Chapter 50 Cindyâs POV âYou should kill that brutal Alpha of yours and then come to me Weâll leave here togetherâ In the dim dungeon, Cutterâs voice rang in my ears.
1 clenched my fist, gritted my teeth, and said, âNo. I wonât betray my Pack I promised Alpha. I swore to him.â
1 swallowed the sour taste in my throat and continued, âI almost betrayed him at the border and told you our battle plan. He obviously grew suspicious towards me, but he still gave me a second chance I canât...â
âYou canât what? Beiray him? He did you a little favor, and you gave him your life?!â
Cutter approached me His budy was covered with scars, and the smell of blood filled the air However, I could also smell a forest scent that belonged to him among everything else.
He reached out his hand and squeezed my chin. âDonât forget that Iâm your mate, Cindy! You belong to me, not lim! Wliy do you always bring up that bloodthirsty murderer?!â I recalled back to the battlefield a few days ago. When I followed Alpha Enzo against the incoming Rogues, I never thought I would meet my mate, their leader We were fighting on the battlefield, trying to kill each other, when a forest scent wrapped around me His wolf paw was on my chest, but he retracted his claws once bie niade sure I was his miale He lowered his head closely to my face, whispering that only the both of us could hear, âCome with me.â
Those were the first words he said to me As though waking up from a dream, 1 hesitated a few seconds before saying, âNo.â
Cutter gave me a sullen look, but he didnât kill me He released me, then turned to fight the other soldiers. Standing on the battlefield filled with slaughter, I felt for the first time that Fate was toying with me Before I was eighteen, I had always fantasized about my mate being the Alpha everyone admired. That was also what my mother had told me She told me that I was the only one worthy of my Alpha So, I trained hard I accompanied him to the battlefields and fought for him. But on the day of my eighteenth birthday, all my dreams were shattered.
I wasnât his mate. As I felt depressed and lost, about to give up on Enzo, my mother told me it didnât matter. I could still become Luma through my own efforts I chased away all the women who tried to approax 1 Enzo just to be able to stand by his side But then, he brought back a marriage partner What was so great about that woman?
Besides her beauty and a stupid land heart, she wasnât good at anything else I couldnât see what Enzo lilard about her!
I was the one who deserved him, a woman who could be his right hand, not some trash like her What was even more absurd was how my dreams were instantly shattered at this moment My mate was, in fact, a vidous Rogue That was pure shame!
But But when his scent wrapped around me, when he pulled his woli claws and fangs away from my chest, when he whispered to me, asking him to leave with him. I couldnât help but feel moved I struggled immensely After hearing Enzoâs battle plan, Cutterâs death Mashed through my mind, which terrified me and my woli to the core Propelled by the fear coursing through my veins, I made the boldest decision in all I wenty years of my life I risked being discovered, trying to cross the border barrier when the moon was dark and the wind was high to look for Cutter, wanting to tell him our battle plan But my Alpha appeared suddenly His deep eyes seemnel to see through my very soul hidden beneath my slan linsisted that I had only wanted to launch an ambush at the Rogues I could tell that he didnât believe me al all by the expression on his face, but lie didnât treat me like a traitor, perhaps because I had fought by luis side for so many years Instead, he gave me a second chance Thatâs why I couldnât betray my Alpha I shook my head looking at Cutter âMy Alpha is not a murderer I donât know where you got that misconception, but Iâm his soldier I understand him Heâs a qualified leaderâ âYou inis: him that much? Cutter frowned as he grabbed my shoulder âHe must have brainwashed you Wake up!
âIf it werenât for his bloodthirsty, barbarous, and greedy tendencies, why would i become a Rogue?
Cutlerâs ages gleaned with halted. âAlpha Enzo is shameless He cared to sneak up on my Pack while our soldiers were out tuning They killed our aging Alphia tobbed our supplies, bumed our Pack, and even let hus soldiers defile the women in any Pack Our relatives ate all deadâ Doesnâhe deserve death for that? My heart beat wildly in my chest. To be honest, I knew that Enzo had never gone soft facing huis enemies.
But at the same time, he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he wouldnât take the initiative to attack other packs I gulped, trying to digest Cutterâs words. Then, I shook my head and said, â?- impossible We never took the initiative to attack other Packs Even if there were wai, weâd never resort to burning or robbing others or humiliating the old and weak.â I narrowed my eyes and looked at Culler âWhat was you Pack called?â âThe Night Fang Packâ
I was stunned I didnât remember ever having any conflict with this Pack, nor had I heard its name before âImpossible,â I denied once more âWeâve never fought your Pack Thereâs no such massacreâ âYou. What? Youâve never?â Cutter looked at me in shock I nodded firmly âYes Iâve been with my Alpha on the battlefield ever since I was seventeen years old I remember every battle we fought If we really attacked your Pack back then, 1 would remember.â
âBul_ âCutter had a dazed look in his eyes. He raised his hand and pressed it on the center of his brows. âBul Ernest told me himself that in the massacre, the enemy was wearing Cold Moon Packâs totemâ
âNo We wouldnât be so cruel Who is this Emest youâre talking about?â
Cutter frowned âHeâs an old man who survived the massacre What? You think heâd lie to me) âThe facts are indeed pointing to that.â âBul.â
âIâm your mate,â I said, cupping his face and looking him in the eyes. âI wouldnât lie to you Donât you trust me?â
âLOf course I do. But.â âDonât you doubt him?â I cut him off and asked, âYou said it yourself, heâs just an old man, but he survived the brutal massacre. Are you sure you donât doubt him a single bit?â Cutter was thoroughly stunned After a long silence, I sighed.
âPerhaps we should investigate this more clearly, shouldnât we?â Cutterâs eyes were trembling, and I continued, â7ake me to this Ernest Iâll confront himâ Cutter furrowed his brows deeper, then nodded after a few moments.
