As I cleaned the final drop of blood on the floor, the wound on my chest healed thoroughly. At the same time, a new day dawned for the Moonshadow Pack. 

Cyrus emerged from the bedroom, carrying Emily’s scent, and saw the rag soaked in dark red blood. 

He frowned. “Why is there so much blood?” 

I didn’t explain, only lowering my head. “I’m sorry, I’ll deal with this dirty thing immediately.” 

Outside the window, a maid was watering the garden, and she deliberately raised her voice, “That monster asked me how to please a werewolf and what gifts to give to a werewolf mate before! Goodness, is she trying to seduce the Alpha King?” 

“Gosh, does she think that a witch like her can be with the Alpha King? How delusional! Doesn’t she know that those dirty merfolk are the reason why the Alpha King’s parents disappeared? She should be spending her entire life repenting!” 

Hearing those words, I immediately sensed danger and tried to retreat back to the basement, but Cyrus moved faster. 

He dragged me straight to the interrogation room, pressing me down on the chair that was carved with lightning runes.
