Lahat ng Kabanata ng Stand-In Luna: The Alpha's Real Mate: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

I looked up, my eyes drifting past Nick to fall on Rina, who stood behind him.So… last night, Nick really had been with Rina.A faint sting pricked at my chest—a strange, subtle kind of pain.I looked away, my expression turning cold and mocking. “What? Were you hoping something had happened to me?”Nick was briefly stunned.“That’s not what I meant,” he said, unusually patient in his explanation.I lowered my gaze and said nothing more to him.Nick’s voice turned cool again. “What’s the situation now?”“We just finished recording her statement,” the female officer quickly replied.Nick followed up, “So my future mate is free to go now, right?”The station chief and the officer both froze for a moment.Then the chief quickly nodded. “Yes, of course. Don’t worry, Mr. Johnson—we’ll get to the bo

The next day, I returned to the police station and went with the same two officers to Moonlight Lake, where I walked them through everything in detail.They took careful notes, not daring to slack off.After all, Nick had personally ordered them to uncover the truth and clear my name.By the time I returned to Brown Pack, it was nearly noon.Just as I stepped out of the car and headed toward the front gates, a group of people suddenly rushed out and surrounded me aggressively.“What do you want?” I asked, immediately alert.I didn’t recognize any of them, but it was obvious they came for me.Daylight robbery? Seriously?“You murderer, Wendy!”A middle-aged woman with graying hair grabbed my collar and shouted, “Everyone look! This is the killer!”I frowned and shoved her away. “Who the hell are you?”“You don’t know me? You killed my daughter

I had just returned to my seat when I received a call from the officer.“Officer, is something wrong?” I answered politely.On the other end, the officer’s voice sounded slightly stern. “Mary’s awake.”I let out a soft chuckle. “Is that so?”“She woke up, and we immediately questioned her. She insisted—it was you who pushed her into the lake.”“Oh.” My brow twitched slightly, but my tone remained calm.I wasn’t surprised at all. Mary waking up and pointing her finger at me? Completely expected.I risked my life to save her, and now she’s turning around and biting the hand that saved her? Ha. A disgrace among the Moon Goddess’s children.The officer continued, “So during this period, Miss Smith, we ask that you remain in Los Angeles and cooperate with the investigation. We will uncover the truth.”I nodded. “U

I raised my phone again. “In Brown Pack’s underground garage, there are surveillance cameras. This morning I obtained that footage.”I hit play on a second video.There, clearly visible: Mary in the underground garage, screaming insults at me, then producing a Swiss Army knife and lunging straight at me.“Wendy, die!” she yelled, brandishing the blade inches from my throat.The footage ended. I looked up at the gathered press. “Everyone saw it. Mary tried to stab me that night in the garage! She meant to kill me. And if you recall, at Moon Lake she did the same—tried to push me in.”Across every livestream, the chat exploded:“Mary’s the psycho here!”“Major plot flip!”“This drama is epic. Keep it coming!”“Dane is my hero!”“Wendy for President!”Mary’s face went through every shade of p

Just as we stepped out of the elevator, Nick’s phone rang.It was a call from the Brown Pack’s former Alpha, Benny.“Benny, what is it?” Nick answered with a calm expression.“I haven’t seen you or Wendy in days. When will you come visit me at the manor?” Johnson’s voice came through the receiver, warm and affectionate.Nick gave a small nod. “I’ll come by when I get a chance.”“Don’t wait for a chance—come tonight. I’ve already had the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes.”Before Nick could reply, Johnson had already hung up.Nick shook his head, a little helplessly.“What’s up?” I asked curiously. He hadn’t turned on the speaker, so I didn’t hear clearly.Nick turned his head slightly, lips curving faintly. “Benny wants us to come to the manor for dinner tonight.”“Oh, I see.” I smiled faintly. With both William and Johnson calling us today, it felt like something was brewing.“I’ll come pick you up afte
