Chapter 608 Unnamed
Just then the anchor called for silence. It took him not less than five minutes to restore absolute peace to the rowdy place.
"After a tough battle that would definitely go down in the history of our pack, Miss Joanna single-handedly defeated her opponent and became the winner of today's contest," The anchor announced without beating around the bush.
He was afraid he would be dragged off the stage and beaten to a pulp if he did anything contrary to formally announcing the winner of the fight.
"According to the rules of the contest. From now on Miss Joanna is our Alpha, the first ever female Alpha since the creation of our pack…" The loud cheers and applause that followed him forced him to pause his speech.
"As our legitimate Alpha, no one has the right to question him or undermine her authority. From this moment onwards, she rules the pack and everything and everyone in it," He concluded and another round of chaotic cheers and applause filled the air.
The paled Joanna collapsed as soon as she was pronounced the new Alpha of the Golden Core Pack. It was as if she had been waiting for this moment to reach.
"Anna, are you alright?" Audrey picked up Joanna from the floor and shook her repeatedly but she got no response.
"Let's take her home," Jocelyn suggested and quickly signalled Carl to carry Joanna.
"Don't worry, I have got this," Audrey offered to be the one to do it.
Maybe if this was when Joanna and Kayden didn't get married she would have had a problem with Carl getting close to her best friend.
Because the identity of Joanna's husband was special she was afraid trouble might arise if words get out.
"Let's go," Audrey announced and immediately took the path leading to the pack house which wasn't so far away from the Pack square.
After they got to the pack house, Joanna was immediately attended to by one of the best doctors at the Pack.
Joanna's injuries were so severe to the point that almost all parts of her body were bandaged. The only part of her body she didn't sustain injuries on was her face.
Jocelyn and Audrey had thought that Joanna would wake up the next day but alas that wasn't the case. Joanna only regained consciousness five days later and within those given days she was in bed three assassination attempts were made on her life.
On the fifty night Audrey, who had been staying by Joanna's side during the time she was unconscious, sprang to her feet the moment Joanna let out a low groan.
"Anna, are you alright? Do you need something, perhaps water or food?" Audrey asked worriedly. She assisted Joanna to sit up with her head resting against the headboard.
Joanna scrutinized her environment as soon as her vision got a lot better. She didn't need to look for too long to notice that the room she occupied wasn't the same room she shared with Audrey.
"Where am I and what happened to me?" Joanna said with her voice she had turned coarse due to the result that she had been unconscious for a few days.
"From the moment you were declared as the winner of the contest at the Pack Square, your identity was never the same anymore. As the new Alpha Jocelyn relocated your things to the room befitted for someone of your title," Audrey explained. She turned and sat on the bed's edge after making sure that Joanna was comfortable.
"You and I know that I didn't partake in the battle because I covet the title of the Alpha neither do I want to be treated or seen as one. How come you didn't tell her that she didn't have to do any of these things?" Joanna reprimanded sternly.
"Of course, she is aware of your good intentions. However, many eyes were watching and lots of ears listening so had to make such arrangements. It hasn't been long since she succeeded in securing her brother's position with your help, I am sure you don't want her to be criticized for treating the new Alpha poorly, right?" Audrey countered Joanna's point. She was careful enough not to agitate Joanna since she barely regained consciousness moments ago.
"How is Jocelyn? Was she and Carl able to stabilize the situation in the Pack after my victory?" Joanna asked out of sheer concern.
"Also, about the green-eyed guy I fought with last. He didn't seem ordinary, did you guys ensure to investigate him?" Joanna demanded fiercely.
Seeing her so serious as she tried to know the status of things in the pack during her absence made Audrey doubt if this was the same girl she had grown up with.
Audrey believed that the first thing Joanna would demand for the moment she woke up was food. She ever expected that the situation of the pack would be the topic on her mind.
"Why are you just staring? Say something," Joanna urged as she waved her right hand at the face of the lady whose mind was obviously not with her.
"Jocelyn is fine physically but she is mentally exhausted since she had to take over your duties during the period you were ill. I think dealing with the elders of the Pack who had been demanding to see you had been the toughest for her," Audrey replied seriously just to match Joann's sternness.
"About the green-eyed guy, Rachel and I went to his home to investigate his identity since he seemed suspicious from the beginning. But unfortunately, when we reached his home, we discovered that he was killed…"
"He is dead?" Joanna blurted with widened eyes.
"Although I emerged as the winner at the end, the green-eyed guy wasn't bad higher. Even in his injured state, I am certain he could still effortlessly defend himself so how come he was murdered?" Joanna voiced out while in deep thought.
"Actually, his death wasn't the only one. During the past five days, a total of seven people got murdered in cold blood. Rumours that people from Twipera Kingdom were responsible for the sudden deaths had circulated the entire pack," Audrey confessed with her head bowed in silence.
