Chapter 67

The forceful entrance startled us, and Derick's anger flared as he demanded to know who had barged into our home. Adjusting his glasses, the intruder revealed himself to be the Professor. My face lit up with delight, and I hurriedly embraced him, relieved that he had found his way to our secret location.

"Welcome, Professor! I hope the journey here wasn't too difficult," I exclaimed, my voice filled with genuine warmth.

The Professor smiled, appreciating the gesture. "Not at all, my dear. A little adventure never hurt anyone," he replied, his tone laced with amusement.

With introductions out of the way, Derick and the Professor stood face to face. The Professor's keen gaze analyzed Derick's features, noting the unmistakable presence of an Alpha. "You must be an Alpha," he stated matter-of-factly.

Derick's patience wore thin, and his anger seeped into his voice. "We didn't invite you here to answer your questions. Let's get down to business."

The Professor's expression turned stern, and he asserted his demand for respect. "No, no, no. I will not tolerate any form of disrespect, even from a wolf. You must learn to respect me."

Sensing Derick's escalating fury, I stepped forward, quickly intervening to diffuse the tension. "Derick, please, let's all take a seat and have a civilized conversation. Professor, I apologize for any offense caused. Derick is a strong Alpha, but he's not used to dealing with outsiders like us."

Derick reluctantly acquiesced, begrudgingly taking his seat. The room settled into a tense calmness as we prepared to discuss the reason for the Professor's presence.

Turning to the Professor, I explained our predicament, recounting the treachery of Blake, Mia, and Miranda. I detailed our plan to exact revenge and bring justice to those who had wronged us.

The Professor listened attentively, nodding occasionally as the gravity of the situation sank in. He understood the urgency and the importance of our request.

After a thoughtful pause, the Professor's eyes gleamed with a mischievous twinkle. "I have just the solution for you," he declared, his voice filled with a newfound enthusiasm. "But it will require precise execution and unwavering determination."

Derick's eyes narrowed, his Alpha instincts sensing the Professor's confidence. "Tell us, Professor. What do you have in mind?"

The Professor leaned forward, his voice low and filled with intrigue. "We will harness the power of the blood moon, the celestial phenomenon that grants werewolves immeasurable strength and amplifies their deepest desires. Under its influence, we will create a potion so potent that it will render Blake, Mia, and Miranda powerless."

The room crackled with anticipation. The Professor's plan held both the promise of retribution and the risk of irreversible consequences. We knew that once we set this plan in motion, there would be no turning back.

With a nod of agreement, we cemented our pact. The Professor would prepare the potion, and Derick and I would ensure that the blood moon's influence played to our advantage.

As we delved deeper into the intricacies of the plan, the room buzzed with excitement. We were ready to face the challenges that lay ahead, embracing the darkness to confront the darkness itself.

~Blake Pov~

As I entered the police station, anger simmered within me. How dare they accuse me of framing Derick for Anita's murder? It was clear as day that the person in the video was not Derick, and the incompetence of the police frustrated me. I couldn't help but vent my frustration, muttering under my breath about their lack of investigative skills. An officer overheard my comments and sternly warned me to watch my mouth and show respect.

Suppressing my anger, I decided to cooperate, though I made it clear that I would wait for my lawyer before answering any questions. But upon reflection, I realized that I had nothing to hide, and their questions could easily be addressed. I informed them of my change of heart, expressing my willingness to provide answers.

The interrogation began, and their first inquiry was about my whereabouts during the time of the fire at Mondragon's company. I confidently stated that I was at home, emphasizing that being at my residence had no connection to the arson. However, the officers presented me with CCTV footage showing me in my car, wearing a smile as I observed the calamity unfold. My voice faltered momentarily, realizing the damaging evidence against me.

Undeterred, they continued their line of questioning. "Did Anita ever work for you?" they asked, their eyes fixed on me. I replied without hesitation, confirming that Anita had indeed been in my employment. However, I firmly asserted that her role was that of a personal assistant and denied any involvement in her untimely demise.

The officers exchanged glances, their suspicion evident. It was clear that they considered me a person of interest in Anita's murder. The weight of their scrutiny pressed down on me, and I couldn't help but feel trapped in their relentless pursuit of justice.

As they delved deeper into the investigation, I realized the gravity of the situation. The evidence seemed stacked against me, and the walls of innocence I had built around myself were crumbling. I maintained my composure, searching for any shred of doubt or loophole that could help me navigate through this ordeal.

The interrogation stretched on, with each question and response serving as a small piece in their puzzle. I navigated through their inquiries cautiously, providing explanations and alibis wherever possible. Yet, with each passing moment, the realization set in that this battle was far from over.

As the grueling interrogation wore on, the room seemed to close in on me, and the weight of uncertainty hung heavily in the air. I knew I had to rely on more than just my words to prove my innocence and pin everything on Derick.

As the investigation surrounding Anita's murder continued. I found myself in a constant state of unease, unsure of who to trust and where to turn for support. Mia stood by my side, offering her unwavering support and reminding me that we would find a way to overcome these false accusations.

Together, we delved into another plan that we made the cops been suspicious of me, determined to uncover our plan and expose the real culprits behind Anita's death which we planned. We revisited the crime scene, scrutinizing every detail, placing some evidence that will lead Derick as the real culprit. We make Mondragon's company burnt remnants to held secrets, and we're sure the cops we determined to unlock them.
