After executing her, he found out she was carrying his child.
“I’M PREGNANT!”
Those words resonate in my ears. Before I can stop the swinging of the axe, Emma is dead and her body slumps to the ground. Everyone who attended the execution looks on her body with great sadness, there is not one person smirking or smiling like Melanie said there would be. Melanie told me that the pack hate Emma, that she is the pack hore who enticed mated and unmated males to her, just so she could have them and advance her position within the pack.
But none of the faces of my pack members who are present are telling me this, they all look devastated. Before anyone can do anything thing I turn to the executioner.
“Cut her open, I want to see if what she said is true.” I say.
Everyone turns to look at me, Melanie is smiling with glee while everyone else is looking horrified.
“Alpha, don’t you think you have done enough to this poor girl? At least let her have some dignity in death.” The executioner says to me.
“No, I want to know the truth. DO IT!” I shout at him, but he resists my alpha order, what happened?
“I will not.” He says, laying down his axe.
“Then I will.” Melanie says, going to grab the axe.
SLAP! I stand there shocked; Mr Locke stands between Melanie and Emma’s body. He has just slapped her, my Luna, his daughter. I want to do something, punish him but his face is something I have never seen before, and it stops me in my tracks.
“Don’t you dare touch her! Emma did nothing to either of you, and instead of focusing on her and her dignity you are more than happy to chop her up. You touch her and you will deal with me!” Mr. Locke shouts at us.
“Move aside father, I have every right to order her to be cut open.” Melanie shouts.
“Over my dead body. You are no daughter of mine, look what you did to your little sister. You always called her trash and filth, but I think it is you who is the trash and filth of this pack. I, Dennis Locke, hereby cut all ties with Melanie Locke. I am no longer considered to be your father, you are a disgrace to my family and you are no longer a part of it.” Mr. Locke says calmy, too calmy.
I watch as Melanie falls to the ground, the bonds between her and her wolf are severed with her father and his wolf, meaning that both man and beast meant the words they spoke to her. Everyone stands there shocked, including myself. Never before have I seen a parent and wolf disown their own pup.
I have heard of it happening on rare occasions, but they were normally when one side was being punished and to save the other from the pain and loss the family tie rejection would be carried out. But to do it by choice has never been heard of until now.
“Father…why?” Melanie cries.
“You are no child of mine; you are a disgrace to this family. How could you behave in such a disgusting way? I am sorry that I let your mother twist you into such an evil creature. You both deserve each other; nothing will ever come from you and the Alpha other than just hatred and other evil deeds. You proved that with your coronation.” Mr Locke says, looking at Melanie with disgust in his eyes.
Melanie stays on the floor crying but I am buried in my thoughts. What if she really was pregnant?
Then you deserve to burn in hell! Pipes up Dee. My wolf has not spoken to me since I rejected that she wolf, and even when I needed him he refused to come forward, refusing to mark Melanie and even to protect me when I needed him to shift.
Then you would burn with me.
I would suffer through it; you deserve only the worst for what you did to our mate.
But she might not have been pregnant.
Go to the hospital and pull her medical files scumbag. You’ll find out then, wont you? Dee doesn’t even wait for a reply, he just puts the block back up.
I walk through the pack grounds towards the hospital which is at the other end of the territory, and I notice people casting disgusted looks my way. At first I think nothing of it, but then more and more do it and even a group of teenage pups move away from me. Someone must have mind linked them that Emma was dead, and they resented that their true Luna was killed. But then Melanie was their Luna, and they will like it or lump it.
I finally make it to the hospital, and I walk in and up to the desk in reception which is currently being manned by a male doctor. He looks familiar but I cannot place him.
“Hello and how can I… oh it’s you. What do you want?” The doctor on reception asks me.
“Is that anyway to greet your alpha?” I ask angrily. How dare he disrespect me?
“I see no alpha here, only a boy playing dress up.” He says, throwing Emma’s words at me.
Before I can respond he walks away into the filing room. I know that he is going to go and get me the file, but his attitude stinks and I am not happy about it. I want to rip his head off to show people that they cannot disrespect me, but at this point he would beat me in a fight as Dee still has the block in place.
“Here is the medical file, Alpha. Just know that I am appalled by what you and Luna done to that girl. When I saw her two days ago I came to you and asked you to let her go and leave the pack. But instead you killed her.” The doctor says, handing over the file.
“Do you resent your alpha, doctor?” I ask after noticing his attitude towards me.
The doctor turns and walks away but then stops and says over his shoulder, “Yes, you treated an innocent young girl so despicably and stopped anyone being able to help her. You are a disgrace to the title of Alpha.”
I look down at the medical file in my hand, this holds the truth as to whether Emma was right, or Melanie was right. A part of me doesn’t want to open it as I already suspect the truth, but I know I have to. I have to end this farce today.
