Werewolf
Rejected Their Broken Luna Chapter 229: Chap-229*Promise To Take Revenge*
Author’s POV:
Years Ago:
It’s been a month since Eva passed away on the school grounds, and Zeon killed those rogues. Rowdy was the only one that survived, but he went into a coma after that night.
Zeon had no clue what to do because it seemed like everybody was more focused on the ones that got killed than on Eva.
"She was innocent," he yelled at the counselors, who shook their heads at him.
"We will call our first witness here, who will explain to us how Eva had been clawing at the other boys and meeting them in the library." The elder of the counselor spoke as he pointed at the door. All eyes turned to the door, waiting for this so-called character witness.
Zeon didn’t have a very good feeling about it. It seemed like something bad was about to happen. Why did they even need to have an investigation?
A she-wolf got gang raped and killed. Why were they investigating her? It was beyond his mind, and he was just plain hurt and lost. There was nobody on his side. He was suffering and watching people raise eyebrows at him. They didn’t even let him give Eva a proper funeral. They thought they needed to first investigate this whole case.
Zeon watched in the direction of the door to see who this witness was. As expected, Maleeka walked in with her head high, as if she were headed for some justice to be served to the right ones.
"Miss Maleeka, do you mind telling us about your friend?" The counselor asked, and she nodded her head.
"She used to tell me all about the affairs she was having behind her mate’s back. I even found out later that she killed her own babies. She didn’t want to get pregnant with him. She would meet up with boys all around and even invite them over to school and make out with all of them. That day in particular, she had invited them over, but then her mate joining her made her change her mind. The boys got angry, and that’s when all that happened," she shamelessly lied while Zeon got on his feet.
"She is fucking lying about Eva. She was not at all that kind of person. Maleeka is---," Zeon was shut up when a cop injected him with wolfbane.
"That is enough. That is all we needed to hear. Even her teacher, Mrs. Dion, told us she had lied before about Maleeka pushing her downstairs when Mrs. Dion was the eyewitness to what happened that day on those stairs. Eva tripped and then accused Maleeka," the counselor was angry at Zeon for defending Eva.
Zeon was shocked at how they were completely ignoring the fact that she did get raped and killed. They were just making up excuses and making it seem like she deserved it.
Soon they announced that Eva was a victim, but she had invited the men to the school. They also decided to punish Zeon for shifting on the school’s ground and killing others.
There was then a rule that nobody would shift on the grounds of the school; nobody would invite anyone to the school.
Frustrated and defeated, Zeon was left alone in the prison, where he had to remain for five years and show control over his wolf, or else he would spend a lifetime in the prison. They also got him a snake tattoo to make him stand out for someone whose wolf was not under his control.
He spent two weeks in prison because Maleeka waited for his anger to die down. Then, after two weeks, she used her status and bailed him out.
He was a free man, but he didn’t feel that way.
There was anger, frustration, and betrayal. He felt alone and betrayed by everyone. Once he got out, the first thing he did was go to Maleeka’s house. He wanted to speak to her to let her know she would not get away with what she did.
He wanted to yell at her and ask her, Why punish Eva? He was the one who didn’t want to be with Maleeka. She should have lied about him, not her.
While he got invited into the mansion because the guard recognized him from his years-old visits, Maleeka didn’t know he was here.
She had called Mrs. Dion over to finalize things with her.
"You didn’t pay me," Mrs. Dion was watching Maleeka sip through her wine and feeling all happy with herself.
"I did," Maleeka lied.
There was no way she was going to give Mrs. Dion a penny now. She knew Mrs. Dion couldn’t back away from her statements anymore, or it would be considered perjury.
So why exactly should she pay her?
"You did not. You promised you would keep Cynthia safe from her father. He will ruin her if I don’t take her away," Mrs. Dion had no idea the girl she had been making deals with could be so heartless and evil.
"And why would I care?" Maleeka shrugged her shoulders, "your daughter will eventually grow up and find herself a mate who will save her. So what is the rush?" Maleeka knew that because she didn’t pay Mrs. Dion, she couldn’t be treated, and now her health had declined miserably.
"I cannot believe you would do such a thing. You made me lie about not seeing you push her off the stairs. You even made me testify falsely against that poor girl, who had no idea you were the one who promised to pay those boys a heavy amount for raping her and killing her. You did all that and didn’t get to pay anyone. You are a definition of true evil," Mrs. Dion shouted at Maleeka, who only rolled her eyes back at her. She was not afraid of her or anything.
But there was someone who had heard them talk. Zeon felt his blood turning cold when he acknowledged how far Maleeka had taken it.
She paid boys to ruin his life and steal Eva away from him.
"Do you mind leaving, or are you waiting for my guards to throw you out?" Maleeka was done here; she had wiped her hands clean from all the crimes she committed. She was now waiting to meet Zeon again. She had planned to convince him that whatever statement she gave in the courtroom was true.
"You will pay for your sins," Mrs. Dion got up on her feet and muttered.
"You are the one to say? Oh yes! You are anyway dying, but don’t think your suffering will end there. Your daughter might get hit with karma; she might go through what that girl went through because you sided with me." Maleeka was enjoying playing with Mrs. Dion's misery.
The tears in Mrs. Dion's eyes made Maleeka let out a laugh and then click her tongue at her.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at you. The one who thinks she is innocent. Don’t forget, we both played our parts. The only difference is that you got nothing out of it, and I will get everything, but that doesn’t make you innocent; it only makes you stupid," Maleeka smirked as she winked at Mrs. Dion. "Now get the fuck off here," she yelled once the fun was over. Zeon had heard everything, but he didn’t plan to attack right away.
He knew killing her would be nothing but a mercy; she needs to feel the pain Eva felt when she kept losing her baby, when she will feel insecure like Maleeka made Eva feel.
He left the mansion and came back hours later.
Maleeka was surprised when he arrived by himself, but she was expecting him to yell at her or probably hate her.
She watched him slouche down on the couch, not looking at her. She was sitting at a distance from him, praying in her head. He didn’t ask her to never come into his sight again.
"I realized it was all my fault that I chose her over you," the instant he said that, she let out a deep breath in relief and smiled to herself.
She didn’t think it would be too soon, but she wouldn’t question it.
"It is fine; we all make mistakes," being proud of herself. She was happy that finally everything was working her way.
"I don’t even know how to apologize to you. She left me broken and hurt," it shattered him that he had to say those things about Eva, but in his heart, he knew why he was doing that.
All these people were going to suffer greatly. He had chosen a slow and painful death for them.
For Mrs. Dion, he couldn’t really do anything because she passed away in the next two days, but that didn’t mean she had survived. He had made sure to get her blood before her passing and paid whatever he had saved to a dying witch to create blood magic. He had this elixir he was going to use on Cynthia’s wolf when she came of age.
"You didn’t have to apologize to me. I never stopped loving you. I am always going to be there for you," Maleeka felt an urge to smile but had to act all sad.
"Really? Does that mean you will accept me as your mate if I choose you?" Zeon was disgusted by the idea, but it would only work in his favor, so he was ready for it.
"Really?" Maleeka couldn’t help but smile anymore.
"Yes, I want you to be my mate," and from that day onward, Zeon promised to make them suffer.
