The Abused Luna’s Comeback - Chapter 134 - Who Was That Person?

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

“Brother, just listen to me. Don’t say anything.”

That was what I said the moment Patrick picked up my call.

“Alpha?” He sounded quite shocked.

“Don’t say anything. Just listen to me. I am with Emily and she told me that she was my fiancée. I think I must have lost my memory after the accident. I don’t know how I was saved, but that’s the gist of what had happened as far as I know.”

I could hear the other party’s breathing increase rapidly but he remained silent.

“I’m not near the pack right now, but I’ll be back with Emily soon. She doesn’t know that I’ve regained my memory which is most likely from Rose cutting me off, releasing a burst of energy that must have triggered something within me.”

I had been able to remain calm and quiet as I spoke so far. But when I uttered the last few words, I could feel my heart and voice tremble. Champion spun around inside me in anger, digging at the ground as he felt the same pain I did.

The thought of my mate still loving me when she cut me off on her own accord caused something akin to the feeling of my mind and body exploding within me. I could feel my impatient desire to rush out of the room and puncture Emily in the throat with my fangs for having the audacity to put me under house arrest and lie to me, claiming she was my fiancée.

Thanks to her, I had no idea what was happening in the pack and why Rose decided to cut me off. But I had a pretty good hunch that something bad must have happened to her, something so bad and hurtful that she had no choice but to give up the pack and me. I didn’t know who the main culprit was behind all this, but I knew that it wasn’t a pack member.

Once I was back in the pack, I would do everything in my power, even if it cost me my life, to investigate. I would find Rose and tell her how much I loved and missed her. I would go down on my knees and beg for her forgiveness.

I decided to start investigating now, based on what I knew – everything that had happened so far would not have been possible without the car accident, and Emily was definitely involved.

I had also heard Emily talking to another woman but she was nowhere to be found the moment I opened my eyes. So, I still didn’t know who the other person was. If I wanted to proceed with my investigation, I would have to continue pretending as an amnesiac and gather as much evidence as possible.

……

“Pass on the message to the other ranked members to play along and not let the cat out of the bag until I’ve gotten things under control.”

I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the living room and quickly hung up, not forgetting to delete my call history.

[Patrick’s P.O.V.]

When I picked up the unfamiliar call, the words I heard spoken by the voice from the other side shocked me.

There was something somewhere deep down within me that made me want to believe that the voice earlier belonged to Alpha. However, he should be with us in the castle right now. So, why would he make such a call?

The call felt a little creepy.

So far, no one had been able to determine anything wrong with Alpha, not even Alonso or Susanna, the powerful Werewolf of Chaos and witch. But no one had been able to figure out a way to bring Alpha back to normal either.

The call earlier did not sound like a prank. Still, if the person who called was the real Alpha, then who was the person with us in the castle who even smelled like Alpha?

I didn’t tell the other pack members immediately. Instead, I asked Dylan to send me the entry and exit logs of the pack from the border gates. I hadn’t seen Emily for a long time. She used to wander around the castle but she hadn’t been here once since Alpha’s accident.

When I was presented with the logs, I checked them and noticed that Emily had been making frequent visits to her community beyond our borders. The frequency of her visits seemed to have increased after the accident. Her short trips would last for a few hours while the longer ones would span more than a day.

I quickly stopped thinking. Trying to figure things out now only made me more confused. I decided that since I wasn’t 100% sure that the call was real, all I could do was wait for the person to call me back. I didn’t even bother to call back, despite the number of questions I had for that person.
