Chapter 40

I walk out and she spots me, a grin splitting on her face and she opens her car door and gets

out. “Lucy” She smiles like we are best friends and she didn't try to destroy my reputation by making

me out to be some whore.

“How fucking dare you show your face here after what you did” I tell her walking down the

steps. She stops in front of me and I pull my arm back and punch her. She squeals, clutching her

nose before pulling her hands away that were drenched in blood just as my head is suddenly jerked

back by my hair.

“That's my sister” Melana screams but I twist in her grip before punching her in the stomach.

She gasps winded before letting go and I stand upright, only for Josie to punch in the side of the

head. I growl at her.

“You are a fucking bitch, a bloody whore Lucy. It wasn’t bad enough you took him from me and

now you are taking Ace from Melana, is no man safe around you” Josie screams at me before

wiping her nose.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” I snap at her.

“You know Avery and Aamon sent him off and now he will spend the rest of his life burning and

being tortured by her prick of a father because he told you he didn't want you and you were jealous

of me” She screams at me.

I tried to piece what she was saying together before it finally registered. I snort this is fantastic,

it now makes so much sense.

“Mr Tanner, are you fucking serious Josie?”

“Don’t deny it Lucy, I saw you running from his office and then to say he tried to rape you" She

scoffs shaking her head.

“You have no idea what you are talking about Josie, I was not sleeping with Mr Tanner he was a

predator, a fucking predator and you and I were his prey and I can't believe you were stupid enough

to fall in love with a monster like that" I tell her.

“He loves me,” Josie says, shaking her finger in my face.

“Loves you, is that what you think? Josie, he was grooming you, he didn't love you, did you

sleep with him?”

“He does love me, you just had to go and ruin it, like you ruined everything. Everything you

touch you destroy Lucy” She screams at me, tears streaking down her face.

I could hear car tyres in the distance and Melana looked down the driveway before looking at me

with a smirk on her face.

“Josie you are wrong Mr Tanner was not a lover, you are supposed to be my friend, how could

you say those things about me, what the fuck did I do to you?” I ask her. Like how can she not see

Mr Tanner was just using her, he didn't love her. He was a sick perverted freak.

“He is a sick bastard is what he is” I tell her. Her face twists in anger before she lunges at me

and tackles me. I hit the ground landing on my elbow before I slapped her. Rolling her off and I

climb on top of her and try restraining her arms beside her head.

“Josie, he doesn't love you, why can't you see that?” I ask her when I suddenly choke on my

breath. I feel something cold slide into my body between my ribs making me gasp before I sputter

and choke on my words. I feel something warm soak my shirt and I look down to see a knife

jammed in my ribs. I look at it and pull it out wondering how it got there when I look up and see

Melana slicing herself to pieces with her claws.

I feel my lungs filling with blood making me cough blood all over Josie’s face just as I hear a car

stop and suddenly Ace steps into view of me. Melana screamed frantically that I attacked her and

was trying to kill Josie. Josie was sobbing beneath me and I actually wondered if I stepped into an

alternate reality, shit like this just doesn’t happen. How could I be this unlucky in life? As if I didn't

have enough going on, I now had to defend myself against my own mate from his psycho ex.

Ace growls and I look up at him, his face twisted in rage and I gulp yet I was finding it easier to

breathe as I slowly healed. Melana was soaked in blood from her self inflicted injuries and Josie was

thrashing beneath me, trying to get me off her.

Ace grabs my arm pulling me up and off Josie and I see Melana fight back from smiling out of

the corner of my eye.

“Lucy, you alright?” Ace asks and Melana's face falls and I look at him shocked.

“She just attacked us and she was going to Kill Josie because Josie told her some home truths,

she is fucking pyscho Ace, a danger to the pack”

“What truths are those?” Ace asks, looking down at Josie. Josie cowers away from his glare but

doesn't answer, but Melana does.

“That she is a homewrecking lying whore, that's what and then she attacked us” Melana feigns

innocence.

“This is unfucking believable” I mutter shaking my head.

“No, it is very believable” Ace says and my stomach drops and Melana grins triumphantly.

“I am now realizing the extremes you would go to, to try to hurt my mate and I will not tolerate

that. I told you to stay away, Melana. You had no right to come here let alone attack my mate and

your luna” Ace yells at her.

Melana flinches at his anger yet not even I was prepared for what left his mouth next.

“I Ace Kasen Black, Alpha of the Black Moon Pack banish you Melana Addison Parker and Josie

Claire Parker from the Black Moon Pack and hereby declare you both rogues” he says firmly, his aura

rushing out.

“Wait Ace, you can't” Melana gasps as she is stripped from the pack, her scent instantly

changing and I hear Josie gasp and she glares at me with such Malice I was surprised I didn't catch

on fire.

“I can and I did, I warned you to steer clear, Melana. I won't have you attacking my mate

because you are jealous of her, I told you all along nothing would ever come of us” Ace tells her.

“You will regret this Ace, she doesn't love you like I do, what if she rejects you, you and I both

know Tyson is the better choice out of both of you, she don't give a fuck about you only about

titles” Melana argues.

“If she rejects me that is her choice, Lucy doesn’t care about titles Melana unlike you and the

only fucking regret I have is getting involved with you in the first place, now get the fuck off my

pack territory” He screams at her.00000000
