Reina's Pov
'Hello bestie' I said softly. She looked shocked to see me and immediately closed the door behind her as she dragged me away from her house to a secluded place.
'I see you are now ashamed of me' I said
'Its not my fault your parents killed the late alpha and Luna' she said in a silent whisper. She looked around nervously, like she was scared of someone or something.
'Is everything alright?' I asked genuinely out of concern. She didn't look at me and kept looking around nervously.
'See, I shouldn't really be seen with you, so just get to the point' she said in a hurried tone like she was in a rush to go somewhere.
'My parents were framed, and I think I know who did it' I said, and she finally looked at him. She looked scared and shocked. Her behaviour was suspicious,
'That's n-oot poo-ss-sible' she stuttered with her voice trembling in fear.
'Are you okay, Miley?' I asked. She looked so scared and terrified after I said those words.
'We need to get out of here, before he sees us' she said and immediately wolfed out, I did the same and followed her to wherever she was going. This was the first time I had ever seen her genuinely terrified and scared, she is one of those girl a who ever hardly get angry or scared of anything and seeing her like this really made me worried.
But seeing her reaction made it seem like she knew who did it and kept it from me. If she actually knows and didn't tell me, I don't think I would be able to forgive her, ever.
We finally arrived at a secluded cabin in the woods. She led me in, and we changed back to our human form. She gave me a pair of clothes she had from the cabin to put on.
'What is this about Miley?'. She closed all the windows and put on a lantern, and she led me to a chair in which we sat on.
'Why are we here? Are you ashamed to be seen with me in public?' I asked.
'No, no, Reina, I could never be ashamed of you' she said softly.
'Then why all these' I said.
'About the person who framed your parents…' she tried saying, and I immediately cut her off.
'Do you know him or her?' I said, trying to confirm my worst fears, but she shook her head furiously.
'No, No,No' she said and broke down in tears.
'I think he took my parents' she said, and I was shocked. That was the last thing i expected her to say.
'A letter was sent over after the alpha and Luna were murdered, saying my parents would end up like yours if they said what they knew, but my parents were adamant and were all about justice, then they disappeared and a letter was sent to me not to mention to anybody about my parents disappearance or their heads would be sent to me' she said with more tears rolling down her cheeks.
This explained everything, why she had not contacted me after everything went down and why she was suspicious about everything. I leaned close to her and hugged her, I didn't know what she was going through and just judged her for being a bad friend, I felt really bad.
If her parents weren't the murderers that leave us with only one person, the late alpha's brother.
'I think I know who did it' I said, detaching from the hug.
'Who?' she asked eagerly.
'The late alpha's brother, but we need solid proof before we say or do anything' I said, and she looked hesitant.
'He did visit our residence before the murder, but are you sure?' she asked.
'I don't know Miley, but we need somewhere to start with, he his the only link between the late Alpha and Luna, my parents and your parents' I said and she nodded in agreement.
'We should tell Damien' she said. My heart skipped a beat just hearing his name, memories of how he treated me earlier played in my head and I felt a sting in my heart, regardless of how I was treated I still miss him, strangely. Miley seemed to notice a change in my expression after she mentioned his name.
'What is it?' she asked.
'I don't think that is a good idea. He hates me' I said.
'He can't possibly hate you that much. You are his mate'. Yes, he shouldn't I was his mate, but he did, and that really hurt. She noticed my expression and quickly understood.
'Oh baby' she said as she pulled me into a deep hug, and I just wept in her arms.
'We are getting married too, as a form of punishment' I said, and she broke the hug.
'What?, that's messed up' she said, and I just nodded in agreement.
'But what are we going to do without Damien's power' she asked.
'I would marry Damien and be his Luna, and that way I have power' I said. Marry Damien was the last thing I ever wanted with how he felt about me, but if marrying him gives me the power, I need to get to bring down his uncle, so be it.
'But at what cost?' she asked, worried about me.
'He said he would reject me after punishing me Miley, I have to find out who really killed his parents' I said, and she looked shocked. I am sure she didn't think Damien was actually capable of such.
'He wouldn't' she said lowly, and I just gave her that look, and she understood right away. She hugged me tightly and hugged her back, and we just stayed there for a while before we finally stood up and prepared to leave.
We exited the door and prepared to wolf out when an arrow was shot in our direction, barely hitting me. We ducked and looked around at who it might be, but we saw no one. We looked at the arrow and saw a letter was attached to it.
I took the letter and read it out loud.
'Keep your heads down, or you will regret it' it read. We exchanged a panicked look before we wolfed out and ran off.
