Chapter 309: Truth of Alina and Aiden

VALENCIA’S POV

It has been a couple of days since the incident with those dead bodies took place, and so far, we have yet to conclude.

The postmortem reports came just fine, but we still couldn’t shake off the lingering feeling that something was wrong. Maverick and I exchanged looks as soon as we read through the report carefully.

"Are you sure that there was nothing suspicious?" Maverick asked.

The doctor before us nodded and explained how he had used his best knowledge and his doctor team to perform the postmortem, and the autopsy report was before us. Nothing could have escaped their notice.

Maverick nodded and dismissed the doctor before moving his hand through the hair.

"Something is wrong, Valencia. You can feel it, too, right?" He asked me, and I nodded.

I knew why he was feeling like that. His wolf was one of its kind and the most potent beast wolf in the world. The chances that he held special sensory powers that everyone has been neglecting so far just in the name that he is a powerful alpha were more.

"If you want, should I ask some witch to do it and help us?" I asked.

Maverick turned to look at me. He knew how much I hated interacting with those superficial ladies who act like they care but haven’t done anything apart from gloating and giving us useless warnings that were practically pointless since the devil was acting just fine against us.

Rather than agreeing to my words, Maverick held my hand and pulled me in for a hug before pecking my forehead.

"You don’t need to go through all that trouble. I will think of a way to do things," He said.

I didn’t add further to it and nodded meekly.

He has been swamped these past few days, and while I was in no position to complain because I knew how dire the situation was, I didn’t like everything happening when it was supposed to be our honeymoon time after the mark.

The idea made me clench my fist, and I left the private house.

"Where are you going, Luna?" I saw Lovely walking towards me with a bright, hopeful smile.

"I am going out to attend some business. Would you like to tag along?"

The girl’s eyes lit up immediately, and she jumped into her place, excitement leaking from her body. I was taking her with me because she was pretty talented and could put Alpha Maverick and his team at ease. They won’t have to worry about me thinking I went out alone.

"Do you know how to drive?" I asked Lovely, but I saw Liam asking the truck to move towards our garage before she could answer.

Curious, I walked to him.

"Has Maverick purchased a new car?" I asked.

"No, Luna, this is the bike that I heard you are fond of," Liam said, and I immediately smiled.

As soon as the workers pulled it down, I grinned.

It has been such a long time since I rode my bike.

"Keys," I extended my hand towards Liam, who looked behind me. Then, I placed the keys in my hand.

"Are you going somewhere?" Liam asked.

"You are not afraid of sitting on a bike, are you?" I asked Lovely, who shook her head.

I told Liam to tell Maverick I was meeting a few human friends in the town if he asked about my whereabouts, and Liam nodded. He said I shouldn’t worry about my safety since the city was now full of werewolf security guards in disguise.

"Let’s go," I said to Lovely before accelerating the bike. I took a deep breath, as the adrenaline rush paired with the nice weather made me feel good.

"Luna, I think you should slow down a little," I heard Lovely murmur from behind me.

I am sure she was shouting at this point, but due to the speed, her voice was barely a whisper.

I didn’t yield. Instead, I parked before the fighting ring that Aiden owned.

"Is your friend here?" Lovely asked, and I hummed.

Walking inside the ring, I greeted Seth and asked them where I could find Aiden. It has been a month since we last talked, and I thought meeting and explaining in person was better than dropping a text.

Once I found out he was camping in the tourist area’s woods, I immediately rode my bike there.

"Would you like to stay here?" I asked, and Lovely was witty enough to understand that I didn’t want anyone to eavesdrop on our conversation.

"Don’t worry, Luna. I will guard the place," She said with a sense of responsibility.

I gave her one last look before turning on my heels to go further into the tourist area.

Though it was a tourist area, people still camped farther apart to enjoy their solitude and nature.

I was more than halfway up and was about to call Aiden to find his exact location as it was a vast area, and I didn’t want to overwhelm myself uselessly, but before I could dial his number, I heard some hushed whispers around me.

"What now? Valencia has shifted to the Dark Callisto pack. How are we going to step forward in our plans?" I heard a man talking, and Aiden’s distinctive voice made me freeze in my place.

What plans?

I gulped, clenching and unclenching my fists. I wasn’t sure if I could take any betrayal from one man I had thought was my best friend. I licked my bottom lip, keeping my heartbeat steady so I didn’t attract any animals who would ruin my plans.

"I am not sure. I have informed the authorities, too. Since I am not able to meet Valencia that much, I don’t think I would be able to complete the task," A female voice came, and I felt disbelief wash over me for the second time.

Alina?

Why was Alina talking to Aiden like this? Did he know she was a demon’s daughter?

No wait. She wasn’t exactly a demon’s daughter. She was probably a witch. I had this doubt long ago and dropped hints, too.

But Demon or witch, why was she interacting with Aiden like this? Wasn’t he a mere human? Could it be that Alina had arrived here with ulterior motives, and all that drama with the witches being behind her was just a facade?

If that was the case, what did she want to achieve?

I remember how Aiden had acted the day he saw Alina for the first time. He acted like he didn’t like her at all, but after that, in the name of hating her, he had asked about her whereabouts quite a few times.

Could it be that Alina was using Aiden against me? But why would she do so? I have done nothing but good to her.

Tears pricked my eyes at the possible betrayal, and I licked my bottom lip.

I was here to explain to Aiden how I was in a relationship with our former professor. He had once hurt me, and I forgave him because I thought he had feelings for me.

However, everything felt useless now.

After meeting Aiden, I was hoping to meet Alina to let her know about the change in plans, and — I shook my head.

This wasn’t the first time I had been betrayed. So what was the big deal about it? A sense of self-mockery hit my chest.

I turned on my heels, ready to leave, when Aurora’s words stopped me.

’Why are you running away?’ She asked.

I glared at the wolf, who seldom talked to me these days, another thing that was icking me.

"I am not running away. Don’t you see what’s going on here?" I asked.

’And are you going to decide everything by yourself? Even if they are the culprits, shouldn’t you confront them? Haven’t you learned your lesson? Confront them and make it clear if they are your enemies rather than running away,’ Aurora said.

Her words made sense. If they were planning against me, what were the chances they would not join hands with my enemy to take me down? I needed to know if they were my ultimate enemies.

I turned in the direction the duo was and was about to walk ahead when Alina said something that made me pause.

"You don’t need to shift into that leopard and appear near Valencia to protect her for the time being. Last time, you almost got caught by Alpha Maverick. He is her man now. He won’t stop at anything to ensure shapeshifters like you and witches like me stay away from her. We must find a different way to protect her," Alina said.

While this corrected my doubt and negative feelings about them being my enemies, and I was glad Aurora stopped me, I couldn’t shake off the shock after hearing Aiden was a shapeshifter.
