Chapter 42
Angela
My face rested against the cold metal of the jail cell room that I was thrown in several hours ago and instead of tears that I’d intended to flow down my eyes, I shrieked before moving back.
It was silver.
I touched the skin of my cheek to see it was partially burnt. Since I was a werewolf, I knew it would heal soon but it still hurts as liell
Maybe I was hurting twice because of the pain that won’t stop hitting my chest. I had to force myself to breathe almost all the times I tried breathing like I usually do.
Darius hates me! He hates my guts now! He thinks I betrayed him about something that I don’t even know anything about. Why would I agree to do such a hurtful thing? I even tried to ask him for an audience with Charles, I wanted to ask him how he could concoct such a terrible lie against me but I couldn’t bring myself to complete the statement or maybe it was Darius who didn’t let me complete the statement.
For a moment, I wished I’d not s*upidly and blindly followed Charles words. Maybe if I’d tried to see things for myself or maybe ask Darius about it, it would be different.
I’d been in here for hours. I don’t even know if it was the morning of the next day or afternoon or night.
“I can see you’re enjoying your time here,” A new voice interrupted my thoughts, a few feet away from the cell room where I was. Even if I’d died and displayed in a casket, I would wake up in recognition of that voice.
Daisy! She wasn’t alone. She was with two guys,
“I asked you a question, Angela,” She spat with hatred.
I could hear the s*upid clicking of her heels, echoing over the entire space. The illuminating, unstable light in the room. reflected her figure at intervals and if not for my situation, I could’ve sworn she emerged from a horror movie.
“What do you want?” I grumbled.
My back was against the wall. I hadn’t cried since the entire saga began. Not even when Darius looked at me with broken expression I’d ever seen on his face. Not when he didn’t believe that I might hate him but I would never do thing to betray him. Not even when he turned his back on him despite how much he’d shown me his affection dur past few months. Not even when he ordered his men to throw me in a cell did a tear drop from my eyes.
Daisy dangled a bunch of keys in front of her eyes. She had a wild smile on her lips as if she was taunting me. I looked from her. She wasn’t my problem at the moment, I had other things to think about other than a pathetic lady who was desperate about a man.
“Should I come in or should I not come in?” She asked no one in particular. She twirled the keys in her fingers as she kept a smirk plastered on her face.
“You should be curious about how I got this bunch of keys, she pouted as if disappointed that I didn’t ask her.
“I’m more curious about why you’re here. To mock me?”
The next scene appeared as my words broke loose something inside of her. Like a beast, she rushed to open the big padlock. securing the gates, and dashed towards me.
As I lifted my head to stare at her, she slapped me. Twice!

Chapter 42
The two guys picked me up from the floor as if I meant nothing.

“What are you doing?” I yelled, taken completely aback by her actions. I knew she was crazy but I never knew she was this
crazy.
“You’re supposed to be begging me for your life, you pathetic b*tch, she shrieked, loud enough to break the walls.
“Why would I beg you for my life?” I was too shocked to even stand up and slap her back or something.
“I could ask Darius right now to bend your neck against a wood and cut it off or maybe be a little emote dramatically by asking him to let the pack members stone you to death,”
The look in her eyes was scary. I was seeing a newer version of who she was and I wasn’t comfortable with it. She looked at me not like garbage but worse; particularly something she wanted to get rid of by any means.
“Do that. Get out of this place and ask him to do one of the two things you just mentioned.
GO! I commanded.
I would say anything just to get her out of my presence.
She suddenly grabbed my hair in a way that made my life flash before my eyes and threw me away from the wall. My body collided with the silver gates and I hissed loudly.
She was the daughter of a Beta! She was stronger than I was. I knew where that strength was coming from especially when she was that angry
I stood up from the floor and faced her with no words for me to speak. The two guys held me once again against the silver- coated gates this time. I could feel the pain in my back while Daisy hit my stomach.
“What? C
Cat got your tongue. You always had a mouth on you, didn’t you? Do you want to cry?”
I laughed bitterly taking her aback again. She wanted to see me cry. Her survival might be dependant on that but I wouldn’t give her that satisfaction.
“The last thing you’ll get from me, Daisy will be my tears. Cut me open, beat me up till all my blood flows on this gr but you’ll never see me cry or beg you for my life.
She glared at me. I could see her chest heaving as she breathed loudly and heavily.
“Beg for your life, Angela,” she moved closer to me as if challenging me.
“Never!” I spat.
She smirked. “You do realize that now that you’re in prison, I have the liberty and the shot at getting to Reina first. I would hold her by her hand, bring her here with tears on our faces, and explain to her why her mom is in here. Tell her how horrible and dangerous you are as a person…..
I stopped her before she could continue.
“You would do no such thing.”
“Karel and beg for your life and hers,” she demanded.
“I would do no such thing, Daisy? I replied, staring at her eyes to eyes
Her hips were quaving but I wouldn’t be scared and give in. I know my mom wouldn’t release Reina to Daisy, not even if my life depended on it

“Fine! Deal with whatever the consequences of your actions turn out to be,”
She warned.
“Reina is my child. Not Darius and never will she be a part of the st*pid world you’ve dreamt to build with Darius,”
She moved closer as if she wanted to attack me again. I could see the claws protruding from her fingers but a sudden footstep stopped her.
Someone called her by her name. She turned for a minute before she faced me again.
“I’ll be back,” she pointed at me. “But this time, not alone and you’ll beg so hard, I wouldn’t listen to you,”

I didn’t say a word till she was out of the door. She locked me back in the cell and threw the key at whoever was lurking in the shadows. It was probably one of the warriors who gave her the keys.
Suddenly, someone coughed. I jumped in fear of the unknown thought the other jails were empty.
“Darkness loves darkness. I’m not surprised she’s still obsessed with Darius,”
“What?”
“Surprised to see me. Angela, daughter of Johnson, I presume.
There was only one man who I knew called me like that but it wasn’t possible. He couldn’t possibly be here unless I hear ghosts now.
Because he was dead!
