The Abused Luna's Comeback-Chapter 144 - Alonso’s Concealment

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

As Patrick and I walked through the main hall of the castle on our way to Clyde’s place, we ran into Emily. I thought she had already gone home.

“What are you guys up to?” asked she warily.

“Nothing, Darling. Beta came to find me because he wanted to go for a walk with me. His human mate had been quarreling with him, you see. Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here? This is also going to be my castle.”

“Listen, I already had a Luna before, which I wish you told me before. It’s that ominous evil person, right? And it seemed that she had just up and left like that. Still, I can’t help but wonder, if I already had a Luna, why would I have a fiancee at the same time?”

“Alpha, it’s because we were so in love with each other but that b*tch bewitched you and your family to force you to marry her. But trust me, I am your one and only fiancee. Didn’t you say so yourself?”

Emily wasn’t the best liar or storyteller, but I had to keep up my pretenses.

“Oh yes, that makes sense. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have risked your life to save me.”

“Alpha, it was Emily who saved you?” asked Patrick.

“Yes, Beta, she is a great woman.” I was glad Patrick was willing to play along.

“God, Emily, my opinion of you has changed greatly,” said Patrick to her, which made her smug arrogantly. I sighed in my heart. Her EQ and IQ were definitely not great.

“Emily, I can’t marry you right away to make you my Luna. What will my family and friends think of you if I did? What will the people of the pack think of you? They may even think that you planned all of this to covet the position of Luna and that I’m an irresponsible Alpha who abandoned the pack to marry someone else. That’s not good for either of us. But don’t worry, I know what to do. Now, I just need you to go home and sleep. I’ll see you in my dreams.”

She thought a little about what I said and started to leave. But she hadn’t even taken three steps when she spun around and kissed me on the lips. Satisfied, she finally left.

“Don’t you want to throw up when she kisses you?” asked Patrick as we walked to the garage.

“I don’t just want to throw up. I want to kill her right here and now. But it’s not the time for that yet, unfortunately.”

We drove to Clyde’s house as quickly as we could but quickly realized that no one was home. Then, we immediately heard his voice behind us.

“Alpha, Beta, it’s late. Are we going to another bar?”

I turned around and there Clyde was, standing in front of us.

At my request, we entered his house. He had kept everything in good order. It seemed that he was very used to his life in Sunset Pack.

“Clyde, where did Alonso take Rose?” I decided to cut to the chase once we were inside.

“I don’t know. I’ve already broken off my master-disciple relationship with him.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

“Why?”

“The reason is very simple. He wanted me to leave with them and continue to protect Luna, but everything here is very comfortable for me now. I’m tired of living in the pugilistic world. I don’t want to stay in the dark forever as Alonso’s shadow. Alpha, please understand.”

“I can’t believe you chose to run away! You’re also a Werewolf of Chaos!”

“There’s nothing to believe, Alpha. Just because I’m a Werewolf of Chaos doesn’t mean that I don’t yearn for a peaceful and normal life. Perhaps I’ll meet my mate here, marry her, and have a bunch of children together. I was born as an independent person and I don’t want to make protecting anyone my mission in life.”

I wanted to reprimand him but I quickly realized that I didn’t have the right to do so.

“Even if you broke off your master-disciple relationship, you should know where he took her!”

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I don’t. I tried calling him, but his phone has been turned off. Also, don’t act all sanctimonious in front of me. Emily has been bragging about being the new Luna for some time. She must have gotten your approval. After all, you said the same thing in the castle just now.”

“You followed me?”

“I just happened to pass by and overheard it. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on you. But since our previous Luna has left, the pack race really needs a new Luna. I can understand that. We’re both men.” He continued speaking as if this was all simply facts.

“I just need to keep up the pretenses with her. I have to find the real culprit behind my car accident and everything that happened! I need to find evidence!”

“Maybe, but this has nothing to do with me.”

“Rose and I have always treated you well. I didn’t expect you to have such an attitude.”

“He is her direct ancestor. He is the origin of all Werewolves of Chaos. What else do you have to worry about?”

“Say that again?!”

When Patrick and I finally learned that Alonso was the Werewolf of Chaos that killed Cain as the first Werewolf of Chaos in the world, I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak. I just felt a huge pressure on my head as my brain buzzed.

If what Clyde said was true, Alonso was not the underage, thin, and seemingly harmless-looking boy with strange eyes.

He had told us at the beach that a Werewolf of Chaos had killed Cain, the vampire ancestor, thus causing the neverending feud between the two races. But he had never revealed who had killed Cain because he was the one who had done it, hunted by vampires for years.

He had lied to all of us and Rose. But now he had taken her away. I remembered that Rose had told me that she couldn’t read Alonso’s thoughts, probably because he had set up a barrier against her.

Although he was her ancestor, she was my lover with my child and I couldn’t trust her anywhere in the world unless I was there, too. I didn’t know what else he was hiding from us. But I did know that whatever it was, he had a higher purpose. And my mate was in danger.
