Chapter 136: I’m Here to Help
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
Emily made me some simple meals and I wasn’t worried that she would poison them because I knew that she had always wanted to be Luna, and the only person who could make that dream come true for her was me. If she wanted me dead, she could have just gotten it done and over with the car accident.
I should thank her for not killing me but she might regret it because I couldn’t wait to return her the ‘favor’ she had done to me, Rose, and the pack tenfold or even a hundredfold. She might not be the only one involved, but she was not innocent either. I bided my time and continued pretending I was still an amnesiac and that I thought of her as my fiancée.
“Honey, when are we going back to the pack?” asked I to her.
“There’s still a small issue that needs to be dealt with at the pack before we can return. Once it’s been solved, we can return immediately.”
“What’s wrong?” asked I.
“Someone impersonated you in the pack. But don’t worry, Babe, I was able to see through him and we’ll be dealing with him soon.”
“Who has the guts to do that?”
“I don’t know him. He might just be a rogue, but don’t worry. He’ll be dealt with tonight.”
“My fiancée, you are so wise.” I flattered her.
“Anything for you, my love. Once you return to the pack, everything will return to what it should be. You can continue to lead the pack as the greatest Alpha.”
“Whatever you say, my love.”
I continued to eat with my head lowered. If she had to mention ‘return to what it should’, the pack must have changed drastically. This b*tch and her accomplice were simply too daring.
I was a little surprised to hear her say that someone was impersonating me in my pack but what surprised me more was that the ranked members had let the person continue doing what he wanted. And if Emily said that he would be taken care of tonight, what did she mean? Was she going to kill him off?
I finished my food and climbed back into bed. She followed me over, wanting to have sex with me again. God, why did I have a one-night stand with such a horny whore? Maybe I was too blinded.
“Honey, I have a headache. When we get back to the pack, we’ll have the best sex in my big bed. I’d just really like to nap right now.”
She obliged and closed the bedroom door behind her as she left. Unlike before, she was willing to listen to me. And unlike before, I had to do everything in my power to hold myself back from tearing out her heart and throat.
I took out my phone but instead of making a phone call – I was afraid she or someone else would eavesdrop from the other side of the door or the walls – I quickly typed and sent a text message to Patrick.
‘The imposter is in danger tonight.’
I couldn’t go into more detail because I didn’t get any more useful information. I simply hoped that Patrick would realize what I meant in time.
If Emily’s plan to get rid of that person worked out without a hitch, we would soon be back in the pack. I sat down by the bed and began to plan what I would do once I was back.
Suddenly, the door to my bedroom opened again. I didn’t even hear the sound of footsteps outside as a woman casually walked in. She wasn’t tall, had a hooked nose, and had long blue hair.
“Who are you?”
“Alpha, relax. I’m here to help you.”
“How do you know I’m an Alpha?”
“Not only do I know that you’re the Alpha of Sunset Pack, but I also know that your mate’s name is Rose. Or should I now call her your ex-mate?”
I was absolutely livid by the way she talked about Rose as I stood up from the bed. Obviously, she was an insider, so I didn’t plan to make things difficult for her for the time being. I just quickly closed the door to my room.
“Emily isn’t here anymore. We have a little time to talk.”
“Tell me who you are first.” I looked at her coldly.
“I’m a dark witch. Annabel is my name. I used dark magic to create your car accident and make you lose your memory. I also created your imposter and planted him in your pack. But you’ve obviously recovered your memory – I heard you make that phone call from upstairs. Now that was something I did not expect at all, maybe not this quickly. Was it your mate’s incredible power that helped you regain your memory?”
“What the fuck? You caused my car accident?” I couldn’t believe what I heard.
“That’s right, Alpha.”
“You made Rose end it with me because of this?!” I only felt blood gushing up to my head. The culprit swaggered in front of me and told me the truth without a trace of apology.
I rushed over and grabbed her neck with both hands as I pushed her against the wall and lifted her off the ground. But she didn’t resist.
“Why are you doing this?!” I felt my eyes turn black from anger as I tried my best to control Champion’s desire to transform. He already wanted to tear this b*tch apart.
“Because of Emily…that stupid woman Emily came to me and she pledged her soul to me as payment. Alpha, put me down. I will tell you everything. And I am here to help…help you,” said she with difficulty. Her face had turned purplish red, but she still did not resist.
I threw her to the ground and she hissed in pain. If she didn’t provide me with real, valid information in the next few minutes, I would kill her right away, even if it meant tearing apart the pretense that I had regained my memory.
