Chapter 66: *“It’s a simple question.”

“It’s a simple question.” Alpha Andrew said when Sarah didn’t speak after several moments. “I’m quite familiar with that particular necklace and would like to know how you obtained it.”

Sarah had been quiet because she was trying to come up with a believable lie. There was no way Sarah was going to tell the Alpha just how she got ahold of the necklace.

“If you don’t mind me asking Alpha Moonstar,” Bettina said, gaining everyone’s attention. “How are you familiar with this necklace?”

At first, Sarah had felt relief when her mother started talking, taking the attention away from her. Then she was stiffening back up when her mother asked that question. It left her wondering if her mother was trying to help her, or hurt her?

“I don’t mind answering this question, Mrs. Northmountain.” Alpha Andrew nearly purred. Although he was smiling, there was now a deadly edge to the smile. Like Bettina had just fallen into a trap he set. “The design of the pendant was originally designed by my eldest Damien. Then we commissioned the Kuznetsov’s to make it.”

Bettina was frozen, she was just now realizing the danger Sarah was now in with her question. Bettina looked at Sarah with panicked eyes and sweat starting to trickle down her spine. Sarah was glaring angrily, her eyes accusatory.

“In fact, Clan Alpha Kovac Kuznetsov loved the design and the meaning behind it so much, he personally made the piece.” Alpha Andrew said, pausing, he looked first to Sarah, then back to Bettina. “I was told by Kovac Kuznetsov that there would only ever be the one pendant made with this design, and inscription.”

“Inscription?” Bettina asked, weakly.

an inscription.” Alpha Andrew said. “It says, ‘Ever my Starlight, my guiding light in all this world’s darkness.‘ After receiving the completed necklace, it was given as a gift. I was also a witness to just…who… the gift was given to.” Alpha Andrew turned to

the words, “A gift from a member of the Pack Alpha’s family,” that made the necklace suddenly feel like a hangman’s noose around Sarah’s neck. Sarah was scared for a very good reason. Receiving a gift from the Alpha Pack’s Alpha family was a great honor. If they were human, it would be comparable to receiving a gift from a

what she felt was a believable story. One she hoped would turn the Alpha’s anger at her onto Alora, while still being able to keep the necklace. “Well, you see, I was admiring the necklace one day, and Alora saw how much I liked it. When I asked her if I could borrow the necklace to wear for

Alpha to turn on Alora. He would never forgive Alora for giving such a precious gift away so thoughtlessly. That wasn’t what happened though, Sarah noticed the Alpha was looking at her, and it was like the

knew it, she was telling him everything. It was like she had no control over her mouth anymore. “She’s just a whore who didn’t have the good graces to die at birth! The filthy bitch darkens up our bloodline and is an embarrassment to both our Clans! How was she worthy of even one second of Damien’s attention?! Why would he give her such an expensive piece of jewelry unless she was sucking him off or fucking him blind! What gave that slut the right to seduce Damien when she’s less than nothing?! As soon as Damien was gone, she was spreading her legs for Darien! The skank couldn’t even be without a male for a day! Obviously, Damien didn’t mean that much to her! So why did she get to keep the gift he gave

described as pure evil.

Every word out of Sarah’s mouth was so shrill and vile. Full of vulgar and false accusations about Alora, and her relationship with Damien and Darien. Around Alpha Andrew, a barely leashed fury permeated the air, like a dark cloud. Alora was mostly unaffected, this had been her life for the last eighteen years. The only thing that bothered her, was having this part of her life revealed in

her. They were stopped with just the rise of Alpha Andrew’s hand. Bettina could only stand there and wring her hands, wincing with each damning word Sarah had spewed forth. Allister’s skin was so pale, it was almost transparent. He was drenched in a sweat that stank of fear as his whole body trembled with it.
