Chapter 123 Some Discussions
[Patrick’s P.O.V.]
All of us left the room right after the meeting. Since Diana was waiting for me in my room, I headed over there. Then, Ad and Jane came to my room as well. When Ade was sure that Alpha wasn’t nearvy, he closed the door.
“I don’t understand why we have to be so sneaky now.” Jane complained.
“So, what do you think?”
“Luna may be innocent,” said Ade.
“Please remove the word ‘may’.” Jane rolled her eyes.
“But if Luna really gets expelled, it would be a disaster for her. She may be powerful but she will still be a helpless woman with no source of income.”
I called Luna’s number but it went to voicemail.
“We need to find Luna.”
We walked out the door and split up to find Luna. Diana followed closely behind me.
We around the entire castle and still couldn’t find her.
“Does Rose have any particular place in the pack that she likes to go? Or do you know where she might go when she’s in a bad mood? She must be feeling terrible right
now.”
Diana’s words made me realize that I had once led her up the castle hill once and she had been going there ever since whenever she was in a bad mood because New Moon Pack had a similar hill.
When we arrived at the hill, I saw a woman sitting under a big tree beside the bushes. It was Luna.
“Thank God you’re here.”
But she simply looked up at us silently. Her eyes were red and empty.
“Luna, I believe you.”
When I said this, she looked up at me again.
“I know how powerful you are, and I also know how well you’ve been able to control them ever since you started your training with Alonso.”
“Thank you, Patrick, but there’s no point in any of these anymore. Everyone will think that I caused Eve’s miscarriage.”
“Well, the situation is complicated because now Alpha is playing witness to this, which really puzzles me. Why would he side with someone of another race than his own family?”
“I feel sorry for the loss of her child too.”
Diana walked over and sat beside Luna. She placed her hand on Luna’s shoulder, hoping to give her some comfort.
“If we think about this properly, Eve really shouldn’t have anything against you. The both of you barely interacted so why would she go to such lengths to frame you?” “If this was truly her intentions, I have a feeling something else is going to happen soon.”
“What do you mean?” I looked at my girl.
“If Eve is willing to do this, she must be getting something in return. And I have a feeling that there is a mastermind behind this.”
“You’re right. I’ll look into this.” My mate’s words really helped me clear my head.
“The most important thing now is to figure out how we’re going to help Luna. Alpha had already given the order for her to leave within three days. I don’t know what his problem is but he’s been trying to get rid of you the moment he came back to the pack. We need to figure out a way to help you.”
“Perhaps I should leave.”
When Luna said this, Jane practically ran to her side – she and Ad had just arrived after I texted them Luna’s location.
“Luna, what nonsense are you talking about?! Why should you leave? You’re not the one who did the wrong thing!”
“Well, Edward doesn’t love me anymore. I can’t connect with him and his wolf, and whatever thoughts I could read from his mind are frighteningly strange. Even when I touch his skin, I feel like I’m touching a stranger.
“He’s like a different person and it must be because of the car accident. I had asked Alonso to help me figure it out for me but he told me that he and Susanna couldn’t sense anything unusual about Alpha. I don’t know when things will get better, if it will ever will at all. So I think it’s best if I just leave.”
When she said all this in one breath, we were speechless. We just knew that we would do our best to protect her.
“Luna, if you want to leave the pack, I’ll get that apartment in the city as soon as possible. You can live there and we’ll come visit you from time to time,” said I.
“Thank you, Patrick, I’ll think about it. For now, I would really just like to be alone.
As we walked away, I looked back again. Luna was still sitting under the tree, her head buried in her knees as her shoulders shook.
But we didn’t turn back. We obliged her and continued walking away. I pulled out my phone and instructed Dylan to be on stand by immediately – we were to head to the city right away. I knew how risky my plan was, but I was going to do it anyway.
