Chapter 45
Seeing this armless woman, Harper quickly backed on the floor with a horrified look on her face, as though she just saw a ghost.
“IMPOSSIBLE!”
Harper screamed at this armless woman.
“Y–You should be dead already! You should be DEAD!”
A cold and sarcastic smile appeared on this armless woman’s lips as she asked, “Why? Just because you expelled me from Riverside and cut off my wolf claws, then I am doomed to be dead? Sorry to disappoint you but I am perfectly well, Lady Harper, thank you for asking.
Then she turned to the crowd of people and slightly bowed:
“Good evening and thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak out. My name is Angelina, Lady Harper’s former name. I have lived in the darkness and shame for too long. And now it is time for me to clear my own name!
“LIAR!”
Harper straightened her back and roared.
“BITCH! LYING WHORE-”
“Can somebody cloak her mouth, please?” Gamma Glen from Silver Claw Pack rolled his eyes and said, “It is impossible for me to hear the witness’s words.”
“How dare you, you filthy bastard!” Harper immediately directed her target at Glen and shrieked, “You don’t have the right to cloak me! I am LADY HARPER! I am the future Luna of—” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yet before she could finish, Daran casted a cold look at her and ordered his guards, “Cloak her mouth.”
Guards rushed at Harper and clamped her mouth shut. Harper shrugged while staring at Daran with pleading tears in her eyes.
Yet there was not a thread of sympathy in Daran’s eyes.
He looked away from Harper without hesitation and said to Angelina, “I remember you. 2 years ago you came into my room and tried to steal my room key. You admitted to your own crime afterwards. When I sentenced you to expel, you didn’t have any problem with that either. So what happened afterwards?”
Angelina let out a bitter chuckle.
She glared at Harper resentfully and gritted, “I only admitted to the crime that I didn’t do because Harper forced me into it. She said that if I took the blame for her, she would guarantee my safety and reward me with enough money to be spent for a lifetime. Even if I was expelled, she would take care of my family in this pack. But-
“But she changed her mind?” Balvina pursued.
“Yes!” Angelina snapped, clenching her fists. “She didn’t give me no money. She also chopped off my wolf claws afterwards! She chased me out of this pack while my hands were still bleeding. She hoped that the rogues would shred me into pieces! The way, her hands would be clean. And as for my family…”
Angelina choked. Tears had streamed down her cheek.
“Let me guess,” Janet said icily, “Harper didn’t take care of your family as promised.”
“No…of course she didn’t…”
Angelina gritted.
“She was afraid that my family would tell Alpha Daran the truth, so she evicted. them and burnt my house down to ashes!!”
An astonished gasp could be heard from the crowd.
“This is truly astonishing, Alpha Daran!” Glen said to Daran loudly with a stern face, “First she framed her maid, then she tried to frame Alpha Casper. Who knows what else she is capable of in the future? My Alpha is not here tonight. But I think he will agree with me on this.”
Many people nodded in agreement with Glen.
Everyone was now staring at Daran, waiting for his decision.
There was a deep furrow between Daran’s brows. He gestured guards to relieve Harper before asking her in a deep voice:
“Do you have anything else to say now, Harper?”
Tears had strained Harper’s face. She sobbed and shivered on the floor as though she would faint the next second.
“Come on just drop the act! Stop wasting our time!”
Balvina snapped impatiently.
“We all saw how you screamed and yelled moments earlier. And you do remember what you said yourself earlier, don’t you? That you would be willing to have your claws chopped and forehead tattooed?”
Still sobbing, Harper shook her head desperately, “No…you are all lying…I am innocent…That cunning bitch Janet must have colluded with all of you…”
Janet replied to that with a mocking snort, “There is no way for me to pay off Angelina. I just found her by the boarder 2 days ago. And look at her missing claws and tattoo. Those are hard evidence! Look at her, Harper. Do you dare to look at your own victim?!”
“No…Don’t…”
Harper covered her face with her hands, shivering in horror.
“Don’t make me look…I can’t…
Angelina strode forward and looked down at Harper, “You ruined my life, you cold bitch! At least you should have the gut to look directly into my eyes!”
She reached out a missing arm for Harper to see.
Harper dodged in panić. She scrambled awkwardly to her feet and then tumbled again. Sitting on the floor, she let out a horrified scream and started to pluck her own hair.
“STOP! STOP!”
flying to the air.
“OK! I admit it! I DID IT! So just stop…STOP!!!”
The noise in the venue got even louder with Jeff saying loudly in the background, “She admitted it! Alpha Daran, you heard her! What are you going to do?”
Kass added to that in a booming voice as well, “Alpha Daran, don’t forget that it was our Alpha she tried to frame. All members from Blood Moon Pack demand you to take this seriously!”
As the center of attention, Daran slowly raised a hand, gesturing the crowd to quiet down.
Then he turned to Harper, who widened her eyes staring back at him, and said in an icy–cold voice:
“Harper Diaz, given all the crimes you have convicted before, I hereby sentenced you to a sentence of permanent eviction from Riverside Pack—”
