Bethany-

Secrets are dangerous, just one tiny slip up could cause an earthquake, destroying everything and everyone , physically and most times mentally. The bond you shared with someone built by nothing but truths could easily be demolished by a single secret , it's  like the ultimate weapon.

After my mother had announced her truths everyone got quite, the silent arrived once again, but I wasn't. I wanted to leave, leave out of that suffocating room, I was angry, angry that my mother couldn't tell her own daughter her secret, angry for the fact that I thought we shared a bond, I told her everything and yet she couldn't, not even about my werewolf genes until it was too late, not about my father who I assumed was the douche bag that had no material for being a father and now this, what else could she hold more?. I've got my shares of secrets , my life back then was basically built out of secrets and those secrets affected my love ones and me.

I got out of the room, finally able to breath from all the secrets suffocating me, I turned around to find Sally her expression showed pity, pity for me that my mother couldn't trust me, but I didn't want any pity, not from her or my mate or anyone, I don't need pity, I looked at Sally expressionless my usual expression, she walked towards me but stopped as I step away from her

"Beth-"

she begins but I didn't let her finish or better yet continue for I already knew what she wanted to say

"Sally look, I don't need pity from you or anyone, I've had my whole life suffocating me and drowning me with all the secrets I can handle this secret"

I turn away and extend the room wanting somewhere no one can get to me for a few hours. I  walked towards the forest, I had only one place to go which was my house, a house that was meant only for me, and only for me, no packs , no mate or alpha's  but myself, a home that holds no secrets but my own, I shifted into a masked wolf careful not to let my true color show, I ran and ran the smell of nature and the sound of the wind passing by, I felt at peace and I loved it.

Once I arrived at my house I quickly ran inside but once I entered I was suddenly stopped by the scene my home held, the horror and so much blood, the floor covered in blood and bodies, bodies of the maids and workers , their blood in places that shouldn't be, body parts scattered everywhere staining the floor, I scanned the area and walked more inside, inside the place where I was supposed to be at peace, to  comfort me from everything but  instead I discover something more horrifying, the maids I had become fond of lying lifeless. I bent down staining my clothes with someones blood, closing the open lifeless eyes of the once I knew, everything and everyone was gone or stained, who else could be so vile and massacred innocent people, people who happened to be at my home, my home that everyone died in.

I've  killed many but for a reason, but this , this was no reason at all then to horrify me, who ever did this wanted to get his or her message through and I intended to find out who did this, I will give them justice . I walked more, to the kitchen to find it the same, to the empty rooms that I haven't even set foot in, every room I find is covered in blood and bodies, the more I walked the same result I get, I stopped in front of my room which had the door wide open and a writing of

"come in"

written in blood, written on the brown door. I walked inside and found it untouched , no blood , not a mess of any, I walked to my bathroom and discovered letters written in blood, this made me froze even more, made my head dizzy and my breath paused, made memories I wanted to forget resurface and heart wrenching emotions, I recognized the writing so easily, so easily that it hurts to see, I remembered  the way he wrote his name on the back of my hand, the way he would draw an infinity sign on my marriage finger and that one special symbol he loved, to know that the written letters looked so much and the exact symbol- not looked but it is exactly like-

"Liked my surprise?, don't worry there more of that coming, unless you hand yourself over"

"Love A'

exactly like- "Alexander "

But he's dead and why would he hurt me.

Oh I don't maybe cause you caused him his life.

My inner thought whispers and that familiar guilt lingers above my heart.
My heart throbs in a familiar pain. Just the thought of Ryder being alive scares me.
