My Baby Was Killed
1135 Words
Amelia's POV
I am sitting in a dirty prison cell. It has been two months since they threw me in here. Why are they not coming for me? I know it is to make me weak and punish me for my sins. I feel like crying, but I refuse to show anyone that I feel defeated and that I am hurting. My wolf cried out in pain last night. I knew Lucas was with Leona. I felt his rejection, and I know he marked his new Luna as the guards mocked me this morning, telling me their Alpha is strong and already has a new mate!
My husband and my best friend betrayed me.
Maybe it's been a long time.
A voice slithered through the bars, cold and familiar. My head jerked up just as a silhouette filled the doorway - the curve of her hips, the tilt of her chin. Even in the dungeon's gloom, I'd know that shape anywhere. Leona.
My eyes are empty as I refuse to show her how much they hurt me!
Leona stands at the door of the cell with a wicket smile. She turns to the guards and tells them to leave us alone.
"So you took my mate last night! I felt his betrayal. I thought you were my friend." I say without emotion. My voice is flat, but I know what I am feeling inside. I feel hate, so much hate, I want to kill her!
"Oh, you stupid fool. I am not your friend. I always wanted everything you had. You were the perfect Luna. You had the best Alpha. Lucas is handsome and perfect. Didn't you know that every night, when he went out to patrol, he came to my house? Didn't you feel the pain when we made love?" Leona said frantically, "However, I was always just good enough to be his mistress! I planned everything. I planned your downfall. You are so stupid and pathetic! He always thought that you were better than I, because your father was the Gamma of the pack! Now your parents don't even want to see you! They are ashamed of you and do not want to call you their daughter. Everyone turned their backs on you, and they admire me for stepping in and consoling their Alpha after the betrayal of his Luna. I took everything that was yours! I took your position, your respect, and now I will take your life and that of your baby. I will give Lucas a new heir! I am pregnant!"
I can feel fear spreading through my body. However, I will not give up without a fight. I look at Leona with disgust in my eyes. If she tries to kill my baby, I will fight her. I will escape this prison and make Lucas pay! When I thought he was fighting rogues at the border, he was fvcking Leona! I thought it was because he got injured! I thought our connection was so strong that I could feel his pain.
"I won't let you hurt my baby. Come and fight, Leona." I say. However, Leona laughed, and then she called the guard. The tall, strong guard walked into the cell. I leapt at him and scratched his face.
I will not give up my baby without a fight.
I see Leona standing there with a silver knife in her hands. She calls more guards, but I keep fighting them off as they try to hold me down! I fight them and I even kill one. Then I feel the injection going into the vein in my neck.
NO!!!
I know it is wolfsbane as I feel the pain of it spreading through my veins.
"Please do not harm my baby. I don't care what you do to me, but do not harm my baby. It is Lucas's baby. You know it, Leona!" I shout. I keep trying to fight the guards. As Leona walks closer to me with the knife, I try to fight harder, but they kick me in the stomach and I stop fighting, and then hold my alone. I'm afraid for my baby's life.
"Oh! I don't care who the father of your bastard is. Lucas is mine, and everything that once belonged to you is mine!" Leona yelled, "Hold her down. Today, your ex Luna and her bastard son will die."
I am panicking. I can feel the panic in my heart and the sadness in my soul as I see the knife come down on me. I scream in pain as the blade of the knife cuts my baby out of me.
NO!!!
"I am sorry, baby. I failed to protect you!" I cry.
The cell door flings open, and Lucas walks inside. A cruel sneer twisted his lips as his gaze raked over me, and then he turned, his boots crunching against the dirt as he approached the discarded infant. When he lifted the child to his face and inhaled, the blood drained from his features..
"I thought the baby was not mine. Why can I smell myself on her? Get a doctor in here! Leona, you lied to me!" Lucas shouts, "Bring the doctor!"
A doctor ran in quickly. He took the baby from Lucas and said, "I am sorry, Alpha, the baby is gone. Let me save Luna."
"Yes, save my Luna!" Lucas says. He seems to be in pain. How dare he feel pain for my baby! He is the one who allowed her to be killed!
I hear and see all of this happening around me, but all I can feel is the pain and the emptiness inside of me, and the burning hatred for the two people who killed my baby. The doctor tries to help me, but I push him away weakly. I don't want to live. I want to die with my baby.
"Amelia, baby, let the doctor save you. Please! I am so sorry!" Lucas said painfully.
I look up at him and Leona.
"Curse you, Lucas. Curse you for allowing that b***h to kill our baby. She played her part, but you allowed it! I will haunt you forever!" Blood gushed out of my body, but it was like I couldn't feel the pain. "Leona, you will never find happiness, and you'd better pray that I don't return. If I do, I will make your life a living hell. I hate you! I hate both of you, and I hope the Moon Goddess makes your lives a living hell! I will return and avenge my baby! Even if I have to crawl out of the depths of hell!"
Everything goes black around me. I feel my spirit leave my body. I know I am dead, but my spirit is still mourning my baby.
