Chapter Fifty

My hand slowly crept up to touch my face that I'm sure was bright red, my skin was hot under my touch and I feared it would start to swell up soon.

Teresa's eyes narrowed and her face twisted into a snarl. "I helped you despite what you did to my brother. You're disgusting."

"I don't understand." My words came out in a hoarse whisper. It was hard to process anything, my body and mind felt as though it had been beaten both emotionally and physically.

Teresa let out a dark laugh and came closer towards me. "Even now you still continue to lie."

Tears began to fill my eyes. "I'm not lying. I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Alessandro told me the truth. You lied about being r*ped. Who does that?" I kept shaking my head despite the pain that seemed to be radiating from every move.

"No I didn't lie. The Alpha made the assumption bef-"

"And you didn't think to correct him?" Teresa hissed. "You made us believe he r*ped you. You're sick!"

She was right about that, I was sick. I should have corrected Alpha Alessandro straight away and told him the actual truth. His response to his assumption gave me hope that Cami and I would be safe and I decided to go with that version of the event instead of the truth. That version would have kept Cami safe and out of this mess.

I couldn't even do that, I'm so stupid and useless.

"I'm sorry that I didn't correct Alpha Alessandro." I began to say as I ignored the lump that was forming in the back of my throat. "I was just trying to protect-"

"Why did you murder him? What did he do to you?" My eyes widened as I realised that Alpha Alessandro had not told Teresa everything, he didn't tell her that her r*pist brother attacked Cami and it was Cami that killed him in self-defence. Why had he not told her the truth? Did he not believe me? Did he think I lied about Cami being r*ped?

I must have been taking too long to answer because Teresa scoffed and shook her head. "Thinking of another lie?"

"No I wasn-"

"If you didn't belong to Alessandro I would have killed you." The truth in her voice had me taking a few steps back ungracefully and stumbling slightly.

Belong to Alpha Alessandro?

"You're very lucky." Was the last thing she said before storming out of the room and leaving me standing there on my own.

I didn't feel lucky, in fact I felt the complete opposite. I was unlucky and my life was falling apart. At this moment in time I could not even think of one good thing I had in my life, my head was filled with all the wrongs that have occurred.

Not long after Teresa left the older woman re-entered the room. "Come on, we need to go."

Keeping my head down like beaten puppy I followed the older woman whose name I had yet to remember. I wanted to ask what her name was but I didn't want her to think I was rude for forgetting it.

I knew we were here before the older woman announced it, I could hear other female voices around and the sound of hustle and bustle. "This is your room, you're sharing it with two other girls. You've met one of them, her name was Rachel and the other girl, Paula, will be here soon."

I looked around the room that looked very lived in, there were three single beds, a large wardrobe and a few chest of draws. The room was a nauseating mint green colour with small windows that overlooked the forest.
