Chapter 26
He looks at each of us, taking in our expressions, before directing his gaze back to my mother. “The only way her name can be changed back is if she consented, and was sworn by blood to the Alpha with the name change. As she is the one who filled out the request for the change in the first place, I don’t think she will change it back. My mother is practically seething in rage at this. “Also after the Exams are finished she will be receiving her doctorate from the University. She will be made a lead research Doctor, and assigned her team of researchers at the Packs Lab. Then shocking us even further. As a Clan
Alpha Female and a Doctor, this will make her more than just a Noble in the pack.”
No! This couldn’t be! How could this be?! All my plans were slipping through my fingers! There has to be some kind of mistake! No! I won’t accept it! She will pay for my pain somehow! My mother asks if the Principal can get Alora here by using the loudspeaker. He tells her no. Since Alora is 12 and a registered Alpha Female of the Pack mom has no parental rights over her anymore.
Mom then grabs my arm, painfully, and drags me out of the office. I have to be able to make that bitch pay for this humiliation! Mom takes us into an empty classroom and calls Alora. I don’t pay attention to what it is she’s shrieking at Alora when she does finally pick up. I don’t care, I just want to take
my anger out on someone.
Wait…she still has to come back to the house. I could find a place away from the house to hold her. There was Granddaddy’s old place in the mountains. It’s been abandoned since he and Grandmommy died. There were no neighbors close by and it wasn’t that far from here. I didn’t know why we didn’t live there.
I knew there was a Trust set aside that paid to have the place taken care of, but that didn’t explain why we didn’t at least holiday there. I remember that there was a large basement the size of the house. There was an insulated wine cellar that would be soundproof, that’s where I could stash her. As though summoning it forward with my thoughts Mom suddenly starts talking about it.
“The House Allister, the one in the mountains!” she yelled. “In Father’s will that the house would go to the daughter with the Crescent Moon and Star mark, If no daughter of mine is gifted with this mark by the time the youngest is twenty then ownership will revert to me!” She yells.
“The will is Registered in the Pack records, and now so is she with her mark! That means she owns the Heartsong Mansion and all the surrounding a thousand acres!” She’s shrieking now.
“That land was the first seat of power for this Pack, Everything on that land is historic and extremely valuable, by bringing that to the family I would have been able to make us the head of the entire Clan and we’d be the rich wolves in the Pack!” she’s practically frothing from the mouth now.
What’s happening, how can this be happening?! Does she get everything?! Why?! She’s just a blight! The mistake! The ugly worthless wretch! How can this be happening?
“The only way we’ll get the house now is if we force her to sign it over to us.” Those words from Mom have me tuning back into their argument.
“How will she sign it over if she doesn’t know about it?” asked Father. “Maybe if we keep silent she won’t be able to take ownership of it,” he suggested.
Mom scoffed at him “You don’t think the Alpha is very aware of that will.” she spits at him. “It was where the First Alpha ruled our Pack, centuries of Alphas owned that house, all Heartsong’s.” she informs us. “Then the powers shifted here or there, and now the Alpha House is on Moorstar land.” Giving us a history lesson. ““Now with that wretch owning that house she’s not only going to be a Nobel in just name only.” She laughs ruefully “I bet he’s waiting till she graduates before telling her about it.” she said.
With this information, I realize keeping her for a long time before I kill her is no longer an option. We’ll need her to turn up dead soon before we lose our status officially, so I’ll only be able to keep her for a week. I’ll start tonight, and I’ll let her know just how close she was to escaping. I’ll let that tear into her soul as I torture and torment her.
I won’t have long, so I’ll make the best of it. That thought gets me to calm down and smile inside again. I’ll have my fun and get my revenge. Mom will never be able to be mad at me anymore, and Matthew will never lust after that slut ever again!
