SWNOVELS Chapter 267
Chapter 0267
I did not know that Stephanie was torturing Lily, but I would not have cared if I had known. The ability to
torture is an important life skill, and the ability to torture someone close to you is a demonstration that
you have mastered that talent.”
“I also have a question for Margie. I was friends with Lily in elementary school. You seemed to love her
back then. How could you later hate her enough to want to kill her? What did she do?” a wolf named
Anna asked.
“It is true that I used to love Lily. When she was younger, I never personally abused her. But I also never
felt connected to her the way that I did to Stephanie, and my love for Lily died over time…. especially after
Stephanie died and even more so when she and James discovered that they were mates. I began to hate
her like I hated myself.”
“But why?” the next wolf asked. “Why couldn’t you be happy that James and Lily were mates? You would
still have a daughter in the luna role.”
“No. It should have been Stephanie. Lily being mated to James did not make sense. I did not invest in
Lily; I invested in Stephanie. Stephanie was the one who deserved the role.”
Ultimately, we continued like this for about an hour, with most questions being aimed at Alpha Randall
and Margie. The questions soon became circular and repetitive, with everyone trying but failing to make
sense of all that had happened.
The longer the questions went on, the more I realized that no one was ever going to be satisfied with the
answers that we were getting. And that was because we were trying to put logic and reason where there
was none. Sometimes evil is just… evil. Poorly thought out, selfish in different ways at different times,
and often inconsistent even with itself.
Finally, we got to the last two questions. How I wish we had started with these.
The first of the two was asked by Alexa, a 24-year-old hairdresser.
“Alpha Randall, I was one of the ones who was drugged and kidnapped from my bedroom and then raped
repeatedly. I was just 17.
It just so happened that I had cameras installed inside and outside my room, because I had an ex-
boyfriend that had been stalking me and my parents were worried he might do something. The camera
footage clearly showed that Margie injected me with something and then carried me out of my house
unconsious.
The next day, I woke up in my bed hurting badly in my private areas. My parents checked the cameral
We took Dr. Miller’s report and the camera footage to you. You told me that I had to talk to Margie about
it and
you
tried give us an alpha order not to talk about it with anyone else. Before you could give me the order, I pushed play on the video and forced you to watch Margie drugging me. Do you
ou remember what
you said next?”
“Yes.”
“Me, too,” Alexa sneered. “Why don’t you tell everyone?”
“Margie does not have the body parts necessary to commit rape. A video showing Margie giving you an injection proves nothing. And the evidence of so-called rape is just a guess. It could just as easily be evidence of rough sex with your a&&hole ex. It was your fault for dating before you met your mate.”
“Correct. And then you gave us the alpha order. You told us to not even think about going to the
werewolf council, because they would not believe me and even they did, you would have us out of this
pack and our homes sooner than we could blink.
The only reason I can talk about it now is that you are no longer alpha. I could not even tell my mate.
Do you remember what happened three months later?”
