mate".

"Yes he doesn't but he knows it's my first daughter and that is Iris," he said.

"You got it wrong, Iris is not even your daughter, you ignored and pushed her away since she was born what makes her your daughter?" Isabella paused "Nothing" she smiled a wicked smile "So if you fancy her life and want her to keep breathing better proclaim Amelia, our daughter is your only child," Isabella said.

Eugene knew this was too big for him to bend to her will, this was bigger than him, and this was the Alpha's mate they were playing with, but what can he do, Isabella will do anything in her power to break him, he better avoid her torture after all he had always listened to her and she handled things the way she wants. "Let the child live" was all he said and left for his room.

Isabella sat back and smiled like she won a trophy. "That was easy" she inter-winged her hands "Now all we need to do is to make sure we get rid of Iris because if she ever finds out we will be in big trouble with the alpha".

"Mum? Why that smug look," Amelia asked.

"I just convinced your dad that you are his only child, which means you my dear are the first child".

"I knew it will be easy for you, Dad always listens to you" Amelia shrugged.

"Mia" Isabella called.

"Come and seat with me, we need to talk about something important" She gestured to Amelia to join her in the living room.

"What's the problem, I feel you've handled everything," Amelia said as she took her seat.

"We need to make sure to get rid of Isabella".

"As I said you had that planned already, Iris with red hair, and once the people see her they would demand her death for it's an abomination," Amelia said.

"Yes, but we should be ready to still act in line in case things do not go as planned"

"What do you mean mum"

"The red hair doesn't guaranty immediate death, sometimes they have mercy on the person and the person is banished, but we can't let banishing be, we would still need to kill her with our hands, in case they do not behead her by law and grant her mercy by banishing her, we will take action into our hands and get rid of her".

"But banishing her is still okay, she will never return. We do not have to get our hands dirty" Amelia was not as heartless as her mum but she was as wicked.

"We need to clean all evidence to secure the future, she could find out and come back to take her place, and what will be for us will be death," Isabella said.

"Okay, we will do as you say Mum" Amelia nodded.

"Good, call her for me, I want to speak to her," Isabella said.

"Okay mum" Amelia stood up and went to call Iris from her room.

"Lowlife, my mum is calling you" Amelia stood by the tiny room that was given to Iris when she was a child.

Iris crawled out of the room "Where is she" Iris asked.

"Look for her yourself" Amelia rolled her eyes and left.

Iris sighed and went to check the kitchen first, she was already used to all these.

"What took you so long" Isabella shouted out her

"I'm sorry" Iris did not dare to blame it on Amelia, she had learned her lesson from an experience like this before, if she blames Amelia she would deny it and make her look like a liar.

"Weakling" Isabella eyed her and stood up "Now this will be the color of your hair from now on, you dare not tell anyone that this is not the color of your hair, and even if you tell anyone, they won't believe you because what I used can not wash off, it's a strong permanent dye so you can't deny your hair color"

"Okay ma"

"Your father's life is on the line, if you ever defile what I ask you to do from here on, I'll kill your father"

Although Iris was not and had never been close to her father she doesn't want death for him. "Does that mean he is alive?" She asked, she knew that he had been captured by the enemy pack.

"Yes, but that doesn't stop his death, I could kill him"

"I'll do whatever you want," Iris said, not as she cared about the man either, she doesn't just want to be the cause of anyone's death.

"His blood will be on your hand if you dare me," she said and left Iris.

The night came as fast as Iris wished and she prepared to escape and go to the caves where she would meet her friends. On her way out she saw her dad at the back of the house where she uses to sneak out.

"What are you doing here," he asked

"I wanted to receive some fresh air," she said

"You are on your way out" he was the only one that knew that she always sneak out at night but he never talked neither did he let her know that he had caught her several times.

"No really, I..."

"Do not go out his night, you'll get caught" he said and went back inside.

Iris was surprised, she realized he had always known that she goes out at night, she decided to take his word and not go, as she turned she heard voices come from the back, it was Isabella and Amelia. Assuming she continued ahead she would have run into them and get caught. She quickly ran to her room and changed her clothes.

"The back needs cleaning," Isabella said

"When I become Luna, I'll use the pack housemaids to my advantage and bring them to do some work for you".

"Luna?" Iris was shocked, "why will Amelia be dreaming to become Luna".

"Except they are up to something" Iris was disturbed, she felt something bad coming her way.
