Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161

“Raven didn’t take anything away from you; you never had Hades in the first place!” Aeress shouted, antagonising MaryAnne further.

“Shut up,

“MaryAnne growled, striding over and stepping deliberately on Aeress’s ankle with her heels, a cracking sound suddenly sounding as Aeress gave a pained cry and went ashen.

She’d broken Aeress’s ankle, deliberately.

“Enough. Hurt me instead. Let Aeress go. I’ll do anything you want.” I shouted out in desperation,

“No,” Aeress screamed, shaking her head, “it won’t do any good, Raven!”

MaryAnne disappeared behind a door as Aeress, and I shot each other concerned looks. The sound of a moving trolley made me feel nauseas. MaryAnne stepped back inside the room, wheeling a trolley with her. It was filled with different implements. Various tools. Enough to torture one slowly to death. I blinked, even as Aeress turned even paler. MaryAnne picked up a knife, examining it closely, mesmerized as it glinted in her hands. Her smile grew wider.

Marissa swallowed hard. “Mother, it’s not too late to leave. We could just leave them here, make a life somewhere else. Hell get our pack back now that Alpha Drake is dead…” she trailed off.

Slap. Marissa’s head flung to the side as MaryAnne hit her, her smile growing cold.

“God, how did I end up with such a useless daughter?” she sneered, “Haven’t I taught you properly? Never let anybody harm you or insult you. Sinclair’s takes care of their grudges and enemies. Stop being soft.”

MaryAnne’s eyes began to gleam. Marissa hovered in the background, wringing her hands together, a look of apprehension on her face. She didn’t dare intervene, not after MaryAnne had hit her and called her useless.

“Marissa. We were sisters once. We were friends too. I would have done anything when I was younger for you. Have you forgotten? You used to give me food, your old clothes, and even play games with me. You might have changed, might have become cruel, but somewhere inside of you is that same girl who willingly called me her sister,” I choked out, “don’t let your hatred consume you. I will do anything you want to make it up to you, but killing me isn’t going to take your pain away. It will only make it worse!”

“Don’t listen to her,” MaryAnne snarled, “she’s just trying to trick you. If she thought of you as a sister, she wouldn’t have hurt you so badly. Besides, you’re a Sinclair, not a Shadow. Raven isn’t your biological sister or of your blood. I trained you not to be so weak. Do not let your emotions get in the way of success. You’re my too, my pride and joy. I didn’t waste my time raising you so that you could turn your back on everything I’ve taught you.” she warned as Marissa slowly nodded, avoiding my eyes.

“Better,” MaryAnne said with satisfaction and then slowly raised the knife as my eyes widened. Then she began to lower it, and it was like everything happened in slow motion…..
