Love and Lies

Chapter 10 - New Wolves

Moonbeam's POV

I woke up abruptly. I looked around and tried to get up but something wasn't letting me. I looked down at my body to find myself chained to a metal chair within an empty, concrete room. My hands were covered in blood, my arms were full of deep cuts and scars, and my clothes had holes and rips everywhere I looked. I looked down at the floor around me to see a pool of-what I assumed to be my own-blood.

I examined the room once again trying to see if there was an escape. I hadn't been awake for long but I knew that I was in for hell and more. I studied every crevice, crack, and bump in the walls. I searched for any door, window, or hole that would help me escape. However, no matter how hard I looked, all I saw was a steel door, four walls, and a dirty concrete floor. The walls were splattered with dark red flecks, the floor was covered with dirt and grime and the door had a bloody hand print on it.

I was thoroughly creeped out and no matter how many times I told myself that there was nothing to be afraid of, I could feel my fear growing every second I was in here. I knew that lying to myself wasn't going to help at all but I didn't want to face the reality that I was most likely going to die in this room.

I heard about five locks come undone before the steel door swung open. The man that used to be Liam came into the dimly lit room. His dark figure came closer to me until I could see his nasty, twisted, evil smile and the wry twinkle in his eyes. My wolf snarled and growled but he couldn't hear her since she was in my head.

"Why hello there, prophecy girl. You are finally awake and so the fun will begin." He gave a dark chuckle and came closer to me yet. I didn't move because I knew there wasn't any escaping him, at least not while I was in chains...silver chains at that. He slowly drew closer, his shadow being thrown against the wall and adding to the eerie feeling in the room.

"Now, I want you to meet some people. They are the very people who hired me to kill you and led me to you. You can come in now!" His dirty smirk grew wider when he saw my eyes widen in pain and anger.

The very people who I trusted the most were the ones who had sent me to my death. My sister and her mate, my brother, my mate, and my alpha stood before me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The sinister people before me were the most important people in my life, the ones who helped me continue to live my life, and now they will be the ones to take my life.

"Why?" It came out as a rough whisper but I knew they had heard me. The man before me laughed nastily and turned towards all of the traitors.

"Go ahead. Tell her why you betrayed her." They all stared at me before my sister spoke.

"You....you aren't normal. You are the reason our parents died and I hate you for it. My hatred for you multiplied when I found out who and what you really are. Sister? Never. You were never my sister. Not back then and definitely not now." She took out a knife, walked right in front of me and slowly slid the knife down my bare arms.

"It hurts doesn't it? It feels like acid is burning away your skin, does it not? Want to know why? I soaked this knife in wolf's bane. The deadliest liquid that a werewolf could ever come in contact with. The feeling of acid? That's the wolf's bane slowing down your werewolf healing. If I'm lucky, this cut will scar, forever reminding you that you belong no where, that is, if you live that long." She let out a laugh, a deep, darkened laugh.

"I don't understand. What did I do?" I couldn't fathom anything that was bad enough to deserve this. Bane then stepped forward.

"What did you do? You ruined our life. Our parents died for you, an ugly mutt that doesn't belong in this world. They died for someone who didn't have their blood." My head snapped up and my eyes widened.
