The Abused Luna's Comeback

Chapter 152: Alpha’s Deduction

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

When I sent Patrick a message that night, he practically jogged all the way to my room.

Then, he asked, “Why Southeast Asia’s coastal cities?

“I mean, I’m sure Alpha knows that finding people is a time-consuming and expensive thing. So why would you focus on Southeast Asia’s coastal cities to find Luna? Have you received any hints or news?”

“I don’t have anything substantive, but I can’t give up. If dreams count as a hint, then I do have a lead.”

“Dreams?”

“Yes, I dreamt of Rose.”

“What did you dream about?”

“You don’t need to know the details, but we were basically in a bathroom having a short conversation.”

“What did you guys talk about?”

“Well, she obviously said that she was surprised to see me, and I said the same. Then, she started to cry and it seemed related to our child. But when she tried to tell me more, I was rudely awakened by that b*tch.”

“Who? Emily?”

“Who else could it be? I almost wanted Champion to tear her apart right there and then. I’m starting to really hate our plan.”

“Trust me, Alpha. It’s not fun for me to keep getting drunk at a bar full of beautiful yet unattractive women. Fortunately, Diana doesn’t hate me for it. But I promise that the news of you marrying Emily to make her the pack’s new Luna has spread to almost all the other packs in the nearby states. I made sure to talk about it at every table. And you can bet that everyone I spoke to was immediately interested in the gossip of the Alpha of the largest and most powerful pack in North America would soon be marrying another mate right after losing his first. My big mouth has successfully ruined your reputation. Are you sure you want to quit now?”

“I don’t know. I just hope that things can turn around. If Emily has a mate, her mate will most likely interfere wonderfully. How’s your little brother handling the matter?”

“Perfectly. Although he was a little confused about you making him constantly find trouble and quarrel with the elf, he was happy to do it. He used to have to hold himself back due to my parents’ presence. But now, he feels like he can be his true self. Ugh, I still can’t believe that the elf is a client of Annabel’s.”

“Yes, ever since Annabel revealed that Eve had asked her to make an abortion medicine, and the ingredients were similar to what Dr. Baldwin told us, I have been suspecting that Emily and Eve have a secret connection or are in some sort of collusion. As for whether there are other accomplices, I’m not too sure at the moment because no one else has given themselves away. D*mn it. We are the ones who are on the defensive now, only able to wait for the fish to take the bait.”

“If they are accomplices, and Eve used the method of sacrificing her own child to frame Luna, she really should go to hell! That child was not hers alone. It was my brother’s flesh and blood too. I hope that murderer gets convicted. But Alpha, you still haven’t told me why you think Luna would be in the coastal cities of Southeast Asia?”

I looked at my Beta, hoping that my judgment was right.

“Do you remember when we found Alonso by the sea in Istanbul? He had said: ‘If there’s anything in this world that I’m not sick of, the sea would be one of the few.'”

“Did he say that? I don’t remember it at all.” Patrick scratched his head. “Then why the sea in Southeast Asia and not elsewhere?”

“When I was in that bathroom, I noticed that the window had a Southeast Asian-esque design. There was also a coconut shell with an incense stick stuck into it and a small white elephant sculpture in a corner. The white elephant is a mythical beast unique to Southeast Asia – a symbol of peace and stability. Plus, I could feel that the air was quite hot and humid.

“Perhaps you would be better named as Sherlock Lancaster. Still, we can not simply search Southeast Asian coastal cities based on the decorations in the room.”

“They didn’t have much time to escape so I don’t think Alonso would have had enough time to decorate their house in such a unique style if they were anywhere else. Plus, even if he did decorate the bathroom like that because he liked the theme, why Southeast Asia? There was nothing in his boathouse in Istanbul that had hints of Southeast Asian themes either. Plus, I remember Susanna mentioning that she had been to many places but not Southeast Asia. And even if that bathroom was Rose’s, it couldn’t be because they decorated it for her. Rose likes pink, simple, and beautiful things. And she doesn’t practice any religions involving white elephants.”

“Okay, fine. You’ve convinced me. This might be a sign from the moon goddess. I’ll arrange for people to check it out.”

After Patrick left, I opened my wardrobe and took out a coral velvet pillowcase.

Ever since that d*mned imposter used our room, I had the servants burn everything he had come into contact with, then replace them with new ones. But this pillowcase was the only thing I couldn’t bear to destroy.

It was Rose’s pillowcase. I held it in my hand and rubbed it against my nose. It still had the scent of my lover, the only thing I had that smelled like her outside of her office.

Rose, my life, my everything, where the hell were you? Please let me find you, I would spend the rest of my life making up for what I had done.
