Chapter 921
“While we wait, why don’t you contact George?” James asked Alpha Edward and Beta Raymond.
“He was not there,” Ana said right away.
James narrowed his eyes at Ana. “George is a Commander in the Red Moon pack. That’s the highest position among our warriors. He is also my mentor, and I know he is loyal to the pack. If Alpha Damon and Luna Talia were in his home, he would know about it. Or are you suggesting he was concealing them so they could bully you? Are you that important p>
Ana lowered her head, and James snorted with, “I agree with Beta Raymond. Let’s wait for Nora and hear what happened there because Ana’s story doesn’t make sense. Ana was either brainwashed, went mad, or deceiving us on purpose. In any case, she is compromised and should not be allowed anywhere near the packhouse p>
Ana’s chin trembled as an ominous feeling gripped her heart. Did her fate depend on Nora? Ana never got along with Nora, and she knew that Nora would use this opportunity to get rid of her.
“What can Ana gain by accusing Commander George of treason?” Beta Raymond asked, and no one had an answer to this question.
Ana looked at Alpha Edward desperately. “I implore you to believe me. This pack is in danger. You are in danger p>
“We are always in danger,” Beta Raymond said.
“But this is real. It is happening right now and right here. Commander George is a traitor, and his whole villa is colluding against us p>
“I suggest you stop talking,” James said curtly. “Do you know what you are saying? You just accused the best Commander of this pack of treason! You sound like a crazy person. Did you overwork yourself for this party p>
‘KNOCK-KNOCK p>
Two crisp knocks were heard on the door, and Beta Raymond went to open it.
“Who is that?” Alpha Edward asked while pointing at the teen who came with Nora.
“That’s Oscar,” Nora responded. “He accompanied me and Ana to Commander George’s villa. Since you have questions about what happened there, I thought you would want to hear from everyone p>
Alpha Edward waved at the boy to start talking.
“Uhm…” He didn’t know what to say.
“Go on,” Nora encouraged him. “Just tell them what happened at Commander George’s villa p>
“He was not there,” Ana protested.
“He was,” Nora said. “We arrived together, and I left with him. How can you say he was not there? Who carried the garment bags p>
“Let him talk,” Alpha Edward said while checking the time. The party was close to starting, and instead of welcoming guests, he was dealing with this drama. But if Ana’s words were true, it would be a big mistake to dismiss them.
Oscar fidgeted, and he spoke without lifting his head. “We arrived, and Estelle took the garment bags p>
“Estelle is an Omega from Commander George’s villa,” Nora said quickly.
“Adele showed me to the kitchen, and they gave me food. I said that I shouldn’t be there lazing, but they said there was no work left and that I shouldn’t be in the room where females were changing clothes, so I stayed in the kitchen. It didn’t pass long when there was a commotion, and when I reached the hallway, I saw Ana running out of the villa. I wanted to go after her, but since Miss Nora was still there, I stayed p>
“And then?” Beta Raymond asked.
“Then… they gave me more food, and I left with Miss Nora p>
“Did you hear anything suspicious or see someone that shouldn’t be there?” Beta Raymond asked.
Oscar shook his head. “Just Omegas working there. Estelle, Adele, and Cherry. They have been with Commander George since he got his position as a General and are taking care of his villa. They said there were four more Omegas, but they were not around. Estelle is the oldest one, and she manages it p>
“Enough,” Alpha Edward interrupted Oscar. It was obvious that the boy didn’t know anything. “You can leave p>
Oscar left the study, and Alpha Edward turned to Nora. “What do you have to say p>
Nora said the story they prepared. How she came with Ana and Oscar, and Nora and Ana went to the living room to see Zina and Dawn.
“There was no one else?” Alpha Edward asked.
“Estelle brought the garments, and she would occasionally come to bring refreshments, but there was no one else p>
“Liar!” Ana hissed.
Nora rolled her eyes. “How would you know when you left p>
“I assigned both of you to go there. Why did Ana leave?” Beta Raymond asked Nora.
Nora fidgeted before responding, “We were there less than 5 minutes when Ana excused herself to the bathroom. I assumed that she went to snoop around, just as you told us, so I focused on two Omegas to keep attention on me. The next thing I know, there was some shouting, and Ana ran away p>
“Shouting?” Alpha Edward asked.
Nora pressed her lips into a line and lowered her head.
“What are you not telling us?” Beta Raymond demanded.
Nora whimpered. “Please, dad… Don’t be angry at me. I had no idea Ana would do such a thing p>
Beta Raymond hated Nora’s dramatic personality change, but they had an audience, so he spoke calmly, “Don’t worry. If you did nothing wrong, you won’t be punished, but we need to know, what did Ana do p>
Nora released a long breath. “I’m not sure what exactly happened, but Ana ran out, and then Commander George came, furious that she went into his study. He was shouting about her looking at important documents and then coming onto him, and he said she was lucky that Alpha Edward was protecting her; otherwise, he would kill her on the spot p>
Beta Raymond turned to Ana robotically. “You went into Commander George’s study?” And got caught? He told her to snoop around, not to be stupid!
“I didn’t p>
“How dare you make up stuff in front of your Alpha!?” Nora asked Ana in outrage. “Why would Commander George lie about you coming onto him? Do you think a man of his stature is lacking women p>
“I didn’t come onto him!” Ana cried. What kind of a nonsense story was that? She didn’t even see the man!
Nora rolled her eyes. “Tell that to someone who is blind. Commander George is young, handsome, and powerful. Only a blind woman would pass on a chance to get close to him but sneaking into Commander George’s study is too much. Are you upset because he rejected your advances? Are you hoping that Alpha Edward will punish him for you? Did your recent promotion get into your head p>
James stood up and looked at Ana sternly. “For your good, I suggest you come clean, or you will be punished for lying to your Alpha and smearing the reputation of Commander George. Did you accuse him of treason because he refused to shag you? Or because he caught you in his office? Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to snoop around? Are you going to tell us how you were unaware that a Commander has classified information in his possession? For whom are you working? Is it the Dark Howlers pack? Or is it the Steelbite pack? Rogues p>
Ana felt the ground under her feet shaking. What the hell was going on!? Why did accusations become graver the longer James spoke? Was he doing it on purpose, or did the dim-witted teen believe she was a spy from another pack?
