    Chapter Ny Four


    I woke up feeling dizzy. My head hurt, and my throat felt so sore.


    And there stood Jake.


    "She''s awake," he says to himself; the sadness I Had once seen in his eyes was gone, and all that was left was rage.


    "Yeah, I am awake." I manage to say, "What next?, kill me?. He would find me and then kill you." I threatened.


    "Just like he killed my sister?" Jake questioned, the single tear slipping down his eyes; he wiped it away, angry at himself for letting me see that. The guilt I''d carried along since Nelly''s death felt more oppressive than ever. Coming to think of it this must have been what he had been referring to earlier when he spoke about taking the ''little things'' for granted, he was referring to the times he had spent with his sister. 1


    "You know why she was killed" I tried exining "I wish it never happened, and it still haunts me... but she..." Itrailed off, I couldn''t lie to his face, so I remained silent.


    "What is it you wanted to say?" Jake inquired, those sorrowful eyes on me, "I know, alright! I know your mother was the true guilty one. I know that you easily twisted things to favour you" he growled at me.


    My stomach dropped. This had all been nned out, he must have been out there ''waiting'' for me to finally be alone and foolishly, I gave him the opportunity.


    He knew the truth. How did he know?


    my skin.


    "I wouldn''t try that if I were you; that is made out of silver," he says, and that would exin why I felt weaker.


    I struggled against the chain, but the little movement sent the chain burning into


    "I''m sorry," I said, because there was no point denying it. I knew this would eventuallye full circle; life is like a boomerang; what goes aroundes around... Ljust never thought it would happen this soon. "You are sorry?" he asks, and when I look at him I see a broken man, he had lost his only sibling and it was my fault, yet all I could say was sorry''.


    "You are sorry!" he screamed louder. "It is always easier for you guys; you do what you want, and you do not give a shit what others think about it. You murdered an innocent, and nobody cares, nobody give a fuck either." "You don''t understand... I didn''t want this, but you are wrong if you thought I didn''t care." I tried exining, but if I thought I would be able to talk him out of this, then I was the bigger fool. Chapter Ny Four


    "Oh, I understand. You wanted your mother alive but did it ever ur to you that I wanted my sister alive!"


    He was right. I ceased struggling with the chains, Whatever happened, I deserved it, at least my mother was alive and so was Thane. I didn''t know how Jake found out the truth, but if he did then others might too. "Do as you wish, I deserve this and I forgive you


    "What?"

    "I caused this; I had pushed him, and I hate myself for it; I lose sleep thinking about her. It isn''t easy on me, but I would not y victim because I am not. I only ask that you make it quick."


    He gave me a long look. "I''m sorry, Luna," he says, his head down in... shame?, and just then the door was pulled open and someone walked in.


    It was Alpha de ckwood of the Newblood Pack.


    "You asked how I knew the truth. Now you know" Jake says.


    de passed him something-a wad of cash-and he epted it, shoving it into his pocket. "You didn''t do this for your sister. No, you did this for the money"


    He gave me onest sympathetic look before he walked away. Shutting the door behind him. With him gone, it was just de and me. In the same room.


    I schooled my features into smoothness, doing my best to look calm. I only hoped my heartbeat wouldn''t give me away, because right now it was drumming in my chest.


    "A very improper way to hold a meeting, Alpha de"


    He chuckled. "You know me, I like my things different and... unique.''


    "So to what do I owe this royal honor?" I said, my tone mocking. I shouldn''t push


    him, but a


    part of me was not going toy low and be afraid; I was going to fight him, and this was the first step. Annoying the hell out of him.


    He smirked, amused. "I always thought you looked very familiar. You see, now it makes so


    much sense.


    "I doubt that. The only expression on your face when we first met was a scowl"


    "Then you must have a really good memory.


    "Where is this heading to?"


    "A sharp tongue... I''ll love to see how you would look without it," he says coolly, but I notice the threat in his words and I knew well he was up to the task. "Your mother had tried to poison Chapter Ny Four


    and murder me; could you exin why?"
