Wendy’s POV
His revelation exploded in my head and for a moment I could not even understand what he had just said. Everything around me felt distant and slow like my brain refused to process it because it was too horrible.
My body went cold and numb while my ears rang loudly.
He did what?
"You did what?" I asked, my voice shaking as I looked up at him. Tears filled my eyes and blurred my vision but I forced myself to keep staring at him because I needed to see his face, I needed to know if he was lying or if this was another sick manipulation.
He stared back at me without blinking.
There was no guilt.
No regret.
Only something twisted and proud.
"Yes," he said calmly. "I killed our mother because of you."
My heart dropped so hard it hurt.
For a few seconds I thought I had heard wrong but I had not. His face was too serious. His eyes were too clear. He meant every word.
"You’re lying," I said. "You’re just saying this to scare me."
He shook his head slowly."I never lie about important things," he replied.
My hands began to tremble.
"Why?" I asked weakly. "Why would you do that?"
He inhaled deeply and then exhaled like he had been waiting for this moment for years.
"When we were younger, she found out I liked you," he said. "She warned me to stay away from you. She told me it was wrong. She told me I was sick. I tried to avoid you at first. I really did. I tried to control it."
His lips twitched.
"But then the bond started," he continued. "You know that a bond can also form when someone has a very strong desire for another person. It is rare but it happens. I think it happened in my case and I could not help it, Wendy. I could not stop thinking about you. I could not stop wanting you."
I shook my head, tears running down my face."This is insane," I said.
He ignored me and continued."Mother noticed everything. She started watching me. She followed me. She caught us once when we were teenagers. She slapped me in front of you. She called me disgusting. She called you a temptress. She said you were corrupting me."
His eyes darkened."She tried to separate us. She sent you away for a while. She told Calistus our father everything. She even told your brother."
My stomach twisted.
"They made fun of me," he said, his voice turning cold. "They laughed at me. They called me weak. They called me perverted. Father told me he would never let me become Alpha of his clan if I continued this madness. He threatened to disown me."
He laughed softly.
"I endured everything because I thought if I became strong enough, I could still claim you one day. I thought if I waited, they would give up. But mother did not give up."
Fear crawled under my skin."What did she do?" I asked.
His smile widened."She threatened me."
My breathing stopped.
"She said if I ever touched you again, she would kill me herself. She said she would poison me. She said she would expose everything and destroy me completely."
His eyes turned wild again."I lost control that day," he said quietly.
My whole body shook.
"She came into my room at night. She was holding a dagger. She said she would end this before it destroyed our family. She said I was no longer her son. She said I was a monster."
His breathing became heavier."I begged her to understand. I begged her to let me be with you. I told her I would leave if that was what it took. I told her I would give up everything."
He laughed again."But she refused."
My chest felt tight.
"She tried to stab me," he continued. "I stopped her. I grabbed her wrist. We struggled. She kept shouting that I was evil. She kept saying she would rather kill me than watch me claim you."
His voice dropped lower."And then I snapped."
My heart pounded loudly.
"I pushed her," he said. "She fell and hit her head but she was still alive. She was crawling. She was trying to get away. She kept calling me a monster."
He paused. His eyes looked distant."So I strangled her."
My breath left me.
"I held her down and squeezed her throat until she stopped moving. I watched the life leave her eyes. I watched her struggle. I did not stop even when she begged. I did not stop even when she cried."
Tears blurred my vision completely.
"I killed her," he finished. "And then I made it look like an accident."
The room felt like it was spinning.
"You’re sick," I whispered.
"I did it for us," he said.
"For us?" I shouted. "You murdered our mother!"
"She stood in our way," he replied.
"You are insane!"
"I did what was necessary."
"You killed your own mother!"
"She chose to die when she tried to separate us."
My chest rose and fell rapidly."How could you live with yourself?" I asked.
"I never regretted it," he answered. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The calm in his voice broke something inside me.
"You are a monster," I said.
"No, I am your mate Wendy," he replied.
"I would rather die than stay with you."
His eyes darkened again."Don’t say that."
"I mean it."
"You belong to me."
"I never did and I never will"
"You do."
"No!" My scream echoed in the room.
Something inside me snapped. All the fear. All the horror. All the anger.
Everything exploded at once.
My body burned. Pain shot through my bones.
I screamed again as my wolf pushed forward violently in my head.
I had never shifted like this before. It was sudden and uncontrolled. My vision blurred as my body changed. My claws broke through my skin. My teeth lengthened. My muscles stretched and grew.
Ethan stepped back in shock.
For the first time, I saw surprise on his face.
My wolf took over completely.
All I could feel was rage.
All I could see was the man who murdered our mother.
Without thinking, I lunged at him with everything inside me.
