Chapter 26: Chapter Twenty Six
My blood felt cold when I remembered that man. Was he really the man who was manipulating behind-the-scenes and murdering everyone Wouldn't that mean that he simply was doing this to seek revenge on Aiden for that day!
Countless possibilities flashed through my mind as tears poured down my eyes. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me.
I fell on my knees right there. I hadn't even realised that all this time I was going to attack my mother inside this house. Outside a group of people were gathered, utterly confused. Thankfully, when I had transformed back, none of them were present to see my naked and humiliated form. But I was too busy to notice that.
My complexion was pale as I trembled in fear.
I finally knew who was killing humans and dumping their dead bodies in the outskirts of Endoro pack. The person who wanted to seek revenge against Aiden was Alpha Sebastian!
At that time, a familiar voice seemed to wake me up from a daze. I looked up to see my husband standing at the doorway, glancing at me anxiously.
Aiden… My voice choked as I said his name. He quickly walked over and gathered me in his arms, caressing my head soothingly.
It's okay, I'm here.
No, no, no! It's not okay! That killer even manipulated my mom! I blabbered like crazy, so fast that it was hard to catch up to my words. But Aiden seemed to realize what I was talking about. He glanced down at me and frowned.
What're you talking about
That killer! I know who's trying to kill me!
Who! My husband's voice sounded alarmed.
Alpha Sebastian. I repeated the name that my mom had uttered a while ago. The words came out of my mouth almost all robotically, but I knew what it meant.
Aiden seemed to realize who this person was and he became furious. His arms tightened around me. So it's that bastard!
I weakly clung to his arms, and gripped his shoulders, not wanting to let go. It's human psychology. If you don't know the name of the person who's supposed to kill you, or even a proof of their existence, you wouldn't feel as fearful. But the moment you realize that this murderer could actually be real, fear starts seeping deep inside your bones, making it hard for you to even breath.
I was in the same condition. I hadn't thought that condition was so severe before today. Now that I know this person's name, and had even seen him once before, I started trembling out of fear.
That guy wanted to kill me!
Even thinking about it made me feel sweaty.
But Aiden was here to protect me. He carefully lifted me in his arms in the princess' style, and carried me outside the house, toward his car. Ethan was driving the car that time, and had a question mark over his head when he saw my condition.
But before he could open his mouth, I saw Aiden shaking his head. He quickly laid me down on the back seat, and asked me to sleep before sitting on the passenger seat. Then he explained everything that happened to Ethan.
The latter was shocked to hear that name. Sure enough, it was someone who had a blood feud against Aiden.
Alpha Sebastian had always been against Endoro pack, wanting rule it by hook or by crook. He had always hated my husband for a long time only because of jealousy. His own pack wasn't very big, and he wasn't exactly famous. So he wanted fame, and only gathering more area under his realm could he win against Aiden.
And now when Aiden had angered him even more by breaking his arms, he felt humiliated enough to even murder humans and place the blame on my husband's head.
This was the reason that Ethan came up with after listening to mine and Aiden's story. The car fell silent after everyone's views were displayed out in the open.
There must be a mole among us. Aident suddenly said. His voice was getting colder and colder.
Ethan nodded in agreement. He too believed that someone must be sharing secrets. Otherwise why would they know that I was staying at Owen's pack
Even thinking about it made me feel chills on my spine. I curled up further against the seat, hiding my small body.
When Aiden saw my reaction, his eyes softened, and he said comfortingly, We will catch the spy, no matter what. Don't worry. I'm not letting you go this time. He resolved in the last sentence.
His words did send me a trace of warmth in my heart, and calmed me down, but I was still too emotional to say anything. So I could only nod.
After reaching the pack, Aiden dragged me toward the meeting place that was situated in the central official building. He really wasn't ready to let me go after what had happened. More like, he wanted to stick close to me after losing our child so that no harm could come to me in the future.
I tightened my grip against his hands and paced behind him.
On his way, he called all his subordinates. Gather, quickly!
We reached the meeting hall soon and everyone instantly came with terrified faces. It was certain that they had rarely heard Aiden's voice as cold as in the call just now in the recent days. That tone reminded them of the days when he used to be single with extreme anger issues.
I didn't say anything but I sat down beside him silently. I swept a glance at the people sitting on the chairs around the big rectangular table and lowered my head. One of these people must be that spy Aiden was talking about!
I felt a drop of cold sweat on my forehead. If I hadn't confronted my mom, I wouldn't have known the name of the killer. And with this kind of spy handing over our information to the enemy, my terrible ending was inevitable.
Which one of you betrayed me Aiden's icy cold voice sounded in the meeting room, breaking the silence. You have 10 minutes to answer me.
Everyone's face paled instantly. They exchanged glances with each other, but couldn't utter a single word for another 5 minutes.
Now you all have successfully pissed me off. A cold smile formed on Aiden's lips, making everyone shiver. If you stay silent I am going to punish every single one of you.
Silence prevailed for a while, but I could see pale faces of everyone. Suddenly, before Aiden could open his mouth for the third time, a meek voice stuttered. I-Its John!
It took me a while before I could remember who John was—Claire's brother. My eyes widened when I remembered that. He was one of the regulars in the meeting hall. This guy had light brown hair, almost reddish, and would sit in this hall with an expression that screamed out his reluctance at attending such a boring meeting.
I had never seen him participating in any discussion whenever I had attended the meeting. Instead, I would see him sulking in the corner. It almost looked like this guy was ready to run off anytime as soon as the meeting ended!
But recently, John started to change. He would actively participate in the meeting, and sit with his back straight, staring at my husband. I had thought this guy was trying to change. But who would've thought…
I sighed.
The reason for his change was rather stupid!
Then, the meek voice continued. I heard him talking to someone about Luna staying at Boss's cousin's place.
Why didn't you tell me before Aiden's voice turned darker as he stared sharply at the person with a meek voice.
That man's limbs trembled under that intense gaze. I-I thought you had ordered him to do something about Luna, so I ignored…
At this time, Aiden was so angry that he could kill everyone on the spot! Veins bulged on his neck as took a few deep breaths to control himself. But clearly, it seemed as if he could lose control anytime, going berserk!
At that moment, I rested my hand against his, and gently squeezed, gaining his attention. He glanced at me, stunned.
It's okay. Let's find this guy.
Before he could say anything, my cell phone rang. I quickly picked it up. It was an unknown number. Who's this
Meet me at Chables Territory tomorrow in the evening with Aiden.
What I frowned. Somehow, my subconscious mind was reminding me about the identity of this person that made me feel a spasm of fear in my heart. I bit my lips and gripped the phone tighter.
Are you deaf The voice paused for a moment before letting out a dry chuckle. Oh right, what else could I expect from Alpha Aiden.
For some reason, this man's voice seemed familiar.
Who are you It wasn't like I didn't understand what he was saying. Rather, I didn't understand why he wanted me and Aiden to come there.
Who am I The other man snorted. You better ask the person who broke my arm.
My eyes widened at that. The bad feeling that had dwelled deep in my mind turned out to be true. It really was the enemy calling me directly!
