The truth
“Why do you think an urgent meeting was called?” Whispers and murmurs filled the halls. The people were desperate to know why the Alpha had called an urgent meeting that also involved the weak wolves.
Madeline, who sat down on a chair in front of the people, was also wondering why he had called a meeting. “Maybe he has finally sat down to think about the pack’s future.” She thought. She hoped Alex would bring her a good news
Sophie, on the other hand, stood in between Madeline and Maya. She had been trying to call the man she sent to kill Belinda all morning, but the number wasn’t going through. Her mind was not at rest because she knew that something might have happened. “But if Alex already finds out, there’s no way he could just call a meeting, right?” She was so worried. She wanted to leave, but she didn’t want Madeline and her daughter to start suspecting her.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Alex walked in. Immediately, the whole room became quiet. He stood in front of the people, and looked at them. “I called you all here to fulfill your wishes.” Alex said, looking at his mother.
“Bring her in.” As soon as he said those words, Belinda was dragged into the room by two men. Callum also followed them, but he stood behind Alex.
The people in the room were confused about what was going on, but only one person knew what was going on. She was already shivering and sweating in fear.
“As you already know, I have a human mate that no one wants to accept. And she was carrying my pup until it was killed.” Alex said with no emotion. Gasps and whispers filled the room. The people suspected that the girl kneeling on the ground must have killed the Alpha’s pup. None of them could say a word.
Madeline also did not say anything. She was happy that the human girl had lost the child. “It looks like the moon goddess is on our side.” She whispered to herself.
“But she’s not working alone.” He said, looking at his mother intently before taking his gaze back to the people. “I’m not here to tell you a story, but to make some things clear to you.”
“Why don’t you start by telling these people here who sent you to kill my pup?” He said to the girl, who was still crying on the cold ground.
Belinda looked up slowly. Even though she had not been touched, she looked so weak. The eye bags on her face due to all the crying made her look like she had been starved for days.
She pointed her hand towards Madeline’s side and said, “She… She’s the one. Sophie gave me the poison.” She cried.
All eyes went to Sophie immediately. Even Madeline stood up from her seat. “What is this nonsense?! How dare you accuse Luna!” Madeline screamed.
“How dare you accuse me? ! Do I know you?!” Sophie also screamed at the girl. Alex did not say anything; he just watched them scream, until his mother said.
“Someone should get this mad girl out of here!” She said, but no one could move an inch. The anger on Alex’s face was enough to scare them.
Instead, Sophie walked towards the girl to drag her out. As soon as she touched her, she felt something splashed on her. She looked at her hands and saw her skin changing.
The people gasped in shock. The elders, especially Gabriel, was more shocked. The woman they all wanted to be was Luna. Her skin had changed to a wrinkled one, and her hair was also disarranged. Her red, bloodied eyes were something that also shocked people.
A black witch! Madeline could not say anything. Her mouth was left wide open; even Maya could not believe her eyes. They all knew that a black witch could never be seen among werewolves because they’ve been locked in the black forest for years. But seeing the girl they all thought would be the next Luna revealed as a black witch was shocking.
The people all moved backwards to avoid getting attacked by the witch. “How did a black witch escape from the black forest?!” Gabriel asked. They knew that it wasn’t possible for a witch to come out of the forest without someone powerful tampering with it from outside the forest.
Alex was also surprised. He was not expecting her to be a black witch.
Sophie, now known as Alicia, tried casting a spell to escape but realized that none of her spells were working. Instead, she was feeling weak. “What did you do to me?!” She screamed and moved forward to attack Alex, but before her hand could touch him, She fell to the ground.
“Why don’t you start confessing who you are to everyone here?” Callum said, but the witch suddenly burst into laughter.
“For so many years. I tricked you all. You, wolves, are fools. You don’t even know someone who belongs to you.” She said, laughing hysterically.
“That girl. Sophie, or whatever she’s called. What a fool! She thought she could just be born and wished for good things.” She said, still laughing. “It only took a small stone, and she’s gone.” She explained everything to them, still laughing. How she killed the real Sophie and how she cast a spell on herself to disguise herself as Sophie.
Maya, who was still shocked, remembered that she had seen her eyeball change to red before, but she did not think much about it. “How could she kill an innocent life because of her crazy obsession?” She thought.
Madeline was so embarrassed; she looked at the girl on the ground and walked slowly to her. She could not even touch her because of her ugly skin. “How dare you deceive us! Throw this witch out of here right now!” She said, raising her voice, but Alex stopped her.
“Do you think I’ll let her go after killing my child?” He asked. “Bring them outside.” He said this before walking out of the room.
He stood in front of the Supreme. The girls were brought in front of him. The other wolves had also come outside to see what the Alpha would do to her.
“The most painful way to kill a witch is to burn it alive.” Alex said before pouring a liquid on Alicia’s head.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“What are you doing?! Just kill me!” Alicia screamed. She knew that she wouldn’t die easily, and the fire would just keep hurting her until she finally died.
The wolves were not expecting the alpha to burn her. “No witch has ever been burned.” They were only sent to the black forest whenever they did something unforgiving.
Before any of them could try to stop him, Alex had lit the matches and set the witch on fire.
Ha! Ha! Stop this! She screamed in pain, but no one came towards her. Not only was her power taken from her, she was also burned to death. That was the worst punishment a witch could get.
Alex turned to the girl, who was still kneeling on the ground. “Throw her into the dungeon without food and water, and feed her dead body to the birds after she dies.” He said to the men behind him. They also took her and dragged her away.
She screamed and begged, but no one looked towards her side.
Alex looked behind him and saw the wolves, who were still shocked about what had happened. “Now, let me see anyone who wants to go against whoever I choose as my Luna.” He said sternly, looking at his mother, before walking out of the house.
He intentionally punished Sophie in front of everyone because he wanted his mother to know that he wouldn’t reject his mate, no matter what she did.
