The Alpha Who Killed Me Now Calls Me Mother Chapter 04 The Scar

I stood frozen, unable to understand what Jane was trying to accomplish.

The servants upstairs immediately poured down the stairs, with Ashton charging behind them

“Jane!”

Moments later, he carried her inside and called for a doctor at once.

Curled weakly against his chest, Jane whispered, “Ashton, I fell by accident. Ms. Stone didn’t push me. I only… I was only afraid someone would take you away.”

“Evelyn!” Ashton wheeled toward me. “You’ve gone too far. Someone bring her here!”

Several Betas seized my arms, dragged me over like an animal, and flung me down in front of him. My head struck the edge of a step.

“You dared hurt Jane?”

Ashton’s stare bored into me.

His mistake finally made Jane’s plan clear. I hurried to explain. “I did nothing. There are security cameras on every level of the staircase. Check them.”

Jane tugged at his sleeve and pretended to plead for me. “Let it go, Ashton. Ms. Stone didn’t mean it.”

“Why are you still defending her, Jane?”

He tightened his arms around her and glared at me through clenched teeth. “I will make her pay for what she did to you.”

A bitter laugh escaped me. Of course this was how he reacted.

I had told him in our last life that I was not the one who drugged him, but he had refused to listen Nothing had changed.

Ashton raged, “I’ll cut up your face. That’s the price for hurting Jane.”

Terror shook my head from side to side. I knew he would do it. He felt nothing for me except hatred

If he destroyed my face, every pack would treat me as damaged for the rest of my life.

I shook my head wildly. “No!”

I looked from him to Jane and fought to make them hear me. “It wasn’t me. I swear it wasn’t me. You can’t do this!”

Ashton sneered. “Too late. Bring me my knife. I’ll handle this myself.”

Through my panic, I caught the faint, secret smile lifting one corner of Jane’s mouth.

Rage made me tremble. I tried to fight, but the Betas held me so tightly that I could not move

Ind done absolutely nothing, yet they had dragged me into this nightmare.

Ashton took the knife and walked up to me. Without the slightest mercy, he carved the blade across my face.

Blood streamed down my cheek. My whole body shook with pain, and the rug beneath me quickly turned

red.

Ashton regarded me with eyes of ice. “That is the cost of your crime.”

I raised my head and stared him down.

He bent close and whispered with sinister calm, “Don’t make me angry. I won’t mind killing you a second

time.”

For an instant, my blood seemed to stop. Cold terror swallowed every part of me.

Then hatred flared hotter than fear and consumed my vision.

I glared at Ashton as my hands curled into fists. My nails cut deep into my palms, but I felt no pain.

This was the same Ashton who had murdered me and our children. The bastard had returned to the past

Memories of everything he had done nearly burned away the last of my reason.

He only waved the knife before me. “Will you admit you were wrong? Say it, and I’ll stop.”

“I did nothing wrong!” I stared at him with all the hatred inside me. “Why aren’t you dead yet, Ashton?”

That drove him over the edge. He raised the knife toward my face again.

Before he could bring it down, an even stronger wave of Alpha pressure swept through the hall

The Beras holding me collapsed to their knees and released my arms. Even Ashton struggled to keep his knife raised and nearly dropped to the floor.

“What is going on here?”

Ashton turned around.

“Dad, this filthy Omega pushed Jane down the stairs. I’m teaching her a lesson.”

The moment I saw Craig, relief loosened my chest.

Ignoring the agony in my face, I shouted through clenched teeth, “I never touched her!”

Ashton glared at me. “Then who did it? You’re still lying. Dad, an immoral Omega like this has no right to serve as housekeeper of Mooncrest Court. I’m throwing her out.”

pressed a hand to my bleeding check and looked at him coldly. “You are as stupid as you are shameless,

hton. The upstairs cameras can prove whether I did it. You had no right to ruin my face.”
