Chapter 2 Is too late!

“You can’t do that!” I growl at him. “This is a set up!” but he just left, dragging Lexie after him.

“Just a moment,” she says. “I need to ask her something.” she excuses herself.

“I am not leaving you alone with a criminal” Adam says and let me tell you. He is the criminal here, because he is killing me with his actions.

“She can’t hurt me anymore” Lexie tells him and gives him a nod . “Not now when I know the truth. Please” she begs him with her fake fucking soft voice.

“I will give you five minutes and if you are not in bed, Lexie, I swear to the goddess that I am going to beat you.” he commands her but she just smiles and kisses his cheek.

“I promise, my Alpha”

“Fucking bitch!” Kelly growls “She is doing it on purpose!” and she would like to transform and kill Lexie , but she can’t even heal me.

“So?” Lexie asks me as soon as we are alone. “How is it to lose everything?” and she starts to laugh like crazy.

“Why are you staring at me like this?” she asks me, mocking me. “You were such an easy target,” she says, wrapping her arms at her chest. “

“You framed me out!” I told her while I supported myself on a wall so I could sit on my feet. “This is your work” I say and I know that I am right and for the first time in my life , my heart is full of hatred. I hate Lexie Banks. At this moment I even hate Adam for not believing in me, for hurting me so badly.

“Of course it was my work. I saw Adam three years ago, on the day of your wedding and I knew he was my mate, but I couldn’t just show up so I waited. It is said that whoever waits until the end will receive his reward, well I waited and planned everything.”

And she laughs at me , looking at her nails.

“Were you even pregnant?” I can’t stop myself from asking but that made her stop.

“Of course I was” she says “With a rogue.” and she turns around and leaves but right before she exits she looks at me and says.

“Now everything is right how it should be. Adam will give me your Luna position and I will get what I was looking for.”

“You are crazy” I said more in a whisper, but that remark made her laugh.

“Oh, my dear, you have no idea what I have done to reach this point” and turning around she comes to me again and places a hand on my womb.

“I must confess to you. Anyway you will die tomorrow and at this point no one will ever believe you again.”

Confess me what? What the hell does she mean?

“You, not being able to procreate…that is my work too.”

And my blood is boiling in my veins. She did something? But we have been trying for three years to have a pup, and she showed up months after our wedding. How could she…?

“Rosie!” Kelly whispered. “They worked together”

I must be like an opened book for her, because she started to laugh even harder.

“You figured it out, didn't you?” Lexie mocks me, but I am not in the mood to hear her again and I jump on her and grab her by her neck.

“You fucking bitch! Was it all because of you?”

She ruined my life! I could have been happy. I could have had my happily ever after but this bitch showed up and robbed my life!

“I will kill you!” I growl trying to elongate my claws and rip her head, but Lexie pushed me and made me hit the wall with my head.

Everything is spinning around and I fall on my knees again and lean on the ground, without being able to support my own weight.

“You are so pathetic!” Lexie laughs. “Look how weak you are!”

Oh, Lexie…If I get up you will be so dead right now, but you made them give me wolfbane.

“I am leaving, sorry for not being in the mood to see your weak and ugly face right now” she says. “I am going to my mate and who knows , maybe tonight we will conceive a pup!” and she leaves me there laughing her heart out.

“Over my dead body!” I tell her more in a whisper.

“Yeah…yeah..” she says as if she ignores me “And that will be right tomorrow. I will fuck Adam over your dead body!”

He won’t do it? Isn’t he? Adam will not kill me…he is my mate, my husband… but no matter how much I repeated this in my mind in the morning when the doors opened I knew that whatever I thought that I thought I knew about Adam was gone.

“Take her!” Bill commands his warriors as they push me out of my cell.

“Where are they taking us?” Kelly asks me scared, trying to take the command but the wolfsbane intoxicates her.

“Nat!” she calls me but I can’t utter a single word, he is going to do it. He is going to keep his word. The warriors throw me ugly looks and push me to walk, and I would do it but I can barely stay on my feet and then the doors open and the sun rays hit me hard. Everything hurts. My eyes are hurting because of the strong light, my skin that is all wounded feels like burning under the summer heat and my ears…oh my goddess! Is this really the pack I loved with all my heart? Is this a Red Blood Pack? Are those the same werewolves that swore faith to me or is some kind of a nightmare?

“Kill her!!!!” everyone yells “She killed our pack heir! She doesn’t deserve to live anymore!” and they started to throw things in my direction. Tomatoes, shoes, rocks... and none stops them.

“Criminal!!!!” someone screamed from the crowd. “Kill her Alpha! I can’t stand to look at her!”

Well I can’t stand to look at this pack either.

I put so much effort in the last three years. So many nights without sleeping. Everything I did in the last years was for this pack and they want me dead? And why? Because I wasn’t able to offer them an heir? I thought that working hard will compensate for my inability to convince but they just dumped me as soon as they had the opportunity to do it.

I was their Luna but at the same time I was their Alpha because Adam never cared about the pack, but about the power that comes with the Alpha position.

I did everything in my power to keep this pack united. I attended all the meetings he skipped. My life was only at the service of this pack and now it is more than clear that it was all for nothing.

I understood Adam in the past. I knew he was not a very social person so I took the lead and I held the reins of this pack by myself, but I would have never expected that this would be the way he would reward me.

He dumped me as soon as he found his fated mate, even if he said he wouldn't do it. She became the center of his ambitious plan to have an heir and even slept with her.

Oh, Adam , you are so fucking stupid! This bitch is going to bury you. She fooled and played you on your fingers, just as she did it with me.

After everything you have done I am just sad that I will not have the opportunity to watch your fall. Will be greater than mine.

I wanted to run away hearing that Lexie is pregnant with your child. You killed me that day so now that there is nothing left I can see it clearly. Now everything was revealed.

I was so stupid to will to accept that pup in my life just for you, I should have stayed for myself and ban her out of this pack. But you know what ? Red Blood Pack deserves Lexie as its Luna.

This will be my revenge.

I walk through the crown and their insults are not affecting me anymore. They would better trust an omega than their Luna. They are just some opportunistic cowards. They are taking revenge on me for demanding high training standards, but it was all to protect them from the rogues.

They really think that someone like Lexie would be a better choice for them? Just wait and watch Red Blood Pack! This woman will perish you! Maybe I exceeded my skills by taking Adam's duties but it was only for your own good.

“Nat!” Suddenly Kelly whispers “The council is here!”

And dad is here too. And I can see his panicked gaze, and I can see the tears that he is trying to hold. He was Adam father's beta for years and he always looked strong and unstoppable but now he looks so human, as if seeing me this way killed his heart.

“I love you dad,” I mindlink him and give him a straight look into his eyes, so he would know that I mean every single word I say.

“Be strong,” I whisper. “ Be strong for me. Don’t cry for me, dad. Just be the man I know you are” and would give him a smile but I can’t find the strength to move my facial muscles. I can’t even utter a single word.

“This is not right, Natalie” he tells me and I see him coming in my direction, but I move my eyes and command him.

“No dad, let him do what he puts in his mind. I can’t escape from this” and I let Bill and his warriors drive me in front of the council, even if I feel my dad eyes watching me. In this crowd he is the only one who is on my side. Everyone else wants me dead.

“Natalie Williams” one of the elders of the council announces. “We found you guilty for crime against you alpha and your pack”

Guilty? Oh, elder, you are so wrong here! If I wouldn’t be drugged I would prove to you who the real culprit is, but I can't continue talking about your nonsense.

“The punishment for your crime is death!” he utters so damned sure of his words and I stare at the crowd that started to cheer at his words as if he just announced that they will receive more money.

I turn my head and look at Adam. Adam the love of my life and also the executioner of my life. He walks in military steps and lifts the sword that the council brought for my execution.

He is not even flinching. He is doing this by conviction. He wants to kill me. His inner spirit longs for my blood.

“I will miss you dad” I whisper, giving my dad a last look, and I see him falling on his knees.

“I will miss you Kelly” I whisper and I would like to hug my wolf if I could, to tell her that I am not mad at her for not being able to defend me , but this is above us. This is a betrayal I could never imagine that I will face.

I see Adam in front of me but he is not watching me. He just lifted the sword and pierced my heart. He kicks me with his foot and makes me fall on the ground while the crowd cheers in madness , and my father collapses for good.

“Kelly” I whisper, feeling dizzy. “This is it. This is the end.” and my eyelashes started to flutter as I was not able not even to keep my eyes open for a few more seconds.

All I could see was my blood flowing on the ground.

“Stop it!”

Someone said stop it? Am I hallucinating? I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a handsome man running in my direction. Do I know him?

“Stop this madness!”

Yeah…stop it, but it's too late, handsome guy…is….Why is it so cold?

Because it is way too late to change anything.
