Chapter 175: The Truth Behind the Genocide
[Alex’s P.O.V.]
“I was just ordered to investigate some possibly unjust cases that had happened in the past. Now, you said that Southern Wilderness Pack’s Alpha Austin had sent people to assassinate you. But the evidence you had provided does not seem sufficient – you had killed all of them and left that piece of land abandoned. Yet, you told me that your initial purpose was to expand your pack. Alpha, Roger, surely you realize the inconsistency as well. You cannot blame us for having a little suspicion and re-opening this case.”
“Are they old and muddle-headed? What other reason could there be?!” My father had already started to speak recklessly since he dared to insult the Council of Elders. He was growing out of control which wasn’t like him.
“Alpha Roger, is there a possibility that the reason you started the war with Southern Wilderness Pack was because of their Luna, Alpha Nancy?”
“Wait a second, why are you calling her an Alpha?” asked I in surprise.
“Didn’t your father tell you? Luna Nancy from Southern Wilderness Pack is also an Alpha. She was born into a family with two Alphas.”
I looked at my father with complete confusion. This was too shocking. Rose’s mother was also an Alpha?! Did that mean that Rose was a pure-bred and high-level Alpha? She could have been my mate but my father had allowed her to leave with that stupid pretty boy from Sunset Pack.
“If this is true, I can understand your father’s actions. Alpha Nancy is an excellent woman. She is beautiful, kind, and very capable. Many Alphas from many packs had hoped that Nancy will become their Luna. This was no secret, regardless of their destinies determined by the moon goddess. But she eventually chose to become the Luna of Southern Wilderness Pack because Alpha Austin was her destined mate. Plus, he was also a very good person. They were a blessed couple.”
“Get out of my pack!”
My father suddenly roared at the investigator. His eyes had turned black with anger. I didn’t know how or why the investigator’s words had made him so agitated.
“How could that b*stard Austin have Nancy? Nancy should have been mine! Only I was worthy of her! I even rejected my original mate because of her, but Nancy still chose that useless b*stard!”
“Father!” I shouted in surprise. Did he even know what he was talking about? If he rejected his mate because of Rose’s mother, then what would that make my mother?
“Alpha Roger, I’m glad that you can finally be honest with yourself,” said the investigator as he kept taking notes.
“Father! What the hell is going on? You had a crush on Luna Nancy from Southern Wilderness Pack but you married my mother?”
“Shut up, b*stard! I rejected my destined mate for Nancy, but she did not do the same for me! Instead, she chose a man who was ten thousand times worse than me! I have liked her since I was fifteen years old!”
My father was still immersed in his emotions as if he was talking to himself. This made me feel extremely embarrassed, but I had to figure something out.
“Then what happened between you and mom?”
“Your mother is not my mate! That was forced on me by your grandfather just so that I could succeed the pack!” I could not believe my ears.
“So, Alpha Roger, do you admit that it was because of your feelings for Alpha Nancy that you started a war against Southern Wilderness Pack and killed all of them?” The investigator was still asking questions and I just wanted to tear up the book in his hand.
“That b*stard doesn’t deserve Nancy! Nancy can only be mine! He was no match for me at all. It was too easy for me to kill him and reclaim Nancy from him. I could have formed a family with her and gotten rid of that wh*re Jessica and her d*mn son. But he hid Nancy! D*mn it, he would rather die than tell me where she was! No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find her!”
“Father, you challenged Austin because you wanted his Luna?”
“What do you mean his Luna? She had always been mine! You shouldn’t have been born, you burden!”
“Very well, Alpha Roger. Thank you for your honesty. Do you have anything to say about your long-term imprisonment and mistreatment of Southern Wilderness Pack’s Rose?”
“I have nothing to f*cking say! I just want to kill Austin’s little b*stard! Still, torturing her was quite satisfying – making her sleep where she kept her shoes, eat leftovers, and do only the heaviest and dirtiest jobs. Furthermore, she will always be an orphan. Her mother does not want her anymore. Nancy has never looked for her in all these years. This is the best gift for her.”
“Father! You already knew that Rose is the daughter of Austin and Nancy?”
“D*mn it, she has Nancy’s face and blonde hair. Austin thought that I would never be able to find her, but I did anyway and abused her for eight years.” My father sneered and my hair stood on their ends.
“Then why did you let her go?”
“Idiot, do you want that stupid Edward to kill me? Well, I never had expectations of you anyway. You were just a b*stard, literally.”
“Alright, Roger, all your confessions will be handed over to the Council of Elders. Now, this is my order to you. Before the elders come to a conclusion, you must stay in your race’s packroom and not go anywhere. If you dare to escape, your family and your pack will pay a heavy price for this.” Once the investigator had finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door of the meeting room.
My father was still immersed in his crazy emotions., still crying and laughing. I had no idea that this investigation had caused him so much shock. But I was also in as much, if not even more, shock than him that my eyes had turned black with anger. My fangs were ready to bite into something, or someone.
