The Alpha's Return You foolish idiot
Arabella’s POV"Bella, I understand that you're going through a tough time right now, but what you said was completely uncalled for. Susie had her reasons for keeping her secret, and you know that as well as I do. She didn't intentionally lie to you; she was just trapped in a difficult situation. If your own sibling had asked you to keep a secret, what would you have done?" Sara sighed, disappointed.Deep down, I knew she was right. Susie wasn't the one responsible for my unhappiness, but I couldn't deny that she could have at least prepared me for it."So what? You expect me to just forgive her? Forgive him?" I snapped, my frustration boiling over.Sara held up her hands defensively. "I'm not saying that, don't twist my words. Arabella, I've been by your side throughout all of this.

However, witnessing the sheer horror reflected in her eyes as she discovered the aftermath of my killing spree, fear overcame me, and I fled like a fucking coward.Having sifted through the belongings of those whose lives I had ended, I stumbled upon a lighter and a set of fresh clothes. With a heavy heart, I dragged the lifeless bodies into the tent. Taking a moment to steady myself, I took a swig from the bottle of bourbon I had found, letting the fiery liquid burn my throat. Pouring the remaining contents of the bottle over the evidence, dousing it in alcohol while I played with the lighter. With a flick, I s
