Sophie
He walked into the building where his men were being trained. He walked into the room and saw the girl, who was tied to a chair, with a blindfold covering her eyes. A man was also tied to another chair beside her.
When has she been here? Alex asked, looking at Callum before taking his gaze back to the girl.
“She was brought here this morning.” Callum answered. He deliberately did not touch her because Alex wanted to deal with the maid himself.
“And who is this?” He walked to the man tied to a chair beside her and removed his blindfold.
“We don’t know who he is. But he was trying to kill her when we found her.” He explained everything to Alex, including how they saw the girl when she was running for her life and how they later saw the man after they took her.
The person behind this must have sent him to kill her to cover up the secret. Callum said, but Alex did not say anything.
He walked to the girl and removed her blindfold. “Wake them up.” He said to one of the men who was standing behind Callum. The man walked to the girl, who had passed out because of the anesthetic she had inhaled, and poured a bucket of cold water on her face. He also took another bucket and poured it on the man beside her.
Ha! Belinda groaned in pain because of the terrible headache she felt. Her whole body was aching. She knew that something was wrong. Her hands and legs were tied to a chair.
She cleared her eyes and looked up, only to see a lot of eyes staring at her, but it was only one that got her really scared.
“Who could have thought it would be just this weak thing?” Alex scoffed. He was full of rage as he was looking at the girl, but he still kept calming himself down so that he could get the truth out of her.
“So tell me. You prefer getting your fingers chopped off or your eyes plucked out before you start talking.” He took a knife from the table near him and touched its edge slightly.
Belinda could not say a word; tears kept falling out of her eyes. She was so scared that she couldn’t even move her trembling mouth. She knew that she was done for, but she did not want to confess anything because she thought that Sophie wouldn’t pay for her mother’s medical bills.
Alex looked at the girl for some time before he scoffed. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. Belinda screamed and shivered when she saw blood dripping out of the forehead of the man who almost killed her.
Alex had shot the man who was tied next to Belinda. The man had not said a thing since he saw the fully armed men in the room. He knew that a single sound from him could get him killed, so he did not bother saying a word, rather, he was listening to the man talking with anger visible on his face.
Callum, who was just watching, was not expecting Alex to suddenly shoot the man in the forehead. However, he wasn’t surprised.
Belinda looked beside her and saw that it was the man who tried to kill her last night. She thought that it was the Alpha that sent him; she was not expecting to see him tied to a chair beside her. “Why did Alpha kill him when he was sent by him? Was it not Alpha Alex that sent him?” She thought, but her thoughts were caught short when she heard.
“I won’t say it again. Who sent you?!” Alex asked, raising his voice at her.
Belinda knew that she had no choice but to start talking. She knew that it was Sophie who sent the man to kill her, and there was no point in protecting her.
She looked at the ground, sniffing with tears running out of her eyes. I… It was the next Luna. The girl stuttered, and everyone in the room stood with shock.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“You meant Sophie?” Callum asked to be sure he heard her clearly.
“Yes. Her name is Sophie,” the girl answered. None of them could say a word; even Alex was mute.
Callum walked up to Alex and said, “I think she’s lying.” He did not believe the girl; infact he never thought it could be Sophie.
“I’m not lying. She killed Gregory and gave me the poison.” The girl said in tears. The room was quiet, but only Belinda’s cries and sniffs could be heard.
“There’s only one way to find out,” Alex said. Even though he was surprised to hear Sophie’s name from the girl, he wasn’t hesitant to make sure she paid.
He turned to the men in the room. “Inform the elders in the supreme that we’re having an urgent meeting, and everyone must be there.” He turned back to Callum and said, before walking out of the room, “Take her. We’re going to the Supreme.
Callum was also in his own world. He kept thinking of all the possibilities that could make Sophie the witch they’d been looking for.

She walked into the silent house. Shawn had dropped her off at the mansion after she was discharged from the hospital.
She never once thought that she would still be in his house after she had given birth to the baby. But now that she has lost the baby, she’s still back in the house.
“Why is everything so silent?” She asked herself. Just then, Shawn entered the living room. Mr. Warren will be here soon. Should I get you something to eat, ma’am? He asked.
Ellie was surprised that he was asking her what she wanted to eat. She knew that it was the maids who cooked for her, and she hasn’t seen any of them, not to mention the other employees in the house. She only saw the gatekeeper, who opened the door for them.
“Where are the other employees?” She asked. She noticed the displeasure on his face, like he was hesitant about something. “Is there something wrong?”
“No. There’s nothing wrong. It’s just that Mr. Warren has fired all the maids because they had something to do with your lost baby.” He said calmly; Ellie just looked at him and nodded her head. She remembered what Maya said about him being hurt.
