“A-Alpha Matthew?” Julie Duke froze when she saw Alpha Matthew dragging Lorraine.Alpha Matthew pushed Lorraine to the ground. Everyone was fixated on seeing Alpha Matthew’s aggressive treatment.“Please explain to them what crime you have committed,” Alpha Matthew commanded Lorraine.Lorraine lowered her head and said, “I took Lauryn’s cell phone from her locker and spread out her cell phone number.”“Where are you spreading Lauryn’s number?” Alpha Matthew asked Lorraine.“I don’t know where I’ve spread it, Alpha Matthew. I passed Lauryn’s number to a junkie,” Lorraine said.Alpha Matthew smirked. He tried to punish Lorraine in the presence of everyone.Jeno prevents Alpha Matthew’s treatment without saying much.“Why do you insist on punishing her over a trivial matter?” Jeno asked Alpha Matthew.“Trivial matter? You should know that it violates a person’s right to privacy.” I saw Alpha Matthew’s uncontrollable emotions and I swatted away Julie Duke’s hand.“You shouldn’t behave lik
“How do you know if I don’t have a wolf?” I replied to him.“It was very predictable. Your parents were very worried when the day the sign was given. They tried to cover up something very secretive,” Alpha Matthew said.I was silent, but Alpha Matthew came over to me.“If Alpha Hughes thinks you are his family, he won’t drive you away just a trivial matter, Lauryn. He will try to help you out of your troubles,” he mumbled.“Why do you ask me like that? Are you planning something?” I asked.“No, I didn’t.”“These few years Alpha Hughes has been different. However, I don’t think it’s a big deal. He is still my uncle,” I said.Alpha Matthew was silent and nodded. He took me around the lake with a canoe. He drove me home when it was 8 p.m.“Why are you getting home now? I’m so worried about you, Lauryn.” Dad was nagging when I just walked into the house.“Alpha Matthew asked me to go somewhere else, Dad.”Mark looked surprised. “He takes you away to that magnificent place again?”“Not. He
“It’s like a threat from someone,” Mark muttered.“Who’s the bastard who tried to threaten our family?” Dad was swaying.“I don’t know either, Dad. The message was so mysterious and threatening,” Mark replied.I looked at the paper and sighed. I thought it was Lorraine and her friends.“I know who did this. I’ll discuss this with Alpha Matthew tomorrow.”Mom turned around. “Do you know who threw this in the window?”“I know who it did, only I’m not so sure because they have multiple alibis.”“Are you sure, Lauryn?” Mom asked again.I nodded, then went back to my room. I took out my phone and texted Jamien.Me: Did you tell me to go to the lab tomorrow? Without waiting for him to retaliate,Jamien: Alpha Matthew sent you with Mark. We’ll plant new seeds that are fresher. Me: Whoa! I didn’t think he’d be this desperate. By the way, did you hear the noise? Jamien: Well... I heard it. What’s going on, girl? Did you forget to lock the door and a cat came in and stole your food? Me: How
“How do you know if I want to talk about it?” I asked Alpha Matthew.“It's not too hard to guess, Mate. I have thousands of surveillance cameras in every packhouse alley.” Alpha Matthew rolled his eyes.“But do you know who did it?” I asked.Alpha Matthew whispered. “That's not Lorraine. I gave an order for Lorraine's parents to lock Lorraine up a week later. She's so mischievous and should get good guidance from her parents.”“If it's not Lorraine then who is it? I have no problem with anyone but Lorraine and Julie Duke,” I muttered.Alpha Matthew was silent, he sighed then said, “Go inside. I need help tidying up my messy bookshe
I shook my head. “Many people died in vain after Alpha Hughes led the High Crown Walkers. I don’t know why that happened, but everyone says that there is a betrayer on our side,” Alpha Matthew averted his eyes. “I wonder if that’s why you always make me say everything bad about Alpha Hughes?” I asked tentatively. “I did. I have a gut instinct that he’s the cause of all the chaos,” Alpha Matthew replied. “But how did you know that Alpha Hughes was the cause of the chaos? I’m sure you were a toddler when it happened.” Alpha Matthew looked at me with an intense gaze. “I witnessed thousands of werewolves dying everywhere. They were killed by something mysterious.”
I was taken aback by my dad’s reaction. I had never seen him so angry before and I didn’t understand why he was so upset. I left the house, feeling hurt and confused, and went to Alpha Matthew’s house to find some peace.When I arrived, Alpha Matthew could see that something was wrong. I told him what had happened and broke down in tears, crying for the first time in front of someone else. Alpha Matthew comforted me and listened as I told him about the argument with My dad.Alpha Matthew comforted me, reminding me that it wasn’t my fault for asking about the substance that had poisoned his parents. He encouraged me to focus on finding out the truth and making things right, rather than dwelling on the argument with her father.I took Alpha Matthew’s words to heart and dried her tears. Sh
“The scienstist from Alabama Paw’s really hates Alpha Hughes. Two years ago, when he tried to administer a special potion, Alpha Hughes insulted him in front of everyone. I don’t want you to get into trouble because of your stupid uncle's behaviour,” Alpha Matthew asserted.I pouted my lips. “Fine, I’ll say that I never knew Alpha Hughes.”“Good,” Alpha Matthew said, “It’s best to keep your distance from any potential conflict. We’re here to gather information, not cause any trouble.”As we approached the scientist’s lab, I felt the nerveous starting to kick in. I had never met the scientist before and wasn’t sure what to expect. But with Alpha Matthew by my side, I felt confident that everything would be okay.
“I’m saying that Alpha Hughes knew the risks and he didn’t care,” Alpha Matthew replied. “He wanted the power and the prestige that came with being the Alpha, and he was willing to do anything to get it, even if it meant endangering the lives of innocent people.”“That can’t be true,” Hannah protested. “Alpha Hughes was always so dedicated to the pack. He wouldn’t have done something like this. I repeatedly read history books and they were fine with Alpha Hughes.”“I’m sorry, Hannah, but it’s true,” Alpha Matthew said firmly. “The scientist from the Alabama Paw’s Pack confirmed it. Alpha Hughes deliberately used the Nightshade in his research, and he covered it up when things started to go wrong. Alpha Hughes tried to slander Beta Hugo indirectly.” There was a long silence in the room as everyone absorbed what Alpha Matthew had just said.“I had no idea,” Dad said finally, his voice barely above a whisper. “I had no idea that he was capable of something like this.”“I know, Hugo,” Al
