Chapter 34
Chapter 34
"Only your brain is blind, Richard. Think about it more carefully. Does all the evidence you've presented really make sense? You have to realize that Erica has never been close to anyone, so how could the Omegas help her commit a crime? Think about it again. Since when have the people here been willing to follow her orders? Even you, who plays the role of an Alpha, are ignored by all of them, so how could Erica control them all?"
Sky's answer really hit me hard because I just realized that it would be quite difficult for Erica to directly borrow the Omegas' hands to hurt Hazel.
“But couldn't she borrow her power as a Luna to suppress the omegas? Don't take her side too much, Sky. Hazel will be very hurt if she hears you thinking like this!” I continued to defend myself.
I really didn't know what else to say, but I still couldn't admit that I was to blame for all of this because I did it all just for my mate as atonement for the time we had been apart.
"You're so stupid, Richard. Erica isn't that kind of wolf. Think about it again. What was the reason the omegas were captured? They always said they just felt sorry for Erica, and the fact is, none of them really thought Erica belonged in a place like this. I even think Erica considers this place more cruel than hell, so how could the hell where she was tortured suddenly side with her? And don't keep avoiding the truth, your defense only makes you look like a very irresponsible Alpha, Richard! Accept the truth, and if you're not satisfied with what I'm saying, then you can investigate everything yourself.“
I was speechless, unable to say anything else.
”I know you love our mate very much, that's very natural, but don't you think there's something wrong with this place? Think about it carefully, Richard. Since Hazel has been here, she hasn't done her job as a Luna at all. She's just having fun, even when you ask her when she's ready to take on the responsibilities of a Luna, she always complains that she's tired." Sky kept talking, staring into my eyes so I couldn't look away from her.
I knew that Sky was very emotional at that moment because all this time, when Sky defended Erica, I decided to break the mind link, and maybe this was the time for Sky to tell me everything without me being able to cut her off again.
“Maybe she really is very tired, Sky. Remember that the duties of a Luna are also very heavy, and I am still able to handle this place alone. Let her have some fun first because in the end, she will still be our Luna, right?” Just as Sky expected, I defended Luna fiercely.
Sky sneered at my biased answer to Hazel.
"You're crazy, Richard. You think Hazel is too tired for something she really wants. Don't you remember that shortly before the coronation, she always said she wasn't fit to be Luna, just to pressure you into arbitrarily revoking Erica's Luna status that night? Think again, Richard. Has Erica ever complained like Hazel did? No, she hasn't, and you shouldn't always think that she's tired of this and that. This is what Hazel wants. If she wants a position, then she must be prepared to take responsibility!“
”But I'm still capable of doing everything, Sky! We are such strong Alphas that we don't need our mates to help us, so let Hazel have fun and at least she can rebuild her relationship with Eric. Mother and child need some time together," I continued to defend Hazel as best I could, even though I knew that since Erica was appointed, she had never complained. She always did her job very well.
In fact, I often didn't help her at all. Erica had been working alone all this time, and I knew that I might have been a little cruel to Erica, but it wasn't entirely my fault, was it? I never told her to do all that, so why should she have to do it?
"You're crazy, Richard, but if this is what you want, I won't force you anymore. Fine, I'll let you work yourself to death, let your Luna be a display, and also, do you see how Eric treats you now? Think again, when Erica was here, could Eric have been rude to you? You are a good father, aren't you? But why do you seem to have failed in raising your own son, Richard? Do you want your successor to be a very arrogant person?"
Sky really silenced me with all his sharp words that I couldn't avoid because Eric's attitude just now really hurt my heart as a father, even though I had always given my best to my only son.
"Think carefully about everything I said. This is a warning because if you ignore it, we will all die miserably because of your mistake. Not only that, you have to think that the meeting of the Alphas will take place soon. Prepare yourself and decide whether you will take Hazel there or not. Don't forget that Erica might be there, so if you want to embarrass yourself, take your wife and your son with you so she can ruin all the reputation you've built for yourself and for Eric. Educate him well, don't let the transfer of power you have come about through bloodshed!"
