Chapter 0123 +25 BONUS Desperate to redirect their thoughts , I blurted , David … he said something about my wolf .
I took a breath , trying to steady my voice .
He said that hed poisoned me , that my wolf was gone because of him .
My mothers face twisted with restrained anger .
That rotten little … She cut herself off , her lips pressed together in frustration .
To think I welcomed that man into our home while he was secretly harming my child , my father said , fury blazing in his eyes .
But if he admitted this , and after what happened yesterday , its clear you need to see our pack doctor .
I nodded , not hesitating .
Okay .
I knew it was the only way to ease their minds , and in truth , I wanted answers just as much .
I missed my wolf , who had been silent for so long .
If there was any chance of undoing what David had done and bringing her back , I needed to find out .
In the meantime , we need to decide what to do about David , my father said , his voice laced with determination .
Ive already initiated an investigation , Alexander replied his expression hardening .
The police are involved , of course , but I also have a private investigator on the case .
Its not that I dont trust the officials , but I believe David may be more cunning than they realize .

I agree , my father said .
I want to ensure he doesnt slip through the cracks .
I spoke to my investigator early this morning , as well as with police representatives .
Unfortunately , despite the abundance of evidence , theres nothing at the scene that ties David directly to the attack .
What do you mean ? my mother asked , frowning .
The phone he left was a prepaid burner with no evidence linking it to him , Alexander explained .
The camera was brand new , straight out of the box , with no previous footage to trace back to him .
And he was careful with his fingerprints the only real evidence left is the blood from the injuries I inflicted on him .
While testing could confirm its his , my investigator thinks it wont be enough to charge him .
Why ? my mother pressed .
Given Ellas history with David , my investigator believes that if we accuse him based on blood evidence alone , hell claim we staged it to frame him .
Its exactly the sort of tactic David would use to deflect suspicion .
So what can we do ? she asked , clearly frustrated .
For now , we gather eyewitness accounts , Alexander replied .
There had to be people who saw David with Ella , or at least noticed him fleeing .
Well also check CCTV footage and build from there .
Davids too recognizable for someone not to have noticed him .
He was wearing a disguise , I recalled , thinking of the dark sunglasses and hat .
It wasnt a great disguise , but unless people were paying close attention , they wouldnt have realized it was him .
Not after he fled , Alexander added .
During the struggle , his disguise was left behind .
So theres a chance he was seen , my father said , sounding hopeful .
A slim chance , Alexander agreed , his tone tempered .
We should be prepared for him to deny everything .
As infuriating as it is , even that may not be enough to bring him down .
Silence fell over the room as we all took in Alexanders words .
He was right , and it made my heart ache .
No matter 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0123 what hell David put me through , it seemed that nothing was ever enough to take him down .
It felt almost hopeless .
But I couldnt let myself feel that way .
There was too much on the line .
I had to keep fighting until David was held accountable for his actions .
I had to make sure he was exposed for the monster he is .
