Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

203 The Real And Fake Frank

Selma Payne’s POV:

Aldrich didn’t say anything. He only glanced at Frank.

I understood and followed him out of the guest room.

“We can’t confirm whether what Frank said is true or not. We don’t even know if he’s really Frank.” Aldrich’s many years of professionalism made it impossible for him to let down his guard. “His appearance is too coincidental as if he specifically picked a time when there were only the two of us to ask for help. You don’t understand him, and I’ve been separated from him for so many years. Even if there’s a flaw, it’ll be hard for us to find it.

“And his experience. To be honest, I can’t believe it. It’s too bizarre, especially after he got involved with demons. I can’t think of a reason for him to spare Frank’s life. If they want to use the fake Frank to interfere with our judgment, why don’t we just get rid of the real one? Why did he give him a chance to escape?

“And that so-called dream. If Mullwica was just a dream, how did he survive for more than ten days in the Rocky Mountains at -30 degrees Celsius without food or water? No matter how strong a werewolf is, this is still impossible even if he was in a deep sleep.

“Especially when I tried to test him by asking him to return to the pack for medical treatment, he refused no matter what. A qualified soldier should know what to do at the right time. The advance party does not lack people who can take care of the team members on his behalf. He has no reason to refuse treatment.

“There are too many holes in his story. It’s hard for me to trust him.”

Aldrich was right. There were too many loopholes in the time of Frank’s appearance and the story.

However, he had Frank’s face, and his scent was no different from Frank’s. It was hard for me not to exaggerate the possibility that he was the real Frank.

The problem was that the one on the mountain also fulfilled all the conditions for ‘Frank’. It was as if there were two identical Franks in the world.

But how could that be possible? One of them must be fake.

“No matter what, we have to calm him down first. I could only try to calm the one in the guest room down. We’ll talk about it when the werewolf grandmaster arrives tomorrow.”

At noon the next day.

Master Mary arrived hurriedly with Kerner and a few other team members. Without saying anything, they first did a thorough examination of Frank. The results were good. Other than the exhaustion of his bodily functions, there were no fatal or internal injuries.

On the surface, I was celebrating his safety, but I was getting increasingly suspicious. Was this a state that a person who had struggled alone in the snowy mountains for more than ten days should be in?

Master Mary insisted that Frank go to a human hospital for a more detailed examination, no matter how much he protested. The werewolf grandmaster, who had accumulated a lot of power and influence, obviously had more say than the two young ones, Aldrich and I. In the end, Frank had no choice but to agree.

Kerner and a few other team members were in charge of taking care of him. Now, there are only three of us left in the safe house.

“Yes.” Master Mary went straight to the point. “After I received Dorothy’s message last night, I immediately went to test the waters with Frank on the mountain. He was acting normal. There was nothing suspicious about him. I secretly collected a strand of his hair and did a test. The results showed that he was Frank himself.”

“So this is a fake?”

“No.” She took out a small test tube from her sleeve. “I’ve tested this fellow, and the results are the same. He’s also Frank.”

“It can’t be that Frank has a twin brother that no one knows about, right?” I was deeply troubled.

“We can’t prove the authenticity of Frank with our current means,” Aldrich said. “We can’t let the two Franks meet. In a situation where one side is accusing the other’s identity, if we let them meet, it will only lead to a chaotic war of slander. If both claim they are real, it will not help and will confuse us.”

“That’s why I stabilized Frank on the mountain. I told him that there was something wrong with Selma’s body.”

“What about Kerner and the others?”

“They’re trusted aides. On the surface, they’re members of the advance party, but they’re people from the Lycan King. I’m sorry to have kept this from you, Your Highness. This is His Majesty’s order. The unknown spies can help you solve many problems without you knowing.”

I recalled a familiar face among the team members: “Then, is Yuri also from the Lucan King? He has been acting like he can’t wait to push me off the cliff.”

“Yes, Yuri too.” Master Mary nodded helplessly. “He is loyal to His Majesty but also hostile to you. Please forgive him, he’s not targeting you, but he doesn’t have a good impression of all the nobles.”

I wanted to ask why, but now was not the time to chat.

“Anyway,” I continued. “No matter what, we must send this Frank back to the pack. There are too many suspicions about him, and we don’t have the energy to test his authenticity bit by bit. It’s better to leave this problem to my parents to solve. We need to keep an eye on the other Frank on the mountain. Even the one here is more suspicious, we still can’t prove his innocence.

“After all, demons have a lot of time and energy. Who can be sure that he could only create a fake Frank?”
