Chapter 8

作者: Magnolia
Within three days, the pack reached a verdict: Selene was to have her eyes cut out at the Moon Goddess's altar — and be cast out.

When they dragged her to the altar, she was still kicking and screaming.

"Help me — Dad — Mom — Damien —"

They just stood there. Watching. Like they wanted to tear her apart with their bare hands.

The last three days, they'd dug up everything.

The pack stood in a ring around the open-air altar and watched Selene get forced down in front of the law-stone.

  • Alpha Went Crazy After Locking Me in the Dungeon for Six Years   Chapter 9

    The full moon came around again. Alpha Kane stood at my grave.He'd put a picture of me as a child inside a small moonstone frame and hung it from his neck."Lyra. My love. Does it sound foolish, me calling you that now?"Since they'd buried me, he'd been drinking. Every night.Late at night, he'd carry my picture down into the dungeon where I had spent six years.And run his fingers over the marks I'd scratched into the wall.I'd been down there six years. Every full moon, I'd carved one line into the wall.Some of them were deep. Some I'd had to put my whole body into.Some were so faint they barely showed.There were nights I was so exhausted I could barely lift my hand.He had never known what those nights had been like for me. He had never known what was being done to me down there.By the time he did, it was too late.He'd taken rubbings of every mark. He'd laid them out on the grass by my grave.His full moons had become long."Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one…"A few of t

He picked up the silver knife."Selene. For impersonating the Luna. For crimes against this pack.""No."Selene's screams had gone hoarse. "You kept me. You told me I was your daughter —""Shut up."Kane gripped her jaw. There was nothing in his eyes but hate.My father read on. "For acts of cruelty against —""I didn't do those things. I'm your daughter. You're the ones who insisted on dragging her back —"Selene shook her head. Her hair fell across her face.Everyone watched he

  • Alpha Went Crazy After Locking Me in the Dungeon for Six Years   Chapter 7

    Kane had Selene locked in the dungeon. Then he carried my body home — to the home I'd spent my whole life dreaming of.His voice was wrecked when he looked up at my family. "Find out. Every single day of her life. And in that dungeon — those six years — find out what was done to her.""How… how did it come to this?"My family looked like they'd been played.The fury of being lied to was the first thing Damien felt.And worse — the "sister" he'd loved had been a monster the whole time. And she'd cost him his real one.To indulge that sister, he'd let the Alpha bleed me. He'd watched it for six years.There had been moments of pity. But the next breath, he'd tell himself it was for my own good.Once everything settled, once the family was at peace — nothing would really have changed.He hadn't seen this coming.He'd only — felt something for Selene he shouldn't have.How had I been bled to death?How was I the real mate?He sat on the floor, staring at our parents.They were on the couch

    The papers on the floor. The blood-draw records. Everyone in the hall could see it now.The Moon Goddess must have been merciful. She hadn't let my soul vanish completely. She'd left part of me behind.Kane felt the bond-flame guttering out. Felt me leaving him for real. He let go of Selene's throat and pulled my body into his arms.That was when he noticed the bruises. Both arms. Purple and black, layered on top of layers.Skin that pale was almost translucent. The cracks in my fingernails were still there.Where some had been ripped off, the new skin underneath was no longer pink. The blood had drained from it. It had turned wax-pale. Almost see-through.He reached out and touched my face.I could feel him shaking. His whole body was shaking.Cold. The cold of a body that's finally stopped trying to hold its own warmth.My skin didn't give under his fingers. The curve of my mouth was set hard.His fingers moved from my cheekbone to my jaw. From my jaw to my ear. He smoothed the hair

    "Where's the doctor? Where is the doctor?"Kane didn't even hear the panic in his own voice.I lay on the stone, listening. Nothing moved in me anymore.No anger. No grief. Not even sadness.It was like my body had taken my feelings with it when it left.I just watched them. Once they were sure I was dead, they'd all feel better…The pack doctor came running. His face was bloodless. He was shaking.Damien frowned. "If she's stable, take her to a sickroom. We need to get Selene home. She's had a shock. She needs rest."The doctor didn't move.His lips trembled. It took him a moment to find his voice."Alpha… Beta… Miss Lyra — she's gone.""What did you say?" Kane's voice climbed. "That's impossible. She had a knife in her hand a minute ago.""There's massive internal bleeding in her abdomen. Organ rupture from blunt-force trauma. She'd been losing blood for too long. We missed the window.""That's not —" Damien lurched forward and dropped to his knees beside me."Lyra?" He grabbed me. H

  • Alpha Went Crazy After Locking Me in the Dungeon for Six Years   Chapter 4

    Kane saw the blood. His breath caught.His hand went to his own chest.But Selene got there first. She dropped to the floor."Kane, Damien, I'm scared. I'm dizzy — there's something wrong with her blood, I can't even look at it — has she cursed me with her hate?"Every eye snapped to her. Kane's whole expression tightened.Damien panicked."Selene, it's okay. She did this to herself. If she'd just behave for once and leave you alone, none of this would be happening."What was there left to explain?Something in me went quiet.I waited for the next blow.The crying stopped. The trembling stopped.Selene was still sobbing into Kane's chest.Her voice was thin and soft. Like a hurt kitten.Over his shoulder, those tear-filled eyes locked on me.The rod came down again.This time I couldn't hold it. Every organ in me screamed at once. Blood burst out of my mouth.Kane's body jerked, sharp and obvious.Selene blinked once and gasped."I know what it is! That's why her blood is so strange! I
