Chapter 195

“What about your duel opponents? Do you know anything about their food poisoning? There’s a serious look on his face as he poses that question. I’m too weak to speak. My head drops and I simply shake it with tears falling from my eyes to the floor.

What’s all this?

“I don’t.” I croak and sniffle tears. “Please you have to believe me.”

“I believe you.” He says calmly. My head stops shaking and I stare at the ground below for a millisecond before averting my gaze to him, looking thoroughly stunned.

He believes me.

Did he just say that?

“I believe you.” He repeats the words as if he knew I needed him to do that. Sparks explode in my brain. My eyes water even more. I’m momentarily dumbstruck by the impossible of this moment.

Alpha Reagan believes me.

“Do you?” I ask, shocked.

“I do.” I smile in tears.

Thank you Alpha Reagan. Thank you so much for believing me.” I watch him take out his cell phone from his suit jacket and dials a number. The person picks on the third ring.

“The girls in the hospital, bring them back to me. The woman who showed up at the stadium. to accuse Ashanti, bring her to me too. I need to interrogate them until one of them tells me the truth about what happened. Even if I have to break their skulls open to see the truth sitting in their brains, I will… I’m on my way.” He ends the call, shoves his phone back into his jacket and looks at my face. Our eyes lock and electricity zaps between us. “I’m going to get you out here.” He says with so much confidence, I almost dance on my spot. I smile.

“Thank you.” My inaudible voice whispers, but he hears. He pips his head, staring at my lips, studying me in an entirely new way. I look at him, not knowing what to say or do anymore. When he’s done staring at me, he clears his throat and takes a step back.

“No one is allowed to come in here and see you. Beta Ronald is out there to make sure of that.

Also, don’t eat or drink anything served to you. The person trying to set you might try to get extreme when they find out an investigation has been opened. We don’t want history repeating itself. Is that clear?”

“As clear as day.” I nod eagerly.

I’m famished right now, but my life is on the line. I’m not going to risk it for a plate of food. I can definitely withstand hunger for a few hours.

“Good. Just hang in there for some time. I’ll get you out here very soon.”

“Thank you very much, Alpha Reagan.” I thank him from the bottom of my heart, my eyes lighting up hopefully. He doesn’t say anything. He simply turns on his heels and walks away. The moment he’s out of sight, I return to my sitting position and lean against the wall with my eyes closed.

I feel a lot better and alive now. If Alpha Reagan is in on this case, it means the truth will be revealed and I won’t have to get killed for a crime I did not commit.

“He has come, Lena. He has come to save us.” I whisper to my wolf, who immediately springs up in my mind, as though she had been waiting for me to summon her.

“I told you, didn’t 1? Alpha Reagan never stopped caring about you.”

I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m very happy.

His involvement in this investigation gives me hope that things will go smoothly and I’ll be vindicated.
