**Austin's POV**
*
I cried and shook my head. I knew that once I did not stand in front of my mother, my father would surely kill her.
Maybe my mother just wanted him to kill her. She did not want to live.
"Get out of the way, Austin!" my mother shouted.
"NO!"
My mother was not a competent Luna, or a competent mother, or a competent wife, but I could not lose her.
My mother was a bitch, my father was a tyrant, my brother was an alcoholic. I hated each and every one of them, but I could not lose any of them.
I wanted a complete family.
However, what my mother said next completely destroyed the bubble of that intact family.
" Step aside, Austin, and let the bastard kill me. None of this has anything to do with you. I am not even your real mother."
I twisted my head incred
24Became laughingstock**Elizabeth's POV***No one would suspect me, right? After all, I was Dummyin everyone's mind. a Dummycould notmake a screaming sound and draw everyone in.In the whole pack, only Carolina and I were the least suspicious. She is deaf and dumb, and I am Dummy.I was not afraid even if damien accused me. I was dating him in secret. We did notopen up about the relationship to the public. No one could assume me as long as I did notadmit it.As for the slip of paper that I gave him, I would not be worried even if Damien kept it as evidence.Those words were written by me in Povidone Iodine. When I handed the slip of paper to Damien, I smeared lemon juice on his palm. Stupid Damien, he must not have thought that the vitamin C in the
25 I gonna...kill...kiss you **Austin's POV** * There was always some female omega coming to try to bring me food these days. I do not know who ordered them to do so. It was probably my father. Oh, I hate him. I hate all the people in this place. So I scared away whoever came to bring me food. The one outside the door should have been scared off by now. Suddenly, I heard the door being pushed open from the outside. A familiar, slender figure walked in with a plate full of food. Guess who I saw, Elizabeth! She looked so calm, as if she did not care about all these shit that had happened in the pack, or the dogshit-like me in front of her. She seemed completely blind to my pain, she just put the plate with the food in front of me and turned away. Was that all? She just meant to complete the task of delivering food ordered by I do not know who the hell gave her? "WAIT!" Elizabeth continued on her way as though she had not heard me, and even quickened her pace. Her hastily flee
26Afunny game**Elizabeth's POV***When Abby saw me, she angrily pointed her whip at me, "Dummy, weren't you following my orders to bring food to Austin? Why did notyou get your eyes gouged?"I rolled my eyes. Oh, I knew it. Anything she asked me to do was absolutely awful."If you have any displeasure with me, just come at me. Donot take it out on the others!" I finished in sign language and then opened my arms wide to protect Carolina.Abby sneered, "So you know youare the most obnoxious bitch of all! You will bring trouble to those around you. Listen, Damien has told me everything. You deliberately lured him to the guest room. It was you who set the trap. Bitch! I will notspare you! I will torture you to death! Youwillbe worse than Damien!"
27My 18th birthday**Elizabeth's POV***"Warning, everyone must follow the rules of the game. Donot mess with me." Brandon stopped her.Abby's chest rose and fell in anger. Clear slap marks were left on her face. Tears fell from her eyes."Just wait and see, Dummy. it will be your turn soon." Abby threatened me."Next question. How do you make eight eights add up to 1000?" asked Brandon.This problem should be hard for Abby. But for me, itis a piece of cake."8+8+8+88+888=1000," I wrote."Great! You got it right again! Next question, Abby."Abby was still in shock, she did notexpect it to be her turn so fast." Whatis the one thing you can only do with one hand?" Brandon asked." Something that can on
28Kiss Brandon**Elizabeth's POV***I stare at the dial plate of my pocket watch. The seconds hand was moving forward. The time was moving forward. The minute hand soon moved from 6 to 10.Ten minutes left. When the minute hand moved from 10 to 12, the day would be completely over. I would never have a chance to get my wolf anymore. My only hope would be completely shattered.I was panicked and scared. I felt like the pocket watch in my hand was a ticking time bomb. It was counting down. It would blow up within 10 minutes. I was so scared. I was afraid to face this harsh reality soberly.I ran to the kitchen, found two bottles of alcohol, and drank half of them like crazy. I decided that I would get drunk no matter what would happen tonight.As I drank, I wondered if alcoholism
29 Drown in the vortex of desire**Elizabeth's POV***I was on top of Brandon. Our arms and legs were entwined with each other. His body heat was so hot it was going to melt me! He was like lava burning me with amazing heat.Suddenly, he rolled over and pinned me down, kissing my neck and breasts.He kept his eyes closed. Maybe he thought all this was a drunken wet dream. Maybe he figured me for Rosa.Strangely enough, I did not want to resist at all. When Damien did this to me, I only felt nervous and repulsed. But when Brandon did the same thing, I expected him to do more.I suddenly realized that the Damien I loved had always been the young Brandon I imagined myself to be when he grew up.I loved Brandon, I loved the gentle and thoughtful young Brandon, and I fell in love with him from the first sight of him.My life has been full of thorns and storms, and just a little bit of sunshine and warmth can make me remember it forever.The glass shards left my hands at some point. I coul
30Fire-breathing Monster**Austin's POV***Her aroma mixed with the smell of blood and burning disturbed me. She must be going through a very difficult time."I could feel that our mate was in a immense amount of pain. She is suffering. We have to find her.""Sheis running faster and faster. I can notcatch up. come on, switch to you." I gasped and said to my wolf."Okay."I Relaxed and let my wolf take over my body. I could clearly see my whole body covered with thick black fur, while my speed increased 10 times.Thanks to my wolf's help, I finally saw my mate's back.I could notbelieve what I saw."Oh my goddess, her whole body is on fire!""Look! Sheis not running. Sheis flying! Look at those two large w
**Elizabeth's POV***After a long torture of shifting, the pain faded away and I regained my sanity.Looking at the houses I had burned and the werewolves I had killed, I realized that my wolf had done extraordinary things during my unconsciousness. It gave vent to the fire of anger and hatred that I had suppressed for eight years.I could not imagine that my wolf was incredibly powerful. Things that I once could not do were now accomplished with ease.Those rogues, the Alpha of the Black River Pack that I thought were too powerful to overcome, were easily killed by me. They were as vulnerable to my attacks as ants.I marveled at the terror of my power. I knew that my wolf did not belong to any of the known species of werewolves. There were very many things that I could not understand at the moment. But I knew I was exhausted.My insides seem to be on fire. I would soon fail to support myself and pass out.I had to get out of there.As I was about to leave, I saw Austin.The arrogant
