FakeNovelChapter 342 KESTER.
PRESENT.
After the tragic incident that took place two days ago, I had becthe villain to my pack members. Everyone suspected me. And of course, I'd have suspected me, too, if I were to be in their shoes.
Now, I had to sit here and listen to the council members ramble on about the incident, tossing around theories and speculations, while I waited quietly like a lamb whose fate was being decided at the slaughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll these weren't really so much of a concern toat the moment. My only concern was the fact that Kasmine thought I lied to her. She hadn't even letanywhere close to her room for the past two days now.
Mum even toldshe was sick yesterday Pregnancy stuff, I guess. She called in the family doctor and handled everything without tellinguntil it was over.
That didn't sit right with me.
The amount of tKasmine was being exposed to Mum recently madefucking worry. And when she's in that vulnerable, emotional state, she listens too easily. She absorbs things she shouldn't. Mum knows exactly how to play people like her, especially when she's hurt and unsure.
And especially now that she thinks that I killed Blaine. The last thing I needed was for Kasmine to take a decision she couldn't walk back from.
"Alpha Kester?" A voice called, makingrealize I had zoned out briefly, "What do you have to say about this?" All twenty-three pairs of eyes were on me, waiting forto defend myself.
I cleared my throat and adjusted in my seat, scanning the wide hall before speaking.
"You all certainly think I am a coward," I began, doing all I could to hide the disgust I felt, "You've already tried and sentencedin your minds." "I've ruled this pack for years. Many of you watchedgrow. You knewwhen I was a boy, you fought besidewhen I becAlpha." I paused, taking in their expressions. "Now tell me, in all those years, have I ever struck you as a man who would choose the coward's way of taking down an enemy? Am I one who hides behind others to get his hands dirty?" I let the question sink in, narrowing my eyes.
"I don't pay cowards to do what my fists can handle. If I wanted Blaine dead..." I paused, letting the words burn, "...'d have killed him myself. would've broken his bones one by one until the last breath left his lungs, and I'd do it in front of every damn one of you." There was silence.
"I'm not a fool. And I'm not a traitor. But what pissesoff the most is that while you all sit here looking for someone to blame, the real traitor is still out there, smiling at your ignorance." "But this was too convenient, Alpha Kester. Everyone who made up the opposition was in that meeting. If someone wanted 1/2 Chapter 342.

Haven't you learned anything fromin all my years of leading you?" I snapped, "Whenever it becomes obvious that the enemy is within, that's the perfect tfo outside because the enemy is most likely an outsider after all!"
I growled, already losing my patience, "We have so many enemies as a pack. I also have my own enemies. Ever ver thought they might have planned all these just to setup? Ever thought of that? Or you all are quick to judge because I am the easy option?" The hall went deathly still for a long moment.
"Now, about my bond with my stepsister..."
All eyes were onagain. Sstraightened, frowned, while o saw it coming.
