Elena pov

My fist collided with her face repeatingly, blood gushing from her nose down to her chin at this point, splatters of blood now staining my face and shirt, the anger was seeping from every one of my pores, radiating off like waves. her hand shoots up to grab my hair, I quickly grab them, and pin them above her head. I continue my assault, the skin of my knuckles breaking from hitting her. I cant feel that pain anymore, I'm numb as seen her struggle. The sound of her heartbeat, louder than my own. I don't want to stop, i cant, I want to stop her heartbeat, for good this time. Emmett and Liv are screaming at me from the side, Emmett tugging on my arm, breaking me from my trance.

Should i stop? probably. but i dont, not until her struggles freeze and her breathing slows enough to show she's knocked out. Only then do i get up, signalling one of the warriors to me and huffing out,

"take her to the dungeons, lock her in a private cell away from any other contact, strip her of her possessions and check over her texts and email." he nods gingerly, and i turn to Emmett. Two other people coming to help carry Elizabeth to the cell. Emmett looks at me, instead of horror or anger, a concerned look crosses his face, Liv rushes to my side as well, both checking out my body. I brush them off, grabbing their wrists and pulling them inside, rushing into Santiago office, I close the door behind me.

"What to explain what the hell just happened?" Emmett asks, anger laced in his concerned voice. I huff out a chuckle, which twists his face into a shocked expression.

"I overheard a little conversation between her and someone on the phone last night." Suddenly out of breath, i take a seat at the front of the desk at the end of the room. I can feel my baby moving round, kicking me in the ribs as we spoke. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest, what was happening I don't know, but it scared me. None the less, I continued to explain. "She was talking about an assault, she needed you for someone."

"Ever think maybe it was a joke, or a friend of mine?" Rage engulfed my mind, after everything, he still defended her.

"Someone sent her here, for you!" My fists were clenched, my knuckles turning a pale shade of white from the grip, I look over at Liv. She's concerned, I know that. "Liv can you give us some time?" she nods and leaves as quietly as possible.

"Someone sent her here to get you to go with her, someone is after you." His eyes roll as he turns, running his hands through his hair.

"Elena, maybe you heard wrong or-" I cut his off, suddenly hurt beyond words.

"Why is it so hard to believe?" I stand up again, my head a woozy from getting up to fast. I fumble a bit, grabbing the desk for support. He reaches out to help, i hold out my hand. "No." i say, we stand in silence. The rears are building up in my eyes, burning my cheeks as they run down. Taking in a deep breath, blinking away the tears left. "I don't trust her Emmett, and she will stay in the dungeons, until I decide what to with her." I turn towards him, his face is sad, eyebrows scrunched, eyes lowered. It hurt to see him that way, but hurt more knowing he wasn't sad for me, he was sad for her.

"I'm leaving after the battle," that catches his attention, "Maybe you should stay here." I stride towards the door, head high, i won't show him im hurt anymore. "Figure out what you what Emmett, you can't have us both." I open the door, and walk half way out,

"Elena.." he mutters, I freeze.

"Goodbye Emmett."

Emmett Pov

What was i doing. Why was I doing this to her. Seeing her like that, in pain, i broke a piece of me off. Elizabeth was under my skin, I knew I didn't love her, I just had to protect her. I had to believe she would do the same, that she'd protect me because she loved me. Please tell me i'm right.

I stood in the empty room for a few minutes, until i couldn't hear Elena's heartbeat, until i could smell her anymore. Rushing out of the room, and down the stairs, I point to the closed security Wolf,

"Take me to Elizabeth, and I want a file on the case." he nods and starts walking towards the prison entrance, "I want everything you've gotten off her phone so far, records, everything."

"Yes sir." We reach the entrance, and two more men are blocking the way.

"Move." I say, half growling. They're startled for a few seconds, before regaining their composure.

"I'm afraid the Luna is currently Investigating the prisoner, no one is permitted access until she says so." He says. All of a sudden, a scream is heard outside of the door. A female scream. My protective instincts are on overdrive. I push the guards out of the way, following me, we run into the compound. All the way at the end of the tunnel is Elena and Elizabeth. My eyes immediately go to Elena, a new red burn mark shown proudly on her arm. They don't see us just yet, their too caught up in the fight to acknowledge me and the guards. Holding out my arm, i stop the guards in their tracks, bringing a finger to my lips to shush them.

"Who are you working for?" Elena says calmly, not showing any fear or anger. Elizabeth on the other hand is fuming.

"You psycho bitch!" Elizabeth starts, "You really think anyone would believe you?" I take that as a sigh to get out of there. I signal the guards to leave, and hide behind a tower of boxes in a far corner. I watch the conversation unfold in front of me.

"Who?" (Elena)

"What does it matter?" (Elizabeth)

"It matters to me."

"Sucks for you." (Elizabeth)

"Why then?"

"You have everything, A mate, and baby, a title. Emmett chose to change me, and he left for you. You took him from me. It should be me pregnant, a luna side by side with him. She promised me, I bring you to her, I get Emmett. All to myself." (Elizabeth)

"She?" Elizabeth chuckles under her breath.

"Lets say, shes an old friend of yours." she turns toward me, her eyes a bright shade of blue. "She says hello." The chains she's in, coated in Wolfsbane, only used for the worst of the worst. She grabs it and screams from the pain, then whips it. It striked Elena's face and pushes her to the ground. Elena's eyes turn red, and Elizabeth goes down.
