He glanced coldly over Ethan before adding, “Was Joyce counting on you to save her? No wonder she wanted to escape by climbing through the skylight the other day! Did the two of you plan this?
“I treated you as a friend, but you fucking seduced my Luna behind my back!”
He grabbed Ethan by the collar, glaring fiercely at him.
Ethan became enraged as well. “You’re the one who locked up Luna Joyce and her pup, causing them to die of incurable causes! You’ve committed a crime!”
“Go on! Keep acting, damn it! You’ve made two fake dummies to scare me! Tell me, where’s the real Joyce and her pup? When did you rescue them? Hurry up and hand them over!”
Ethan flitted through multiple expressions as he listened to Toby speak. In the end, he couldn’t bear it any longer and punched Toby in the face.
He used a whole lot of strength, enough to send Toby flying through the air.
I had died with my eyes open, so when Toby ended up landing next to my body, he came face to face with my wide, unseeing eyes.
He frantically leaped up and, in his panic, his hands came into contact with a ring on the floor—the Moonlight Ring that I had used my last bit of strength to pull off before I died.
It was Toby’s family heirloom, which he had given to me on our wedding day, and there was only one such ring in the entire world.
He jerked away, backing up until his back hit the wall, whereupon he saw the long, large gash stained with bits of flesh and blood stretching across the wall.
However, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Glancing darkly over at Ethan and Barney, he asked harshly, “Have you guys forgotten that I’m your Alpha? What did Joyce promise you in return? Let me guess… She told you that her pup was the pack’s heir, so she’ll definitely treat you well after her pup inherits the pack, right?”
Barney hurriedly shook his head. “Luna Joyce has never said anything of the sort, Alpha!”
Toby roared, “I’ve really been fooled by her innocent façade all these years! How could I have never seen her ambition for what it is? And all of you have actually lowered yourselves to becoming her lapdogs!
“Well, I’ll have you know that your wishful thinking is about to fall flat! She must be my Luna if her pup is to become pack heir!”
Right at that moment, Cecilia walked into the basement. “How’s the pup, Alpha?”
Then, she took in the scene and let out a loud exclamation. “What is all this?”
