Chapter 116 I Deliberately Hid the Truth

(Alonso’s P.O.V.]

When Rose came to me for help and told me what had happened yesterday, I wasn’t too shocked because I had been told when I was given this mission that they would encounter difficulties and challenges in their relationship. This incident must be one of

them.

Rose requested for Susanna and me to try getting close to Edward, hoping we’d be able to sense something. We immediately agreed.

And that was how I ended up wandering around the pack’s dining hall at breakfast. When I saw Alpha enter, I summoned Susanna in the dark and we walked forward together.

“Good morning, Alpha.” I greeted him but he looked at me warily as if he didn’t know me.

“I’m sorry for what happened to you, but thank God you came back safely.”

“Thank you, but why are you hanging around here?” asked he.

“Luna will be training nearby in a while.”

A hint of confusion flashed through his eyes but he quickly regained his composure.

“Oh, but there’s no need for that now.” “Why?” “I’ve just banished her so she should be leaving this place very soon. All activities related to her are now suspended.”

“Alpha, this isn’t an activity. This is related to her life and the safety of your pack!” I was already expecting him to say something like that but not with such coldness.

“But don’t you get it? Her presence is what puts my pack in danger!” He shouted at me.

“Why?” asked I on purpose.

“Shouldn’t I be asking that question to you? Why and how are unrelated people like you here in the pack? Where are the guards?” He shouted at the castle entrance. Soon, a few guards rushed over.

“Chase them out. From now on, non-members of the pack are not allowed to enter the castle!”

I saw Dylan and the others surround us but their eyes showed that they were doubtful of their Alpha’s command as the looked at us apologetically. I gestured to them not to touch us. Susanna and I would walk out on our own.

After putting some distance between us and the castle, we arrived at a small hill. I turned to Susanna but before I could ask, she spoke first.

“It’s black magic. Alpha has been cast with black magic.”

“I thought so too, but I couldn’t feel it. It must have been casted by a high-level dark wizard?”

“That’s not all. If I’m not wrong, with or without the black magic, that person isn’t Alpha in the first place.”

“What?” I shouted in disbelief.

“I’m not 100% sure because he has a strong smell of black magic on him. But if I’m right, someone must have used a lot of black magic to make him appear and smell like Alpha. Alonso, you have to find a way to tell the other members of the pack as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, Susanna. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

After Susanna left, I used telepathy to contact Rose. This was the first time I used it with her but she quickly responded.

“Alonso, were you able to discover anything?” asked she anxiously.

“I’m sorry, we didn’t see anything unusual about him.” Was what I initially told her, which made her very disappointed and depressed

“Are you saying that, besides his sudden change in personality, you didn’t find anything else that was strange or different about him?”

“I don’t know if he’s been influenced by a cult or the concussion had rewired his brain. But you guys will have to figure it out on your own. I called you to talk about something else.”

“What is it?” She replied listlessly. It seemed that she was not interested in anything other than Edward’s matter.

“Do you still remember the historical records of the Werewolves of Chaos that Alpha once read? Most of them died at the hands of Nicholas, but a small number of them were missing.”

“Yes.”

“Did he ever mention to you that the reason vampires and werewolves were mortal enemies was because the vampire’s ancestor, Cain, died under the fangs of a Werewolf of Chaos?”

“Yes, he had told all the ranked members. Weren’t you the one who told him?”

I took a deep breath. I knew that what I was about to say would shake Rose, but perhaps it was time.
