---- Chapter 4. From that night on, Leo dropped all pretenses. He would hurled vicious insults at me, lock me inside the den, and forbid anyone from speaking to me. As the alpha of the pack it was easy for him to do anything he wanted to me. He confiscated my phone, and every time my father or brother called, I could only answer under his watchful, icy gaze. He said I needed to atone for my sins, the sin of taking the life of the she wolf he loved. Without me knowing, he had come to hate me so deeply that he wished I would die without a trace. And later, he got what he wanted. But why? Why was he still not happy? Did I suffer for nothing? Pain wretched through my wolf. Now, standing there with my prenatal report in hand, Leo was trembling with rage. It said I was seven weeks pregnant. ---- The pup was only the size of a bean, barely able to be called a life yet but that was my pup. I could feel his heartbeat. But Leo couldn't. So why did it hurt him too? Why is he acting all hurt when he hurt us? Why did he cry heavy tears that fell onto the paper, soaking the final image of our pup? "Go and find Butterfly's parents," Leo said through his teeth and ordered his beta in a broken voice. Maybe he still refused to believe that the truth was different from everything he had believed. But had to dig it all up all the secrets before he could be satisfied. It seemed like he was punishing himself. One wound was bad enough. He had gotten his revenge, Now he wanted to reopen the wound for more pain? She's dead. Even if the truth clears my name, what does it change? He had already killed me. He had already killed our pup. ---- I resisted the urge to curl up and cry. I needed to see how this ended. I sat beside him, waiting. As I looked at his wretched state, I wondered, if only he had woken up a little earlier. Why didn't he find this out earlier?
