Chapter 84
“If she had finished writing, I think the word would have read ‘ROSE’.”
I was surprised by what I just heard, especially because I just couldn’t figure out how I could be involved in all of this.
“Was she already dead when you guys arrived?”
“Yes, Dr. Baldwin had gone with me as well. He examined the body and initially speculated that she had died of poisoning, but he still needs to confirm the cause of death so he’s taken some samples from her body.”
“Poisoning? Oh God, I need to go take a look.”
“Luna, I’ve already asked someone to protect the scene. No one can enter or leave. You should probably rest in your room.”
What? Someone from my pack died, probably from poisoning, had written what looked like my name on the floor, and this guy was telling me to just sit still?
“Ad, I’m the Luna of this pack! Don’t I have the right to go to the scene?”
“Luna, many have been to and probably still are at the scene after the incident. I suggest you stay out of the limelight.”
“So you don’t want me to go because you think I’m a suspect?”
“That is not the reason I’m telling you this, and I definitely do not suspect you!” Just when neither of us could convince the other, I suddenly felt like I was being pulled into a dark space and heard something or someone calling me. ‘Who’s there?’
‘Luna? You can talk to me.’

‘Who are you?’
‘Luna, I’m Ad’s wolf, Barnes.’
Oh gosh, the moon goddess has revealed another ability of mine!
‘Barnes, is there something you want to say to
me?’
‘Luna, please understand Ad. He just doesn’t want anything to go wrong. I would suggest waiting for Alpha to return.’
‘Alright.’ I sighed, maybe Ad was just following Edward’s orders. If Edward was here, he most likely wouldn’t have allowed me to go to the scene either.
“Luna?” I heard Ad calling me and I snapped back to the brightly lit bedroom I was still sitting in. It seemed didn’t know that I had spoken to his wolf.
“I’ll wait for Edward to come back and talk to him.”
I watched Ad’s shoulders relax a little. He quickly said goodbye to me, ready to leave to report this to Alpha Lyon and Luna Taylor. Tomorrow morning, news of Christie’s death would have already spread throughout the entire community. Wait, no. It wouldn’t take that long since Ad had said that some members of the community had already been to the scene.
Regardless of how Christie died, just the fact that she wrote my name in blood baffled me. How could this matter be related to me when I have no clue what was going on?

(Something has happened. Will you come back as soon as you can?]
[Ad already told me. We’re on our way to the airport. We’ll talk about it when I get back.]
After Edward replied to my messages, I didn’t hear from him again. To be honest, I felt bad that this incident had ruined his trip. If it weren’t for those letters, Edward probably wouldn’t have come back so quickly. I lay on our big bed, tired. I wanted to take a nap, but I found myself tossing and turning. I just couldn’t fall asleep.
‘Rose, relax, you need a break.’
My wolf Charlotte decided to say something. She always showed up when I was in a bad mood.
‘Do you think I can sleep in this situation? It’s probably been all over the news that I had something to do with Christie’s death, but I’m just sitting here like a duck, doing nothing.’ ‘It’s not as bad as you think, because you didn’t do it.’ ‘But I don’t understand. Why would she write my name?’
‘Don’t worry, I have faith that Alpha will uncover the truth. All you need to do now is to trust the process and stay out of this case.’
We stopped talking and I continued lying in bed, forcing myself to sleep.
