Chapter 2

**Laura POV*

I held my breath, praying that she would be my saving grace until she finally stepped into full view. Making me gulp.

“Sonia!” I screamed hopefully, my hands outstretched towards her feet, I suddenly felt a ray of hope as she had walked in right on time to save me, for she was my best friend. “Please help me talk Alex out of his craziness” I said my voice feeble and brittle “ He's acting strange and I don't know why?”

I couldn't move my body, whatever was in that cookie was very potent as it quickly weakened my defenses.

I almost sighed out in relief when she turned to look at Alex with an angry look on her face and she said “ Why didn't you gag her? dummy” Sonia ssid spitefully, as I gasped in shock . No, Not her too!.

“I didn't because, I wanted to listen to her shout for help, knowing that no one was going to come to her aid” Alex said with a smirk on his face. I clenched my stomach in pains as they both laughed hysterically, they stopped when their gaze met mine.

“I would have loved to have her gaged though and make her watch us make love, as we've always done behind her back.” she said with a devilish laugh.

She grabbed his bulging erection in her hand and turned to look at me. “ Do you know how many times I wanted to suck on this dick but couldn't because I was afraid you would be watching?” she deadpan, eyeing me in disgust. My heart dropped to my belly when It finally occurred to me that, the two of them were intimate, fucking each other behind my back for a long time.

“You've been cheating on me with my best friend?” I snarled at Alex who didn't spare me a glance as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Oh yes, he has” she snapped. “Only that you got it wrong. He hasn't been cheating on you with me, he has been cheating on me with you”

I furrowed my brow at her in confusion.

“What she meant is that, we've been together even before you came into the picture Laura.” Alex said.

“Why me Sonia, we are best of friends”

“I have always wanted to be luna” Sonia replied. “ I knew you were next in line to your father and whoever you got married to automatically becomes the Alpha.” she scoffed. “At first, I didn't know how to go about it, seeing that we weren't related by blood until you found out that your mate was my boyfriend!” she yelped in excitement.

“You should have told me” I cried my voice sounded like a broken record.

“Why would I? When I saw you as the opportunity to getting what I've always wanted, which is to be Luna. With Alex in the picture, you made everything possible.” she said with a devilish laugh.

“The plan was to get married to you and kill you after he becomes Alpha. But then you were so loved up, which only made my plan easier. “ I will be pronounced luna after we get married, such a pity you won't be alive to witness it.” she seethed.

I felt droplets of hot tears cascade down my cheek at the realization that, this two people, the ones I trusted the most were the same one who betrayed me to the point of taking my life.

“You can have him, he's all yours.” I continued rolling on the floor, hoping it would sooth the pain in my tummy but it didn't.

“I want your throne too. Would you give that to me?” she asked, I didn't answer. There was no way I would give up my birth right to her. She pulled a dagger out of her bag. “ Please don't hurt me!? I cried out in fear as cold shivers ran down my spine. “Alex, Sonia, please, you don't have to do this.” but they paid no attention to my plea.

“As much as I love the sound of her voice, her screams, irritates me.” Sonia looked at Alex who returned her gaze with a confused expression.

“What do you want me to do about that?” he asked shrugging his broad shoulders.

“Are you this dumb! must I tell you everything?. Gag her” she said with a menacing growl. Alex brought out a dirty sock from his pocket as he stride towards me about to secure my mouth when I immediately bite into the flesh of his hand.

“Arrh. You fucking bitch!” he screamed smacking my face. Immediately his hand connected with my face, my head reeled, almost snapping off my neck. He smacked me again and again until my eyes were blood shot. Fresh tears pooled down my face when he landed a ferocious blow to my stomach. I felt something warm and wet trickling down between my legs and I knew even without being told that it was my baby’s blood.

“Alex! You just killed our baby”

“So you think lying about a pregnancy will save you?” Sonia grimaced at me.

“I am not making this up. Sonia, I'm pregnant!” I retorted.

“If you're truly pregnant, there's one way to find out” she purred.

“What are you trying to do baby?” Alex called her from behind.

“I'm trying to cut her open so I can see the baby for myself” she said, her voice laced with venom. “You don't have to do that” Alex deadpan. “Oh yes I do, I asked you to go to her, be with her. I never asked you to get her pregnant!” she sneered at Alex.

“It just happened, I never planned for any of this!” he yelled at her. “ Just kill her and let's go already” he added.

“You know what? why don't you kill her yourself?” Sonia replied handing the dagger to Alex. Eyes wide open as I watched in horror. He walked towards me and crouched.“I'm sorry baby” he whispered to me. My heart racing as he raised the knife and plummeted it against my stomach with so much force, as it torn into my skin leaving sizzling noises in it's wake.

He didn't stop as he continued stabbing into every part of my body until my body stoppe moving
