CHAPTER TWO

Running up the pack floor with as much strength as I could muster but I wasn't as fast or as strong so I was left behind.

“The baby is coming.” Someone yells.

“That is impossible, we have three more weeks.” Elder Maya says dumbfounded.

“What's going on?” The Alpha and Aidan make their way into the hallway and all shoulders grow tense. I might have forgotten to mention that Aidan is the future Alpha of the Ravenmoon pack, which makes the Alpha and Luna his parents.

“The Luna is in labor.” someone answers.

“I thought as much.” The Alpha winces, probably feeling his mates discomfort.

“Ivy” I hear Elder Maya call from inside Luna's room. I look towards Aidan's worried face and give him my best soothing smile before going in.

“Ivy got the Obstetrical forceps.” I rush to get the equipment passing by Clarissa and some of the pupils standing starstruck. It's their fault for not learning when they should have.

I gasp at the amount of blood on the bed the Luna is laying on, she looks almost lifeless.

“Luna Isolde, please stay awake, you cannot fall asleep right now.” The beta female says panicking and the Luna murmurs weakly.

The Alpha bursts into the room and everyone jumps. He runs towards his mate, the whole room clouds in his anger, worry and fear. All the other pupils literally fly out of the room but for some reason I'm barely affected by the Alpha. It's because I'm too worried about the Luna to care.

The next one hour minutes is spent with me running around the room following instructions from Elder Maya.

“She's bleeding too much, she's going into shock.” The beta female exclaimed.

The Luna suddenly stops moaning and goes still. The room goes quiet, everyone in shock and holding their breathe.

“We lost her” Elder Maya whispers.

The Alpha goes through many emotions, he whines desperately, then his whine turns into a growl, then a roar before he flees from the room, removing the wood door from its hinges. 

“Mom?” Aidan runs into the room. “Mother?” He repeats, too scared to move closer to the bed, I still haven't let out a breathe.

“What happened to her? She was just fine this morning.” He roars at Elder Maya.

“I-I-we.”

“Speak Elder Maya.” Aidan roars again using his Alpha instincts. I've never seen him so angry before.

“The bleeding was not normal, she wasn't supposed to go into labor today.” Elder Maya stammers still horrified from the recent events.

“So your incompetence killed my mother, your Luna.” Aidan's face turns into a nasty shade of red, I couldn't quite fix my kind Aidan into this person right now, it was surely the pain. 

“No I-, Ivy?” She aggressively calls.

“What was in the Ginseng tea you brought to the Luna this morning?”

“Clarissa made-”

“What ingredients were in the tea?” She yells facing me, her eyes burning.

“Ginseng root, water and honey.”

“It was dormant before but why do I smell a strong amount of black cohosh in the Luna's breath?”

I'm driven dumbstruck by the empty look in her eyes. “I-I have no idea, maybe Clarri-” 

“Shut your mouth you filth, I asked you to make the Luna’s ginseng tea this morning.” My mouth close and open at the accusation.

“Aidan-” I rush to call.

“How dare you call the future Alpha by his name.” The beta female roars at me and I jump in shock.

“Get out, all of you.” Aidan growls, not even sparing me a glance.

“A-Aidan I didn't-” I desperately try again.

“Get. Out.” He screams in my face and I stumble backwards. “Know your place, you mutt.” He states and my heart constricts inside my chest.

The guards come to drag me out and fear grips my very soul. “I didn't do anything, let me go.” I scream out in frustration all through the way to the pack's cell for rogues.

“Shut up your mouth you murderer.” One of the guard's hands connects to my nose and it sends me flying across the cell. 

I do not move an inch from my position as the foul smell of blood and multiple odor in the cell brings me back to the reality of my situation as sob racks through my body.

“Ivy, Ivy.” Someone's whisper wakes me up from my miserable slumber.

“Clarissa?” My eyes peel open.

“Ivy, you have to help me.” I glare at her, making sure my anger at my mistreatment shines through my eyes.

“Why should I help you with anything?” She flinches at my glare, never having seen me even close to anger before.

“You have to confess that you made the tea.” I knew what she was going to say but it still did not stop my shock at her words.

“Why should I sacrifice myself for your sake, hmm? Who are you to me that I would do you a favor?” I yell angrily at her, anger filling me for the first time.

“You bitch!! No one would believe you anyway, you are a nobody and we already have enough evidence to prove I didn't do anything, a trial will be held to prove us all innocent and clueless but there will be no trial for you because you are nothing but a lowlife omega in truth, a nobody.” She harshly says and something inside of me breaks and whines.

Elder Maya's hatred must have rum through more than I expected, I'm no one to her, not her family, no one so she would choose to save the other kids over me.

“That's not true, Aidan will get me out of here.” I weakly say.

“Aidan?” She throws her head back laughing.

“You are even more dense and foolish that I thought.” She laughs, giving me a disgusting look. “You really thought the future Alpha would have something to do with you? He was only fooling around with you the entire time you ugly bitch.”

“That's not true, Aidan wo-” I say weakly.

“If he even cared as much as cared for you, he would have gotten you out already, Aidan already found his mate stupid, the future Luna is my older sister. He was only playing some stupid bet with his friends, you know what it's called? How long will it take to make a fool out of stupid, naive Ivy?”

My heart drops at her untrue words and I turn to throw up at a corner.

“And now you went and killed his mother and sibling out of spite and tried to frame his mate's sister, how bitter and wicked can you be?” I shake my head at her taunting words. The baby also died? I gasp loudly from exhaustion and dehydration.

“At Least I'm happy for something, the pack can finally be rid of your filth.” She sneers at me before walking away leaving me in pieces behind.
