PROLOGUE
Elara's POV
“I would never harm anyone, Lola. What are you talking about?" I pleaded with my best friend as she advanced towards me. She responded.
"I know you wouldn't, but he doesn't, and this is the perfect chance for me to get you out of my way." I took steps backward, torn between not wanting to hurt my friend and realizing her intentions. She a beta was much stronger than my omega wolf. She looked entranced, having just torn apart a man in the woods.
“Listen, Lola, you can fight whatever this is," I implored. She retorted.
"Fight what? Are you just too kind or a stupid bitch?"
She accused me of a crime she had committed, pushing me against a tree. I desperately tried to reason with her.
"My mate knows I could never hurt anyone. Plus, you're the one covered in blood." She continued to approach, her human form now revealed.
"Your mate! You're fucking annoying. Well not for long..You did this, Elara. Why? I thought I was your best friend." she accused in a mocking tone, pushing me against the tree again as this time I was still on the grass.
Helpless, I watched her go to the man she had killed, frozen in a half-transition. She scratched herself with his claws and brandished his knife.
“What are you doing?" I asked, attempting to stand but falling back.
"You did this, Elara," she mocked, approaching with the raised knife. Desperation in my voice, I pleaded,
"Lola, please fight this."
Looking into her eyes, I noticed a celestial gold color, realizing she wasn't a wolf but a witch. I barely had time to regret my blindness when she kicked me hard, and as she raised the knife, I tried to stand.
Before she could harm me further, she stuck the knife into her own arm, and we both screamed me in fear and her in pain, she intentionally hurt herself. Alpha Aiden arrived just in time.
"Noo!!" he screamed, rushing towards Lola.
She claimed I attacked a man and accused her of stealing my mate, she also added that I was a witch. Alpha Aiden, seemingly convinced, had his guards drag me to the car so they could take me to prison he also mentioned tomorrow I will appear in court for trial, while he embraced Lola, his attention fully on her.
