Special Chapter: Kayden's POV
The more I listened to her speak, the more confused and angry I became. How could all of this have happened without my knowledge?
"You bastard, I blindly trusted you and did everything I could to maintain the friendship between our packs. So how could you have done such a terrible thing to my daughter behind my back? I promise, you'll pay for this," Alpha Turner raged, but we all ignored him. I couldn't bring myself to believe a single word Margallo had said. She has to be lying; she definitely has to. Richard would never do something like that. I trust him completely.
I waited patiently for her to finish what she was saying so I could contradict her and tell her to her face that she was lying, but Elsie beat me to it.
"Richard, is all of what she has just said true?" Elsie questioned, her voice full of hurt. The lone tear that fell down her cheek was unmistakable.
Richard desisted from saying anything, which made me so angry and upset. He knows that we would all believe anything he says, he knows that we would believe him over Margallo if he just denied everything, so why is he not saying anything? Why is he allowing her to accuse him of such vile things? Why isn't he denying any of her accusations? Why? These questions flooded my mind.
"He won't answer you, Elsie, he's too ashamed to speak. He cannot deny any of what I just said because it was all the truth. He betrayed me, so I had every right to take revenge on him. I had every right and every reason to end his life," Margallo said, and Elsie screamed at her.
"Shut up! Just shut up! I allowed you to speak. I gave you a chance to tell us how Richard had wronged you, now just please keep quiet. I don't want to hear a word from you. I only want to hear from Richard. He has to tell me if any of this is true," Elsie said, and all our attention was directed at Richard once more.
