BRANDED AS TRAITORS

I should've braced myself before loving you this hard!

Love undoubtedly makes people dumb!

                     CHAPTER TWO

Cassandra's POV

As I was lying on the cold floor, my body was shivering. I think I'm having a fever!

I curled myself to spread warmth over my body.

Moments later, the door was opened.

I was a bit excited because I was hoping to have some water to satisfy my thirst but what would I expect?!

Salima, the beta's mate with someone whose name I don't even know, came in and slapped me hard on the face and kicked my belly.

After an hour of receiving slaps from Salima Dustin and kicks from this old man, I felt an excruciating pain in my body again. It feels like something wants to get out of my body.

It feels like I'm on fire!

"I....want…. water!" I murmured.

The pain that I am feeling now is different from the physical pain I've been experiencing from the tortures. It is different!

"You don't belong here! You're just a useless being!"

"You're not qualified to be the Luna of this powerful pack." The old man said.

I was confused about who he was. I've never seen him before.

"What?! Don't you have respect for our pack's hero?!" Salima asked.

"You guys don't deserve respect from me!" I answered while struggling to stand from the continuous beatings.

Salima once again grabs my hair and wants to slap me when suddenly, three people come in.

"Salima, that's enough! She's still the Luna of our pack!"

"Have some respect for our alpha," Drake said while holding Salima's wrist.

Troy Michigan, my husband, who always wears a poker face, stands still while looking at me miserably. He was with a woman whom I believe was his first great love!

What a lovely reunion!

She was like a leech who holds with force to a piece of crap. They are suited for each other. One is trash while the other one is a pest!

"What an eyesore!"

"Did you say something?!" Salima asked with an irritating high-pitched voice.

I wonder how the fudge did I handle and tolerate this kind of brutality where I know myself that I can fight back by leaving this bunch of dependent idiots!

Let's see if they were able to live without me who's been doing all the necessary things in the packhouse.

"Bring her somewhere far from here," the old hag said.

As soon as they dragged me, the heat and pain in my body were extremely unbearable. I think I'm going to die!

It was so painful. I can't stand it anymore.

Before I lost consciousness, I remembered that they dragged me to a cliff.

Moments later, I was woken up by the cold water flashing in my entire body. I was shivering. I barely stood up.

I looked around. And saw my husband holding someone's hand dearly.

I wanted to cry but instead, I laughed my heart out.

It was a big joke!

The love and care that he showed me in the past were all lies and pretentious but I know that already.

It was just…

I was so blinded by my wishful thinking. That may be, he would truly love me when I give him unlimited love first.

I laughed so hard like I was a madwoman. I'm tired of crying, that's why I'm laughing sarcastically.

"What are you waiting for?!"

"Tie her up inside the car!" The old hag commanded.

Before they could come towards me. I ran towards my husband.

I wonder where the fudge got all my strength but I did manage to run fast like a flash.

I grab his hand, the one he used from holding the leech. I dragged him a few steps away from them.

I kissed him. For I know it will be the last time.

I hugged him tightly.

I don't understand myself. At some point, I wanted to get rid of him but the moment I saw him, the idea vanished.

At this moment, he then again excludes an intoxicating aroma of sweet roses and vanilla and I love it.

For the last time, I want to hug and kiss the first and only man I used to love.

"I gave my all to you. I have loved only you in this lifetime!"

"For the sake of our two-year marriage, I want to know the truth. For once, do you ever love me? I never heard you say the words I have been wanting to hear, " I asked.

I can no longer control the tears from coming out in my eyes, they were hastily rolling down my cheeks.

There was only a deafening silence.

"Not even once!" He replied. Without an inch of emotion seen on his face.

I was stupefied. So, all my efforts till now were in vain?

Okay! But I just can't understand, why?

I loosened myself from hugging him tightly.

I know, being a mere replacement sucks!

It hurts!

In an instant, my energies were all wiped out.

What's gotten into my mind to ask a stupid question? I already know and feel the answer myself.

Even in the last moment of my life, I was still stupid!

Damn!

"So? Are you daydreaming again?!"

"Do you think that Troy loves you too?" The leeched asked in a sarcastic tone.

She slowly walks toward us.

"You are just a tool to be used. You are just my replacement!"

"And do you ever think you have the qualities of being a Luna?"

"Huh! What an idiot! You're human!"

"And humans are useless pieces of shit!"

"And do you know that your human parents were traitors?!"

"And you are no exemption! You were the one who caused the attack in this pack many years ago."

"You were the one who personally killed Troy's brother, Shawn!" Amanda said with fierceness seen in her eyes.

I'm confused. I didn't know anything.

I looked at Troy to make him explain what she meant.

But before Troy could utter a word the old hag butt in.

"Troy accepted you to be the Luna of his pack because of your mere human parents. They were once a trusted asset of the European werewolf council where the former alpha used to lead."

"But they betrayed Troy's father. Your parents were traitors who deserve to die," The old hag chipped in.

"Are you the one who killed them?" I looked at the old man and asked him with raging anger.

"I commanded him to do it! They deserved it," Troy spoke with a raging fire in his tone. Again, he said another heart-piercing word.

I don't know why the moment he opens his mouth he doesn't miss a chance to say harsh words to me.

"They are not and will never be traitors!" I shouted.

Then some of the pack warriors hurriedly tied me inside the car.

"Troy! You know us better than them. They are spouting nonsense! My parents are innocent!"

"We are all innocent!" I exclaimed.

Then the car door was shut and then in an instant, the wheels were moving on their own. It was running steadily fast.

"Troy!"

"Troy!"

There was a timer ticking. There's a bomb!

"Help me get out of here!"

"Troy! Help me!"

I cried. What a miserable life I'm having in this lifetime.

Even at the last moment, they would still forbid me to die gorgeous? Do they even want me to add scars to my face?

If I will be born again, I promise to let you all kneel in front of me and my parent's grave!

I'll triple the pain you've caused me now!

Boom!!
