Chapter 158: News from Beta
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
I left the pack early in the morning and headed to the airport with one carry-on bag. It was small, containing only a few necessities like a change of clothes and a mobile phone charger, as well as the image of our child left by my wife.
When the plane landed, going through immigration was easy. I simply needed to show my passport and I was good to go. After all, many Southeast Asian countries and cities I knew needed people from other countries to come and spend to stimulate their tourism and boost their economy.
I rented an SUV from the airport and drove to the address given in the email. I hadn’t been to Phuket in years, and the last time I had been there was when I was a teenager when I followed my parents on a vacation.
The airport wasn’t far from where I needed to go, but I was so eager to get to it that the drive felt like forever. I wanted to know who had sent me the email and if the person I longed for would be there.
Just as I was speeding forward, my cell phone rang. I took a quick glance and saw that it was Patrick. I rejected his call. I didn’t have time to chat with him right now. I would inform him when I was done with my matters.
But immediately after, his call came again. This time, I picked it up. He might have something important to tell me or he wouldn’t have kept calling.
“Alpha, did you arrive safely?”
“I’m driving over now. It leads to a beachside apartment. I’ll keep you updated.”
“May the moon goddess bless you. Actually, I need a few minutes of your time. I’ve uploaded two videos to the ranked members’ shared cloud. It’s about Emily. I think you should take a look at it now. Something has come to light.”
I pulled the car over to the side of the road, logged into the cloud using my phone, and saw the two videos.

[Eve’s P.O.V.]
When Noah picked another fight with me, I couldn’t take it anymore. I started spending less time at home. It didn’t feel like my home anymore.
Ever since my miscarriage, Noah’s attitude towards me had changed drastically. Before this, he would still sometimes lie on my stomach and listen to the baby’s movements. But now, he never got close to or even touched me. This was not what I was promised by that woman.
I decided to go to the woman’s house to look for her.
“Why are you here again?” When I entered the living room, Emily looked at me with disdain.
“I should be the one asking you this. Why aren’t you Luna yet? None of these were what you told me would happen.” I stared at her, my anger about to erupt.
“This is the largest werewolf pack in America! Give me some time!”
“I’ve already given you enough time. I suffered my miscarriage and blamed it Rose, all because of you!”
“She’s a b*tch! She deserves to be treated like this!” Emily yelled at me in exasperation. Ugh, she had no idea what my life was like now.
“I sacrificed my unborn child to the dark witch. I almost died drinking that abortion drug! I know I don’t like children but when I handed her my dead child to her to be made into some specimen of her, all I could think about was the promise you made to me, you b*tch. You said that all I had to do was frame Rose and have Alpha expel her from the pack so that you could immediately become Luna! Then, you would order Noah to marry me as his wife, whether he wanted to or not. But what the hell are you now? Still a lowly Omega!”
“Shut up! You d*mn elf! I already said that I need time. Alpha has already agreed to marry me and make me his Luna. This is inevitable. So all you need to do now is to go home and wait.”
“Emily, I’ll give you another month. If you haven’t become Luna of the race, I’ll expose everything!”
“Do you think that you’ll end up better than me? You killed the child you had with Noah with your own hands. There’s no evidence to prove that I was involved in this. Think about how Noah’s family will treat you once they found out.”
She sneered at me as I trembled with anger. Why did I trust this b*tch so easily? Now, my child was probably preserved in a glass bottle filled with formalin and made into a specimen by that ugly dark witch. I had lost my only bargaining chip just to become Noah’s wife and a member of the Beta family. I had nothing left.
