My heart throbbed painfully as I looked down at the powerful alpha. My blood, it caused this. I can only imagine what it can do to any normal wolf. I was a monster. A killer.

“This bitch needs to die for hurting our alpha!” Beta Samuel roared, his canines flashing as his bright blue glowing eyes glared at m e deadly. He snarls as he fights against Eli and Chris.

Eli roared, pushing his Beta back by wrapping his fingers around his neck and with the help of Chris manages to slam Samuel into the far wall, away from me. Eli snarls, “She’s now our luna! Xavier just told you to leave her. So you will LEAVE HER!”

Beta Samuel looked furious that Eli and Chris were getting in his way again. He spat, his eyes still so cold and deadly glaring at me. “Alpha Xavier is still in a bad shape, he may not even know what he’s saying right now.”

.

“Which makes it even better to leave her until he wakes up fully. He has claimed her, her death alone would destroy him no matter if he hates her or not. Until then, you will not touch one single strand on her head. Eli snaps, impatience rolling off his tongue roughly.

Beta Samuel’s eyes narrowed down on Eli ” This is not your decision to make

“You’re right. It’s my brother’s decision, “Lily cuts in, her tone soft yet her eyes were deep with anger and betrayal. Lifting her gaze to mine she whispers.

“We will wait until my brother is awake. You’ll have our protection until then.” She nods curtly, tearing her gaze away from me quickly as though repulsed by the mere sight of me. My stomach wrenches at her actions and my gaze drop to the floor sadly.

‘I am the Beta of this pack, I will not answer to anyone else

Samuel started again, his rough and dangerous tone had me lifting my gaze back to settle on him. But as the words tumble out of his lips, Lily cuts him off with an edge in her voice. You may be Beta, Samuel, but you’re not our Alpha. My brother is. And if you d o anything to harm his mate, he’d not care that you’ve been with us for years.”

.

Samuel’s eyes flashed in pure rage, his eyes moving off Lily to glower at me. “You would protect a girl who has poisoned your brother?” He sneered in disbelief.

Lily’s chin tilt up, her eyes blazing with anger. “I will protect my brother’s mate until he tells me otherwise.”

Her gaze swiftly sweeps over to me, the anger replaced by saddened betrayal “She may have caused this but she’s still bounded to my brother. I’m simply looking out for him, I would not want to see my brother wallow in sorrow if his mate dies. I have seen him moum far too much as it is already. I will not see my brother in any more pain.”

Beta Samuel glared at Lily in vexation obviously upset that no one was on his side.

“She’s a

He started to roar again but it was Chris now who snarled this time. “Enough Samuel. Lily is right, we should wait for Alpha to wake up. We can’t be too hast on our decisions, not without him.”.

Canines flashing in fury, Samuel barks. “If all of you want to protect a monster then so be it. I’m not going to play any part in this. If so happens Alpha doesn’t wake up, it will be your fault. Not mine!” Pushing Eli away from him roughly, he pulls his arm out of Chris’s grip harshly, and glares at me one last time before storming out of the room.

It suddenly gets uncomfortably quiet, so quiet that I swore I can hear the pounding of my heart off the walls of the room.

I felt my eyes drift to Xavier, praying he’d wake up any second I didn’t care if he’d kill me the second he awoke, all I cared about at this very moment, was seeing his amber eyes.

And if that was the last sight I would see before I am killed, then so be it.

His chest is rising and falling gently, his breaths on the other hand is now more relaxed, as if he had fallen asleep. His brow twitches as if feeling pain inwardly. My heart grew heavy, hating that I put the most feared alpha this way just by him marking me.

“Bring her to the dungeon.”

The words were dead, no emotion, cold, unfeeling. Far from how it sounded just an hour ago, so different.

I snap my gaze to Lily, my stomach knotting as she looks at her brother and doesn’t spare me a glance.

“Lily?” Eli asked in confusion.

Lily tears her gaze from her brother and looks over at Eli blankly. “Bring her to the dungeon so she would not harm my brother

anymore. When he’s awake, he’ll give you further instructions. For now, I want her out of my sight.”

Her words are so cold that I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I press myself closer to the wall, wishing it would swallow me whole.

“Lily

Rodrick started, his eyes holding nothing but pity for me. But Lily shook her head and with more strictness in her voice, she grits out. “I want her away from Xavier, away from me, away from our people. We don’t know what else she can do just by standing there.

Her words hurt. But I understood her anger.

“Lily-” I said, finally finding my voice only for her to stop me with a voice that pierced my heart.

“Don’t. Just don’t right now Aurora. You’ve betrayed my trust, you’ve betrayed my brother.”

I roll my lips inside my mouth and pressed down hard, my sad gaze on Lily.

Chris who had stayed quiet, spoke up softly. “Are you sure about this Lily?”

Lily nods, her eyes not once sweeping over to me. My stomach drops but I know I deserved her coldness and whatever comes to me next. I should’ve told Xavier about the wolfsbane. I should’ve told him everything.

“Get her out of my sight,” Lily whispers, her voice cracking as she stares at her brother who grunts but doesn’t shift anymore.

I stare at Eli nervously who took a step forward, but the small smile of reassurance on his face made me relax almost instantly.

With a sad look in my eyes, I willingly walk over to him, stiffening slightly when his big hand wrap around my upper arm. “Let’s go. * He says, his tone soft as he tugs me towards the door.

Sarah’s face is a mixture of pity and confusion as she stares at me wordlessly.

Before we walk out, I turned to spare a glance over at Xavier, my heart pounding furiously when his face twitched. But as my eyes sweep over to Lily, it feels like I’m punched in the gut by the look of hurt and pain sketching on her face.

“For what it’s worth Lily, I didn’t mean for this to happen. I never wanted this to happen”My voice cracks with emotion, my lungs burning as I strained myself to not cry:

Lily’s eyes lift from her brother’s figure and she stares at me blankly. I felt my blood run cold by just the look. “I will never trust your words again Aurora.” She shakes her head, ripping her gaze away from me in disgust.

“Come on,” Eli whispers, tugging me forward. With one last stare at Lily and Xavier, we left the room.

Eli doesn’t say much, in fact he’s so quiet that it didn’t suit him. I drop my gaze to the floor as the eyes of the other doctors penetrate through me. I felt naked under their gaze as if I were a sample or a test subject they were peeling off every layer to reveal everything.

But as we neared the door, rushing footsteps strut over to us. I stiffen but relaxed when it was Chris. “In case you need a hand.” He tells Eli as if knowing something might happen.

Or perhaps he didn’t trust me enough to be alone with Eli. They now saw me as the monster I truly was.

I had prepared myself to expect anything else that might happen to me right now, but nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen when we set foot outside the infirmary.

“Monster!” A high screech so loud pierced my eardrums and made it ring.

“Shit,” Eli grumbles under his breath, his grip around my arm growing more firmly. His actions alarmed me enough to make me know something wasn’t right.

“Fucking monster!” Another yelled.

I lift my head only to be met with many eyes of wolves who snarled at me in disgust. But who gained my attention was Beta Samuel standing in front of all the wolves, his arms crossed over his bulging chest, his eyes sending me death stares as his lips lift in a sneer.

There and then, I knew he told everyone what I had done to their Alpha.

I squirm under everyone’s stare, my throat closing up as Chris comes to stand on the other side of me, also gripping my arm as Eli yells. “Move.”

The wolf people part like the red sea, but their eyes remained on me. So cold, so bitter that I shivered.

“You’re a monster!” A woman with a baby propped on her hip yelled loudly, her brown eyes glaring at me.

I looked down at the baby, feeling my heart hurt at the look of fear etched on his tiny little face. Either he was terrified of his mother’s loud tone or terrified of me.

“You’re no Luna of ours! No Luna would poison her Alpha!” The woman continued to yell as a chorus of agreements vibrated through the foggy air.

I sucked in a sharp breath at their words, my eyes quickly prickling with the familiar feeling of incoming tears. I bowed my head i n shame as Eli and Chris guided me away from the angry wolves.

“Don’t worry about them Aurora. Samuel has filled their heads, they’ll come to their senses when they realize you’re not a monster. “Eli worded out softly.

I suppose he was only trying to ease my worries and not make me feel bad about what has happened. But there was only so much h e can do when I already felt like the worst person alive.

For years I’ve always wondered what I truly was only to now find out I was a pixie. But now instead of being relieved or at least happy that I now knew what I was, I was disappointed, disgusted. All because my blood was nothing more than poison.

“Maybe they won’t. Maybe they’re actually right.” I whispered, feeling an ache in my chest. I would rather be normal than a pixie who creates wolfsbane. I’d rather be anything else but a monster.

Eli’s grip around my arm squeezes as he guides me into the packhouse and towards a huge door to the left. “You don’t look like a monster to me Aurora.” He whispers, opening the door. Chris doesn’t agree or disagree, only drops my arm to walk ahead of us.

It’s kind of dark and quite scary as they lead me down a flight of stairs. When we’re at the bottom, the only light coming through was from a window up ahead. In fact, it barely gave enough light to see where we were walking.

But I knew the wolves didn’t need any light, not when they can use their senses and advanced sight,

They were lucky, at least they were not born to be a monster.

I strained my eyes to see around, noting the cell bars around, But then a growl comes tumbling from one of the cells and I flinch back into Eli.

There’s a glow of yellow. A wolf.

Eli only guides me up ahead, whispering that I should keep my gaze ahead and not give in to the curiosity of knowing what other creatures were in those cells.

To keep myself occupied and to ward my mind off the fear I knew without a doubt stenched the area, I began to count the steps it took until we finally stopped.

Eighteen. Eighteen steps.

There’s a loud sharp sound as Chris opens the door of one of the cells. He steps aside, the glow of his eyes telling me that he was using his gifted sight to see around more clearly.

Eli tugs me forward, not harshly, in fact so gently that his actions were reluctant. I step into the cell, feeling the chill of the cold already seep into my bones.

There’s a stench here but I knew better than to tell them about it. “You’ll stay here until Xavier wakes up. Inside here is actually safer for you than up there. Not with the wolves on edge now. “He grumbles, turning around to leave.

When the door is locked, sealing my fate, I whirled around and croaked out. ” Would you let me know when he wakes up?”

Eli looks over at Chris, silently exchanging words through their eyes before he tums back to me. “Yes. But for now rest, because you’re going to need it when he wakes up.” With those parting words, Eli leaves with Chris beside him.

I crunched my brows, looking around the dark area. He wanted me to rest yet there was no bed as far as I can see. Only a cold floor that I suppose would be my bed until God knows when.

I’d take it. I’d take this kind of punishment than dying before I know if Xavier is awake and well.
