Hava called out Ashton after the meeting execution of the omega to their secret hideout.
"I killed her" she said pacing around.
"What are you talking about, who did you kill?"
Ashton asked, he was worried by the way she was acting, she was completely restless making him panic about it.
"The omega from just now, I killed her" she answered biting her fingernails hard, she blamed herself for the death of the Omega, it was the first time she had seen someone killed so gruesomely in front of her and it was all her fault.
"No, you didn't kill her.
The Alpha did because she tried to poison Lily" he corrected her trying to calm her down.
"You don't understand, I killed her"'she objected still stating that she did it making Ashton more confused by why she would claim to do that when everyone saw Alpha Reid kill the girl.
"How did you kill her?" He asked calmly expecting her to explain everything to him.
"I was the one who tried to poison Lily" she blurted out to him avoiding his gaze.
"What!" Ashton yelled in shock over hearing such a thing.
"I had no choice Ashton but she was the one who got punished for it.
I'm so sorry" she cried resting on his chest, Ashton was still in shock trying to put all the pieces together.
"Why would you try to kill Lily?" He asked slowly raising his eyebrows, he had never heard her complain about Lily and was baffled by why she would try to kill her.
"Technically it wasn't her I was trying to kill, it was the child" she blurted out and he shifted away from her immediately.
"Why would you try to do that, that's the Alpha's baby?" he yelled at her reprimanding her for such a act.
"I know Ashton but I had no choice, it was either the baby dies or I die" she answered.
Hava knew that if she failed to do the task then Rebecca won't hesitate to expose her to the Alpha.
"What are you talking about, you are confusing me Hava.
Why would you try to kill the child and who is after your life?" he asked concerned.
She bit her fingernails crying loudly in front of him, he had no choice than to draw her closer to him to ease her down.
"Don't worry, the child is okay" he said comforting her thinking she was feeling guilty for killing the child too.
"No, the child has to die" she pushed herself away from him acting all weird.
"The child has to die" she kept muttering like she was possessed.
Ashton watched her for a while before he held her hand, he could see how much fear she was in and he wanted to know why.
"Tell me what is going on, why does the Alpha's baby have to die" he asked calmly to make her see that he was eager to know what was happening with her.
"Please forgive me Ashton" She cried out to him confusing him more.
"What have you done Hava?" He questioned,
She pulled him to a seat and wiped her tears,
"Promise me you won't get mad" she begged him.
"I promise" he answered sharply, he was too eager to know what was going on that he promised her immediately.
"Rebecca found out about us" she stated and he got up surprised.
"What did you do Hava?" He asked thinking she was the reason Rebecca found out about them.
"I didn't do anything.
She saw you coming out of my room one morning and confronted me, I tried to deny it but she already figured it out and wouldn't buy my lie.
In order to keep her mouth shut, I decided to help her get the Luna title in exchange for her silence.
The whole plan was set and she was supposed to poison Lily but this morning she changed the plans and blackmailed me into doing it" she narrated and Ashton instantly frowned.
"So you are saying the plan was to kill the Alpha's baby just so that she could get the Luna title" he asked.
"Yes"
"Damn it Hava, why would you agree to such a thing?" He barked at her furious.
"I didn't want to, when I found out I was pregnant yesterday, I didn't want to go through the plan because I would be killing an innocent child. This morning I confronted her that I wanted out but instead she blackmailed me into poisoning Lily" she answered him feeling sorry for what she did.
"If Rebecca knew all of that, why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
If she had told him earlier then he would have thought of a much better way to seal her lips.
"I thought I could handle her"
"And look where that has gotten you" he stated.
"Ashton please don't be mad at me, I didn't know that things would turn out this way. The whole plan was to kill the child but someone else got blamed for it.
Please forgive me Ashton" she pleaded holding his hand.
"Let go of me" he brushed her hand off, he needed to think, his problems had just multiplied and he was totally lost on what to do. He thought about it for a little while before he began to hear sobs from behind him.
He turned back and there she was crying as she stared at him, it broke his heart to see her that way.
His feet motioned themselves to her and he hugged her tightly,
"Don't cry Hava" he said wiping her tears.
"But you are mad at me" she let out,
"Not anymore" he replied.
"Don't worry dear, I will find a way to get us out of this" he said comforting her.

Back at the Dark moon pack, Bella held the hands of young Luther as they walked down the corridor to Alpha Coast's office.
"Coast, I will like you to me someone" Bella said peeping in.
Alpha Coast immediately dropped what he was doing once he saw her.
"Who is it?" He asked and the door opened, a young boy with weary eyes who seemed scared of him appeared in front of him.
Alpha Coast remembered him as the kid who struggled for the attention of his mate and won over him.
"Good evening Alpha" he greeted with shaky hands.
Coast stood up and walked towards him, the boy looked terrified as he looked up to him.
"Good evening Luther" he said picking him up in his arms.
"For a moment I thought you were going to bully him" Bella sighed in relief, she had thought that he would threaten the child making him cry and run away from his presence but he rather welcomed him into his arms.
"Why would I do that?" Coast asked with a smile on his face.
When he stared at Luther, he reminded him of Bella's younger brother who he had only seen once and that was on the day he died.
"Well you two have history" she answered recalling so well that she had called him a monster in front of Luther and he also hated Luther for being with her.
"Of what Bella, he questioned.
"Uhhhmmm, never mind.
Would you like to play a game Luther, I am taking him home to play chess. I just thought you should see him first before we leave" Bella stated and he dropped Luther back to the ground.
"Chess, I can play chess" Coast answered.
"But you are busy, I can just play it with Luther" she objected.
"No, I am not busy at all.
How would you like to play chess with me Luther?" He asked him holding his hand.
"I would like that very much Alpha" the boy answered politely as they walked out of the office not caring about Bella anymore.
"I'm still here, never-mind"
Bella watched them from behind and couldn't help but smile, it made her think about what type of father Alpha Coast would be if her child had lived.
"Damn you Hava" she cursed at her cousin for not giving her the opportunity to see that happen.
"Checkmate" Luther screamed happily for winning the third time against Alpha Coast.
"You are going easy on him aren't you?" Bella said keeping dinner in front of them.
"I'm just playing chess" Alpha Coast answered.
"Move away" Bella said feeling competitive.
She challenged Luther to another round while Alpha Coast fed them while watching the whole match.
"Checkmate" Bella yelled loudly after her win.
She danced around the house in joy.
"What have you done Bella?" Coast called out to her and she finally noticed that Luther was sulking,
"Woah, it's just a game Luther, you have won three times" she stated.
Luther widened his mouth at first then began crying, he ran to Alpha Coast for comfort after his loss.
"She is bad" he pointed at her.
"How am I bad?" Bella uttered pouting her lips.
"Yes, she is very bad. She is a monster" Coast got back at her for calling him a monster before in front of the kid.
"You too" she sounded frustrated that Coast would take Luther's side.
"He is just a child, you have to go easy on him" Alpha Coast answered, he had let Luther win three times so that it could boast his confidence and not let him cry.
"I'm sorry Luther" Bella said taking note of that.
Once Luther heard her apologizing, he instantly stopped crying and smiled.
"Again" he yelled for the last round, Bella allowed him to win this time and he beamed happily dancing in joy.
The day came to an end and Luther was sent back to his foster home, they both waved him goodbye standing by the porch as a guard took him home.
"So what else do you want to do my dear Alpha" Bella wrapped his hands around her waist as they walked in.
"I just want you in my arms" he answered picking her up and taking her to the room. Bella rested on his arm with other hand on her waist.
"You know Luther reminds me of my younger brother Olive, whenever I win, he would cry and yell at me. He told me that as his older sister I should let him win all the time and then each time I let him win, he would rub it in making me furious".
Alpha Coast could feel how much Bella missed her family, there was no doubt that she had a perfect family but all that was taken away from her by Alpha Nathan.
"I never got to meet my step brother, he was still in the womb when I banished his mother.
I don't think I will ever get to meet him and honestly I don't care. I treat my Beta and Gamma as my younger brothers. They are my family now" he relayed.
"And what about me?" She turned her face towards him.
"You are my life" he answered and kissed her lips.
