Moonlit Betrayal

“We can’t conclude it like that before we get the fingerprint that appeared on the emblem. Perhaps we should wait until the dismembered body is completed before jumping into that conclusion,” Rick said.

Rick’s statement really disappointed me. Maybe I should quickly look for my head instead of having to present pointless evidence in front of Rick.

Two days after my body was found, the forensic team still couldn’t put all the pieces together. However, Rick, as my mate, didn’t think about my disappearance at all.

He instead celebrated his dating anniversary with Lousiana.

Lousiana inquired, "You've seemed quite occupied recently. Are you involved in a significant case?" 

Rick paused momentarily before confirming, "Yes, it's a major case." 

"Is it related to the case involving the dismembered female corpse?" Lousiana asked, showing insight. 

Rick's expression soured and couldn’t help asking back, "How did you become aware of that? We deliberately kept it within our Pack." 

Lousiana appeared uneasy as she responded, "Well, the new case happened near the border, right? Of course, my Pack will not remain silent about it and join in investigating it."

Rick frowned and said, "But this case is being suppressed by my Pack and your Pack members aren’t allowed to come to our land without permission."

Lousiana shrugged and said, "Well, I just heard it on my way here. You know some cases can’t be suppressed for so long, that maybe some people knew about it. 

“Let's not dwell on that bad stuff and celebrate our anniversary, okay?"

Rick nodded, then lit the candle on their cake. After that, they made some wishes and cuddled in their world.

The two of them seemed to enjoy the moment, without knowing that I was there too, just invisible.

Because I was fed up with their behavior, I decided to go around their cottage. It looked small, but was actually spacious enough to be called a cottage.

While looking through the contents, I thought about where the perpetrator threw my head. He was really clever enough to deliberately get the forensics team into trouble. Moreover, why did he die?

Was he killed?

The next morning, Rick got a mind-link from Xavier, so he hurriedly came to the forensic labs.

As the investigation into the brutal murders in Howlton reached its crescendo, Xavier and his team were on the brink of a breakthrough. The pieces of the puzzle were finally falling into place, leading them to a startling revelation that sent shockwaves through the forensic lab.

“I think Alpha Rick should know the result first,” Xavier said, then he tried to mind-link Rick that morning.

Exactly three days after the dismembered body was found, they managed to find out the true identity of the corpse, even though it was without a head.

However, the results not only surprised the forensic team, but also surprised Xavier and the patrol team.

After the mind-link was successfully connected, Rick still didn't know the victim's true identity, because Xavier only told him to come straight to the forensic lab.

Arriving at the forensic lab with me, of course in my invisible spirit form, Rick asked casually, "So, what is the victim's name and what family does she come from?"

"Alpha Rick, you have to promise not to be hysterical," Xavier said a little hesitantly.

"Why? Does she come from an influential family?"

Xavier nodded his head. Yes, indeed, I really come from the Alpha family in the Glorywood Pack, which had a good relationship with Deathwhisper Pack.

"Fine, tell me then."

"Alpha Rick，The deceased is your Mate，Daisy！"

"When she died, you were dating an old flame!"
