All Chapters of My Enemy, My Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

****EMMELINE'S POV****The manor was rowdy, with people moving up and down in a frenzy. I didn’t know exactly what was going on, but Elara mentioned someone had been murdered.I’d gone to Cedric’s room twice to find out what was happening, but he was never there.For the past two days, my mind had been consumed with thoughts of how to prove my father’s innocence. He’d kept me away from all his experiments, so I had little to no knowledge of his work schedule or projects.Cedric had asked me to think of someone from the Blood Moon pack who might be a suspect. The only person that came to mind was Luna Maya—but I doubted she could do something like that.What would she even gain? And she didn’t seem like someone affiliated with the Council… unless there were multiple people behind the experiments.I made a mental note to mention my suspicions to Cedric.As I walked downstairs into the unusually quiet hallway, I halted when I saw Ava with Cedric. They were deep in conversation, speaking

*****EMMELINE'S POV*****The pack was in disarray when I returned. Confused, I walked over to Grace, who was speaking with the guards."What's happening?" I asked, noticing the guards following a trail through the bushes."Where have you been, Emmeline?" Grace asked, instructing the guards to leave us."Somewhere," I muttered nonchalantly. I couldn't possibly tell her I went to see Lord Anthony. She would tell Cedric—and from what I've heard, Cedric doesn't like Lord Anthony.She scoffed, ignoring my insolent reply. "We were attacked by Ava. Lord Cedric is at the clinic."I froze at her words. What does she mean Cedric is in the clinic? He's one of the strongest Alphas I know.Why would Ava attack him? I saw them talking earlier today like friends… So what's with the sudden hostility?Without thinking twice, I ran to the pack infirmary. Grace called after me, but I didn’t respond.When I arrived, the physicians directed me to his bed. It struck me how the pack's hostility toward me ha

*****EMMELINE'S POV******* The news of the Council leader’s death spread like wildfire. It was shocking enough that he had been murdered, but by his own daughter? Rumors swirled. Some claimed Ava was his illegitimate child, mistreated and scorned her entire life. But no one could confirm anything. The only person who could—Ava—had escaped before her execution. “So… what happens now?” I asked Elara as she finished brushing my hair. She shrugged. “I really don’t know.” Elara had become my only source of information. Since Cedric had tightened the security around the pack, I wasn’t allowed to leave—not that I had anywhere to go. “I heard a new Council leader has been elected,” she added, gathering the combs and pins from the table. “But I didn’t catch his name.” I yawned, though I had barely done anything today. Fatigue clung to me constantly. “Are you sure you’re alright?” Elara asked, her voice tinged with concern. I nodded quickly. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust her, it was ju

*******CEDRIC POV*******I placed my hands on the cold, cemented floor, clutching my chest in pain. The lingering scent of wolfsbane still hung thick in the air, making me weak and nauseous.It looked like I was in some kind of dungeon—damp, dark, and disgusting. The stench of feces and urine clung to every inch of the space.Memories from yesterday came crashing back—Lord Devlin’s accusations, the chaos, and… my arrest.How did Devlin know about my wolf form? I had been so careful. I told no one except Grace, Marci, and Colima.Unless…No. One of them couldn’t have betrayed me. They wouldn’t.But Mario’s warning echoed in my mind—“The spy is within your pack… closer than you think.”No… it can’t be.I couldn’t stop thinking about Emmeline and the rest of the pack. Had the Council attacked them? Was Emmeline safe?What does she think of me now? I groaned and forced my upper body up, leaning against the filthy wall for support.The iron door creaked open, but I couldn’t make out the f

*****CEDRIC POV******It’s been two days since my arrival in Zanzi. The people here have been quite hospitable—unlike the stories we were told.I wouldn’t be surprised if the Council made up those tales to keep us trapped in Elton, forcing us to endure their vicious oppression.Ava had returned to Elton immediately after making sure I arrived safely in Zanzi, so there were no answers to satisfy my burning curiosity.“Here,” Mario offered me a piece of roasted beef.I turned it down—I didn’t really have an appetite.“When will Ava return?” I asked, watching him stuff food into his mouth.He shrugged. “I don’t know. She needs to bring back more supplies.”I frowned, raising a questioning brow. “Supplies?”“The tribal chief ensures everything runs in an orderly fashion. Everyone is responsible for themselves, unless they’re handicapped. So Ava has to bring supplies for the three of us while I stay here to protect you,” Mario explained.I could only sigh. It was a strange rule, but if it
