Chapter 2 Drifting away

I glared angrily at the two werewolves on me, my fury enveloping me. I really wanted to tear them to pieces, but I couldn't fucking move!

"What are you doing?!" Ethan' voice suddenly came from the door.

Thank god, Ethan is here!

I used all my strength to look at him, sobbing and trying to ask for his help with my eyes.

But the angry Ethan didn't notice. He stood at the door and looked at us, lowering his voice and growling, "What the fuck are you doing, Lily? Do you have to have sex with another wolf in our room the day before our wedding anniversary?!"

No, no, I didn't! Ethan, it's not like that!' I screamed in my mind.

I wanted to explain to him, to ask for his help, but I didn't have the strength to sit up or speak. I could only helplessly watch Ethan' expression change from anger to disappointment to indifference, and I couldn't do a damn thing about it.

"I should have known you were like this, Lily. I knew it when we got engaged. You're so promiscuous that it makes me sick. I think it's time for us to end this alliance."

No, Ethan, no...

Ethan looked at me coldly and said the words that broke my heart: "I, Ethan Mason of Shadowclaw Pack, officially reject you, Lily Furlong of Bloodmoon Pack."

"You are no longer my Luna and no longer the Shadowclaw Pack's Luna," Ethan said, turning and leaving.

I looked helplessly at the door, tears blurring my vision.

Ethan left without once looking back over his shoulder. I closed my eyes, feeling a sadness I had never felt before as tears streamed down my cheeks.

As soon as he had left the two werewolves pulled me up roughly and took me through the pack house and out into the forest. Not a single person tried to stop them on the way and the thought that no one wanted to help broke me in two. Had I really been that bad of a Luna? They pulled to a stop in a clearing before throwing me on the ground.

At this moment, footsteps sounded beside me. I struggled to lift my head and saw a familiar figure - Abigail, my step-sister who always framed me! Of course it was her!

Look at you, Lily, she laughed. "You're lying on the ground like a stupid rat, all dirty. How pathetic."

I still couldn't move, I could only stare at her helplessly.

She kicked me in the stomach, and I trembled in pain. But she looked very happy at the moment, "The wine with the special additions tastes good, right, Lily? That was specially prepared just for you. You're really stupid though, you know... being trapped by the same trick twice."

I was stunned, looking at her wide-eyed. Twice? Does that mean the accident at the engagement banquet was also--

"That's right," It was almost as if Abigail saw through my thoughts. She squatted down with a silver knife against my neck. "It was me who put the aphrodisiac at the engagement banquet before, and it was also put in the wine, just like this time. That's why I said you were stupid, Lily."

She used the knife that she held in her hand to cut large and small wounds on my body. Blood quickly oozed out and dripped onto the grass. "How does it feel to be misunderstood by your own husband? Oh, sorry, I forgot, he's not your husband anymore, Lily." she said with a smirk.

Suddenly, she seemed to become excited and began acting a little crazy, shouting loudly with glee, "He's about to become my husband! I will make him fall in love with me and he'll fall so madly and deeply, that he'll never even think of you!"

I was trembling with pain, but still weakly looking at her. A mocking smile appeared on my face as I mouthed, "Becoming Luna can't change the fact that you are a lowly Omega bitch like your mother Sophia, who only relies on dirty, underhanded methods to gain what little power she can, Abigail."

Her face changed into an expression of outrage and, as the realization of what I had mouthed sank in, her face twisted into an ugly expression filled with anger.

With a scream of fury she plunged the dagger downwards and it tore through my flesh, graating against the bone as she screamed wildly, "You slut! What did you say about me?! Say it again?! What did you say?!!"

She was like a possessed woman, stabbing and piercing my soft skin with the biting metal blade over and over and over again. She stabbed my shoulder, arm, and calf with the knife. It cut my neck, tore my cheek and penetrated my lung. I could feel the ground growing wet beneath me as a large amount of blood gushed out of my wounds and stained the ground red.

Pain instantly spread throughout my body and I convulsed in pain. The wound on my chest made it impossible for me to breathe and tears streamed down my cheeks. But the pain didn't make me afraid. On the contrary, it aroused my anger. I roared furiously in my heart, staring at her with red eyes. The anger and hatred that boiled inside of me almost making me lose my mind.

Damn it! If there is a chance, I will definitely kill her! Definitely--!

But the severe pain quickly took away all my senses. Gradually, as my life ebbed away, the sound of her voice faded, my vision faded and the excruciating pain faded to nothing.

I closed my eyes and felt everything around me drifting away from me.
