CHAPTER-2: You killed my Father

Angela's eyes broadened as she shook her head. Yes, for a short period of time in her school she had a crush on Jordan but she was just ten years old at that time for god's sake. And that letter… That was for Gideon.

“I… no. I don’t love him. I love you. I didn’t betray you, Gideon. This video is manipulated! Jordan, Why are you doing this? Please tell them it’s not true. We didn’t do anything!” Angela sobbed.

Jordan shook his head as if he had nothing to do with her.

“I told you Angela, I can’t accept your love when you proposed to me. I asked you to stop pursuing me because you are a human. But you stoop to the level to get me that you spiked my drink and take advantage of me and my respect for you, Angela. I feel ashamed and disgusted with myself to get involved with you like this even if I was not conscious at the time. I will accept any punishment from Alpha. In that way the guilt will be lifted off my shoulders.” Jordan expressed with utmost regret.

Angela couldn't help but gape openly at him. What he was saying was utterly ridiculous and all lies. He was her best friend in school, always kind and protected her from the bullies.

“My poor son,” Victoria consoled him and glared at Angela with much disdain. Esther stepped forward.

“She is still pretending. I am sure she hurt my friend, Daniela, so she couldn’t marry you. She just wanted to be Luna and have both Woodbead brothers on her fingers. She is dangerous, Brother. She ruined our family! She should be punished severely!” Esther participated, putting the oil on fire.

Angela’s blood boiled at their facade, she felt like she was living her worst nightmare which she never imagined. They really wanted to get rid of her?

“Yes, Gideon. George would have killed her on the spot for committing this sin being a Luna Queen of the pack. But she also put him on the death bed. She not only disgraced the whole packdom but your reputation too.” Fin, brother of George Woodbead, said carefully.

That was another trap against Angela, someone poisoned Gideon’s father George and put the entire blame on her.

“I didn’t do anything!” Angela screamed and was about to go to Jordan when Gideon pulled her back with force hurting her soft fleshes.

“Not so fast, Wife!” Then He snapped his fingers and two guards entered with Henry Clampitt and Maya Clampitt in their hold. They hurled their bodies forward on the floor in front of Gideon.

Angela’s eyes broadened seeing their condition. “Father, Mother!”

Henry Clampitt spared an angry glare at Angela’s way before he fell on his knees in front of his Alpha King.

"Alpha. Have mercy on us. I swear I didn't know Angela would do such a vile thing. But I won't beg you for her life. This foolish human must be punished for her sins.” He begged, bowing his head.

Gideon smirked seeing the drama of the pathetic beta of his father begging to him. Isn’t this family a whole joke in the Shadowcrest pack?

But He was intrigued by what kind of Father Henry Clampitt was. He could see the contempt and disappointment for Angela in his eyes.

Maya Clampitt too fell on her knees and joined her hands.

“Angela never listened to us so we sent her away from the Packdom to let her study with other humans. But she forgot how our world works. We apologise on her behalf, Alpha. For her betrayal, she must be punished, even if you kill her, we won't even blink eyes.” She pleaded.

“Yes yes, That's what she deserves. She always hated werewolves, maybe that’s why she sought revenge from us. We tried our best to raise her well despite her being human. But she was never satisfied, always jealous of Daniela. Only the moon goddess knows where my Daniela is now. Angela is like a bad omen for us. Please punish her, Alpha. We atone for her sins!” Henry immediately followed his wife.

Angela felt like someone threw a cold bucket of water on her. She knew her parents never loved her, Daniela was the only princess of the house. A few months ago they called Angela to come home from her university for Gideon and Daniela's marriage but Daniela got kidnapped when Angela went shopping with her the day before her marriage. Everytime tried to search for her but till now nobody could trace her so her father offered Angela to Gideon for marriage.

Angela knew nothing of their plan but was told that if she didn’t marry then the Woodbead family would kill them all. So she was the sacrificial goat to marry the Alpha to bear his heir. But she never imagined her own parents would sign a death certificate for her like this.

“H..how could you both do this to me? I am your blood. Your own daughter. It’s not my fault that Daniela got kidnapped. It’s not my fault that you married me to Gideon for the heir! How could you ask him to kill me?” Angela screamed, with anger and hurt in her tone.

“Interesting!” Gideon smiled wickedly, which terrified the couple. They knew the Alpha king known for his brutal punishment, He doesn't give a warning before creating an execution.

Gideon could see how hard they were trying to save their asses by holding their daughter on the tip of the sword.

“You and your daughters brought nothing but shame to the Woodbead family, to me, Henry. They deserved nothing but death, including you…”

Henry’s eyes widened as he glared at Angela who swallowed hard. He just wanted to skin her alive.

“But before that I want to hear something from you.” Gideon stood in front of him. “How old is Angela Clampitt?”

Henry’s spine chilled as he thought nobody would ever know as her age wouldn't matter to anyone but now it does. Because he married her off to the Alpha King by lying. Lying about her age. There were many things which he and his wife planned that were unknown to anyone.

“Six months ago Angela Clampitt was married to me saying that she is eighteen. She will never defy me, she will be my perfect Luna and bore my heir. Those were your words, Henry!” Gideon stated before crouching to his level and smirking devilishly. His stormy eyes darkened into the shade of black as the rage erupted in his entire being and his wolf surfaced.

Henry trembled, listening to his Alpha’s rough voice. He knew what was coming for him. Death!

“Didn't I tell you what the consequences would be if you or your family ever betrayed me!” Gideon’s voice turned low and Henry threw his head into his feet.

“Please Alpha, have mercy. I respect you and my dear friend George but we are innocent. Angela should be the one to get punished. She made me do this!” Henry begged while his wife also sobbed seeing their death near. Angela stood there numb in disbelief of his lies. Her own father wanted her dead to save himself.

“Just kill her.. no, don’t dirty your hands. I will kill her!” Henry growled while glaring at Angela and rose to his feet to hurt her. Angela stepped back in fear and let out a low scream, expecting the strike from her father like old times when he used to beat her when the ground beneath them shook hard as the loud growl echoed through the dungeon.

Dash stepped back silently as the bloody head of Henry was hurled around at the corner near him. Wrath, Gideon’s wolf beheaded him in a second with his long claws. He was breathing heavily in the fury. Henry’s headless body fell back with a soft thud on the concrete ground.

The fool thought he still had the right over Angela to hurt her. Nobody would hurt her but Him.

Loud scream let out by Maya’s mouth as the excruciating pain hit her with the death of her mate.

Angela’s voice stuck in her throat in terror. Her father was dead. Her husband killed him. Her breath labored, she wanted to scream, to cry but she couldn't. Terrier gripped her entire being badly.

Silent tears rolled down her cheeks with the loss of her father but it was not intense because her parents never loved her, always abused her physically and mentally as if she were not their blood but a burden.

Ever so slowly she raised swollen red eyes at her husband and froze seeing his face, his pitch black eyes with his canines out. His wolf was on the surface, his claws were dripping with her father’s blood as He stood there all tall and mighty.

“You….you killed my father!” She whispered still in shock.
