Another Chance for the Beta
Chapter 23

HAYLEY

I don't say anything at first, but Raina comes through. "Ask her about pup, we need to know why," she says with a growl. I can't help but feel all my emotions; I want to know why she did what she did.

"I want to know why you did what you did?" I say with a snarl.

"What do you want to know first? Why I set you up to take the fall for the funneling of the money or about what I did to you all those years ago," Carly says with the same smirk on her face.

Hayley growls. "I want to know everything," I shout. "Why?"

Carly doesn't say anything, but she smiles.

"Why would you do such a horrible thing?" I scream. "Why would you push me down the stairs and beat me?

Carly still doesn't say anything, but her smile gets wider, which only makes me more angry.

"Why would you do that?" I scream, "I was pregnant!"

"You killed my baby," I scream at her. Carly looks at me and starts to laugh. "You are so pathetic, I knew that baby was Theo's. I never wanted him to have that with you. He was supposed to be mine," she says with a snarl. "Kicking you in the stomach was the best solution for that baby. It would have been weak just like its pathetic mother," she says.

I growl, but the tears coming down my face only make her laugh more.

"I actually came to see you in the hospital, I wanted to see my handy work but Harvey was there with your father so I had to bail but you know what," she said moving closer to the cell gate. "I went back home and fucked Theo."

I look at her but Raina comes through and is with me. "YOU PATHETIC HUMAN, YOU THINK WE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HAVE JUST SAID HE IS OUR MATE," Raina growls "I WILL KILL YOU."

Carly takes a step back, stunned that my wolf has come forward and is with me. "How the hell can you do that?" She says in a whisper, looking slightly stunned at me.

I smirk as Raina goes back slightly, but stays close. "You honestly think I ever listened to my mother," I tell her, while she cocks her head to the side to look at me. "Oh, I know more than you ever know, especially when I was invisible when it came to her. She never treated me like her daughter but also I had help from a few people who cared about me," I said, watching her.

She looks at me and smirks. "Well, you would have been set to prison if that stupid mat...I mean human didn't mess it up," she says.

I look at her, both Raina and I look at her and the realization sets in about Shane.

I walk closer to the cell gate. "Shane was your mate, wasn't he?" I asked her.

She growls. "The Moon Goddess paired me with a pathetic human. I didn't want him but he was so keen on you, I thought I would trade in for a better model and you could have mine," she says. "He didn't like the fact that you never slept with him and to be honest, I was surprised that you didn't," she says.

"Well, not everyone opens their legs to every male man they find just so she can find one that's better. We have mates for a reason," I say with a snarl.

She moves faster and stretches her arm through the cell gate, but I move quickly away from where I was standing.

"You pathetic bitch," she says. "Why would Theo want you over me? I have so much more to offer him than you."

I look back at her, but she carries on. "You know what I had to do to get in this fucking pack? My mother didn't like her mate, so she rejected him. But when he killed her, he wanted me to do his bidding, and he knew how," she says. "I always sent messages to where to send rogues in or send them after people. They would get killed."

"What do you mean by that?" I ask her and she looks at me with a smile. "Oh, I sent him after the stupid alpha's parents. I didn't know Theo's parents were with them, but I was there to comfort him," she says with a smirk. "You weren't talking at the time."

I can feel Raina coming through as we know she is lying about this. We were with Theo the whole time and I even snuck into his bedroom to stay with him to make sure he was alright. She is full of lies.

"The best one was the night your father was killed," she says, suddenly smirking at me. I look at her.

The color from my face drains. "What do you mean?" I ask and she starts to laugh again. "Some rogues killed your pathetic father when he was on his way to see you. I thought it was highly fitting that you lose someone close to you." I growl loud. "You killed my father. Why?"

She looks at me. "Oh, I killed him; I was there when a rogue ripped out his throat. You see, my father will do anything for me, even if it means playing along with my schemes. We came up with the plan to set up Alpha Jacob. He would be in shit creek by now with the company that he just signed to help, which in all fairness would be the cherry on the cake. My father has had his hand in this business since I found him. He knows everything that goes on," she says. I notice a figure standing by the side, but she is not in view of Carly, so she cannot see her.

"My father will come for me and when he does this pack will die, he will become alpha and I will rule alongside him," she says sounding happy.

I look at her; she really believes what she is saying.

But suddenly the figure that comes around the corner is smiling at me but looks towards Carly. "Thank you for spilling your guts, you will be killed today," Agent Matthews says.

"I won't be killed. Who the hell are you?" She shouts. Three guards come around the corner and I move back against the wall but Agent Matthews looks at me. "I think you should leave. This is going to get messy," she says, but I shake my head. "No, I want to watch."

Agent Matthew looks at me for a moment and nods. "I can understand why after what she did, your father and unborn child."

We both look as two of the guards are on either side of Carly, holding her in a grip while the third is in front of her; he stabs her right in the heart with a silver blade. Her screams fill the air but when the knife plunges into her heart, she dies within seconds.

The guards drop Carly's body and leave Carly in a heap on the floor, leaving the cells to go outside. I can't help but stare at her lifeless body. Well, both Agent Matthews and I just stared at her body, but she turned to look at me. "Hayley, it's over," she says quietly. "I think you need to talk to someone."

I look back at her, confused at the moment, but she points to the corner of the ceiling; I look up and notice a small camera placed in the corner of the cells and look back at her, but my face must have said a thousand words to her. Everyone must have been watching the show. But reality hits Theo must have been in there. He heard everything.

She nods as she can tell that I figured it out. "We were watching the whole thing and when I mean we some people who needed to know about this before you came down here," she says and looks towards the door to the entrance of the cells. "I think you need to talk to him. He was in a mess before I came down here."

She turns and holds her hand out to me. "Come, I think you need to get out of here," she says. I place my hand in hers and she guides me out of the cells, but I can't help but look down at the ground.

As I get outside, I can feel eyes on me but I look up to see many eyes who have pain written in them, but it is the eyes I land on who have tears streaming down his face who are staring back at me. Agent Matthews leaves my hand and nods to someone. I don't know who, but my focus is on Theo, who is standing a few yards away from me.

I turn to look at Harvey, who is hugging a very angry and upset Harrison.

Everyone has been hurt by what was said.

Theo walks slowly to me; I can sense him moving closer to me.

"He wants us and he is hurting too," says Raina in a quiet voice suddenly. "But he wants to make sure we are alright."

I look up as he gets to five feet away and looks down at me. "I think we need to talk," he says in a whisper, but all I could do was nod as some tears flowed down my face.

He holds his hand out to me and I place mine in his. We walk towards the forest with no words being said.

There are so many emotions going on between the both of us we don't talk but walk, we need this.
