Chapter 35


    My hands shook in anticipation as I eyed the letter. I knew what ever was written, would change my life


    forever.


    ~~~


    If someone is reading this, it means the moon heard my prayer, recognized my endless nights of grief


    and agony and hearkened to my will.


    I don''t know who you are, but you were sent by her to set things straight, since I couldn''t even after


    trying desperately so many times.


    Hopefully, whoever saw my sign at the door and realized that this book was misced wasn''t the


    wrong person. Edward, if you''re the one reading this letter, then I regret ever writing it. But I know


    someone will reveal the truth one day.


    However, if you are not my conniving brother, please believe everything that I say, as no one ever did.


    My brother, Edward, killed my mate when our father stepped down to give me the Beta position. He


    was so driven by power that he wanted my birthright. I told him no on many asions, and I told him


    that I am the one to be Beta, and he grew jealous. So in order for him to get my ce, he murdered


    her. As I write this I am in tears because it is myst resort.


    Edward and I were the only one who knew how allergic she was to tree-nuts. It was a very unnatural


    thing for a wolf, but it was real.


    She had a reaction after he made her breakfast one morning, because they were always the first to rise


    in the mornings. I found her in the kitchen gasping for air and it was toote when I brought her to the


    hospital.


    He knew I''d be too drowned on grief to take my position as Beta, and he was right.


    What made it worse, was that no one believed me. They acknowledged that she died from the reaction,


    but when I told everyone that he did it, they''d say I was suffering from a broken heart and trying to shed


    my grief by using Edward.


    He convinced EVERYONE that I was simply too unstable from the loss of my mate, and I was going


    crazy.


    ''Why would I ever kill my own brother''s mate? I adored Julia'' he would say all the time. And he was


    right, he did adore her, which made it harder for me to convince them.


    But he adored the title even more. She told me in herst breath that it hadn''t been her mistake, but


    Edward was the one who made them breakfast that morning. It was when she had taken a couple bites


    she realized that he had blended walnuts in her shake and sprinkled grains in her pancakes.


    I have no solid proof, and so I could never convince anyone. I was only the crazy brother who went


    mad after losing his mate. As wolves, we know too well that it isn''t unlikely. But I''m not crazy. I am only


    grieving, heartbroken and betrayed.


    My brother killed my mate to get my spot, and he did.


    But I can''t stay here. I can''t look at him everyday knowing what he did. I can''t stay here knowing that no


    one ever believed me, even my own parents. And so, I cried to the moonst night and asked her for


    justice. Justice for Julia.


    It wille in the name of love.


    So, whoever you are, thank you for finding this letter. I will probably be across the world by the time


    someone sees this. And if it''s mom, dad, anyone from Emerald Pack, please believe me. I''m not crazy


    and driven by grief to use my brother of such a thing. It happened. He even came to my roomst


    night to gloat about getting my position, and that if he knew Julia would do the trick, he would''ve


    eliminated her from the minute I found her.


    I couldn''t believe that this was a man I called a brother. He is no brother. If he indeed rules as Beta for


    years, I hope he''s a good one-- for the sake of the Pack.


    But as for me, I will not stand by and watch him for the rest of my life.


    So after a long night of weeping, I made my decision. I will leave today. I don''t know where I am going,


    but I hope they will be good ces with healing.


    This is Kavan Conley. I was the rightful heir of the Beta position at Emerald Pack, but my younger


    brother stole it from me.


    No one believed me when I tried to tell the truth, they thought I was crazy. Maybe my running away will


    confirm their beliefs even more. But you, whoever you are, the fact that you found this letter meant you


    were supposed to. I need you to set it straight. Even if it''s generationter, I ask this of you:


    Tell my story, bring truth to the wolves of Emerald Pack, even if they don''t know me. Because that will


    bring justice for my Julia.


    I will never return to Emerald Pack, nor will no one ever know where I''m truly from. I will change my


    name and lead a new life. But I hope that one day, wherever I am, I will hear news abroad that justice


    was indeed gained for Julia.


    If you cannot do this, I understand. Someone else will. But if you will do this for me, the moon surely


    blesses you.


    -Kavan


    ~~~


    My fresh tears stained the paper as my heart broke in a thousand pieces. The dried runny ink here and


    there on the paper told me that my dad was in tears when he wrote this letter too.


    My heart broke for him knowing what he went through. My heart broke knowing what Edward-- his


    brother-- did to him for power. My heart broke knowing that he didn''t live to see the day when justice


    would be made for Julia.


    I''m sure he had hoped that he would be in America, and hear that a big revtion of the lost son''s


    mate had been brought to light.


    Well he didn''t live to say that day. And that hurt.


    But I will grant his wish. I will bring justice for his lost mate, and I will set his legacy right. The people of


    Emerald pack shouldn''t see him as a weak, crazy man who lost his mate and ran away in grief. No,


    they will know the truth.


    I will tell the truth.


    "What are you doing here?"


    I yelped in surprise as I spun on my heels. My eyes widened when I saw the one person who didn''t


    want to see, standing in front of me.


    Edward.


    I quickly shoved the note in my pocket, since I knew he was nothing but a lying, sneaky viin.


    However my movements were caught by his eyes, and he saw that I had a paper. His eyes narrowed at


    the book that I held in my hand, as he took slow threatening steps towards me.


    "This is Kavan''s room" He said slowly before pointing at my book. "And that is his favourite book"


    "It''s-it''s mine too" I lied. "I love 30 Days .." I trailed as I nced at the book''s title quickly, since I forgot


    it. "As A Substitute Prince"


    However, he saw straight through my lie as he inched closer towards me. His friendly demeanour that I


    grew up knowing was nowhere to be found. His eyes were threatening and cold as he backed me


    against a shelf.


    "I''ve never been in here since the day that brother of mine left. No one has. So why have you? He sent


    you here didn''t you?"


    "No he died when I was little. I don''t remember him. He didn''t leave any messages for me toe


    here" I snapped as I tried to get away, but he held me against the shelf.


    "So why did youe here? I knew after telling you that story, that you would''ve been snooping


    around. You had that same look in your eyes that Kavan had when he was determined. I didn''t want


    you to go snooping around and see something you shouldn''t have." I pushed at him but he still held me


    put. "Like this!" He eximed as he grabbed the note that I pushed in my pocket.


    I tried desperately to get it back from him, but he managed to keep me down with one hand as he held


    the letter with the other.


    Wasn''t this the same man who was talking about not being ''as strong as he used to'', this morning?


    I guess it was the rush of adrenaline, because even with my strength I couldn''t get away.


    He didn''t read it all, but he skimmed through it quickly as far as I could see. "Why aren''t I surprised that


    this has been here for over two decades, and you were the one who ended up finding it? You are his


    daughter after all. The only one who would''ve recognized his clever little clues."Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Give that back to me you monster" I spat as I reached for the letter, but instead he dropped it to the


    floor and wrapped both his calloused hands around my neck.


    He lifted me from my feet as he squeezed my neck, stopping air from reaching my lungs. I writhed and


    kicked at him so hard, but all he did was wince and held me put. I scratched at his face, I even


    emerged my ws and sank them into his face, but he was determined about killing me.


    "I''m sorry Zoey. I really was looking forward to knowing you as my niece. You were my shot at


    redemption with my brother. But I can''t have you ruining me and my kids."


    My eyes began to droop as my head grew light. I couldn''t believe it would end like this. My dad didn''t


    get his happy ending. I didn''t get my happy ending.


    My mate. Gosh Niall will be so broken. He''ll me himself for noting with me and-


    My fuzzy thoughts were cut off when the man''s hands fell from around my neck. I blinked rapidly as I


    went in a coughing fit, and as my eyes focused, I saw Edward lying on the ground unconscious. I then


    lifted my gaze to Asia who had wide eyes and a huge ass book in her hands.


    I recovered from my coughing and I couldn''t help but throw myself at her in a hug.


    "What just happened?" She asked, seeming still shocked from the man she just saved me from.


    I took a breath of air as my throat still stung, but I was indeed happy to be alive.


    "The truth happened, Asia. The truth happened."
