This lady lied effortlessly.
I blinked at my servants to take Alice away.
Daina glanced at me..
Alice shivered from head to toe and froze as Ausen appeared.
Ausen recognized Alice and ran over.
"Alice, you skank! Where's my child? "
Ausen kicked Alice so hard she fell down.
"Bruce, Ausen? Who's Alice? "Jeric inquired.
"Bruce is my kid. He's my mistress's child. I grew weary with her."
Ausen re-looked at Alice.
"Bruce...?"
Bruce was born soon after Alice fled from Jeric's life, suggesting she slept with Ausen while still Jeric's girlfriend.
Jeric's cuckolded.
We were anxious about Jeric.
"Alice, won't you tell me now?"Jeric smirked.
"True. I've known Ausen for years. I became pregnant while still Jeric's girlfriend. I left Jeric and followed Ausen to his pack out of greed, but I didn't expect to be abandoned. When I found out Jeric was the future Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, I came to visit him with Bruce to blackmail him. Are you pleased with my answer? "
Alice screamed frantically, almost hoarse. She cried wildly through her hands.
"After I got drunk, did we have sex?"Jeric whispered.
"I lied to get rid of Dason. Nothing occurred between us. Don't worry. You may be with Dason again! "
"I don't want to see this liar again. Mr. Stephan Buther, punish her whatever you want."
"I'll expel her from the Moonlight Pack. She can never return."
Jeric nodded, but Alice crawled to me and begged.
Bruce entered and took his mother's hand. The youngster wailed pitifully as they knelt before me.
"Please forgive us, Mr. Stephen Buther. If you toss us out of the Moonlight Pack, we'll have nowhere to go."
"Now you know that, but did you consider Dason's circumstances when you performed foul games to push her away? She may be homeless, right? If we can't locate Dason, I'll punish you "Daina muttered."Take them away, I said.
I told Ausen, "You may go now. Thanks for testifying."
Silence returned after Ausen departed.
"Jeric, I realize this is a great blow for you, but it's not your fault. Alice is a fantastic actor. You're the victim. What are you going to do next?"
Jeric asked Daina, "Can you handle the pack while I seek for Dason?"
Daina pauses then nods.
Alice's case was over, but everyone's burden grew.
Daina would struggle to run the pack.
I felt she could manage anything.
I anticipated her success.
POV: Daina
Before bed, my phone rang.
Tannu.
Dason departed Blue Ridge pack, she said.
When I received the news, I sat straight awake, afraid that finding Dason would be harder.
Stephan Buther: "Tell Jeric!"
Jeric was busy solving pack issues so he could seek for Dason.
We changed quickly and ran to Jeric's room.
I nodded to Stephan Buther, then knocked. Jeric opened the door thereafter.
His eyelids were black.
"Hello!"he asked.
Dason has left the Blue Ridge pack, Jeric.
"What?"
Jeric's pallid face become whiter.
Daina, I don't have time to properly pass over the pack's affairs to you. Please assemble the elders and conduct a meeting tomorrow to explain the issue."
Jeric was already in his room packing as he talked.
"We'll support you since you've decided. Call me if you need anything.
"Sobbed.
Jeric took just a few attendants since time was short.
I escorted him to the airport with Stephan Buther.
If Dason was thereshe must have left clues. I'm sure I'll discover something at the airport. Hopefully, he didn't travel far.
"I'll help the pack. Attention, please! Find Dason and call us."
"Tell me if you have problems."Jeric nods.
"Daina, I'm sorry. I'm a lousy uncle.'ve never taken care of you properly. And now, I'm asking you to Alpha the Moonlight Pack for me."
"Come back soon, or I'll never forgive you,"
Jeric nodded, then released me.
He strode snobbishly to the aircraft, staring back at us.
Next day, we prepared for the elders' meeting.
Jeric was meant to attend and pass over the pack's business, but he didn't, so I had to persuade them to let me handle it in his absence.
When I came, the elders were busy.
"Daina, that's Moonlight Pack's Alpha throne. Elders were confused when they saw me sitting down."
Teddy and Almond were calm.
I'd informed them about Jeric's condition previously.
They were the most likely to support me among the seniors there, so I made plans in advance.
Jeric departed the Moonlight Pack last night, and I have problems.
"What, Daina? You can't govern the Moonlight Pack as a she-wolf; only the future Alpha can do it."
I understood them and wasn't furious.
I couldn't let the Moonlight Pack flounder without my uncle.
I looked towards Almond to ask for aid.
"Who says she's incompetent? Daina is powerful and independent. she should take over the pack's affairs "
"Almond"
Teddy said, "You don't know Daina well enough. She's as competent as Jeric, if not more so. The Moonlight Pack will thrive under her leadership."
Daina discovered Teddy and helped him recover consciousness so Eden could be brought to justice. She's incredibly strong-willed. I believe she can head the Moonlight Pack.
"The Alpha of our pack has always been male. We've never had a female Alpha."
I stood up and shouted.
"Listen first."
Everyone became quiet when I stated it.
"Jeric has some personal affairs to deal with, which is why he left Moonlight Pack last night. I'm sorry we weren't able to inform you in advance. In the past, my father worked hard to rule the pack, but his position was usurped by Eden. In order to prevent a similar situation, I think the burden of leading the pack should fall on me. I know there has never been a she-wolf who intervened in the pack's affairs, but..."
Elders who opposed me agreed.
"What Daina stated made logical. I have no objections."
"Agreed."
Other elders concurred, and I finally relaxed.
Let's handle Moonlight Pack together.
"Thank you, elders."
I felt relieved after the encounter.
Stephan Buther's viewpoint:
I remained in our room while Daina attended the conference.
I got a note from a former attendant.
Reading his text made my heart race.
"Mr. Stephen Buther, we located a wizard called Rosry. He was seen near the Moonlight Pack.
Daina soon returned."
