Prologue

I was so restless at night and couldn't help but kept rolling on the bed from one point to the other. I didn't know why though but couldn't just sleep. I stood up from my bed but just sat on it with hands folded under my chin. I wore a ruffled pyjamas and suddenly the craving for water overwhelmed me. I stood up and looking at the jug which always had water in my room, I noticed it was empty. Gosh, I was so lazy to go downstairs. I picked up my phone to check the time and phew it was five minute past one AM. Nonetheless, I had no other option but to get my sorry ass off the bed and go get water for myself before I starve myself and later kill myself of thirst. I walked sluggishly out of the room and my breast dangling from one point to the other as I was braless at the moment. You'd be surprised that the busy Mansion of the Beckett at this point seemed so quiet and serene, whereas I walked around like a witch looking for a soul to posses. Finally I got to the kitchen and went straight to the refrigerator. I opened it and looking through I found a bottle of chilled water and gulped in a handful. In the process of drinking my water to my hearts contempt I heard a weird noise as though someone was groaning. Stood still with the bottled water in my hands but still wasn't sure what was going on. I tried drinking my water again and I heard the sound. I dropped the water on top of the fridge and walked tenderly and sluggishly about to observe what was going on. To an extent while walking I thought maybe it was Brad having s*x with one of his numerous girlfriends. Brad claimed his mate wasn't perfect enough for him so he rejected her and rather found solace in philandering. The noise was becoming more louder and scarier as I walked and my heart raced faster than usual. The sound was coming louder towards the angle of my dad's room as I drew more closer the more the sound became louder. I got to his door now and all of a sudden the noise abruptly stopped. I opened the door swiftly without knocking and I quickly saw a shape of someone just jump out of his window. I rushed in but the room was really dark, I brought out my phone and on the torchlight I was shocked at what I saw. "DAD!!!!" I screamed with my hands shaking and teeth gnashing together as I saw my dad laid on the bed lifeless in the pool of his own blood. I collapsed on the floor as I saw he wasn't just dead but also lying decapitated. I couldn't control how my body shook and shivered. Finally Brad rushed Into the room as well and couldn't move and just stood still at the entrance of the room he saw Dad's dead body. " Alina what have you done you b***h?!!!" He wailed in a loud cry as he rushed to the bed where Dad's dead body laid. On hearing what he said I didn't even know what to feel or what to say to him but just stared at him with no particular feeling at all. Other persons living in the mansion also trooped into the room while I still sat on the floor crying and shivering, swallowing large amount of saliva and legs folded. " You b***h, answer me what have you done, why did you kill dad?" Brad roared towards me now walking to where i collapsed. " What are you talking about, I swear to the moon goddess that I didn't do this" I said with a timid voice and tears rolling down my eyes uncontrollably while about three people who came in just stood and wallowed in the whole scene. "How do you want me to believe such crap you snitch. I came in here and met dad lying in the pool of his own blood and you sit down there telling me you know nothing about this?" He blasted back with a loud and terrifying voice. ", Please believe me Brad I didn't kill dad, and why would I even do that? Yes I know we didn't have such a cordial relationship but that won't make me want to kill me, he was still my dad and i loved him", I asked now having little courage and strength to look at his dreadful and scary face which had a scar. "Oh please spare me those lies and crocodile tears because am not going to fall for them. Because Dad has been paying much attention to me and being treating you as trash that you are because of your worthlessness to the family so you went ahead to kill him."he said drawing more close to were I sat. "No, no Brad I swear with the name of the moon goddess that I didn't kill dad I swear to you please believe me I didn't kill him"I said folding my hands together as I begged and tried proving my innocence. "So you claim not to have a hand in this isn't it?( And i nodded vigorously) okay then, so explain how you got to Dad's room exactly when the whole killing happened and why you were the person to witness it?"he said. "This is all a misunderstanding, I promise I didn't do this. I was restless while I slept and at some point was really thirsty so I decided to go to the kitchen to have some water. On reaching the Kitchen then suddenly I began to hear weird noise. I walked following where the noise came from and then I landed here in dad's room and mysteriously saw him lying dead in the pool of his own blood. Please believe me Brad I didn't kill dad" I said now gathered some strength and stood up. " Bravo!!! Nice plot Alina. You can fool anybody but you can't fool me because I see through you and I know all the evil you are capable of, but am going to make sure you pay deeply for this. You claimed to have been restless and so came to drink water and it had to be the same day and moment that dad was killed that you were thirsty, Bravo Alina bravo. But be rest assured am going to sever your head from your neck same way you did to my dad" he said and walked towards me angrily and I saw his Claws grow out as he walked towards me briskly. " I swear I didn't do this", I said in fear as he came very close to me and raised his hands up to strike me. " STOP!!!" Roared a voice from behind me. Brad stops abruptly as he was very close to scratching me with his sharp claws. I moved backwards and my both hands slightly raised trying to form a shield. "Don't hurt her" said the same voice and as I quickly turned backwards I realized it was Gonzalo the elder of the Pack. He stood at the door and I guessed he just came at the right time before I met an ungracious judgement and chastisement from Brad. "Why?? Do you know what she has done??" Brad spat immediately. " She has done nothing as it hasn't been proven. Or do you have any evidence that she is in fact the culprit? You know the laws of the pack so don't break it. Everyone leave the room immediately and don't touch Beckett's corpse as that might tamper with evidence. Later in the day, we will meet to deliberate on this" he said. Brad looked so furious and boiled in anger as he stared at Gonzalo. He later turned his gaze from him and redirected it to me. He sighed and walked away angrily without uttering any word and the others followed soothe. "Thank you for trusting me"I said looking at Gonzalo who was in his middle age. "I never said I trust you or did I vindicate you, am just following due protocols." He said and walked away leaving me in the room alone....
