231 The Main Culprit
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
After the guards brought Emily and Eve each to the two sides of the dungeon, Patrick and his family took care of Eve while I took care of Emily.
I stood before her as she looked at me pitifully. I could feel Champion stirring within me, impatient to be let out so that he could tear this woman apart.
“Emily, I want to ask you some questions and I want you to answer truthfully. If you don’t, the guard will inject some silver nitrate in you.”
“Alpha! Don’t do this to me!”
“Question one, did you conspire with Sarah of New Moon Pack to tamper with the facial mask to kill Rose, only to kill a maid in the end?”
“No! I was drugged by Sarah. I have no idea what I was talking about in those videos!”
“Question two, did you know why Rose’s name was written on the floor of the maid’s room before the victim died?”
“I don’t know!”
I nodded to the guard beside me and he proceeded to insert a syringe filled with silver nitrate into her waist.
“Ah! D*mn it!” She started to scream in pain but she couldn’t do anything because her arm was hung up.
“Did you not remember what I had just said about not speaking truthfully?” She was panting as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Let’s try this again. Did you conspire with Sarah of New Moon Pack to tamper with the facial mask to kill Rose, only to kill a maid in the end?”
“Yes.”
“Why was Rose’s name written on the floor of her room before the maid died?”
“I wrote it with her finger, then hid in the room as I watched her die!”
“You found out that she had stolen the mask so you took the opportunity to frame Rose?”
“I hate that bItch! She stole you away from me!”
“Call her Luna or die!” I ordered in my Alpha tone. “Question three, did you, Alpha Alex of New Moon Pack, the dark witch Annabel, and the elf Eve conspire to do something stupid?”
“No! I was just the dark witch’s puppet!” She was still lying so I signaled the guard over again. Just when he was about to stab her with a syringe, she immediately changed her mind.
“Please don’t do this to me! Yes, yes! I told Alex about my plan which he agreed to because he wanted that b*tch- Luna to return to him.”
“So, you ruined my life.”
“Ruined your life? I just wanted to make your life better! Only I am qualified to be your Luna! All the other she-wolves, including Sarah, are trash!” It seemed that she was immune to pain, or maybe she was just crazy.
“You said you wanted a pure she-wolf to be your Luna so it could only be me! I gave you my first! But you weren’t even in my room the next morning. You didn’t even leave a note! Then, you started to turn cold and indifferent to me. How could you expect me to bear that kind of treatment?!”
“You were just a one-night stand. I had made it clear from the beginning that I was determined to look for and remain faithful to my mate!”
“Rose is not what she seems. Alex had f*cked her ruthlessly and she was flirting with all the male werewolves of New Moon Pack, trying to shove her butt into their faces!” The guard didn’t even wait for my order as he proceeded to stick the syringe into her. She screamed once more.
“Rose had maintained her purity until she met me.”
“No, she didn’t! Alex and Sarah said...”
“They lied to you, you stupid b*tch.” I berated her. “Alex rejected Rose as his mate on the morning of his coronation. That was exactly what she wanted. So she rejected him immediately too.”
“That’s not true! She’s the one who lied! She’s been lying to you! And that Mona! She’s a monster! She’ll destroy you and your pack! Only I’m willing to love you!”
“Emily, before you receive your final punishment, I will also tell you the truth.”
When I started speaking, her face gradually turned ashen. To her, this might be something worse than death.
