The Spurned Heir

My eyes fluttered open and I felt weakened to the core, I couldn't even move my finger, my head pounds so heavily and It was like I would die, The pains were too excruciating and got deep into my bone marrow... I opened my eyes more widely to see my surrounding, to know where I am now but everything was just blurred, it was like I had become partially blind, with a deep grunt of pain, I shut my eyes back absorbing the intense pain that filled my whole body, I don't know what was used on me but I was sure the wolfsbane was also added, that is just the only substance that can make me feel this severe pain, But why I'm I treated this way??..everyone kept hating me the more even when it has been long my mother died like they should have forgotten all that and accept me back as a living being, I have suffered for years and it isn't reducing, they want me dead and forgotten... I opened my eyes again and regretted it like that made my head pound so hard that I thought my head would fall off, hot tears rolled freely, I felt pain real pain that shreds my heart... "Layla, why did they used that wolfsbane whip on us?" My wolf cried and more tears streamed down, I could feel her pain and mine together, "I think we should run away and turn rogue, there might be a chance to have a good life, I may die!" She shrilled and I bite my lower lips cursing the day I was born, Just today, I came back home after recovering from that substance from the sorcerer, don't I deserved to have a little rest, I should have died but was lucky to survive it and was strong enough to be on my feet, wasn't that something they should be a bit happy at, I healed very fast but it seems they were angry I was alive, my breaths breaks their heart... I don't know how my mother looks, I don't know why she died, I don't just know why my eyes are this way, there was nothing strange that happened to me except for that strange dream when I was unconscious, and this unusual feeling of having a strange beast in me... But at least, since I was born, I have never killed anyone! Just then, the door of the room opened and I turned my gaze to the door weakly only to get my

heart flipping as I saw Scarlett walk in with a huge smirk, she was just so glad I was bedridden, I swallowed the lump in my throat and grunt in pain that filled me up as I tried to sit up, I want to look a bit strong so she won't think she succeeded... She got closer and burst into laughter making me shamed, I just don't get it all, it seems she derives joy from my pain and I just can't help but wonder where I wronged her or what I did to her since she came here... "How was it?" She asked gloating, I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, just then, I recalled what I saw before losing consciousness... My eyes widened and I got goosebumps all over me, "Scarlett who are you?" I asked recalling it all, I could see the demon look she got that moment I looked up to her in the palace... My question made her frown... "What is this demon saying??." she sneered and I fluttered my eyes gritting my teeth. "Scarlett, you are the demon in this pack!" I seethed still in shock... "Did you just called my Luna a demon?" I heard the scary voice of the alpha and my whole body stiffed in shock, I looked up and saw his deadly look, "Oh, you heard it too, that's what she had been calling me when she knew she is the one who is a demon.." Scarlett whined and held his arm to her body. "Dad, I saw it clearly, I saw it before I was taken away, she is evil!" I cried out and got him so enraged, he charged at me and before I could see it coming, his heavy blow landed on my face sending me sprawling on the floor... More pain rushed in making loud shrill escape my lips, "After your evil scheme is about to get disclose, you chose my Luna to go down with you right??... count yourself as a loser!" He growled and stomped away not wanting to stay longer, seeing me was a terror to him and the fact that he is my father was his greatest pain, I can see it in his eyes. He would keep wondering how he got a demon daughter like me, his single blow created a bump on my head, it was so painful that I couldn't stand up from the floor... I grunt in pain with both eyes shut, "Was that painful??...then I think you should just die then, take your life and be free from all this, isn't that the best." Scarlett voice sounded in my ear and I opened my eyes slowly... All I could see in front of me was a demon, she had disguised herself and used all sorts of magic to cover her demon scent and become my father's mate, Just who would believe me that she isn't a werewolf!! "You will never succeed!" I spat making her laugh scornfully. "You are the demon, say your mission and maybe your father would forgive you and reduce your punishment or else you will be tortured forever..." She laughed more loudly shredding my heart with those words, "I saw your real nature, I don't know how, but before I was struck, right there in the palace, my inner eyes saw who you are, stop hiding it, stop pretending, why are you here in the shadow pack!!!" I screamed at her and she arched her brow peering into my eyes. "What are you saying you evil demon that kills her mother just to gain more powers.." she sneered and I scoffed sitting up from the cold floor. "One day, everyone would know this evil you kept hidden when you are the demon, you made everyone believed I was, that sorcerer you recommended wants me dead, you both planned my death from the intense pain but I'm sure you are shocked I am alive..." "You said you saw what?" She asked still trying to understand my words. "You must be a fool to think no one can see who you are, I swear, i would be the one to bring you down!" I threatened and she burst into loud laughter full of contempt.. ."Hey little pup, I don't give a damn if you saw me, I'll tear you apart the very day you...." Just then, the door opened and she cut her words and pulled away.. We both turned to the door and it was her children, Oliver and Hazel "Let's go before she kills us like her mother.." Scarlett seethed and the children scurried away screaming in fear... It was just so painful.
