Fifty Seven

“Here is what happened. The twins April and May ? You know them both from the files."

"I know of them."

"Good. May was the one everyone expected to matter. She's remarkable, honestly—powerful, fast, skilled, the kind of wolf that makes you take a step back and actually reassess. One of the Black Shadow prodigies. Smart in a way that's almost unsettling for someone her age. If I had to bet on which Quinn daughter was the one you were looking for, I would bet on May every single time.”

“So what happened?”

“May was the one I had my eyes on. In fact she was the one I focus on throughout, yet something strange happened along the way. Despite may being the powerful one that stood out, there was always something odd about her twin. The one who was called "wolfless"

“Hmmm”

I said nothing. I was watching the dark forest as birds and bats were flying away from where they rested.

"April the eldest twin. The one they call worthless, with no active wolf, no remarkable ability and no pack standing worth mentioning, just an heiress by name. Everything the pack values, was all she lacked. Everything they dismiss, she is. She was Howard Quinn's great embarrassment, quietly managed, kept out of anything important."

“The elders despised her, like they were afraid and at the same time disgusted especially with the fact that she was going to marry a powerful alpha. So I killed one or two.. not really sure of the numbers ,created fear spread rumour and found out that the reason for such hatred as because she was exactly the girl or should I say monster that caused chaos ten years ago just like you informed me”

"And so I made it so that she would be kicked out, made May to claim Luke rather than April. Thanks to yours truly and a masterplan I created so elegant it almost made me forgive you for how annoying you are when you're being secretive for refusing to tell me what exactly you need the girl for making my work so hard."

Another pause. I could hear her adjusting her position again. Then she continued

"The switch worked. May married Luke. April was in the ceremony in the wrong role, and then — something happened at the last minute. I kinda made a mistake, well not really like that.”

“Speak Mirabel”

“I attacked the May the newly crowned Luna in her sister’s form to test if she was actually unique but nah nothing was special about her, with that I confirmed it had all been April all along that was when I went to steal the treasure you asked for and I failed as the level of security had madly increased and they were now hunting April down now for treason”

"Maxwell the Captain of the guard with three elite guards are hunting her right now, Aiden. Right now, as I am standing in a bush in the dark talking to you. So if you are planning on doing anything, the window is — I would say narrow."

“If she truly is the one, I should make a move. Where is she currently?”

“Last I heard she drove her bike heading towards the top of the hill at the end of the forest” Mirabel said

"I know where she's going."

“You do?." Mirabel asked shockingly

"She'll come to the river." I sounded confident as to me it was a correct prediction.

"You planned for this?."

“Of course not, but the path she took gave me a hint, trying to escape on foot might have taken another turn but on a motorcycle, that's where she will arrive at”

“I see..”

"I’m leaving now, stay safe and hidden, I'll contact you at the usual point when it's done."

Then just when I was about to end the call, Mirabel spoke out fast all of a sudden.
