*** +15 BONUS "Are you sure you'll be okay talking to her alone?" Asks Alpha Reagan as we step into the hallway that leads to Hayley's cell. I look up at him with a frown on my face.
"Of course I can. Stop treatinglike I'm shopeless, fragile creature." I snap. He lifts both hands in the air, surrendering to me.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI felt sorry for her when I saw her getting bullied by my sister because it was something I had experienced as well. Because of that, I let her in easily. We were friends for one week. We did almost everything together. I enjoyed every moment I spent with her. I trusted her with my life, but then, she did this.
She drugged me. She planned with others to havegang-raped by Lycan men.
Do I even want to see her face right now? I don't think I do, but I need to talk to her. I need to ask her why she did it and I want to see the look in her eyes when she tellsher reason for betrayingthe way she did.
"Ashanti!" Her familiar voice snapsout of my thoughts and that's when I realize I have arrived at her cell. I stop in my tracks and turn around stiffly, like a robot, to face her. She's standing behind the barred door, tears in her eyes, looking like a hot mess. "Ashanti." She calls my nagain and I feel like ripping her tongue from her mouth so she will never be able to callagain. A tree of anger plants itself in the pit of my stomach, shooting its branc my spine, into my arms and legs. I clench my trembling hands into a fist and grit my teey body is vibrating with anger.
feel "I took pity on you because you were bullied by Rhea. I made you my friend. I made your like you belonged in H e m just like everyone else yet you repayby doing this?" "Ashanti I'm sorry!" She cries bitterly. My eyes water as I watch the river of tears flowing down her cheeks. "Right now I regret what I did. I should've told you, but I was too scared of what they'd do toif they found out that I ratted them out to you" "Who are they?" I ask calmly and she shakes her head.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you. If I do, they'll kill me." "Rhea and Alina. Are they the ones?" "I can't say!" Then they are the ones.
I suck in a deep breath to calm my raging nerves. I shouldn't hate Hayley. She's just a victim of circumstances. Even though I'm mad at her for betraying me, I understand why she did that. 1/2 +15 BONUS Alina alone is terrifying. She can intimidate you to the point where you cause your death, so I understand how Hayley felt.
"Hayley. You have to call names. You don't have to go down alone. Look." I hold her hands through the bar and keep my eyes lucked in hers. "If you tellthe truth, I will keep you safe. Alpha Reagan himself will make sure nothing will happen to you, I promise. Whoever they are, they won't be able to harm you. Please." I beg her desperately but she keeps shaking her head in denial.
"No, i can't because you don't know what they'll do to me, but you have to believewhen I tell you that I had no idea the juice had been drugged. Please Ashanti..." Her voice drops in a whisper. "I don't want to die." She says with trembling lips. "I don't want my parents to die either." "You're not going to die and neither will your parents. I can protect you, but you need to say who set you up to this." I urge her, but she keeps shaking her head and she's breathing frantic, looking left and right as though she can see a grim reaper walking towards her with and axe in his hand, ready to take her head.
"It's not safe here." She whispers, her eyes burning deep into mine.
