<h4>Chapter 101 Lies</h4>


    (Edward’s P.O.V.)


    I was dealing with matters remotely from my office but I was not fully there. My mind had been trying to imagine what Rose’s training was like today and the scene of Southern Wilderness Pack’s undead attacking us suddenly appeared. Then, my cell phone rang. It was Patrick.


    “Alpha, I was taking Diana home and guess what I saw?”


    “I don’t want to guess. Just tell me.”


    “Alright, you have to admit that you are a bit boring when you are working. I saw Sarah walking out of Simon’s residence.”


    I felt my heart tighten. “Are you sure you saw correctly?” “Of course, I’ve never been short-sighted.” “Fine. I’ll ask him when I have time.” After hanging up, I tidied up my desk and went to the recreation room, the training location chosen by Alonso today. I stopped by to see what kind of training Rose was going through. I had to check up on her first.


    As I was about to push the door open, it opened from the inside. Rose was the first toe out, followed by Alonso and Susanna. When she saw me, she jumped into my arms like a little bunny, but I could tell that she was a little fatigued from the day.

    “I threw darts across the air today and hit the bull’s-eye many times! And I could roll the billiard ball into the hole without touching


    it!”


    “Alpha, Luna has been learning how to control her skills with her emotions and thoughts,” said Alonso.


    “Thank you again for your help.”


    I didn’t forget to mention to Alonso and Susanna that it seemed today’s training was going better than usual. I kissed Rose on the top of her head – her body smelled like nectarine, freesia, and rose. I always felt at home when I smell her.


    “Don’t becent just because of a little achievement. You should know that if she faced a vampire now, he can bite her neck in a few seconds and all she’d ever do to him was hit him with darts.”

    I frowned. I didn’t agree with Alonso’s constant threats and provocations toward Rose, but I had to admit that he was an effective teacher.


    “So are we going to train more today?” Rose was no longer fazed by his words.


    “Do you still have time, Susanna?” asked Alonso to Susanna as he turned toward her.


    “I have plenty of time when ites to that d*mn demon. Just the thought of him getting beaten up by Luna is a great motivation,” said Susanna through gritted teeth, as if the person who would battle him was her.


    “So witches and vampires are also enemies?” asked Rose.


    “To be honest, I don’t have any conflict of interest with vampires per se, but Nichs is a b*stard. He killed some of my people just because they didn’t want to help him.”


    “So he didn’t just kill the Werewolves of Chaos?”


    “He killed Werewolves of Chaos because he wanted to drink their blood. But he killed wizards and witches purely because his request wasn’t fulfilled.”


    “Why is he still able to walk around freely aftermitting so many crimes? I’m sure we’re not the only ones who want him dead.” My girl started to gnash her teeth.


    “Because hees and goes without a trace. Moreover, he is very powerful. Ordinary werewolves or wizards are no match for him.”


    “What about the Werewolves of Chaos from before? Couldn’t they kill him either?”


    “If they could kill Nichs, they wouldn’t be recorded in the book as missing or dead. Don’t ask these meaningless questions anymore.”


    Alonso’s words were like a blow to Rose as she started to look a little depressed. But she still chose to continue the next part of the training.


    “Edward, are youing with me?”


    “Sorry, Babe. I still have something to take care of. I’ll find youter.”


    “Alright then.”


    With that, Rose followed Alonso and the others to the back of the castle while I headed back to my office and took out my phone.


    Five minutester, Simon had entered my office.


    “Good afternoon, Alpha.”


    “Where were you just now?” asked I. There was no point beating around the bush.


    “I was at home just now. Did something happen?” “What were you doing at home just now?”


    “Uh, the water pipe in my house was a little clogged so I was unclogging it.”


    “Were you alone? What about your daughter Emily?”


    “She had something to do and had gone out. So yes, I was home alone.”


    Although Simon had been answering my questions without any signs of hesitation, some of his micromovements was indicating that Patrick might be right, he was lying about something.


    While Simon was still present, I instructed Ad to bring me all records of movements within the territory over the past few days.


    “Alpha, did something happen?”


    After I hung up the phone, I noticed that Simon’s expression was starting to turn sour. He was carefully testing the waters as his fingers kept digging into his palm. He didn’t even dare to look directly at me anymore.


    He was definitely lying. But I couldn’t figure out why. He wasn’t such a person before.
