Chapter 153
“Oh, Silver Such a shame to see you in such a position like this,” Shirley said, giving me a fake pout. “I’ve heard a lot about you from your darling brother. It’s a shame you don’t want to join him.” “What are you doing here, Shirley? What could you possibly get out of this p>
“Elliot’s pack of course,” she said simply. “He has the largest and strongest pack in the world. That’s always been my goal. Having him and his family out of the way would make that way easier. Scott has a foolproof way of making that happen, so I agreed to help him. In return, I’ll give him some strong warriors and the rest of my pack p>
“You’ve been helping him?” I asked, my brows furrowed. This whole time, Shirley has been helping my brother and the rogues attack the Crown pack? “But you’ve been helping Elliot p>
“I’ve been giving Elliot the old turnaround,” Shirley said with a sly grin. “I was never truly helping him. How do you think his rogues have been entering his pack undetected?
I glared at Scott.
“Why did you need Shirley’s help? Why not just keep changing the scents of rogues to get them access to the pack?” I asked.
“Because eventually they would have figured it out and the element of surprise would be gone,” Scott answered, shrugging. “I only use my powers when I think it’ll be beneficial. Using Shirley allowed me an easy way into the pack without using my powers.” “You will never get away with this,” I hissed. “Once I get out of here, I’m telling Elliot everything p>
I probably shouldn’t have said that out loud, but I was so angry that I couldn’t help it. I was furious on behalf of my husband and my pack. I wasn’t going to let them get away with this and if I have to fight tooth and nail for them to release me, then I would. Shirley chuckled and glanced over her shoulder at Scott.
“Is she for real? Does she really think we are that stupid?” She laughed.
Scott rolled his eyes.
“She’s naive; just like I told you,” he said, folding his arms across his chest.
She laughed again and held her hand out for one of her minions. He handed her what looked like a syringe. My chest tightened at the sight of it.
“What is that?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy.
“Oh, this?” She asked, holding up the syringe. “This will erase your memories. Then, we’ll throw you back in the forest for your darling husband to find you p>
My heart dropped.
“Erase my memories p>
“Only from the last several hours. So, you don’t remember any of this,” Scott clarified. “I’m going to prove to you that Elliot doesn’t care about. you. He won’t hesitate to throw you to the wolves if he thinks it’ll protect his pack. Just like his father’s beta killed his father, Elliot will do the
same to you p>
“I don’t understand. What are you talking about p>
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” he muttered. “You don’t know how to use your powers, so I’m not worried about you being able to reverse things. At least not right now. But you’ll see soon enough that your husband doesn’t care about you p>
I felt a stabbing pain in my neck and
then the warm liquid entered my body. At first felt a light tingling sensation. But it didn’t last long because my entire body went numb, and I felt completely paralyzed. could feel my memories escaping my mind; I tried to hold onto them, desperate to remember something about this encounter. But like pieces of a thread, they unraveled and disappeared into the orbit of my mind.
Specks of darkness clouded my vision, and I suddenly couldn’t remember where I was or what I was just talking about. I couldn’t remember the faces that were once
at
in front of me. I was staring up a
the ceiling, my mind going
completely blank, and my body still
numb from all feeling.
A stranger stood above me; his dark eyes resembling mine and they narrowed as he examined me. Why does this man look like me? What was going on?
“I’ll prove to you, Silver, that Elliot doesn’t love you. He will throw you to the wolves the first chance he gets,” he told me. I would have furrowed my brows together if I could feel my face, but like everything else, my face was numb.
What was this stranger talking about? Elliot loved me. Where was Elliot? How did I get here and where was here?
“Once you find out the truth, I know you’ll do the right thing by joining me. We can destroy him together, just as it always should have been,” he continued.
I wanted to ask him who he was, and why he was speaking such nonsense. But I couldn’t speak. Soon, I felt incredibly exhausted. I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep.
His smile was the last thing I saw before everything went black.
