Chapter 54 Girls
Ava's POV
My heart seemed to have stopped beating in the midst of all this chaos.
In the middle of Deborah's almost crazy laughter and Adele stared blankly at each other.
Honestly, from the beginning of this path I have thought about the various situations I might have to face, one way or another.
I knew what was most important to me as an undercover agent: gaining the trust of others and then using their trust. This wasn't difficult for me, and I've been successful before.
Although only once.
I know where my strengths lie, and I know what kind of people are most likely to trust. Not very pretty, tragic, but capable, and cheerful. Such a person will be welcomed everywhere.
The last time I carried out such an undercover mission is not sure how long ago, even the process I can not remember, only remember that I finished very smoothly, including the subsequent results are also very satisfied with everyone.
Of course, not everyone was satisfied, such as the old curmudgeon Carson was not very happy. For her displeasure, he had a big fight with her, thinking that he was deliberately showing that expression and attitude towards me because I had stolen his thunder.
I didn't feel that way, but I was confused for a while, and when I asked him about it, he just said "you're not really cut out for this" and "you're just lucky this time", which annoyed me a lot.
I didn't understand what he meant at that time, and I used to be proud of myself for not bothering with him about such behavior. But now, at such a time I finally really understand what he meant.
I have to say that he does have the ability and qualifications to be the Alpha of Bright Moon Pack, his vision is as sharp as his father's, like a knife, just one glance they can know what is in each other's mind again, also just one glance, he knows what kind of position this person is suitable for.
I don't feel bad for his uneasiness, and certainly not because he sighs and really reflects on himself.
But today I finally understood.
I am simply not a qualified taskmaster, I have never even really been serious and conscientious about my intelligence work.
I even felt guilty many times for being undercover, and kept complaining because of it, even though I never showed it.
I know that my father didn't choose me to be the Beta of Bright Moon Pack actually because he knew I was simply not capable of being the Beta of the pack, much less qualified.
Since my relationship with Aaron has eased my attention and focus has fallen almost entirely on him, I've been sad because of her antics and happy because he's happy, and have grown to accept him even more because of his care and concern, even imagining that we have a future.
How can we have a future?
How can we have a future?
I forgot about the wounds he had and imagined that I could actually heal him!
I was in love with him!
And now that love had truly destroyed me and was going to drag me down to hell.
Deborah was still laughing.
I knew she was laughing at me.
Her every word, every look, and every smile told me how pathetic and wretched and ridiculous I looked right now.
She said you deserve to die.
I know I really deserve to die.
I'm sorry for my pack and Corson and Kate who trusted me, I fell in love with the Alpha of a rival pack and wanted to spend my life with him, I didn't complete my mission, and now the Blue Moon Pack is even more powerful, which will make the Bright Moon Pack's situation even more difficult.
I'm also sorry Aaron, from his eyes began to become hot and gentle love to see seems I know his feelings, but I never wanted to really face it, I think every day is how to now know a little bit of poor intelligence to pass out, every day thinking about how to make him in the end can forgive me, because I do not do much, every day thinking about how to be able to end this torture now.
But I never thought that for him, who had been deceived once before, my current behavior was also a deception.
I didn't think that getting him interested in me might have been a cruelty.
I didn't think about it.
I was most sorry for Adele, whose trust and love and dependence on me was known to the whole pack, but I had lied to her, I had made her a betrayer like me.
I made her suffer the eyes and humiliation she should never have had to endure in the first place.
"I'm sorry, Adele." I choked out.
"What?"
As if she didn't understand, she continued to stare at me with her head cocked dully.
What hurt me the most was that there was no hate or sadness in her eyes that I expected, none at all.
She didn't even have tears in her eyes.
There was only bewilderment and confusion in those sapphire eyes, and even a little shame that she didn't know what she was supposed to do.
She didn't know what kind of thing was happening right now, and she didn't know what she was supposed to do. In the face of Deborah's questioning and taunting, she even leaned toward me without even knowing it, as if I was the only one who could protect her and bring her comfort at this time.
"What's in there?"
I heard Deborah ask.
This made me finally take my attention reluctantly away from Adele and turn to Deborah.
It occurred to me that she seemed to have sent someone into the secret passage earlier, and now that the person who had gone there had returned, she was asking about the situation.
"Nothing." That would be one of her men, but the badge on it was that of the Blue Moon Pack.
A badge with a combination of moonlight and rosebuds.
I suddenly realized probably in everyone's eyes she was now similar to Blue Moon Pack's Luna, so there was no problem for the people in the wolf pack to listen to her.
"But it leads to the outside of the wolf pack."
This person went on to say, "And there were no ambushes or other people to meet them."
"So it looks like she's leaving?"
Deborah asked with a smile, "Search her to see if she's carrying anything from our Blue Moon Pack."
"If not, kill it, before the Alpha gets in trouble."
That's what I said, but probably because the people around me didn't look like I was hiding anything, or maybe she just said that casually, so someone had already transformed into wolf form and slowly approached me.
The reason why they didn't immediately pounce on me, I think because my past image was just a little too violent.
"Get out of here." I said to Adele, "Don't tell your brother."
Death is good.
I already kind of wanted to give up, the wound on my shoulder was both deep and long, there was no way I could beat the opposite side and get out safely while already injured and still in human form.
But I was more confident that I might be able to die with them, at least to kill Deborah, who was not good for Blue Moon or Bright Moon to live.
I felt a little more at ease thinking about it.
"I've never lied to you before." I wiped a tear from Adele's eye, a little surprised she didn't avoid it, "I really like you, and I do like your brother. I've never told anyone what you said, I swear."
"You're nothing like her." I actually wanted to laugh a little when I said that, "She never called me sister, and she's much older than you. It's just that you're both equally beautiful. She doesn't like to paint either, she just loves to walk around in her dress."
"Go ahead. Later ......"
I said here surprisingly a little do not know how to go on, throat like swallowed a large briquette, how can not make a sound.
Only to her shook his head, and then reached out and pushed her a hand.
The little girl stumbled as I pushed her and looked back at me.
Already a wolf had lost its patience and pounced on me, and I could almost see its sharp fangs as it opened its mouth.
Then those teeth would bite my throat and penetrate my neck.
I slowly reached up my skirt and opened the strap in the crook of my leg.
There was a Nepalese knife there, which I carried with me for self-defense.
I had to plunge this knife into its heart at the moment it lunged closest.
Then ......
My hands began to shake. It's been a long time since I've been this close to danger, and at the moment, smelling blood I actually had an uncontrollable excitement and urge to do so.
I know who this gene comes from, it belongs to my mother, it is said that in her youth she was the beautiful snake on the list of killers of the entire wolf pack, and those who died in her hands simply did not have time to close their eyes before their lives ended.
She was never afraid of bloodshed and death, which she said was the glory of the wolf pack.
Unfortunately, I only inherited her bravery and aggressiveness, but not a single bit of intelligence and beauty.
My mouth was drying up, my throat was tight with excitement, and my mind became incredibly clear at this moment.
But it was at this moment, the moment when the tip of the knife was almost about to sink into the chest of that wolf, that I saw a familiar face.
With tears in her eyes, full of anxiety and panic.
Adele!
"Boom", the wolf whose nails had sunk into my shoulder fell down, with a head full of blood.
"Adele."
I looked at her in shock, forgetting to put down the knife in my hand.
She was also looking at me, holding up a half-broken vase in her hand.
This sudden occurrence surprised and bewildered everyone, and Deborah's smile froze on her face. She looked at me, then at Adele, and frowned gently.
"Carry the princess over here."
She instructed the people around her.
Blue Moon Pack had no such title, and it took a moment of hesitation for everyone to realize she was talking about Adele, and two of them came up toward us.
"Don't come any closer!"
Adele's voice sounded cold and stiff, "I will not trust you, a woman who has already betrayed us once!"
Deborah clasped her arms and pointed at me, flashing a smile.
"Even if you are now protecting another woman who has betrayed you?"
"Yes." Adele answered without hesitation, "Even if it is."
"We at Blue Moon Pack have no room for such a betrayer." Deborah spoke leisurely and slowly, "You do realize that everyone is listening now."
"We Blue Moon Pack?"
The sound of footsteps accompanied by a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the library. I looked up in surprise.
