Chapter 33
Lsabella's pov :
Jasper, Aaron and I all arrived in the conference room.
We were waiting for the information that the elders of the Blue Moon Pack had found.
I have to admit that the Blue Moon Pack, the largest pack on the East Continent, also has a library to match, with a large collection of rare books. I guess there are Blood Moon Pack's books in there too.
"The origin of the Moonstone legend can no longer be traced, but it is estimated that the name already existed several hundred years ago. Since few people have ever seen a real moonstone, there are many versions of the legend about it.
We have synthesized several versions of the legend and found a relatively reliable one: it is said that the Moonstone is as special as the bloodline of the King Alpha, and is known as the two major legends on the East Continent. The Moonstone is the tear of the Moon Goddess. When the Goddess descended to the continent, she saw the suffering on the continent, and she shed a tear for this continent. So the legends believe that the moonstone has the power to bring peace to the continent, but no one knows exactly how to activate and use this power."
Jasper looked at the three elders across the screen and snorted nonchalantly, "Can you get to the point, our task now is if we determine where the moonstone is, and how to identify the moonstone's authenticity."
I saw the obvious displeasure of the elders across the screen, and only then did I realize as an afterthought that they just didn't seem to be on good terms with each other.
"You're so desperate for clues about the moonstone, we're lucky to find these." Charles spat with a taut face.
Elder Andrew acted as a mediator: "Since we have the same goal, let's not waste our time on these things. Let me tell you the next part.
Legend has it that the moonstone emits the same soft glow as moonlight, and when placed in water, it can illuminate the entire water surface.
About how to use its power, we can only get some fragments of clues.
It is said to reach the nearest place of the Moon Goddess and perform a ceremony to be able to Moon Goddess and receive her blessing."
"Is that all the clues?"
"Yes."
With a wave of Jasper's hand, the screen was turned off by Declan.
I raised an eyebrow, this really fits Jasper's style of acting, I just wonder how the elders across the room will react.
Jasper looked to me, "Should we take a break or should we hear what the rogue has to say now?"
"It's already dark outside, it's better to rest first."
Jasper nodded, "Let's do that for now, then."
I asked them to bring my dinner to my room for me, and then went back to my villa first.
Jasper followed.
He and I chatted a bit at the door.
"How do you feel about this rascal?"
Jasper laughed mockingly and softly, "I think you like it, you can't take your eyes off it."
"Be serious Jasper, you know what I'm asking."
"It's nothing, even if he's lying, a set of torture down, all he will obediently say."
I had never seen Jasper interrogate a rogue, and seeing him so well prepared, I was suddenly looking forward to seeing the scene tomorrow.
"Then I'll leave it all to you."
"Right, isn't this easier than serving as a clan Alpha? You can all rely on me like that in the future."
"Later? Is it really appropriate for us to talk about later?"
Jasper's face changed.
After all, I'm still asking for his power's help right now, so I immediately changed the subject.
"But then again, have you really identified the person who hurt Olivia? What are you going to do after that?"
"That's not for you to worry about either, I'll let him expose himself."
"Okay," I nodded, "I'll go have a nice rest then."
Jasper suddenly reached out and jammed the door as he teased, "What? You're not inviting your mate in for a cup of tea?"
"I don't have any tea here." I slapped his hand away, "Good night, Mr. Jasper."
"Good night."
I closed the door and Xavier sat down on the couch in my room with a big grin.
He smiled as he watched me walk over and made a spot for me.
I sat down next to him.
"Why don't you go wait for me in that room inside, how awkward would it be if Jasper just came in."
"I knew you wouldn't let him not come in."
I nodded my head, sort of agreeing with Xavier.
"Any news from the Blood Moon Pack?"
"Kyra reports that the rogue attack is over and didn't cause much damage, but the orientation of the attack was deliberate."
I was immediately alerted, "Why do you say that."
"The south lake of our territory is perfect for sneaking, and the water of the lake can mask the scent and prevent the discovery of explorers. That's why the places where we have been attacked in the past are also mainly concentrated here."
Yes, this is the basic situation of our clan.
"But the place where we suffered attacks this time is in the north forest."
"What?" I took a deep breath, "Just state your guess directly, Xavier."
"I think this group probably knows about the moonstone, and the North Woods is a complicated terrain, so there's really no need to retaliate against us from this direction."
I leaned back and sank my entire body into the couch.
It had come to such a critical moment, and I had held the ancient but fatally attractive secret quietly in my hands for so many years, and now with a sudden big move to try to grab that moonstone, there would be an inevitable danger of leaking the secret.
But the problem lies in the fact that my wolf clan is too small, and even with ten years of recuperation and recovery, it is difficult to resist a large-scale attack.
It was the darkest night before the dawn.
A big hand gently landed on my forehead, and this hand didn't stop, stroking up my eyes along my forehead.
I obediently closed my eyes and enjoyed a moment of darkness and dormancy.
"Don't worry, you still have me."
Yeah, I leaned gently into Xavier's arms, I still had him, everything wasn't too bad.
Early the next morning, I don't know if it was the anticipation of the moonstone or something else, but I was waiting in the conference room early.
Aaron was also waiting, but Jasper hadn't arrived yet.
"Miss Lsabella?" Mr. Aaron suddenly sat down in the seat next to me. He looked like he had something to say to me, but hesitated to speak.
"Just ask whatever you want to say, did you hear about my temper tantrum?"
Aaron tilted his head and smiled at my words, "Miss Lsabella is even more charming than rumored. I wanted to talk to you about my brother, I know he had a conflict with you before his accident."
"Oh, this matter."
I didn't know Aaron's attitude towards this matter yet, so I looked at him and waited for him to go on.
Aaron went on smoothly: "I heard from Ezra that my brother had offended you the day before, and fortunately was stopped by your Beta."
With that Aaron waved to the door and I saw a man with a beard walk in.
Although I had only met him twice, I recognized him immediately.
"Ezra?"
"Yes, he's still Beta of our Fai Moon Pack."
Ezra bent slightly toward me, "Hello, Miss Lsabella."
I was confused now, was it really like Jasper said, Aaron came to power smoothly after Liam's death? So he didn't care at all about his own brother's killer?
"We mainly want to apologize to Miss Lsabella, and hope that my brother's previous foolish actions have not damaged the friendship between our two packs."
Fai Moon Pack is not as powerful as Blue Moon Pack, but it is certainly more powerful than Blood Moon Pack. Is he really lowering his posture like this just out of the preservation of the friendship between our two clans?
"Why? We at Blood Moon Pack are the ones who are sorry for your brother's death. If not for the skirmish with us the night before, wouldn't Liam-san have escaped without his hand being injured?"
"That's probably my brother's life, I used to always advise him not to get into trouble everywhere, but he wouldn't listen."
"Alas! So did you find the killer?"
The two men in front of me looked at each other: "My brother had too many enemies, where can I find the killer."
I nodded: "I understand, please feel sorry for your loss."
In fact, I'm still deliberately asking Xavier to avoid going out recently, in order to prevent him from having a head-on confrontation with Liam's old gang. For this reason Xavier is very unhappy every day when he watches me go out, so I can let him follow me?
Or is this Aaron just scamming me?
"Talking about what behind my back?" Jasper had his hands in his pockets and was leaning on the doorway.
I don't know if it's because this Aaron is too difficult to deal with, but I feel happy when I see Jasper now.
I got up and walked to Jasper's side and gently took his arm.
"Nothing, didn't you show me your interrogation skills? Let's go!"
