Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 351

“No,” I shake my head. “No, I…I didn’t,” I stutter, a lump forming in my throat. “It was..it was an accident, I didn’t.” I cry out. “No.”

Gemma shakes her head, “You are a murderer.”

“How could you do this to your own sister, Luna Aeliana?” Tina asks, her tone horrified.

“Stop yelling at her!” Noah snaps, finally moving from the spot her feet seemed to be cemented in.

“You want us to cuddle her?” Audrey scoffs. “She just pushed Seraphine down a flight of stairs!”

I blink, hot tears streaming down my cheeks. “It was an accident,” Noah tells them, rubbing my back. “She wouldn’t do that, she’s not evil like you both.”

“Us?” Audrey snorts. “Evil? How rich, Noah, get your head out of Rowan’s ass for a second and see what happened here, she pushed her.”

“I’m sorry, Sera,” I sob, trying to reach for her once again. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t touch her,” Gemma slaps my hand away again. “Somebody get a healer, a doctor, anything, just get her help!”

“Help is coming, don’t move her.” I hear Danielle say.

The sudden shift in the air prompts me to turn my head, and I find a familiar face. Kingston walks into the room, and I immediately run to him, sobbing into his chest.

“Hey baby,” he says, his body tensing. “What’s going on—what happened here?”

“Really you have the nerve to cry in his arms after what you’ve done?” Gemma scoffs, her tone bitter.

“What did she do?” He asks, “What’s going on?”

“She pushed Seraphine down the stairs,” someone says.

“I swear I didn't, she was touching me, I begged her to stop, I didn’t mean…I didn’t push her!”

“Everyone saw you,” Audrey snaps, hysterically crying. “You were screaming at her, she has done nothing but be kind to you, but you can’t help being a bitch!”

Kingston growls, “Audrey, watch your mouth.”

“It's the truth,” she insists. “Aeliana can’t help herself.”

“I didn’t want to touch her, she was forcing me to feel her baby kick.”

“So you pushed her?” She snaps.

I shake my head, accidentally catching a glimpse of Seraphine again. I feel sick, the blood, the whimpering, the accusations, it’s all making my head spin. “I don’t feel good.”

“That’s funny, you try to kill Seraphine but now you don’t feel good?”

“My head hurts!” I snap. “I told her!”

“What’s the emergency?” I hear Maddox ask. I turn my head to see him, and a certain nurse coming in, carrying his medicine bag. His eyes widen when he sees Seraphine. “Oh shit, what happened?”

“Aeliana pushed Seraphine down the stairs,” Gemma says, the accusation landing heavy. I’m so confused about what happened, things escalated so fast.

“Please save my baby, Maddox please.”

Maddox kneels beside Seraphine and Kingston pulls me away. “Shh, it's okay.” He tells me. “Come here, you need to come down.”

“I didn’t do it,” I tell him. “I swear I—I just wanted to take something for my headache, but she was—I didn’t mean to.” I cry out. “It was an accident, she fell alone.”

“Okay, I believe you.” He kisses my forehead. “Calm down. I’ll handle this, okay? Noah, please take Aeliana with you,” he says. “I’ll be there in a minute, take her to your room.”

Noah takes my hand into her trembling hand. She guides me towards her room, away from the screaming.
