Chapter 162

Dominic I reached for my phone and stared at the screen for a few seconds.I needed answers.I could not ignore Annabelle's return any longer.Too many strange things had been happening around me, and my instincts were telling me that her sudden return was not a coincidence.I dialed a number I rarely used.The call connected after a few rings."Yes, Alpha," a deep voice answered."I need you to investigate someone for me.""Who, Alpha?""Annabelle."There was a brief silence.I knew he understood exactly who I was talking about."I want everything," I continued. "I want to know where she has been since she left Ashwood. I want to know where she lived, who she associated with, who she communicated with, and who helped her return to the pack.""Understood, Alpha.""And find out where she has been staying since she returned.""Yes, Alpha.""Do not let her know that I am investigating her.""She will never know."I ended the call and placed my phone on the desk.I leaned back in my chai

Chapter 163

Dominic I got into my car and immediately ordered the driver to follow the investigator's location."Drive as fast as you can.""Yes, Alpha."The car sped away from the estate.I sat in the back seat, staring out of the window while my mind raced.The man who had helped Annabelle return to Ashwood was connected to the river incident.That could not be a coincidence.For years, I had believed that the truth about my first mate's death had disappeared with her.Now, someone connected to that night had suddenly resurfaced.I pulled out my phone and called the investigator again."Give me an update.""We are following him, Alpha.""Where is he?""He is heading toward the old eastern district." "Why would he go there?" My eyes narrowed."I do not know yet.""Keep your distance. I do not want him to realize he is being followed.""Understood."I ended the call.The old eastern district had been abandoned years ago.Most of the buildings there were empty, and very few people went there any

Scarlett I woke up very early in the morning.For some reason, I could not sleep peacefully.My mind kept returning to Dominic.He had told me the previous day that he would come to Moonlight Pack, but he never showed up. Instead, he called and told me that something had come up and he needed to handle it.He had not told me what it was.I knew Dominic well enough to understand that when he said he needed to handle something, it usually meant that it was serious.But what worried me was the way he had sounded on the phone.He had not sounded like himself.I had asked him what was wrong, but he had only promised to tell me everything later.I trusted him, but I could not stop worrying.That was why I decided to visit him before going to work.I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.After taking a quick shower, I returned to my room and dressed in a simple but elegant outfit. I wanted to look presentable, but I was not dressing up for anyone.I was going to see my husband.After

Scarlett I gently squeezed his hand. "Please. Just calm down."He took a deep breath. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then I turned toward Annabelle. "Sit down."She looked at me in surprise."Scarlett...""Sit."She slowly walked toward the table.I looked at the maids. "Bring her breakfast."The maids immediately obeyed. Annabelle sat down."Thank you," she whispered.I nodded."You said you came because you wanted to discuss something important. You can talk."Annabelle looked at Dominic.He was still standing, his expression cold. She lowered her gaze."I only wanted to see him."Dominic's voice was sharp. "You have seen me."Annabelle looked hurt. "I know." She turned toward me. "You are very kind, Scarlett."I said nothing.She smiled softly."Now I understand why Dominic chose you."I frowned. "What do you mean?"Annabelle looked at Dominic."We grew up together.""Annabelle." Dominic's expression immediately hardened.She ignored him. "We were very close when we were

Scarlett I still did not know whether Annabelle’s tears were genuine.I looked at her for a few seconds before turning my attention back to Dominic. There were too many questions running through my mind, but I knew that now was not the right time to demand answers.Dominic was still visibly angry, and I could feel the tension in his body even though he was trying to control himself.I gently squeezed his hand.“Dominic, I need to go to the office,” I said quietly. “I have an important meeting today.”He looked at me, and the anger in his eyes softened slightly.“You should have told me earlier,” he said. “I would have gone with you.”“I know, but you have enough things to deal with right now,” I replied. “I will be fine.”Dominic looked as if he wanted to argue, but he eventually nodded.“All right,” he said. “But call me when you get there.”“I will.”He leaned closer and kissed my forehead.“Be careful,” he said.“I will,” I replied with a small smile.I picked up my bag and left t

Killian I stood in front of Scarlett while she stared at me with pure rage.The look in her eyes made me uncomfortable. If looks could kill, I was certain Scarlett would have killed me already.I swallowed hard and let out a heavy sigh.“Are you not going to ask me to sit down?” I asked with a small smile, trying to ease the tension.Scarlett stared at me for several seconds before speaking.“I can see that you have the audacity to walk into my office without being invited,” she said coldly.I forced a smile and pulled out the chair in front of her.I sat down.Scarlett's expression immediately darkened.“Who asked you to sit down?” she demanded.I looked at her without saying anything.“By the way, who allowed you to enter my office in the first place?” she asked angrily.She turned toward the door."Eleanor!"A few seconds later, the door opened, and Elena walked inside.“Yes, Alpha Scarlett,” she said.“Did I ask you to allow Killian into my office?” Scarlett asked.“No, Alpha Sca

Killian The elevator doors opened, and I stepped inside.As the doors closed, I stared at my reflection.I had lost a lot. But I had not lost everything.I would find a way back.I would find a way to reclaim what belonged to me.By the time I reached my car, my anger had grown even stronger.I got inside, started the engine, and drove away from Moonlight Pharmaceuticals.The entire drive home, I kept thinking about Scarlett.I could not understand how everything had changed so quickly.One moment, she had been my wife.Now she was the Alpha of Moonlight Pack, while I was struggling to rebuild my life.I drove faster, my hands tightening around the steering wheel.When I finally reached the house, I slowed down.The moment I stepped out of the car, the loneliness of the place hit me.This was supposed to be my home. Yet everything about it felt empty.I walked toward the entrance and sighed.My situation had become even worse because Tiffany was no longer the woman I thought she woul

Chapter 269

Killian I stared at Tiffany for a moment, trying to understand exactly what she was suggesting.She had finally stopped looking at our situation as something we had to suffer through and started thinking about how we could take back what we had lost.“There is one more thing,” Tiffany said.“What is it?” I asked.“Luna Christine already offered to help you, did she not?”“She did.” I nodded.“Then you should accept her help,” Tiffany said. “She has already promised to give you money. Take it.”I leaned forward, listening carefully.“What are you planning to do with the l?”Tiffany lowered her voice.“You can use it to bring some rogues to your side. If you have enough of them causing problems around the pack, the elders will begin to question Bryan's ability to protect the people.”My eyes narrowed.She continued.“If the attacks and disturbances continue, the elders will eventually start asking themselves whether Bryan is capable of leading the pack. You can then use the money Chris

Chapter 270

Killian The next morning, I began approaching them one by one.The first elder I visited listened to everything I had to say before shaking his head.“I cannot support you,” he said. “The pack has already chosen its direction.”“You are making a mistake,” I replied.“I am sorry, Killian, but my decision is final.”I left his house disappointed but refused to give up.The second elder was no different.He listened to me but rejected my offer.“I cannot betray the pack simply because you want your position back,” he said.I clenched my jaw.“Think about it carefully.”“I already have.”I left.The third elder was different.When I placed an envelope in front of him, his expression changed.He looked at the envelope before looking at me.“What is this?”“You know exactly what it is.”He did not touch it immediately.“I cannot promise you anything.”“I am not asking for a promise today.”He finally picked up the envelope. “I will think about what you said,” he replied.I smiled.“That is

Chapter 271

Scarlett We moved through a quiet section of the palace before entering another building that was rarely used. Usher led me through several corridors until we reached a private room guarded by two men.The guards immediately bowed when they saw me.Usher opened the door.I stepped inside.Two men were tied to chairs in the middle of the room.They were wearing the uniforms of Luna Christine’s guards.The moment they saw me, fear filled their faces.One of them immediately lowered his head.“Alpha Scarlett, please forgive us.” The other man began shaking. “We are sorry, Alpha. Please do not kill us.”I stopped in front of them.“You both know what you have done, do you not?”“Yes,” one of them replied. “We know that what we did was wrong,” the other said quickly. “We made a terrible mistake, but please do not kill us.”“We have families,” the first guard pleaded. “We only followed orders. We did not think that anyone would die.”I stared at them.“You accepted money to help bring rogu
