Chapter 137: Renegade Witch
[Annabel’s P.O.V.]
Even though Alpha was strangling me, I did not bother resisting.
If I were him, I’d want to kill me too. Since I could empathize with him, I simply let him vent his frustrations on me.
I begged him to let me down and I would tell him the truth. I had no plans to resist but d*mn, his strength was really making it hard for me to breathe.
But I was more worried about the fact that I was suffering than that I would die. He might be the strongest Alpha of the largest pack in all of North America. But he wasn’t a Werewolf of Chaos so even a dark witch like me would still be able to take him on quite confidently.
I didn’t know if he would forgive me. If he wanted to punish me, I would willingly accept it. After all, I did use dark magic to make him lose his memory and create an imposter in his pack. I had basically destroyed the relationship between him and his mate. And here I was, shamelessly asking him for help.
“Alpha, I’m still very surprised that your connection with your mate can affect my dark magic and restore your memory. I’ve never seen such a strong connection.”
I was able to get up elegantly even after he threw me onto the ground. But my entire body was still in pain.
“Tell me everything now, or I’ll kill you.”
He used his Alpha’s voice to tell me through gritted teeth. Oh, he indeed had the wisdom and calmness of a leader. If he knew that killing me immediately meant that he wouldn’t be able to obtain any information.
“Emily came to me, offered me her most important thing – her soul – and asked me to use black magic on you. So I caused your car accident, rescued you from it, and temporarily removed your scent so that your pack members couldn’t find you.”
I didn’t bother hiding any information from him. I looked him straight in the face and revealed the truth. And I had to say, I finally understood why women were so crazy about him. I had seen and met many good-looking men over the centuries, but none of them could ever compare to the one standing before me, not with his features and temperament.
I even wondered why I felt this way. Every time he looked at me, despite the amount of hatred he had for me radiating through his eyes, I was still infatuated with him. This man was a total hottie and thankfully I caught myself in time. Otherwise, I might have totally fallen for him.
“I set you up here so that noisy b*tch could take care of you until you recovered. At the same time, I completely enveloped your imposter with your scent and hair follicles so that he wouldn’t be discovered that easily. You don’t have to worry too much about his true identity. He’s just another poor homeless man who had also sold his soul to me. But he has quite an insatiable greed so he’s quite happy to have taken over your position right now. He’s obviously not a good match for your mate.”

“You turned a homeless man into another me and let him live with my mate?!”
“Yes, Alpha. This only requires a disguise spell and some dark magic. Look, I don’t have any hidden intentions behind my actions. It was Emily’s idea to let him pretend to be you and live in the castle. My tricks could have easily been discovered by Werewolves of Chaos, but your mate surprisingly didn’t.”
“And why would you think she would be able to see through him.”
“Obviously because your mate is a Werewolf of Chaos.”
“Ridiculous.” He sneered at me.
“Look, Alpha. I know what I have done and I would like to beg you for your forgiveness as well as your kind generosity to help me. But I have to say, I’m not the biggest sinner here.
“I’m simply a businessman, trading my secrets and skills for theirs. And even though Emily had traded her soul for everything that has happened until now, I’ve just realized that the price she paid is nothing compared to Luna.
“I know that your mate is a Werewolf of Chaos. Otherwise, it’s impossible for her to have such a magical wolf or such powerful connections with her mate and her pack. Even the disconnection of your link almost killed you. The vampire Nicholas was the one who came to me and said that there had been a huge explosion of energy from a Werewolf of Chaos. He had been looking for her. I’m not dumb, Alpha. A nearby place can only mean your pack and if it happened recently, Luna must be the one since she is also a newcomer.”
When I mentioned Nicholas, I noticed a moment of shock and worry on his face despite his best efforts to hide them. How cute, he was still trying his best to keep his identity as his mate a secret after all of these.
“D*mn it, I don’t understand what you’re saying at all. So what stupid words did you say to him?”
“I told Nicholas that I don’t know if there are any Werewolves of Chaos nearby. But if there’s any news, I’ll report it to him. Nicholas didn’t seem to have any leads at the moment. But since he had already found the general location, I thought he might already know something. I would like you to know, Alpha, that I did not reveal your mate to him because I’m on her side now.”
“What made you, an evil woman, change your mind?”
“Alpha, don’t talk about me like that. I’m just a businessman and a witch at the same time,” said I, feeling a little sad that he thought so little of me. God, was I starting to care what he thought of me?
“I hope that your mate can kill Nicholas no matter how hard it may be,” said I briefly. This was my only goal.
“You want my mate to work for you? Dream on.” He looked at me coldly again.
“Obviously I don’t have the right or the position to ask Luna to do anything. I just want to offer my help to repay the harm I’ve caused to you,” said I said, then I put some small black cards on the bedside table.
“You will need these someday. If anything happens, tear one up and I’ll appear in front of you, no matter where or when. Based on my agreement with Emily, I’ll deal with the imposter tonight so that she can bring you back to the pack.”
“You’ll never be able to make up for the mistakes you’ve made.” He continued to speak coldly to me.
“Keep the imposter alive. I’ll get someone to deal with him. You just have to tell Emily that you’ve taken care of him and leave the rest to me.”
It seemed that his memory was recovering well. He must have been contacting his people via the phone to make the appropriate arrangements for his return.
I was a sensible person and I knew the true meaning of the phrase, ‘There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests.’ Unfortunately, this poor Alpha didn’t seem to know that his mate had left their pack.
But it was because of how strong their connection was, despite everything that had happened, that convinced me that Luna Rose was the Werewolf of Chaos. Regardless, whatever happened between the two of them from here onwards was not my concern. All I wanted now was to get rid of the Devil.
