Reality Sets In

 I jumped to my feet real fast. I was still in shock and I didn't know what to do.

 A part of me wished the dead Alpha would just get up and smile.

 Everything felt like a drama, a series that was never going to end the moment the door opened.

 " Open up, Father!" the voice shouted.

 Jaden!

 My heart beat fast. I clenched my hand so tightly that I felt my well polished nails digging into them.

 " Are you alright, Father! Talk to me if you are there or I am going to break down this door!" he yelled again.

 I don't need to be told that someone had tipped him off. I knew it was better to open the door and let him in without him breaking it.

 My leg moved even though my body didn't want to. The door opened slowly revealing my face.

 " Why are you here, Amara and why are you covered in blood?" Jaden asked.

 I stuttered not finding the right word. My lips felt heavy and my hands were visibly shaking.

 " Where is my father?" Jaden asked the moment his eyes fell on my soiled dress.

 " I swear to you, Jaden. I didn't do it." I pleaded, falling on my knees. But instead, he pushed me out of the way and walked in.

 " Oh my god."

 Jaden let out the moment he walked in. He looked at me and back at the man on the floor.

 " Who is this and what have you done to my father?" he asked.

 I knew he hadn't seen the ring on his finger. Maybe he was feeling too angry to take a careful look at the corpse.

 " I didn't do, Jaden. You need to believe me." I said with tears.

 Jaden didn't say a word. Instead, he walked towards me and grabbed me like I was a piece of rag.

 " I don't care what you did to him." he shouted at me. His breath and spittle covering my face.

 " What I need to know is where you had my father kept!" he yelled again. His grip getting tighter.

 " He is..."

 I tried to speak but the woes would not come out. Jaden grip soften as he slowly went back to the body.

 He lowered himself a little, his eyes inspecting the body like a. officer. Then his gaze went to his father's finger.

 He saw the sigil and in rage he stood up and walked towards me.

 [ Slap! ]

 A slap to the face was enough to send me flying backwards. I hit my head on the wall and I prayed I gave you the ghost.

 But my prayers were not answered. Jaden walked face to me and lifted me up with just one hands.

 I could feel his palms around my throat as I choked. " Why!" Why!!" he kept yelling with tears running down his face. " He loved you! He wanted you and yet you killed him! Why!"

 I wanted to explain but I knew he was not going to believe me.

 I heard her music stopped playing. Most of them most have heard his voice. The music that I thougt was so loud was suddenly halted just to hear the wial of Jaden.

 I could hear their feet.

 One.

 Two.

 Three.

 Four.

 Ten.

 Twenty.

 Or maybe more running towards us. I immediately ran towards Jaden holding his legs. But a kick to my head send me bashing my head against the ceramic.

 The air escaped from my lungs. My head ringed so hard that I felt blood streaming down from my nose.

 The door opened and my best friend rushed in.

 " Jesus! What the happened?"

 Lola rushed towards me and grabbed me by my shoulder.

  " Wake up Amara. What is going on?" she asked with tears.

 " Please, just beg him for me. Tell him I didn't do it. I didn't kill him." I said faintly.

 " Didn't kill who? What are you talking about?" Lola asked

 But then, her eyes darted towards the corpse on the ground and I could feel her hands slightly moved off my arms.

 " Did you do this?" she asked, her eye brows arched.

 " No! Not you too." I said in tears.

 " I would never hurt anyone. I won't harm even a fly. You need to believe me, Lola. Please." I got up in my weak state and crocuh before the two of them.

 But it was too late. The reporters were hear, the journalist and everyone at the party were now at the door trying to force their way in. .

 In just twelve hours, I became a murderer. A woman who was scorned and wanted dead.

 " Did she kill that man?"

 " Who is that?"

 " Isn't that the supposed Luna?"

 " Oh my god! She is a killer!"

 My mother pushed through the crowd and her face went pale. She looked at me on the floor and immediately rushed to my side.

 " What happened, baby. Talk to me." she said with tears.

 " I didn't do it, mum. I don't know how I left the party. I woke up and I found myself here. I don't know how and when I got here. I swear to you in my life."

 " I believe you, we are going to get to the bottom of this." she said grabbing me closer.

 But Jaden, he was in rage. He was like an Alpha who wanted to burn the whole enemy pack to the ground for them defying his others.

 His eyes turned red as he immediately got his father's powers. " Arrest her and take her to the dungeons. You are not to give her any water or food until I am ready to pass a sentence to her. Allow no visitors and make sure she is chained!"

 Two hefty guards walked up to me and snatched me from my mother.

 " Jaden, Please. I didn't do it." I shouted as I wiggled out of the arms or the guards.

 Camera flashed and sounds could be heard but I didn't care. I was about to reach Jaden when I felt a sharp blow to the back of my head.

 I fell backwards, as tears rolled down my face, the last sight I saw was my mother being pulled away from me.
