~Next Morning
Daphne’s P.O.V.
I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. It looked like a hospital room. My dry lips were just shaking to say something. I don’t know how much time has passed.
I woke up with a jolt.
“Enzo.” My lips flattered and tears slipped down to my cheeks. Why did he do that? How could anyone take his life?
“How are you feeling now?” I turned to the voice. My brother was next to me, stroking my cold cheek. There was a strange anxiety in his style.
"Brother." My lips flattered. I couldn’t control myself and hugged him tightly. This pain was tearing my heart.
He is gone. Why did he do that? I begged him to stop but he didn’t. I am responsible for this.” I was not in my senses. I wanted to scream as much as I wanted. My brother shook me vigorously to bring me to consciousness.
“Shut up. Keep your voice low. I don’t want anyone to listen to this. Don’t even mention his name. You will not even think about it. Forget Enzo. He was no one. You have a fiancé, just remember it. If he finds out about this thing, he will kill us.” His words made me freeze. I was looking at him still. How cruel he was? Someone had lost his life and he was asked to forget it. How can I forget this? I was an eyewitness of this incident. Was he dead? Was he really dead? He was a werewolf, he couldn’t die so easily. My heart reassured.
“Is .. is he dead?” I barely asked. There was faint hope that maybe he was alive, maybe some charisma had happened. My brother looked at my face and sat next to me on the bed. He held my hand, caressing it gently, but I was looking at his face to find an answer.
"Please tell me he is alive my breath will stop. I will never forgive myself that a human being took his own life in front of my eyes and I couldn’t stop him. Tell me brother; please tell me he is not dead.” I was not in my senses otherwise I couldn’t have that courage to explain all this to my elder brother. I was so afraid of him that I never ever talked to him properly, but today I don’t have control over my senses. This pain was too heavy to bear.
“He is not dead.” My brother’s words made me still. Was what I heard correct? I looked at him in disbelief.
“Yes, he is alive but he is not out of danger.” He reassured me by looking at my disbelievable eyes.
“He did this for me. I didn’t listen to him. Why did I do that? How could I be so ruthless? I am responsible for all this. Please take me to him." I wanted to look at him for once. For the past three months he had been trying to convince me, but now that he had gone silent, my heart started yearning for him. Now I want to see his loving eyes but he was far away. I begged my brother but his changing expression made me stop. His face was turning red.
“His survival chances are just 10%. Maybe he will die in just one or two hours and that is what I want,” he was saying in a cruel tone. His words made me cringe.
“No…” I tried to stop him but he put his finger on my lips to make me shut.
"You don’t know he was. We go from there and hide in our town. I can’t handle this matter. What if Alpha knows about it? He will never forgive you and will refuse to marry you. I can’t bear this loss so we have to go. I know you are innocent in this matter, so it is better that this matter will end here. No one knew why that stupid guy tried to kill himself. No one knows and will ever know. It is only possible if that guy died. Pray that he will die. If you want to live, this guy has to die. Do you understand?" He completed his talk, patted my cheeks and left. Does he have any feelings? Why was he so cruel? He always thinks about himself. He is selfish, never cares about anyone.
I am Daphne Knox, the weak daughter of a warrior. My parents died when I was thirteen. After their death, my brother looks after me. He was always strict on me, he never talked to me softly. I was a useless thing for him to, but when Alpha Connor, the most powerful Alpha, came to claim me, I became useful to him. He was going to have a good rank in the Boom Pack of Alpha Connor once I married him. I was just seventeen now, so he was waiting for me to turn eighteen.
I still had no feelings for him, but I feared him. I knew he was cruel, but he never talked to me harshly. At that time, I met Enzo. I don’t know who he was, but I don’t want him to have any expectations of me. Today I went to meet him. I want him to know about my engagement. But I had no idea that he would take such a drastic step. My heart was bursting. I didn’t care about anyone at that time, neither my brother, not myself, nor Alpha Connor. I don’t know how I will cope with this burden. How can I turn my back on a dying man? I hid my face in my hands and cried badly.
