Chapter 176

Writer's POV

Emily, seeing everything was turning, began making fireballs with her hand, then proceeded to throw them at Alisha. Though she did it openly, none of them accepted it; Darien, Alisha, and Daniel saw it.

Immediately she threw the fire, it ceased on the way; no matter how hard she tried, it still didn't work. Alisha, who was already anticipating the blow, quickly opened her eyes only to see that it was Daniel who was holding it with his eyes.

They were shocked but still composed.

"This old lady here has been the one doing everything that's gone wrong in this pack. Why aren't you all worried about how she still manages to look young even after so many years? Don't you find it suspicious? She looked exactly like this before she died, and look at her today; nothing has changed. Do you think it's because she doesn't age like every other old person in this pack, or is there more to it?"

"Don't just keep beating around the bush; tell us what you are trying to say."

"The truth is, she practices black magic. I and that dumb lady over there are victims of her dark magic. At one point, she charmed me and made me do so many evil things. She even made me kill Alisha's son; if only Darien had not been there, then the boy would have been long dead."

"You are only accusing me; if there's anyone here who uses black magic, then it should be Alisha. She should be blamed for everything she thinks she did. She's been the one practicing black magic, but the alpha just won't let the world know about it. Sandra found out about it and decided to help the pack get rid of the evil Luna. What did I do wrong?"

The pack members were already getting pissed and confused; the old man had already instigated the crowning of Henry. As much as they wanted to object, Darien wasn't doing anything to help the situation; he just stood by and looked like whatever was happening was none of his business.



Wren stood up to leave as ordered by Darien when suddenly Wren rushed out to meet him.

"Wren, wait up!" he snapped.

"Why should I wait?" he asked and continued walking toward his car.

Jace almost ran after him when Clara suddenly blocked his path.

"Where do you think you're going? Can't you see he's busy with something?" Clara snapped at him.

"What could be more important than me? I need to talk to him!" He tried getting past her, but she blocked him again.

"What's up with you? Can't you just stop all this nonsense? You can see the alpha needs him now; whatever you have to tell him should wait. He was at home with you all this while! If you need to talk to him, you should wait. Serving the alpha isn't just something he should do; it's something he must do! Don't get in the way of his duty! He's bearing enough guilt already hiding the fact that you killed Mr. Alex's wife. If you continue acting this way, then I might just go straight to him and tell him what you did. I'm not your brother; I can never shoulder your wrongdoings!"

"What do you mean? How did you know?" he stuttered, not being able to deny the obvious.

"Don't ask me how I knew; we all have eyes. Keeping quiet doesn't mean we don't know what happened! We saw how you killed her. You're shocked, right? Don't be!"

"How come you knew about it?"

"We didn't just hear; we saw it!"



"Babe, he's left! I just saw him jump down the balcony. Let's quickly follow him," Clare rushed into the room to tell Wren.

It was late at night, and Jace just left the normal way he used to.

"Do you think it's necessary for us to follow him? We can't just leave the kids alone and follow him."

"The kids are asleep, so all we should do is lock the door and then follow him. If we don't follow him, then there's no way we're going to know what he's up to. Let's quickly follow him!" She dragged him out of bed.

They followed him toward the lonely part, making sure he didn't suspect a thing.

They watched as he took a turn, and they also followed him. It was after some time that Wren noticed something. It was the same way they followed the day they went to bring Alisha for the alpha five years ago.

Soon he stopped in front of the suspected building, just as Wren suspected.

He knocked on the door, and the woman, whom they recognized as Mr. Alex's wife, came to the door. Immediately she opened, he pushed her in then went in as well. Luckily for them, he forgot to lock the door.

"Long time no see, Monica. You have changed a whole lot; guess you've forgotten about me."

"What are you doing here? Go back to wherever you are coming from!"

"Too bold of you to have thought you would go scot-free after stealing from me. I told you I would come for you! You thought I was joking, right?"

"I wasn't the one who stole the money; I told you that night, it was my twin sister. We just happened to be identical. I never worked in the brutal; stop accusing me!" she half-yelled.

"Are you saying I don't know what I'm saying? It was you!"

"It wasn't me!" The lady stood up and entered the room, after which she returned with a picture containing two identical kids.

"This is our picture; it was my sister, the one who worked in the brutal!"

"Where is she?"

"She's dead; she died years back from an STD. Please leave; I wasn't the one!"

"What makes you think I will leave? Since I can't kill her, then killing you should be worth it; she made my life this way!"

"Please don't kill me," she pleaded.

"If I don't kill you, then I won't be satisfied. I have spent my whole life dreaming of this day, and now that it has come, I'm never letting you go."

"Why are you being so mean? Why can't you just understand the simple fact that the one who stole from you already has her karma? If you hadn't gone to the brutal, then how would she have stolen from you? You are no good either!"

"Can you just repeat what you just said? Your sister ruined my life, and you still dare to blame me! You don't deserve to be forgiven!"

"Same way you don't! You think I don't know how you've been killing in the name of revenge? You fucking killed a lot of people; you slaughtered the entire brutal, so why pretend like you are the victim? You are no good either! If you hadn't gone there, your life would have still been the same! You are just someone who's cursed; you are only killing to justify your guilt! Do you think raising an army will help you win the alpha? Hell no! When it comes to Darien, it's more like chasing wind because you will never succeed!"

"Wow! Indeed, you know too much as expected; you even know about my secret army, so give me one reason why I should let you live."

"You think I care? You want me to beg you to let me leave? Impossible! You are just a bloodsucker who kills to justify your stupidity! Go on, kill me like you killed my sister, then you told them to say she died of an STD! You knew well enough that I wasn't her, but you still came to kill me, so what makes you think I will beg?"

"Well, I'm not killing you, but watch your back! I will come for you!" He handed the picture to her.

She stood up and turned to leave, but then he grabbed her neck and began choking her. He choked her until she slumped and died.

Clara almost shouted, but Wren covered her mouth, preventing her from screaming.

They both watched as he hung her from the ceiling to make it look like she committed suicide, then he left.

End of flashback.



Wren walked into the hospital hurriedly; Darien had earlier told him to go and tell his dad what was happening. Fortunately enough for them, Henry and his mom had no idea what was going on.

He had almost entered the room when Jace caught up with him.

"Wren, I've been calling you for the past few minutes. I know you could hear my voice; you just chose to ignore me."

"What do you expect me to do? Tell me why I should stand by and listen to you?"

"I have something important to tell you!”
