CHAPTER 11 - UNDER ARREST - SIRI'S POV
1155 Words
Everything was ready for me to leave tomorrow during the festival. I'd hidden all of my belongings in the forest, or at least the ones I was taking anyway. I'd just returned from the woods and was going down for dinner when I passed Colette, who was whispering with one of the male housekeepers. I think his name was Nate, but upon seeing me, she smiled at me, and skipped over.
''Good evening.''
''F*ck off Colette.'' I rolled my eyes, ''No one's here to put an act on for.''
''Are you still upset about the grapes?'' She asked, trying to sound innocent, ''You know it was an accident.''
''Go f*ck yourself you pathetic bitch.''
I walked ahead of her down the stairs when she screamed and fell. ''Colette!'' I shouted and rushed down to help her.
I hated the cow, but the baby was innocent.
''HELP!'' I shouted, completely forgetting that I could link, and turned her over onto her side, as I heard running.
Colette was unconscious, and there was blood coming from her skull and from beneath her legs. The first one to reach us was the guard from upstairs.
''Colette?!'' He shook her and glared at me, ''How could you!?''
''What?!'' I shouted angrily, ''I didn't touch her!''
''COLETTE!'' Zain shouted as he rushed down the hall, ''What happened? Is the baby okay?''
''She pushed her!'' The servant lied, and I glared at him with wide eyes. ''She was angry about the grapes, and they were shouting, and she shoved Colette.''
''YOU LYING B*STARD!'' I shouted, and turned to Zain, ''I never touched her! Check the camera's!''
The man looked a little nervous, but when Kai came running, he stepped back, looking down.
''THE BABY!?'' Kai panicked, as Zain lifted Colette.
''We need to get to the hospital.'' Zain told him brother, and they started rushing outside, but Zain paused and turned to me, his face filled with rage, ''You stay here!''
''I didn't push her!'' I shouted, ''How can you believe this man over me!?''
''JUST STAY!'' He screamed and rushed out.
The first thing I did was go to the surveillance room and check the footage. ''YES!'' I said to Ada when the video showed that Colette had thrown herself. Most likely to frame me.
''She's evil.'' Ada said sadly, ''She risked her own child just to get you away from the twins.''
''Dumb b*tch, all she had to do was wait until I left, and she could have had them and the baby.''
''It's not the twins baby,'' Ada pointed out, just a theory, but we were 98% sure it wasn't theirs, ''She was probably killing two birds with one stone, she gets rid of us, and the child.''
''Crazy cow!'' I shook my head and turned to Eric, ''Send this to my phone.''
''Yes, Luna.''
An hour later I had the footage, and I was heading the Queens office to show her. I knew my so-called mates wouldn't believe me without the footage, but when I went to leave the home, my mates came back. Both of them looked troubled and pale.
''How is she?'' I asked, but Zain slapped me so hard, I fell back, and my phone flew from my hand.
I was in complete shock, as a burning sting filled my cheek. Hot tears pricked my eyes, and my hands instinctively flew to my cheek.
It hit me hard, when I realized he hadn't just slapped my cheek. He slapped my hope, my dreams, my belief in us. All the little things, the late-night talks, the laughter, the stolen moments, the years of friendship. It flashed through my mind and seemed to burn away like ash. I felt numb. I felt betrayed. It was over. I no longer had a single ounce of love for these men. It was all gone. No affection left.
Zains eyes hardened, ''OUR SON IS DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!'' He screamed furiously, ''GUARDS!''
Kai grabbed me from the ground and ripped me up, ''TAKE THIS B*TCH TO THE DUNGEONS!'' He screamed, his face full of rage, ''SHE IS CHARGED WITH KILLING OUR SON AND HEIR!''
''GET OFF ME!'' I shouted, and shoved him, but his grip didn't let go. ''I NEVER TOUCHED HER AND I CAN PROVE IT! WHY DO YOU KEEP BELIEVING ALL THESE PEOPLE OVER ME? I'M YOUR MATE! YOU KNOW ME! I'D NEVER PUSH A PREGNANT WOMEN DOWN THE STAIRS. CHECK THE FOOTAGE. I CAN PROVE IT. CHECK MY PHONE!''
''Ever since we found out about our child, you've been acting like a spoiled b*tch!'' Zain shouted in my face, ''You couldn't even be happy for us. It was all about you. You pushed us away. You rejected us. You blamed Colette and made everyone miserable just because you weren't the center of attention, and you expect us to believe that you didn't push her!?''
''I DIDN'T!'' I shouted back, ''And I never cared about not being the center of attention. I cared about my mates believing that b*tch over me. About my mates blindly believing that the child was yours anyway! I saw her with a maid earlier. Nate, or whatever his name was, the pr*ck that lied about me pushing her. He's probably the real father, and you two fools fell for it!''
Zain growled, his face contorted and grabbed my throat. ''WE ACCEPT YOUR REJECTION!''
I felt a crushing in my chest, as the bond broke and more tears fell down my cheeks.
''GET HER OUT OF OUR SIGHT!'' Kai tossed me into the nearest guard's arms, and he held me securely.
''I WISH I COULD BE HERE WHEN YOU FIND OUT THE TRUTH!'' I shouted and struggled against the guard, ''THE PACK WILL KNOW SOON THAT THEIR FUTURE KINGS ARE FOOLS WHO CAN BE MANIPULATED AND CONNED. I FELL SORRY FOR ALL OF THEM WITH YOU TWO IN CHARGE!''
The guard started dragging me off, and I quickly tried to link the King and Queen, but they were blocking me. The Queen's rejection of my links hurt more than my mate's rejection. She couldn't actually believe I'd killed that baby? I would never. Though right now, I wish I had.
''We have to get out of the dungeons, and make it to the meeting point tomorrow,'' Ada said frantically, as we were shoved into one of the cars with the guards sitting next to me, and holding my wrist so tightly it felt like it was bruising, ''Alpha Brayton will think we're not coming and leave without us.''
No. We couldn't let that happen. ''I'll get us out. Don't worry.'' I told her, ''Besides, the Queen might actually look at the footage and release us.''
''You have too much faith in her.'' Ada snapped, ''She's clearly on her son's sides. On Colette's side. We can't count on her. We have to get out on our own.''
''We will. I will get us out.''
