4: She is a liar
The guards did as they were commanded. Their expressions were contorted with absolute harred as they looked upon me. Before I had any chance to speak, they stomped towards me. I was grabbed roughly. Abel tried to hold on to me, but they pulled me away and took me out of the room, my heart racing all the way.
“What is going on!” I asked, but they only growled at me and continued to walk forward toward Kavriel and Lyra’s chamber as people watched and whispered.
Soon I was thrown into the chamber. Every eye looked upon use with open disdain. But none was as filled with hatred as Kavriel. My mother was at pale as paper. And Lyra’s face was puffy and pink at though she had just cried her eyes out.
When her eyes met mine, she began to wail, burying her swollen face in Kavriel’s chest. “How could she My_baby!” She sobbed.
I had a horrible inkling, I was made to kneel
Kavriel kissed Lyra softly on her forehead before getting up and approaching me. And when he was close enough, he kicked me hard in the stomach. I flew back a few yards. I let out a shout at the anauli
Through the haze of pain and confusion, I looked up to see Kavriel looming over me, his expression twisted with rage and contempt. His actions spoke volumes, confirming my worst fears. Did he really believe I was behind what happened to Lyra?
You fucking bitch!” He ground out. He slammed a fist into my jaw the moment I sat up. “You killed my child. You killed our childı”
Lyra’s sobbing became louder as if on cue.
1 looked around me, trying to find one person that could stand up for me. No one. My mother tried, but I could see the vice like hold that my father had on her. She could do nothing for me.
“I knew you were jealous of your sister. I knew you envied her position and her relationship with me.” Kavriel spat out, his voice dripping with venom. “But I never thought you would stoop so low as to harm her and our child.”
His words cut through me like a knife, each accusation piercing deeper into my already shattered heart. I wanted to scream out in protest, to defend myself against his baseless accusations, but the pain in my jaw and the weight of his disdain held me captive.
“After all that I did for you. You begged me to let you stay by my side and accepted because of how pitiful you were. And now this…”
My car were ringing with his lies. It was because of me that he had his title. I never begged to stay by his side. Yet, here he was lying. Destroying whatever was left of my dignity.
“Stop!” I yelled. “I did not do any such thing and you know it. I cured the fever, you didn’t. If I am nothing as you all claim, then your Alpha,” I spar his title in his fice. “Is nothing but scum.”
Kavnel paled to a ghostly pallor, his eyes bulging at the secret that was out in the open. The guest would be at the other side of the door listening. They would know.
Then my father laughed, but it lacked amusement. “So the wolfless wretch cured the fever. The same one who poisoned the Luna”
My father came forward then and slapped me across the face.
“You dare to speak such lies in this court” my father bellowed his voice booming with authority. “You are nothing but a stain on our family name, a disgrace to our pack.” He spat. “On top of that you commit treason.”
“I did no such thing!” I yelled.
“Is that so!” Kavriel asked. Then he turned to Beta Reiner. “Get the maid.” He did as ordered, and the maid was soon thrown right beside me. Her face was swollen shut, and her skin scarred with welts from a whip Tears trailed down her cheek.
“Tell me, Sonya,” My father asked the obviously tortured maid beside nie. “Who ordered you to poison the Luna!”
The maid turned to me, immediately. “It was her, sire,” She said, her voice filled with tremors. “It was her that ordered me to kill Luna’s child.”
“I made a mistake,” Lyra sniffled. “You were the first person I told about my child. Had I known you were so bitter_”
The rest of her words were tuned out as it dawned on me at that moment, just as the horror sunk in. This had been Lyra’s plan from the beginning Why he would she have lied about being pregnant? She had planned to frame me for the death of the child whose existence she had made up. Abel’s words resonated in my head. He had been talking about the maid and the Luma. He must have been a witness to their plans in some way. That had been why he had been so scared.
Yet, no one would believe me. And the reality would be a direct accusation against Lum. It was treason I had to keep my mouth shut. The ache in my body was unbearable, but nothing destroyed me more than the fact that I was being framed, and 1 had no one in the world who could help me our of my predicament without facing the consequences. If only had left a year ago. Yet, I stood for a man who had done nothing but to hurt me again and again
“The Lama is a liar!” Came a childlike voice, but that did not take away the conviction that resonated in it.
I turned to find Abel behind me, pointing an accusatory finger at Lyra. My eyes widened in shock as blood drained from my face.
“She is a liar.” He was not stammering at all as he reiterated.
The only thought that went through my mind was that Abel would not be spared.
