I was taken aback by Enzo's sudden fury. I couldn't understand why he was so agitated."Calm down, Enzo. Listen to me-""How do you expect me to calm down?! You're being soft with someone who has hurt you all your life!""She's my cousin!""No, she's a murderer!" Enzo snapped. He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing calmly, "Anyway, just stay away from Melissa. She's a snake. There's nothing good about her! Have you really forgotten? If it weren't for me, she would have killed you! Do you want to repeat the same mistake?!""But I'm not the dumb girl I was back then now! And Melissa isn't the same little girl who hurt your parents!" I screamed, finally getting frustrated at Enzo's overprotectiveness.I could understand that he cared for me and was worried about me, but I didn't understand why he kept treating me like the dumb, mute little girl I was back then.I didn't want to live under someone else's protection all my life.Because of Enzo, I wanted to be indep
Gloria had one hand over her stomach and another hand clutching Michael's arm, a panicked look on her face."Alpha, I didn't slander her," she said weakly. "She really did bully me! Many people saw it!"Michael lapsed into silence. He didn’t criticize me as Gloria had wished.I raised an eyebrow as I kept my eyes on Gloria. "If by bullying you meant I stopped you from whipping Melissa to death, then I won't deny it."Gloria paled as Alpha Michael turned to look at her, the fear in her eyes becoming more apparent as time passed."I was only punishing Melissa a little," Gloria whispered in her own defense.After a long moment of silence, Alpha Michael finally spoke.I expected him to speak up for either Melissa or Gloria, but..."Return to your room. Andrea and I have to talk," he said indifferently, looking as calm as still waters.Gloria pouted, obviously disappointed with Alpha Michael’s attitude. However, she let out a soft breath of relief when she walked out of the room.I guessed
I was not surprised to find Enzo in the place where we first met. He was lying on his back, his arm resting on the trunk of a crooked tree with one leg stretched out.I made my way quietly to his side and bent down slightly.His eyes were closed, long eyelashes curled up, and the hair on his forehead ruffled when the wind blew.It felt like I wasn't in control of my body as I reached out to touch him.However, his hand shot up to catch my wrist before I could reach him."What are you doing?" He said in a deep voice as he slowly opened his eyes.My cheeks suddenly burned, and I tried to pull my hand back. However, Enzo wouldn't let me go. He yanked hard on my arm, and I fell forward against his chest.I could hear his steady and strong heartbeat in my ear, and my heart beat in time with his.We've done more intimate things than this, but I was still somehow flipped by his touch at this moment."I asked you what you were doing.""I just wanted to..." I trailed off, gripping his shirt as
People’s eyes impaled me like daggers and thrilled me."I-it wasn't me. I didn't push her!" I knew my defense sounded like an excuse, but it was the truth!Even though my mind was hazy just a moment ago, I was certain I hadn't touched anyone, much less pushed them."It was you! I saw it!" The maid by Gloria's side shot back. "Luna saw that you were feeling unwell just now and was trying to help you back to your room when you suddenly pushed her down the stairs! I saw it happen right in front of me!" "No...!" I looked at Enzo, who was frowning deeply with a thoughtful look in his eyes.It felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water all over me when I saw his expression, and I had a terrible guess.Would Enzo... also not believe me?Gloria lay on the floor, gasping for breath, her face twisted in pain."My stomach... it hurts...! It hurts! Help... Help me!"Alpha Michael immediately picked Gloria up and shouted, "Get a doctor, Now!" Then he shot a vicious glare at me as t
When I next stepped into the conference room, I wasn't the Cold Moon Pack's Luna anymore, but the murderer who had pushed Gloria down the stairs instead.Although none of them dared to do anything to me, I could feel the burning resentment in the eyes of all the warriors present!In their minds, I was the murderer who had killed their heir.However, my mind was clear, so I did not need to cower in fear. My only regret was that the unborn child had died.So, I straightened my back and prepared to face the interrogation that was about to happen.'Don't be afraid, Andrea," Enzo said through mindlink as he sat beside me. 'Even if this matter can't be cleared up, I won't let anything happen to you.'I shook my head discreetly at him, gesturing for him not to do anything rash.'I want a clean name, Enzo. I'm your Luna. I can't carry a stain on my name, or it will become a stain on our pack.'As I said that, I turned to Alpha Michael, who was enraged. From what I could remember, Alpha Michae
As it turned out, the liquid in the glass was indeed wine, and a certain amount of knockout drugs remained in it."How do you explain this?" Enzo asked with eyes cold.The scene was reversed once again, and the crowd was shocked."Oh my god, Melissa is lying!""I heard before that she's a vicious, cruel woman. It seems that it's true!"The hushed whispers of the crowd started up again, and yet..."Why should I need to explain anything?" Melissa suddenly sneered. She didn't panic at all, "I don't know how the drink in the glass became wine. The glass is in your hands, so you can say whatever you want about it naturally.""So you're saying we planned all this to frame you?" Lilla hissed, shaking with anger."I didn't say that," Melissa replied, then she looked at me pretending to be innocent, "Andrea, I would like to believe you didn't push Luna. It may be a misunderstanding, but..."Before continuing, she trailed off, choking up, "You can't unjustly accuse me just because you can't giv
"What do you plan to do? We don't have any evidence..." I said hesitantly.Enzo looked at me and raised his eyebrows slightly. "As long as a person is alive and can talk, there’s no shortage of evidence.""What do you mean?"Enzo was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Gloria's maid.""Huh? So, you want to get her to confess the truth?""Yes," Enzo said and nodded calmly."You may not be able to pry anything from her," I said with a frown. "Judging by Melissa's and Gloria's behavior today, there's a good chance they're plotting this together.""It's not that hard," Enzo said with an easy smile. "Everyone has a weakness. She won't be an exception."After speaking, he took out his phone and sent a text message. I couldn't help but ask, "Who did you contact?""Take a guess," Enzo said, winking at me."Someone that you know? I said, then added, "And a male?"Enzo laughed. "Are you jealous?"I glared at him. "You're reading too much into this.""It's my secret informant in Blue River
"Shit!" Alpha Michael cursed.He immediately ordered his men to chase after the man, but I knew the odds were against it.Even though it was just a quick glance, I recognized that man. It was Max. His ability to escape has always been superb, so I doubt Alpha Michael's men would be able to catch him.I glanced at Lilla beside me; sure enough, she was frozen in shock.When they got Gloria's cold body down from the tree, they found a suicide note in her pocket. It read:My dearest Alpha Michael, I'm sorry for betraying you. The child in my body was not yours, but my mate's. I lied that Luna Andrea pushed me down the stairs to cover up the truth, and I planned this all on my own to cover the truth. I thought I could keep lying, but my mate told me he was marrying another woman, and regretted everything I've done when I heard that. So, I chose to die to get rid of all my sins in one go. I'm sorry, and I pray for your happiness.GloriaHowever, the suicide note apparently wasn't enough to
