Chapter 95: Chapter 95

I was sitting on the sofa as Greg, Elsa, and Rayan seemed busy organizing a search party to find all the creatures that attacked innocent victims during the night. There had been many cases of aggression scattered all over the city which reflected the number of mutants that Jessy and my grandfather had released into the wild.

I don't understand, are they sick or what?

I thought these mutants would help them in a war against the Soul Moons but instead, they are using them to create an apocalypse in the city. Now normal humans will start to wonder about the possible existence of creatures and history has shown that human beings unite and grow stronger when they have a common enemy. Their intelligence and their instinct will allow them to develop weapons and other artifacts which will allow them not only to be able to unmask the creatures which hide among them but also to fight them to get rid of them.

For them, the creatures will be the invaders, who would prove them wrong. Because of my grandfather's madness, they were attacked and many were killed. It is normal for them to defend themselves against this threat of a new kind. I gulped as I crossed my fingers together, I got both sides' version, I'm deadlocked, on the Shield of Rain side, they're acting because they've been usurped, at least the family from my grandfather, on the Soul Moon side, it's personal revenge because the Shield of Rain killed Greg's mother but before it was out of selfishness from Greg's father because my mother pushed him away.

I don't know what to do or say, what is certain is that I am Greg's mate and therefore I must stay by his side no matter who I have to fight against. Even if for now, I don't know what will happen to me when he finds out who I am. On the other hand, I also need to know where he hid his cowardly father to settle accounts with him.

All this is giving me a headache and I want to go to bed and sleep for good. I have so many problems on my side, Shield of Rain, my indirect participation in what is happening... Will Greg forgive me?

" How are you, Sophia? You look very pale to me."

I looked up at Rayan who was looking at me oddly. Since that look, I have the impression that he looks at me quite critically and my heart sinks at the idea that he is suspicious of me. He is Greg's right arm and I thought I heard that he is the one who ensures his protection within the pack, if he is suspicious of me it means that he had to carry out an investigation and is this not? Especially since the fact for Greg to take a girl like that out of nowhere and present her as his Luna and by extension, that of the Soul Moon must have tickled in his head.

Greg seems to have great importance for him so he makes sure he is always safe.

It's not all that reassuring.

" Yes... I'm fine... and…"

I felt Greg come to me with his worried face as he came to touch my forehead.

" Hey, baby... Are you feeling good?"

I bit my lip, my heart clenching in guilt, how can he be so nice to me? If he knew who I was...I feel so disgusted as I stand there by his side as he tries to stem the threat to the mystical world. I who know almost everything stand there like a fucking traitor watching him fidget knowing that he is far from imagining the truth.

I feel like I'm laughing at him and it hurts me.

" Yes, it's fine... I just think that these events are awful."

I clenched my hands as Greg stroked my hair putting a few strands behind my ear.

" Indeed, I do not know what it means and who enjoys making people suffer so much but do not worry, I will personally make sure that the culprits pay, whoever they are I will be merciless ... you have to be frankly despicable to impose this on innocent people."

My heart quivered as I lowered my head in fear and shame.

" Yes … despicable."

I swallowed the wrong way before I heard Greg's phone ring.

" It's Elias... I see."

He looked at Elsa and Rayan before standing up.

" He found something we have to go to."

I jumped, did he find any proof? What if it was that he captured one of the instigators of this plot? What if he talks and ends up mentioning me? No, it would be a disaster, I don't want Greg to hate me and reject me.

I started shaking, what should I do? If I start asking them too specific questions they will end up suspecting something, but if on the contrary I bind myself to my grandfather and act as a relay, I will betray Greg for sure exposing him to certain death. But if Greg discovers the truth, I will be killed, and this without having been able to avenge my parents.

What to do? But what to do?

I started biting my nails as the worry showed on my face.

" You seem worried about something. I'm going to take you home so you can rest and I'll be reassured that you're safe."

I swallowed heavily before nodding my head. My vision was blurry and there was a weight in my chest. I was breathing hard, the only thing I heard was buzzing. I was very afraid of being discovered. If I warned my grandfather about Greg's moves, I would place myself as an enemy of Greg but in the other case it will be the same, the result is the same in all cases.

What did I do? Could revenge have blinded me forever? I shook my head feeling my body being carried causing me to cry out in surprise.

"I'll take you home."

I jumped before shaking my head.

" No ... I'm fine, it's going to be fine, don't worry, I can go home alone."

" I do not …"

"Please, you have more important responsibilities, especially in the face of this major crisis. As Alpha of Soul Moon, you are also the head of the Clan of Lycanthropes, you are one of the thinking heads of the Alliance, and they need you. I promise you I'll be fine."

Greg looked at me for a long moment before sighing in defeat.

"But if anything happens you call me ok?"

I nodded before being dropped. Greg came to kiss me then he left accompanied by Elsa and Rayan. I sat down in the chair behind me demoralized as I held my head with both hands.

" What am I going to do?"

I stayed like that for long minutes before deciding to go home. I don't know what to do anyway, I don't want to help my grandfather in his madness. When I think of what he did for years, it was his grandfather who abdicated, so what he did afterward was horrible. Besides him who said that the Soul Moons are monsters, it is he who is at the origin of this carnage. There is no longer any question that I am involved in all this. I'm now close to the goal, I just have to coax Greg into telling me where to find his father and then I'll slit his throat.

I got up after regaining my composure before praying that Elias' findings had nothing to do with me. I headed for the parking lot where my driver was waiting for me.

"Miss Sophia?"

" I want to go home. I don't feel well."

The man nodded before opening the door for me. I was heading inside the car when someone ran into my driver jumping up to apprehend him. But he was oddly very quick holding me down so I wouldn't fall, and managed to avoid my driver yet he is indeed a lycan.

I frowned, it can't be a mere human, can it? It must be another creature.

" Sorry miss."

This voice...

I looked up at my assailant before opening them wide. The person also seemed surprised to see me.

" What... Sophia?"

" Chad?"

No but what the fuck?

" Sweetheart."

A real mess.
