Chapter 608
Ron:
“But it doesn’t change the fact that she dropped the keys, and that is why my
Yuvonne is dead,” Lady Karla tried to explain when I confronted her for lying about Madeline not looking for the cure for Yuvonne.
That was something I could be upset with her over.
But then again, it was a mistake, not something she did deliberately.
What I had accused her of was deliberate.
“I cannot believe you would lie to me. I cannot even understand how a mother could lie even when her daughter is dead,” I scolded her, watching her lower her head and look guilty, even though I knew she was not.
I should have known that the moment something happened to Yuvonne, she would come for Madeline’s throat.
“Anyway, you should not come to the hospital for now. I’ll let you know when the funeral is ready,” I dismissed her with a hand gesture.
It was not that I would completely be okay with Madeline.
She did drop the keys outside, not caring for Yuvonne’s or anyone else’s safety.
But that was a stupid mistake I could be angry at, not something to accuse her of killing Yuvonne.
Right now, I wanted to save my friend.
Baxter needed me, and none of this made any sense.
I asked the doctor to bring me the warriors who had been guarding the door over the course of thirty days.
Even if I had to torture them, I would do it to get answers.
I returned to my mansion to grab some weapons and use the equipment to inform the entire pack to look for Baxter when I received a text message from one of the warriors, the ones responsible for handling the funeral.
There was some mumbo jumbo written there, almost like it did not make any sense.
So I called him, immediately realizing something was off.
“What is going on?” I asked instantly.
“Your Highness,” the warrior responded, breathless from the other side, which was already a bad sign.
“Wait, what is going on? Why are you breathless?” I asked him, my skin breaking out in goosebumps.
“Some people came here. They attacked the morgue with wolfsbane smoke bombs,” the warrior said.
The words sent a chill down my spine.
“What do you mean some people came there and attacked with wolfsbane smoke bombs? What was the purpose?” I asked, anxiously leaving everything and rushing towards the exit.
“They took Luna’s body with them,” the warrior said.
As those words were spoken, I immediately tripped and landed on my knees, my head down and my fists clenched.
My entire world shook around me.
All of this was happening when suddenly my other phone started to ring.
The number was not completely unknown, but not familiar enough to place.
With some research, I could probably trace it back to the person.
However, what truly stood out was their boldness.
Calling me directly from their own phone meant they had lost their minds.
The number belonged to one of the pack members. It was saved in my phone as pack member.
“Hello,” I answered.
“Your Highness, we are really sorry for this but your luna’s dead body is with us. If you want her body back, you will have to listen to our demands,” the man said in a cold and callous voice.
There was no respect, no hesitation, no concern in his tone.
It was clear he was willing to go to any lengths just to have his demands heard and fulfilled.
“How dare you? How dare you steal my wife’s body and then call me with this kind of nerve?” I almost lost my mind at the caller.
“Save yourself, because it’s all your fault, Alpha.” the caller grunted.
“How dare you choose a rogue like Madeline over us? We are not ashamed anymore. It would be
better if you just listen to our
demands and hand over Manet
instead of wasting your time questioning us.”
His words made my head spin. Anger rushed through my veins.
“I’m not handing over an innocent woman to you. And I will get my woman back, because know this, find you and I will kill you. So if you don’t want your bloodline to end.” began, but he hung up the call before I could finish.
Then I received a text message from the same person, a pack member.
Pack Member. Your threats don’t
bother us. We are watching our children in pain, and you are taking the side of that woman who was only allowed to stay in the pack if she helped us. So no, we are mot afraid of death anymore. And how many people Will you kill hung Wall you kill the entire pack? Because trust me, we are all on board. So hand over Madeline yourself, or we will go for her. So, you want Yuvonne’s body, or Madeline. The choice is in your hands. And trust me, you don’t have much time, because your beloved Yuvonne’s body is decomposing quickly.
I did not know how I was going to react to something like that. It was heartbreaking
and betraying at the same time.
