Chapter 240

240 A Tragedy The moment I pointed the gun at Maynard, he raised his face, and our eyes met. It was as if they threw me back in time when I first entered that dorm room and saw him for the first time.

The long brown hair and green eyes sparkled at me. He has now cut his hair down, but they look equally good. I remember he had walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower. After that, so much happened, and he became the first one I accepted. It was a memory of our every-night cuddles that teared me up.

So much happened between us. While he made me feel loved, he also broke my heart in the worst way possible. I remember watching him have sex with Willow at that table in that hotel room. I had to keep my thoughts and my pain to myself while I acted like everything was normal until he rejected me. After that, I almost forgot was ever mates. There was no spark, nothing left.

I was now holding a gun to his head and shaking a little. If I kill him tonight, I will be able to walk free out of here with a lot of information to help my other mates.

“Just think about what he has done to poor Olivia. She did not deserve it,” Marcellus said once he noticed I was taking too much time.

“And the way he cheated on you. How could you forgive him for that?” Poppy added, “Everybody heard how he had a threesome with that hooker. You gave him too much of you and he gave you nothing,”

she added.

I was listening to them and preparing myself for my next move.

“It is okay,” Maynard said, breaking me free from their voices and forcing me to look at him. “Kill me,”

he whispered, and I broke down in tears.

“I cannot!” I lowered the gun because I couldn‘t do it.

“I cannot kill him,” I repeated myself once more. I noticed Poppy was standing too close to me.

“Take a deep breath and think about what will happen to you if you don‘t do it,” Marcellus grunted, but kept his calm by force.

“No! I won‘t be the one serving justice,” I finished and grabbed Poppy, who didn‘t see it coming.

“Hey!” When I held Poppy at gunpoint, Billy yelled, while the others let out a gasp.

“Daddy!” she cried, shaking, while I kept my posture intact.

“Set him free.” I ordered them to untie Maynard‘s hands. They were in shock. It was just a quick decision. I never intended to kill Maynard. I just needed them to believe I would. And I didn‘t even plan to kill Poppy; I was just using her as a shield till we were out of these woods.

“So you are choosing his life even when you know he is a horrible person?” Marcellus was still trying to manipulate me, but I was confident about what I wanted to do. I would rather make Maynard confess to the counselors than kill him myself.

An Alpha committing such a crime should be executed in front of everyone so that everybody takes a lesson from it and thinks twice before doing anything this disgusting.

“Untie him,” I ordered again, but this time, there was a little pain surging through my body. I hunched over once the pain intensified out of the blue.

“Ahhh!” | gasped, wrapping my arm around my stomach and biting my lip to prevent a scream from leaving my lips.

“Enya! What is going on?” Maynard tried to get up, but Billy hit him in the legs to drop him back to his knees.

“I don—t know. I am ju–,” at this point, I had released the gun from my hands as I knelt down and wrapped both my arms around my stomach.

“You thought you could outplay us?” Marcellus let out a laugh, making his people laugh with him.

“What have you done to her?” Maynard was shouting in agony, watching me whimper in pain. It wasn‘t long before I felt a warm liquid running down my thighs.

“Enya!” Maynard‘s lips heaved a gasp while others celebrated it.

“Look what we did.” Marcellus happily spoke to his people, “We killed this monster‘s unborn child,” the moment he explained what a sinister act he had performed. My heart sank in my chest.

The warm liquid was the blood coming down my thighs. I dropped to my knees and started crying while still feeling the pain.

“What?” Maynard was in shock. “Enya! what is going on?” he begged me to tell him what they said was a lie but it wasn‘t. Although it wasn‘t Maynard‘s baby, it was still true that they killed my baby.

“We knew you would never kill that bastard. So we have planned this from the get–go. We fed you poison that was not in the food but on your fork. Because we wanted Maynard to see his baby die, just like my daughter died before my eyes. We wanted him to see you in agony and suffer with you,”

Marcellus hissed evilly, letting out a laugh and then snatching the gun from the ground.

“You thought we would free you and this asshole‘s son after killing him?” Billy groaned as he kicked me in the stomach, and the pain intensified.

“AHHH!” I screamed in agony, falling down on the floor and crying.

“YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE. I WILL KILL YOU ALL,” Maynard shouted, and then everybody went silent. I opened my eyes to see Maynard‘s eyes changing color. He was fighting the wolfbane and was ready to transform.

“Fear not. Before he could transition, it would all be over. Although his mate didn‘t kill him, he will die with his mate tonight.” With those words being said, Marcellus pointed the gun at Maynard, whose bones were cracking as he was getting ready to transform into his wolf form.

And then he fired the gun at Maynard.

The loud noise deafened me and shuddered my body. It was all over for him, and I was the next one in line.
