Chapter 102 Telepathy

[Edward’s P.O.V.)

I flipped open the record book and soon found the answer I was looking for. I turned it around for Simon to have a look. Even though the air conditioner was on in my office, I could see beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.

“Do you know this person?” asked I as I pointed to Sarah’s name on the record book. The reason for her entry was simply written as ‘visit’.

“Yes. She’s from New Moon Pack.”

“Did you meet her this afternoon?”

I watched as Simon swallowed with difficulty. His Adam’s apple moved visibly and more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He kept using his hands to smooth the small creases on his clothes, but he didn’t answer my question.

“If you dare to hide it from me, you will be executed for the crime of deceiving the monarch.”

“Alpha, please. Yes, I’ve met her.”

F*ck, this wasn’t the answer I wanted to hear. Why would my castle’s servant be sleeping with the b*tch who tried to drug me?

“Tell me about your meeting. Every single detail of it.” I ordered him with my Alpha voice.

“Alpha, I will tell you the truth. But I beg you, please don’t tell anyone else.”

“Yo dare to bargain with me? Spill it or else.”

“She is my lover.”

Simon looked sad when he uttered those words. He almost wanted to kneel at my feet. I simply thought that my ears had heard wrongly.

“The daughter of New Moon Pack’s Beta, Sarah, is your lover?”

“Exactly.”

“Is that why she came to look for you today?”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“How many times have you met her before?”

“This is the first time. At my house. I was usually the one to look for her.”

“What did you guys do?”

“Nothing. We just had sex like a normal couple. Alpha, as you know, my mate passed early and I’m a man with needs too. Sarah and I met at a bar a few months ago. She was young and beautiful, so I pursued her even though I was fully aware of being a creep for going after someone my daughter’s age.”

“You may return but I don’t think you’re suitable to be the director of the castle anymore. Your job will be taken over by someone else.”

I let Simon leave my office and he didn’t say anything else, not even a single word of protest. He just staggered out. I knew I couldn’t get anything out of him even if I kept asking. Although I didn’t believe what he said at all, I immediately thought of someone else.

I stayed in the office for a while before deciding to check out the back of the castle. Just then, a familiar voice rang in my head.

‘Edward?

‘Rose?’

‘God, of all the abilities you have, this is my favorite!’

‘Can you come up to that hill behind the castle now? Alonso said I might be able to evolve my wolf.’

‘Woah, that’s exciting. If my mate wasn’t a Werewolf of Chaos, I would have never believed your kind existed. In my twenty-plus years of living, I’ve never heard of werewolf evolution.’

‘Were you talking to Simon?’

‘Yes, Patrick saw Sarah coming out of his house so I called him over to question him and he said that she ws his mistress. I don’t believe it, though.’

‘From New Moon Pack?’

‘Exactly. I don’t think he’s telling me the whole truth.’

I was already on my way to the hill but I could still communicate with Rose. It was pretty awesome.

‘Edward, he did lie to you.’

‘What?’

‘I heard his thoughts after your conversation.’

‘Well, it seems you’ve heard more than you thought. What do you know?’ “It’s all over’ was what I head him think but I don’t quite understand what he means by that.’

I didn’t know either, but the only thing I knew was that Simon had lied to me, about his meeting with Sarah and his relationship with her.

Suddenly, the puzzle pieces started to come together – Sarah drugging me, Christie’s death, Christie entering our room and stealing the poisoned masks, and Simon having access to any room in the castle since he’s the Head of Logistics.

I immediately took out my cell phone and called Patrick to have someone keep a close eye on Simon. Then I gave a silly excuse to hang up immediately.

I wanted to take Simon into custody for questioning but I knew that he was an honest person deep down. Acting rashly now would only alert the true mastermind behind this, and to get to that person, I had to use other means until I had solid evidence to bring that person in.
