She threw her head backwards and laughed. “Protected me? You complained, nagged and fought me every day in the pack because you were worried, I was competing for your love with Rowan. The truth is… Yes, I was. I needed access to your pack and your beloved mate,” her gaze dropped to my stomach as she reached out and placed a hand on it “But you had to ruin it by getting pregnant. You left me with no other choice, Freya.”

“What are you talking about? I’m not...”

“Don’t lie, Freya. You’re pregnant, although, Rowan doesn’t know but I do. The children would change his mind and make me lose my touch with him. It’ll just cause more nuisance, that’s why I have to kill you and your precious child.”

“No!” I screamed struggling weakly against the rogues pinning me down. You can’t do this to me. I won’t let you!”

“I already have,” she drawled and nodded to the men who started dragging me towards a hole at the centre of the room.

I fought, cried, begged but my pleas fell on deaf ears. As we neared the hole, Amara leaned in close, her breath hot against my ears.

“Don’t worry, the death will be quick. Until another lifetime, Luna… Your sacrifice won’t be in vain.”
