My Cursed Mate

While the investigation was going on, another attack happened but this time it was different. The attack happened on the same night and it was spread through the city. There were also witnesses and evidences that were collected.

Megrez did not know what happened but just as Vega informed them, Alpha Clementine was already on top of it, offering his help to catch the culprits. What’s more concerning was that some of their people suddenly went missing.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“I don’t have a good feeling about this.” Vega walked in to his brother’s study. He had been busy with Empire for the past few days when the news reached him. “Alpha Clementine is up to no good. The fact that he is advertising himself in public means that all focus would be on him.”

“What are you thinking about Vega?” Megrez could catch what he wanted to say but they can’t just pull out because of gut feeling.

“Pull out our people. Everyone, stop the investigation first before another wave of attack happens again.” Vega stared at his brother with his jaws clenched and the air around him was tight.

“Vega is right, you need to pull them out and let them return to Cerulean. Do not be involved with this matter any longer.” Reiga supported Vega’s suggestion. He jumped down from the open window where he was perched. “This is according to the Saint. ‘A storm is coming. It is better to face it with everyone in Cerulean’.”

“I’ll call them back then.” Megrez leaned back and closed his eyes. Vega and Reiga watched in silence as he focused on connecting with all the pack members and warriors that he sent out there. After receiving confirmation, he opened his eyes and nodded at the two other people in his office.

“Regarding the missing pack members, we can’t do anything about their case. Just know that we must be ready for what’s about to happen,” Reiga looked at Megrez, “because it’ll be definitely a mess.”

It only took two days for everyone to get back and the moment that they were back something big happened. TV channels and even the internet became saturated with articles of werewolves killing humans. Some articles were even alluding to Cerulean as the main culprit of the recent killings. Not long after, Alpha Clementine took it to the public and released a statement backed with evidence that Cerulean was the mastermind.

He even presented several witnesses to prove his claim. Not long after he even paraded the culprits they captured and to Megrez’s annoyance, they were the warriors who went missing. After the press conference, people started to enter their territory in hopes of getting statement from them. There were also reporters who were flocking outside Empire after it was revealed that Vega was related to Cerulean.

“What should we do, Alpha?” Rick asked after they heard the news. They were currently inside the pack house’s conference room.

“I will face them and deny all accusations. We will also present all the evidences we’ve gathered so far and would request to meet the witnesses and the captured wolves. I don’t believe that they would betray Cerulean. They are still under my command and if they did betray us, Alpha Clementene must have done something to them.” He was not about to back down especially because Cerulean was involved. If it was only him, then he could endure but the whole pack was already implicated.

After that, they made preparations to face the reporters, the authorities and the people. The day of the press conference, Alpha Clementine attended with a smile on his face. He was ready to see how they would defend themselves. With the help of he ORDER, he was sure that his plan would work. The pack members he captured were perfectly under control and they will confess everything.

Megrez entered the venue with confident strides and an authoritative aura that could be felt inside the hall. Cerulean was known as a community that helps the city with their resources and protection especially to those who wants to explore the forests and woods outside the city. Their leader was seen only a couple of times as they’ve been operating in silence for many years. Their property was strictly monitored and it was difficult to enter but once you were granted entrance, it was not different from the other communities.

Without hesitation, Megrez addressed all the accusations fluently and smoothly. He even presented evidences that was completely opposite to what Alpha Clementine presented. These evidences clearly showed that these crimes have been going on for several years and it was Cerulean who apprehended the culprits and presented them to the police. He also denied the involvement of werewolves to the crime.

“Werewolves are a myth. How could these creatures be still true in this time and age. These killings were done by I believe is an organized organization who aims to raise fear and chaos in the city. We at the Cerulean had been also hunting them for years,” he looked at the reporters, “but they are difficult to fight and subdue. We call this organization The ORDER.”

At his announcement, whispers started to fill the hall. They didn’t know how to react to the revelation. The name of the organization was not familiar to them. Clementine looked around and saw that the reporters were now more interested with the ORDER.

“Cerulean also believes that The ORDER is involved in several more cases. The ORDER is a group that has already taken root in this place and in any other place because they had existed for years. I won’t even be surprised if a member of that organization is here with us today.” He added which only fueled the curiosity of the reporters and the people who were listening to them.

“It just came to me, I’ve heard of that organization from my grandfather. According to him it was an organization that masks their bad deeds with good ones. At first, I thought that my grandfather was crazy but his stories became even more vivid the longer that he talks about them. Anyone who would hear those stories would definitely believe them.” A voice from the crowd stopped the whispers. He was looking at Megrez with a surprised reaction. He never thought that he would hear that name again after his grandfather passed away.

Megrez was also surprised to hear that story. He did not think that someone from the crowd would further prove his statements. He was glad and at the same time became concerned for the person who spoke up. He immediately instructed one of his men to watch the reporter and protect him.

“After this press conference, we would like to see the culprits and the witnesses to be able to talk with them and hear what they have to say.” Megrez made another announcement but it did not have that much of an impact because they were more interested about the ORDER.
