Before reaching the airport, Clara called.
Simon stared at Clara’s name on the screen, irritably swiping to answer.”What?”
“Simon, I know where my sister is!”
“But… can you come to my house first? I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly on the phone.”
His grip on the phone tightened. Simon turned and grabbed his car keys. “I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
The lights of the Davis family villa were particularly glaring in the night.
As soon as Simon stepped onto the steps, Clara threw herself into his arms, her scent making him subconsciously frown. “What’s this about Emily’s whereabouts?”
He subtly pushed her away.
“Don’t rush.”
“Actually, I… I asked a friend to find out. She’s in Moonland Pack now, and she’s very close to an alpha.”
Hearing these words, Simon’s heart inexplicably beat faster.
Moonland Pack was the direction the investigator had identified, but who was the “alpha” Clara mentioned?
Was he a friend of hers? Or someone new?
Countless questions swirled in his mind.
He grabbed Clara’s wrist, his grip so strong it made her cry out in pain.”Where’s the exact address? Do

“I’m worried about you…”
“The address!”
Simon’s roar made the crystal chandelier tremble slightly.
“Why are you so anxious to find her?”
“Are you playing me?”
Simon’s voice was as cold as ice.
Clara’s voice was choked with sobs.”You’re so harsh to me now, don’t you love me anymore?”
She sobbed and pressed closer.”Simon, dare you say you don’t have that fake mate, Emily Davis, in
Seeing his silence, Clara suddenly became hysterical and pushed him.”Speak! Are you guilty?”
Her shout stopped abruptly.
Her phone slipped from her fingers.
Simon instinctively bent down to pick it up.
The unlocked chat history stunned him.
Dozens of messages filled the screen, full of insults directed at Emily.
Simon instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his hand holding the phone trembling.
It took him several minutes to gather the courage to open the messages.
Most were photos of him and Clara, some taken while traveling.
The dense text messages he couldn’t bring himself to open or even look at a second time.
“Simon’s heart only belongs to me, aren’t you feeling bad?”
“You became his Luna by chance, but his heart is always with me.

Aren’t you considering severing the mate bond?”
“You bound your wolf so many times to stay wolfless just because he doesn’t like a powerful lycan, he doesn’t even feel bad. Unlike me, he worries as soon as I say something. See?
Your life is nothing.”
For over half a month, it was filled with such provocative messages.
A surge of anger rose in Simon’s heart.
There was also a message showing a large sum of money transferred, with a reply stating the matter was completed.
The date was the day the kidnappers abducted them.
Simon finally understood that it was all orchestrated by Clara, with paid actors.
“What else have you been hiding from me?”
