The Abused Luna's Comeback Novel - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: She’s My Client Too

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

I started going back to work at my company but I was often distracted so Patrick still took care of everything for me.

I looked for all the connections I could find, including reliable relationships with some of the other packs in my family. I approached some of the private detectives in human society, sending them pictures of Rose and Alonso, and announcing that there would be a huge reward for them if they could tell me where they were now. But time has disappointed me again and again.

I had turned desperate the moment I realized Annabel could create another version of me simply by disguising someone else with my smell and a few strands of my hair.

This meant that if Rose really wanted to escape me, then the witch Susanna could have done the same with her. So, unless she wanted to come back to me, I wouldn’t be able to find her. Pursuing my mate was going to be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Emily was still pushing me to schedule her Luna ritual and her big mouth had spread the word almost all over the pack, but I didn’t have time to bother about it. The worst was that she had been getting more and more desperate to have sex with me. I kept rejecting her with all sorts of reasons but her desperation had almost turned into her wolf a few times. This woman was crazy. She reminded me of Sarah who had drugged me in New Moon Pack. I couldn’t understand their brains at all.

Things were now at a standstill for me. I couldn’t find Rose and I had to put off dealing with Emily because I hadn’t found any convincing evidence yet. I wasn’t sure what the council would think based on the witch Annabel’s story. I couldn’t put Emily away either, because a testimony through torture wasn’t admissible in the council.

I was sitting in my pack’s office that day with my mind in a bit of a pickle as I thought over everything. I had to figure out a way to get Emily to confess to her crimes. But I couldn’t think of a better way out, so I decided to start all over again.

When I asked everyone to gather in my office, they quickly showed up. My parents, Patrick, his mate Diana, Jane, and Ad.

“I want you to meet someone. Of course, Pat and Ad have already met her,” said I.

“That weird blue-haired woman? The one who manipulated your car accident?” asked my Beta.

“Yes, she was the one who made it possible for me to communicate with you. This time, I need her to explain everything from her perspective.”

“Oh, be careful, everyone. Maybe she will appear directly on your backs.”

When I tore off a black card, Annabel appeared with her eye-catching blue hair in the middle of my office, not on someone’s back like Patrick had said.

“Alpha, the sadness in your eyes breaks my heart.”

“F*ck, this is all thanks to you. Stop your exaggeration. I need you to tell my ranked members everything that happened from your point of view.”

When Annabel told everyone what she had told me, I could tell that they weren’t that interested in listening. Perhaps it was because they were still very opposed to her.

“Alright, we understand now. D*mn it, why are there dark wizards in this world? What else would you do other than doing something completely heartless?” Jane crossed her arms in front of her chest. I knew that her personality would make her one of the least easy to bend. Thankfully, I had already told everyone not to touch a single hair on Annabel.

“Love, your temper is as hot as your body, but it won’t do you any good.” Annabel sized up Jane with a playful and contemptuous gaze.

“Don’t f*ck around with me,” said Jane in disgust.

“Enough, let’s get down to business. Annabel, let me make it clear to you once again. If there’s even half a lie in your words, I will do everything in my power to kill you.”

“I completely believe in your ability, Alpha. I promise you, everything I said is true, because I’m on your side now.”

“You had helped Emily deal with me. Do you know if she had other accomplices?”

“I swear on my name, I only did what she told me to do, which honestly wasn’t even that high on my list even though Alex had introduced her.”

“What deal did you make with Alex?”

“Oh, that was many years ago, Alpha. I also need to protect my client’s privacy. I don’t think my deal with him has anything to do with this matter.”

I ignored the slippery and dirty dark witch. “What I don’t understand is why Noah’s one-night stand would frame Rose and sacrifice her child to achieve it. What does she get out of it? She seems so unrelated to all of this.”

“God, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about that b*tch of an elf. I think Eve was just trying to get revenge on Luna because she thinks that everyone hates her. She was corrupted by her love for Noah to the point where she started hating any other woman around him,” said Jane.

“Yes, she’s an extreme woman. Who knows why my little brother would have a one-night stand with such a woman?” Patrick agreed.

“Elf? Eve? Eve Bordesor?”

When Annabel said this name, I was a little confused because I never knew the full name of the elf.

“How do you know her name?” I heard my Beta’s alert voice questioning Annabel.

“Oh, because she’s my client, too.”
