Zoey’s pov****
The male voice moaning intensely from Lyra’s room sounded so much like Landon, but even when the thought came to my head, I shook it off, knowing that these were the two people that I trusted most in this world until they began to chat, and I drifted closer.
“Oh.. Landon, you are so good that I am so proud of you. For a moment there, I thought that you could not get your act together and reject Zoey, but you were so good with your acting that I fell for you”, at lyra expressed, and while she did, her tiny voice giggled.
“Your sister is so naive, thinking that i was going to get married to her tomorrow, but I must say lyra that i am so proud of you, for you to have thought about such a swift plan, i get to reject her, banish her and yet no one blames me for it, rather every despises her now without knowing that this was all you, good thing that she agreed to take the drink that you spiked, else our plan wouldn't have gone so well”
“You know Zoey is so naive and trust me, only if she knew that your child is growing inside my belly right now, I would have loved to see the look on her face.” lyra chuckled so loudly again and while she did, he began placing kisses around her body, the sound of the kisses, piercing my heart the same a knife would do.
I held my hand out to my mouth because I was already in pain, it was becoming too much for me to bear or listen as a stream of tears flew through my eyes and I could not believe that I had been going through all this humiliation and even while I did, I felt so guilty thinking that I wronged him.
Knowing that I had to leave before I was figured out, because no doubt that this was a secret they would both like to keep and how else would I be able to get my revenge if they knew that I was aware of that. But just as I was about to sneak away, I stumbled on a flower vase. It made a loud noise, but I got on my feet quickly and dashed out of the house.
With a few of my things that I was able to grab, I dashed through the woods hoping to get a cab, but the tears did not leave my eyes, pack members glaring at me with so much hate in their eyes, and yet I knew that no one would believe me if I told them that I was set up my sister and mate, drugged by the same people who I trusted the most.
Still wailing in my tears, I did not realize when I was dragged up from behind, my eyes and mouth both gagged up as they dragged me out of there.
“Well! Well! Well!! Look who we have here, how has the mighty fallen from their throne.” Her loud voice filled the air in th most despicable manner, and once my eyes had been unfolded, I realized that we were in the woods, far away from anyone with two hefty men standing beside her.
“Lyra, what do you think that you are doing, is this some kind of prank?” I was trying to act ignorant, hoping that she would finally let me go.
“You are naive, Zoey, but not stupid. I know that you heard the Alpha and I are speaking in my room earlier just now. How did it feel to you knowing that I had him all wrapped around me with him with his baby breathing in my womb while, all this while, you were so busy playing the good girl and reserving your virginity for the mating night!!”
She let out a loud giggle that echoed through the woods. I found it so disgusting, I was heartbroken and shattered beyond recognition and yet there was nothing that I could do.
“Why, why did you have to do it? You were my sister Lyra, my best friend!”
“Are you for real Zoey? Please do not tell me that you bought all the act. How long did you expect that I was going to sit and watch you get all the good stuff? It was always you, Zoey, the intelligent one at school who got the good grades and made daddy proud, while I was left to look like a black sheep and yet you knew I had a crush on the Alpha, yet you were going to get married to him.”
“He was my mate Lyra, the moon goddess peered at us together. What would you have me do?” I asked and there was no way that I had seen any of this coming. I thought that she was happy for me and even her smile seemed so genuine.
“You have him now, you have the pack, and everything else, while I am left with nothing. So please, how about you let me go!”
“I am sorry Zoey, but I know that you had our conversation, you know our secret, you have always been the smart one in the family. I just can't let you go knowing that you know too much.”
“Please Lyra, remember that he ordered that I be killed if I ever came close to the pack, there is no way that I would ever be able to reveal your secret. Please just let me go.
I pleaded desperately, but she scoffed while she glared at me disdainfully. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask her, yet I wondered how she could smile so happily for me just yesterday, and today she is pointing a sword at me.
“I am sorry Zoey, you have to die. That is the only way Landon and our baby can be happy.”
“Please Lyra, I am no longer in your way, just let me go, for old time's sake” I pleaded, a stream of tears rolling down my cheek.
“Old time, do you know the times that I had to cry knowing that you were favored by everyone, and I was not. There was never a time between us and will never be?”
She responded and stretched out the blade towards me. I was so scared. Never did I think that the sight of death would scare me like this and my next instinct was to run? But what was I thinking, with two hefty men standing beside me, how did I think that I would be able to run?
The first attempt that I made to run, a loud smack fell on my head, and I was forced to the ground, yet it did not stop there, they kept on hitting me consistently and seeing that I was bleeding profusely, it did not prompt them to stop. My eyes were shutting and yet I could not believe that I was going to die in the hands of my sister whom I loved the most.
