Luna Leo

Dead

Everyone stood in confusion watching Primrose's lifeless body. Her distraught mother stared into space. She could not cry anymore. Her life had crumbled right before her eyes.

Just then, Aziel stepped forward. I wondered what he wanted to do.

Perhaps to can down Ophelia but Ophelia was not in her right senses. She could tear him down if he dared touch her.

Millicent walked close to me and places her arm on my shoulder, embracing me. Primrose was more than just a niece. I was her favorite aunt.

She had always loved to be with me wherever I went and so was I. Her death was a shock to me. I could not move that very minute. It felt so surreal.

Immediately, Aziel grabbed Primrose's lifeless body. There was nothing anyone could do.

Only a witch could avert the magick. The Magick is a very powerful spell or magic that allows anything to penetrate into their prey's body. I just could not understand why Primrose was attacked.

Did the person miss the target? Was it directed to my brother instead? Poole Primrose. I felt so much out for her.

Her brown colored hair was still packed into a bun just like I had lacked it that very morning.

He placed his mouth on her neck and then began to suck her blood. I was even more surprised than anyone else. What was he doing? Risking his life?

Slowly, Primrose began to become normal but Tony was turning blue instead. I gasped as I wondered what was going on.

Of course, Tony was a werewolf like us, how could he do that? Could it be because he was an Alpha?

Just then, Primrose exhaled like she had been suffocated. Tony on the other hand fell down. He had turned white instead.

Had he taken the poison instead of himself? I tried to move closer to him but Ellington held me back.

Ophelia grabbed her daughter and hugged her immediately. Millicent ran excitedly to hug Primrose who still looked very weak.

Ellington looked at Aziel with fear and disgust on his face. I could not tell why. Something was wrong.

“Let me go!” I tried to free myself from Ellington's grip but his grip was tighter. I watched in agony as Aziel's body suffered.

He couldn’t die like that. He could not care to leave me after all had happened. No.

“Let’s go in” Aziel grabbed me and tried to pull me in.

Was he joking? I looked at everyone and no one seemed to be concerned about Aziel. What was going on? They were definitely not going to be ungrateful after what he had done.

I was even more shocked when Ellington didn’t look bothered. He did not care if Aziel died or not. How ungrateful could he be? Aziel died trying to save his child.

He exchanged his life for Ellington's daughter yet he did not appreciate it.

Ophelia picked up her daughter and walked back in. Mother walked back inside as well. She shook her head and walked back inside.

“He is gone” Ellington announced with no feeling of remorse. I didn’t realize when tears began to fall from my eyes.

Have I fallen in love with him? Even if I hadn’t, I could not be as ungrateful as the rest of my family.

I collapsed to the floor immediately. The news tore me into shreds. Everything happened so fast. It seems so surreal.

My Aziel was white and lying lifeless in the cold. My brother was not bothered at all. Instead, he looked at him with disgust.

“Come, let’s go in. He is gone” Millicent patted me. Tears fell from my eyes.

Father stood and shook his head. He seemed to be the only one who cared. Or was he scared? Or perhaps greed?

“Oh, the wealth, the enjoyment, the luxury, all gone!” He lamented. Although I had presumed it, I was shocked to hear those words escape Father’s lips.

He only wanted me to marry him because of the goodies attached to it.

“What will we do?

What if the Alpha's parents begin to search for him? What will we tell them? Won't they believe we killed him?” Father shook in fear as he stared at the lifeless body.

Of course, we killed him. Why was he scared? We would all be killed. Right?

“Let’s busy him father and act as if nothing happened. If no one spills, no one will know” He answered, without regret.

He didn’t feel sorry at all. I was shocked to see my brother could ever be that wicked.

“What if the royal home consults the Ancient ones? What if someone sees us?” Father questioned again, trembling.

I knew he was scared but that didn’t matter. Tears refused to come out of my eyes anymore. I was devastated.

“Let's dispose of his body somewhere else” He suggested. An ideal father agreed immediately.

“Take your sister back in” Father instructed Millicent. Like a fool, I watched on. What was going on? What were they planning to do? Dispose of my Aziel’s body.

Millicent tried to pick me up and like a lunatic, I was quick to react.

“Let me go! Let go of me!” I snatched my hands away from Millicent and stood up. I was ready to do anything to protect Tony's body.

Even though he was going to be buried, his parents had to know and that would be done honorably. He was an Alpha not just any type of werewolf.

“Stop acting like a nuisance and come here right now! Do not cause us any more trouble!” Ellington yelled at me but it made no sense to me. Aziel mattered the most to me.

“I am not going anywhere. If you are going to do anything to my Aziel. You are going to have to go through me first!” I yelled.

Even though the cold kept getting intense, the flames from my anger kept me warm. I wasn’t going to bend so easily. Ellington smirked.

“What are you doing Leo? Why is wrong with you? You never wanted to marry this Alpha. What brought about this action?”

“Love, Father. His selflessness made me realize how much he loves me and this family!. As I said, anyone who wants to do anything to him must go through me first”.

“Very well then” Ellington smirked. Just then, I heard a stir. I looked back at Aziel’s body.

Just as I was about to look back at Father, I heard a sound. One I could not decipher. Just then, I felt darkness engulfing me. What was happening?

I closed my eyes in defeat.
