Gritting my teeth, I followed Stephan Buther into the dining hall.
It was time to avenge my family.
Eden greeted Stephan Buther as we entered the dining hall.
“Mr. Stephen Buther, I’m sorry about last time,”He bowed t.
“Let’s forget the past. May I bring some friends tonight?”Stephan Buther pardoned Eden so we may attend the feast.
Eden’s countenance dropped when he spotted me, but he recovered.
” they’re welcome.”The elderly guy gnashed his teeth as he talked.
Stephan Buther escorted us in.
All Moonlight Pack elders attended.
Eden apologized to Stephan Buther as we were seated.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Stephan Buther, for the previous banquet. I was a lousy host and let an accident happen. I’m sorry if it worried you. Please forgive me.”As he said, he appeared honest, as though he felt sorry about last time.
I would have been duped by his performance if I didn’t know him.
“Last time was out of your control,”Stephan Buther remarked.
Eden appeared comforted by Buther’s remarks.
We knew he was sneaky and unreliable.
His attention then shifted to Jeric.
“Hey, Mr. Stephen Buther, that man seems familiar. Who is he?”
After he finished speaking, everyone at the dinner glanced at my uncle. This scene made me queasy.
Stephan Buther grasped my hand and told me not to worry.
Stephan Buther’s viewpoint:
Everyone was looking at Jeric when Eden questioned his identification.
Jeric is my buddy and personal assistant. I decided to introduce him.
Edenr’s cheeks paled at the name.
He nearly fell off his chair from fear.
I feigned worry and said, “What’s wrong?”
He stuttered, “I-l had a buddy called Jeric.”I was saddened by his death.
“What a coincidence!” I smiled.
I told Jeric, “In honor of his old buddy, offer a toast to Alpha Eden, who has controlled Moonlight Pack for more than 10 years and has the werewolves’ support.”
I watched Eden’s expression while praising him. He looked glum, as expected.
“Thanks, Stephan Buther.”
Eden frowned. You don’t deserve my appreciation or Jeric’s toast.
Jeric clinked his glass with Eden’s.
Eder almost dropped his drink while talking.
“Okay, Jeric, go sit down.”
I observed Eden as Jeric sat down. His face showed fear.
“Today’s good,”
“It’s my 10th anniversary as Alpha of the Moonlight Pack.”
Eden stopped panicking and smiled.
“Thanks, Mr. Buther.”
The present came in an elegant black box. Eden’s eyes were flaming with need, and he showed no fear.
Box lid off.
He fell when he saw what was within.
“Mr. Stephen Buther, what does this mean? I ”
“True? I believe you’re guilty, Ede, based on your behavior “Snarled.
“This calligraphy?”
Eden shook his head.
“I don’t know, Mr. Stephen Buther.”
He attempted to mask his terror, but nobody was fooled. Everyone saw through his sham.
I opened the present box and displayed the calligraphy.
“How did Alpha Daniell’s thing remian with Mr. Stephan Buther? Odd! “Teddy was disguised.
Everyone watched Teddy.
Teddy’s perspective:
everyone’s eyes shift, including Eden’s.
Finally, I could make him pay for his actions.
I stood in the center of the dining hall, removed my hat, and lifted my head.
“OMG! Elder Ted! He seemed lifeless. What’s up? ”
Almond and another elder, Philip, screamed as I removed my headgear.
“Elder Teddy was the most intriguing elder of the Moonlight Pack. He was the only elder in our pack that could foretell the future. I assumed he was dead. Why is he here? ”
He’s afraid.
He needed to make amends. I stepped forward and yelled.
“I’m not dead. I’ve been in hiding. Eden has been attempting to murder me for years. I’m here to reveal his crimes. He’s a hypocrite beast.”
Stephan Buther’s calligraphy.
“Eden abducted my family and paid me with that treasure. He urged me to fabricate a bogus prophesy that Daina was a jinx. When I yielded, he murdered Alpha Daniell under the pretence of eradicating the jinx.”
“Traitor and thief! He’s a miserable scoundrel who doesn’t deserve to be Alpha of the Moonlight Pack. ”
POV: Eden
Teddy’s allegation rattled me
Teddy, who had vanished without a trace, returned to the Moonlight Pack with the calligraphy I’d used to bribe him years before.
An awful sensation in my gut told me I may be facing a catastrophe.
If they were well-prepared, I could merely calm down and deny everything.
“What’s up, Teddy? How might I bribe you? Why would I send my troops to murder you when I’ve never been your enemy? Laughable! ”
“Eden, you’re the most shameless werewolf ever.”Teddy cursed and pulled up his sleeves to display his scars.
“Why am I scarred if you didn’t hunt me? I’ve been fleeing for my life for years. I’ve come close to dying countless times. These scars are proof of your crime. ”
“What does this antique prove ? How did I get such a valuable present from the late Alpha Daniell? You paid me with calligraphy and forced me to accuse Daina of being a jinx so you could murder Daniell and become Alpha. “Teddy raised his calligraphy indignantly.
To my surprise, several elders agreed with him.
“Teddy’s correct. Alpha Daniell gave Eden this calligraphy.”
“What else can you say, Eden? We won’t trust you unless you disprove Teddy’s claims. ”
Almond spoke out first, inciting the elders. Their demeanor was arrogant and hostile, as if they wanted to corner me.
I murdered Daniell by myself years ago.
My body was drenched in his blood as he exhaled his last breath and looked at me.
“Teddy lied. No, I didn’t murder Daniell. No! ”
I shouted while covering my head to relieve a searing headache.
POV: Daina
Finally, Eden fell.
“Eden, you say you didn’t bribe Elder Teddy and that you didn’t murder my father. Let’s pretend that’s true. Will Moonlight Pack make him Alpha? You just became Alpha to ensure pack stability, right? If you were faithful to Alpha Daniell, you’d swear allegiance to his brother.”
Holding Jeric’s hand, I challenged Eden.
If Alpha Daniel’s brother returns to the Moonlight Pack, would you give up the Alpha position to him? You were only compelled to take up the post to ensure pack stability, right? If you were really devoted to Alpha Daniell, you would vow devotion to his son.
“Daina, if Daniell’s brother was alive, I’d pass up my position to him. I’d always be loyal to Daniell. Unfortunately, he died a long time ago. I feel terrible for him, but there’s nothing I can do. It’s the truth,”
I pulled Jeric’s sunglasses off to expose his face.
