1255 Words
Lea growled and glared furiously at Eris. The maid trembled in fear as her eyes met Lea's.
"So you chose to betray me and help this little liar frame me, Eris?" growled Lea in a sharp tone.
Eris lowered her head, not daring to oppose Lea. She could feel that, even in her life-threatening poison state, Lea still possessed a strong and sharp aura.
Lea took the phone. "Garry?"
"Hello, Lea? Where are you? Why haven't you come down to the dress rehearsal hall yet?" said Garry into the phone, when Lea's call connected to him.
Lea's eyes never left Fely and Erin as she spoke to Garry. "Garry, can you come to my room right now? There's something you need to know. It's about Fely."
"Fely? What happened?"
"She tried to poison and frame me. You should see and hear what she does."
"Calm down, Lea, I'll be right there."
Lea hung up the phone and turned to Fely. The woman was still smiling and looked calm. A slight feeling of wonder slipped through Lea at how calm Fely was, when she should have been terrified that Garry would soon find out about her crimes.
Lea gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, then, before Fely and Eris knew it, Lea jumped towards Fely with outstretched claws and grabbed Fely's neck. "How dare you do something dirty like this to me, Fely!" Fely gasped, trying to escape from her stepsister's grip, but Lea was bigger and stronger than her. Fely was helpless when Lea released her neck and went to grab her hair then dragged her body closer to the table.
"I don't think it's only because of Garry. You also want to take my position in Azka modeling and maybe you are also thinking of taking mine in this house, like your mother did to my mother?" said Lea cynically.
Fely pushed Lea who was standing in front of her, but the girl didn't move an inch. "Your mother is dead and my mother has been your father's legal wife since then!" she snapped.
Lea groaned, disgusted by Fely's words. She slapped Fely's forehead so hard that it hit the cupboard and scratched her neck. "You're as much of a b***h as your mother Fely. You know that?"
Lea took another glass which still had milk on the tray and grinned and grabbed Fely's jaw which was starting to run out of energy to struggle.
Lea forced Fely to open her mouth and with a slay smile poured milk from the glass into Fely's mouth. "You must taste your poison yourself, little liar!"
Fely stuttered and cried while choking. Suddenly the bedroom door was kicked from the outside.
"Oh my God, Lea! What are you doing?"
Lea let go of Lily, who immediately fell to the ground, wet and dirty from the spilled milk and her own tears and blood in her neck.
Garry grabbed Fely by the waist and helped her sit on the sofa then handed her a handkerchief so she could dry herself.
Lea clenched her fists at her sides, watching the scene unfolding in front of her with a big question mark inside her head.
"Lea, what do you think you did to your sister?" asked Garry sharply, looking at Lea with a frown. "You are so rude and brutal!"
Lea glanced at Fely who was still out of breath, but she saw the corners of Fely's lips turn up slightly. Lea took Garry's hand and held it tightly.
"Fely poisoned me, Garry. She intends to slander and humiliate me, give me poison that comes from the fangs of a dying wolf and will bring rogues to make it seem as if I mating with them, record and show it to you," Lea explained at length.
Garry slapped Lea's hand and snorted sarcastically. Fely chuckled seeing Lea's confused face because of Garry's behavior.
"Poor little Lea. You always feel that the whole world revolves around you, feel that you are holding heaven in your hands. Feel it, soon you will fall into the depths of hell!" said Fely in a sharp tone.
Garry embraced Fely's waist and planted a kiss on her cheek, then looked at Lea with a smirk. "I never loved you, Lea. You're just my tool to master your pack and expand my pack's territory. I've been in love with Fely for a long time and she's the only one I choose as a mate, not you!"
Lea staggered backwards, not believing her ears. "What?"
"Garry hates you because you're arrogant and annoying. You're making Garry suffer because of your cocky attitude!" accused Fely sarcastically.
"Garry, I become strong for you, so I can be worthy to accompany and support you in building our pack together," Lea exclaimed angrily.
Garry and Fely laughed mockingly. "Your attitude sickens me, Lea. You belittle me with your smartass and overconfidence," Garry said.
Lea felt her heart being stabbed by an invisible knife. She glanced at Garry and Fely in turn, then laughed sarcastically. "So you two did plan this together. You are both trash and worthy of each other. I, Lea Ariane Braiven, daughter of Dalton Braiven--the alpha of the Windclaw pack, swear to sever any ties with you, Garry Eich, lowly alpha and unscrupulous of the Lakeclaw pack! You two will rot in the depths of hell and I will bury you with burning coal myself!"
"What's going on here?" Dalton Braiven's sharp voice--the Wildclaw pack alpha, boomed through the room. Behind him standing with her chin held high were Nyla, Fely's mother and Lea's stepmother.
Seeing Nyla's arrival, Fely burst into tears, making her mother startled and ran over to her.
"Oh God, what is this? A scrath? What happened? Who hurt you like this?" screamed Nyla sadly as she hugged Fely tightly.
"You should ask Lea," Garry said bitterly.
Lea pointed at Garry angrily. "Shut up Garry, you don't have to talk s**t just to knock me out!"
"Lea, why are you talking like that to your future husband?" Dalton snapped. "What have you done to your sister?"
"She's trying to set me up, Dad. She poisoned me. She tried to make me lose my power and make me mate with stranger," Lea said at length. She knew her father was a fair and reliable man.
Dalton snorted and looked at his two daughters in turn. Fely hid her face in Nyla's arms and sobbed. "That's not true, Dad. I just wanna help Lea to get rid her hungover for the wedding," said Fely while sobbing miserably. "I love her, why I have to poisened my own sister?"
"Lea, you're accusing Fely of something dangerous," Dalton said in an even tone. "Isn't that too much, even for you?"
Lea was stunned. "Dad, I'm not making this up. Eris brought the milk for me. Poisoned milk."
"You're going too far, Lea," Nyla screams angrily. "Fely can't possibly do something like that. Her heart is gentle and kind."
"What? Gentle and kind? Your daughter is a slut! She slept with Garry and--"
"SHUT UP!" Dalton snapped. He pointed at Lea angrily. "Watch your words, Lea. Your words could start a war between our pack and Garry's pack."
"Once again, I'm not making this up. The milk Fely gave me is poisoned from--"
"Honey, just call doctor Ian to prove the truth of all this!" screams Nyla getting angrier.
Dalton stared at his wife for a moment, then pointed at Eris.“Call doctor Ian, immediately!”
