Alpha’s Pregnant Luna - Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Paula
I had followed Frankie after he got out of the car in a rush. He ran so fast I couldn’t keep up with him at all. By the time I got into the house, he was nowhere to be found but something immediately grabbed my attention.
A corpse was laying flat on the ground and it had started emitting strong smells. I was shocked and a wave of nausea overtook me. I immediately retched as I felt all the food I had taken in previously, coming back out. I ran towards the bathroom of a random room downstairs and puked my guts out.
‘What the hell was that? Why was there a corpse in the sitting area’ I questioned inwardly after I had calmed down.
I braced myself before going back to where the corpse was. When i got back there, I didn’t puke this time around as I didn’t feel like it anymore. All I felt now was remorse, wondering wow much pain her family must be going through.
I looked closer the body found that it was extremely terrifying as it had been brutally mauled. I also identified the corpse to be a young woman.
‘Who would have been so evil to do something like this to someone so young and harmless?’ I pondered as I kept staring at the corpse.
People might wonder why I wasn’t grossed out by what I was staring at. This was because I had lived with Xayden for so long and one of his favorite totures asides raping and beating me was to force me to watch as he brutally killed people.
At this stage I was just immensely numb to it. The only reason I vomited was because strong odours and pregnancy don’t mix well.
I soon got the answer to my previous question as I noticed the notes splayed on the floor besides the dead woman.
I looked around the room to check if anybody had noticed the note but everyone seems to be in their own world. I shrugged and proceeded to pick up the notes and what I read shocked the life out of me.
‘This will teach this bitch as well as Hawke never to mess with me. This is payback to the bitch for killing my heir. Signed Alpha Xayden’
The note fell from my hands as the images of Xayden toturing this girl conjured in my mind.
Oh my!
‘So it was Hawke sister that was responsible for almost killing my child? Xayden found out the news we spread about the baby being dead and the supposed culprit. Xayden out of rage then killed her in the name of payback.
I stared at nothing in particular as I tried to process the fact that the fake news we spread was the cause of someone’s death despite the fact that she tried to kill my baby.
Oh no!
How could this happen?
Hawke
I watched as my baby’s sisters battered body was being carried on a stretcher. Today was the day we would finally cremate her body. I just couldn’t believe that my little sister was gone.
Gone were the days we would sit and chat for what felt like hours on end. Gone were the days when I would hear a sweet voice calling out to me. Gone were the days when she would call me her only rock.
I couldn’t believe that she would not be there anymore whenever I needed someone to chat with. She wouldn’t be able tell me on and on about was what she had done all through the day.
I still remember the first day and she introduced me to her friends. She has always been alone and shy but as she grew up she became more outgoing. She came in that particular day with her friends on her tow, pointed at me and said “Guys this is my big brother, my one and only protector”
I guess she was sorely mistaken because I couldn’t protect her when she needed me the most.
Since the time she passed, I kept dreaming about all the possible things she could have gone through. About how my fragile sister would call out my name repeatedly in hopes that I would come and save her. And as the life would leave her body forever, she would lose hope that the one person she had always trusted and relied on was not coming to save her.
I didn’t even realise when tears started falling down my face. I was a failure and that I knew. The least I could do for her was to make sure her last moments were properly carried out.
I had gathered my broken self that same day and made sure everything was perfect on the day I would send her off.
‘Mom and Dad, I know that I had failed on my promise of keeping my baby sister safe. I know I would never deserve your forgiveness so I won’t even try to ask for it. All I can ask for at this moment is that you take care of my Renee for me. And please tell her that I love her and I will always love her. Also tell her that I will make sure to avenge her death.’ I thought sadly as I watched her being placed on the altar.
I sighed before approaching her body that had been laid on the altar. Even on her deathbed, I found her to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
I reached forward and gently stroked her pale and cold forehead. I had made sure to pick out her most favorite dress and wash the blood off her body myself. I knew that My Renee would have never liked attending her funeral while being dressed in rags and having a dirty body.
“Do you like the dress baby sis? I remembered I got this for you on your 20th birthday and you had told me that this was your favourite dress” I muttered softly.
“I also made sure that you were in the best condition possible for your send off. I know you would love to be sent off In style and I’m going to fulfill that wish for you.” I whispered as I bent down to kiss her forehead.
“I will also make sure to avenge you. The people who made you like this are all going to pay. I will make sure to have revenge and after that we can be reunited.” I said before moving back and allowing the elder to continue with the ceremony.
I looked away as they put the fire on her altar. I just couldn’t bear to see her being burnt to ashes.
Tears kept streaming down my face as I turned away from the site and started walking off.
“I will miss you my dear Renee.
