Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 12

*****Erika's POV*****

I turned sharply and saw Serenity bleeding profusely from her sides. Confused and at loss for words, I stared blankly at the knife stained with her blood in my hand.

What just happened?

"Why the hell are you so wicked, you vile woman!" I heard Alex’s mom yell to me.

"B-but I-I…" I couldn't even complete my stuttering.

Everything had happened in a blur. I was walking past them and I felt a knife pressed into my palm.

Out of defensive reflex, my brain had quickly responded to the fact that I might be in danger and had my hand clasp over the knife before it hurt me.

I looked at Serenity, she was crying in pain as everyone huddled around her, trying to stop the bleeding.

"What in the goddesses name is wrong with you?!" Alex was beyond angry, he was seeing red.

"Believe me, Alex, I did not…" I was still saying when he suddenly cut me shut,

"Enough of your lies! How petty can you get?!" He roared.

"Why are you not believing me?"

Serenity was hurt and that was a huge crime. It would be seen as attempted murder again which was definitely not.

This Pack was definitely hell bent on causing me so much troubles.

Now I even begged Alex, as if he would believe me.

I hadn't even brought any weapon to this ceremony, I just knew Serenity had done this on purpose, but how desperate was she to prove…..

what in the Goddess’s name was she trying to prove?!

It was obvious she wanted Alex, which I willingly left for her.

Why was she going such extra mile to do this to me?

"This would not be happening if you had shown them who you truly are." Cindy uttered, I could feel her annoyance and disappointment.

"You know I can't do that, Cindy." I defended.

“Why? You can't tell them you’re an Heiress to the biggest and most prosperous pack in all four regions of Fangoria?”

I kept mute, not saying anything more.

"You've done more than enough harm today, Erika. You shall definitely be punished!"

"Why?" I asked, befuddled.

"You tried to kill Seren, and that for the second time! It is a crime punishable by death." He spat.

"You know me, Alex. For the three years we have been married, I have never done anything like this, have I?"

Where the hell was Jace? Why was he not here? This was a case I could not try to fight my way out of.

Anywhere this case was judged, even as an Alpha, I’d be dealt with.

I watched them rush Serenity out of the place, the cut was deep because she was still bleeding.
