“Alpha........ Kex, you are hurting me,” | stammered, my words trembling with fear. Alpha Kex’s grip on me loosened, but | still couldn’t catch my breath. “All of you, leave the room now,” he commanded. Aisha scurried out, and Emily lingered by the door, her eyes wide with terror.

“Please, go,” he said to her, his voice softer now, but still firm. Emily turned and hurried out of the room, leaving me alone with Alpha Kex.

“Why did you spike the food?” he roared, his voice booming in the small room. | stared at him, my mouth agape. “|-I didn’t,” | stuttered, my voice barely a whisper.

“Speak!” he roared, his voice echoing off the walls.

“Why would you think | would spike your food and still lie to you?” | stammered, my voice shaking. “Because,” he said, his voice low and dangerous, “you didn’t know that Emily saw you.”

My throat was dry, and | swallowed hard. “Emily?” | managed to say, my voice barely audible. “Yes, Emily,” he thundered, his eyes dark and furious.

“Do you know the consequences of your actions?” he asked, his voice filled with menace. | swallowed hard, my throat dry and parched.

“I'm innocent, Alpha,” | said, my voice quavering.

“It's not his fault,” | said, but Aisha rolled her eyes.

“How can you say that? He hurt you, Alice!” she exclaimed, her voice angry. “How can you still defend him?” “You won't understand,” | said, my voice raspy. Aisha scoffed.

“Well, enlighten me then,” she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. | took a deep breath and cleared my throat.

“The reason | say it’s not his fault is because he injured me mistakenly,” | explained, my words slow and measured. “And, moreover, Emily lied to him.”

Aisha stared at me, a mix of emotions playing across her features. | could see her trying to process everything | had said. Finally, she sighed.

“That bitch again,” Aisha said, her eyes narrowing as she turned to face me.

| nodded, the anger and hurt still fresh in my mind. “She had lied to him,” | said, my voice hoarse. “She told Alpha Kex that | had spiked his food, so now he’s mad at me.”

Aisha clenched her fists, her breathing heavy. “If it weren’t for the consequences, would walk to her room and beat the hell out of her,” she said, her words tinged with

| shook my head. “It’s too risky, Aisha,” | said. “We have never done anything like this before.”

“We are not hurting anyone, Nelly,” she said, her voice soft and persuasive. “It’s just giving her a taste of her medicine. It’s not too much, is it?”

| shook my head, unsure. “No, Aisha,” | protested weakly. 10:41 Thu, 22 Feb GG. Chapter 29

She nodded, her expression serious. “No time to waste.”
