Did I Kill My Alpha?

Chapter 2: Oh really, he's Dead

"That foolish girl, where does she think she is, to be raising her voice like that?" Luna mumbled to herself as she stood in the front of the Alpha's closed door.

She was walking past the room when she heard Elena's scream. At first, it was a muffled scream, that was when Elena had covered her mouth with her palms.

But when Luna heard another scream, this one louder than the first, she swung the door open and walked inside, feeling alarmed.

"What the hell?" Luna let out a shriek and stopped in her tracks as she set her eyes on the motionless body of the Alpha on the bed.

And for a moment, Luna had stood still with her eyes wide open in shock.

"What have you done?" Luna asked, turning to Elena who was crying at the other side, her voice low but menacing.

"I... I... I didn't do..." Elena was trying to talk amidst sobs but couldn't complete her sentence.

"Keep quiet, you evil thing!" Luna snapped at her, her voice rising.

"You have killed the Alpha!" She pointed out as if telling Elena who had just happened.

Elena's heart sank at the accusation, her jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"How would I dare do that?" She asked, her voice protesting.

"Exactly my point. How dare you?" Luna bellowed at her. Before Elena could talk, Luna beat her to it.

"Guards! Guards!!" Luna's shrilling voice rang through the room.

"What are you doing?" Elena blurted out, not understanding what was happening. She had a clue but she didn't want to believe it.

Luna's head snapped at her and the former scoffed in annoyance. Afterwards, Luna walked briskly to Elena and without warning, slapped her hard across the face.

Elena fell to the floor unceremoniously at the impact of the heavy slap and she burst into hot tears.

"Calling the guards to come and arrest you, criminal." Luna yelled at her. In no time, the guards barged into the room.

"What the hell happened here?" One of the guards asked Luna. The others took in the scene in disbelief.

"This filthy, godforsaken Omega has killed the Alpha!" Luna told the guards. They were all shocked to their bone marrows.

Without wasting time, the leader of the guards instructed two hefty men to drag Elena to the dungeon.

"I swear I didn't do it. I wouldn't dare." Elena screamed in protest as she got dragged out.

"I have no idea what happened in that room. How could I even stand a chance against the Alpha?" Elena yelled, sobbed and even pleaded but every sound from her fell on deaf ears.

The guards threw her into a cold, dark dungeon where criminals were kept. That was where she would be until her trial before the council.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The Alpha of Moonlight pack has been murdered by an Omega!"

The news spread like a wildfire across every corner of the pack and beyond, shaking the entire community.

"What did you just say? No, it can't be..." A middle-aged woman, Lena gasped in disbelief at the announcement.

"Shut it, you treacherous b***h!" Rose, Alpha's wife snapped at the woman kneeling before her.

Rose had barged into Lena's room with guards behind her and thrown the news at Lena's face.

"Do you think I don't know about your little, silly movement of Omega's uprising or whatever you call it?" Rose asked rhetorically, glaring at Lena in fury.

"Now, one of the lowlifes you supported has killed my husband! Tell me, Lena, how were you able to succeed?" She growled at the woman, making the guards behind her flinch at the loudness but surprisingly, Lena was unflinching.

"Elena can not do that, your ladyship." Lena maintained firmly.

Out of fury, Rose rushed at the woman and landed a hot slap on her face. Lena grunted in pain but recovered immediately and pulled a straight face. She was determined to not show any sign of weakness. For the sake of Elena. For the sake of the helpless Omegas.

"Are you ready to confess to your crimes?" Rose yelled harshly at Lena.

"Your ladyship, you can't get any confession from me because I have no idea of what you are talking about. Yes, I supported the movement for Omega's liberation because of the t*****e, torment and pain they have to endure every day of their lives." Lena paused for a split second, her stance determined and unflinching, then continued talking while Rose glared at her.

"But I have never instigated the murder of anyone not to talk of the Alpha's. Come to think of it, how can a sick, frail lady stand a chance against the gallant Alpha who had fought different wars and torn enemies apart with his bare hands?" Lena asked, her voice rising and her eyes widening.

As a response to her question, Rose gave her another hot slap but Lena refused to bow to the pain. Rather, Lena exhaled sharply, her nostrils flaring. While Rose's chest heaved up and down in anger and frustration.

"You arrogant vile thing! You think your sharp tongue is going to save you and those lowlifes? No, you can't get out of this, I promise you." Rose bellowed at her and the other woman tightened her jaw in defiance.

"I know nothing of this crime, your ladyship. And I am certain that Elena knows nothing either. I am afraid this is part of a larger conspiracy that you might not know about." Lena maintained, her voice firm and crisp. The trust she had in Elena was unwavering.

"Oh, really?" Rose asked rhetorically, scoffing in annoyance.

"I would love to see whether you will still be able to run your mouth and pull a straight face when your fingers and toes are getting cut off in torture." Rose stated, a sinister smirk playing on her lips at the promise of t*****e and pain.

"Your ladyship, we found the cause of his death." A guard announced, bursting into the room.
