ALPHA'S TEMPTATION

roken me even more than my step mother'scruelty ever could. Life is no longer worth living. A feeling of euphoria washes over me as I feel my life's blood drip away.Soon, I'll be no more, s

ing me up herself. She easily tears off my clothes, and grabs a fresh gown from the wardrobe and throws it at me. "You're going to see the Alpha."As soon as I am brought before Alpha Kayden, the little hope I have that he wants me back fizzles away as I watch him pacing the living room angrily, no, actually anger is an understatement, he looks furious. I close my eyes and wish my step mother had let me die. What new disaster is awaiting me now, I wonder. My whole life is a disaster story, and just when I think it would be over, something new comes up. "You," Alpha Kayden shouts as soon as he sees me. "You murderer! How could you do this?""Murderer?" I repeat in confusion. My eyes take in his entire appearance, the way he is shaking with anger, and something else – hurt. His eyes are blazing red, and I realize that if it had been a lesser man, he would be crying by now. "Kaydee what is the problem, please talk to me," I say immediately, walking up to him as concern for him outweighs the sorrow I feel inside. The fact that he said he never loved me does not mean that I ever stopped loving him. "Don't call me that!" Alpha Kayden snaps, grabbing me by the throat and pinning me against the wall. "You lying, scheming bitch. I thought all I had to do to get rid of all your lies was to reject you, but did you really have to kill my little brother?""Davis?" I ask in shock as tears fill my own eyes. Davis was just a boy, and he was the only one that had ever shown me true kindness, even after Kayden rejected me. "Is Davis okay – Davis can't be dead no..." I stammer in pain. Alpha Kaydee lets go of me and I crumble to the floor. "you're still denying it when I have proof?" He snatches my left hand, holding my fingers up to expose the place my step sister had demanded a claw from me as punishment for breaking her favorite plate. "Your claw was found deep in Davis's throat. You lost it when you murdered him.""No!
