Chapter 78
Elena’s POV
I kept my cool and stared at Bryson as what I imagined would be Gelnda’s reaction unfolded before me.
“I…” In panic, Bryson immediately shook his head and defensively replied, “I didn’t bring her. She… she followed me.”
I let out a scoff as I looked at him dumbfoundedly. What a coward!
Hearing that, Glenda snarled despite her weakness and clawed Bryson on his arm, but it didn’t go deep and immediately healed. “Don’t lie to me! You let her in… and make me face humiliation!”
She looked at me and growled. “What now? Are you letting the other in and humiliating me even more? Because I’m sure that’s what you want. Isn’t –”
Tired of this ridiculousness, I cut her off, “This isn’t about you, Glenda. This is about the truth. We already had a meeting with James Stewart, Alpha heir of the Moonblake pack and current leader of the Rogues. Peace had been made. It’s time to come clean, Glenda.”
Glenda froze as her hand turned into a fist.
Bryson, on the other hand, stared at Glenda’s trembling body. With hesitation in his eyes, he cautiously asked, You didn’t do it, did you? The death of Kurt? The massacre? The death of those innocent lives? Please tell me you didn’t… Tell me that the marks on you are just all false accusations…”
His voice trembled as he stared at her as if she were a stranger, hands loosening from her cheeks.
Glenda’s eyes shifted between me and Bryson a couple of times before she leaned back and laughed like a mad
woman.
“You…”
Dumbfounded, Bryson hurriedly stood up and let Glenda fall from his arms as if he were disgusted by her touch. He shook his head drastically. With shaking hands, he pointed at her and uttered with disdain, “You really did it? Everything said was true?”
Glenda laughed and wiped off the blood from her lips. She crawled back to the wall and leaned her back on it before looking up at Bryson.
Her face turned serious, and her eyes went dark. “Don’t act like a fuckign saint right now, Bryson. I did it for you, for us! Because of it, you gained glory, so don’t look at me like that!”
“You’re insane! Those are against the principle of war!” he shouted, taking a step back.
“Principle of war?” Glenda laughed sarcastically and shook her head. “This is the real war! We gain and lose something. Who doesn’t have blood on their hands? Everyone had killed someone and caused someone’s grievance!”
I shook my head. I couldn’t believe that she was still trying to justify her inhuman actions. “Ev that shouldn’t be crossed.”
ar had its line
Looking down at her, I coldly added, “Because once we cross that line, we won’t be warriors anymore. We’d be just a murderous beast.”
Titling my head slightly, I narrowed my eyes and said in a calm and low but chilly voice, “Like you…”
“I can’t believe this… I… This can’t be…” Bryson took a couple of steps away from Glenda and leaned on the wall

as if to gain support from it as his legs started to get weak.I… I gave up everything for you… I…”
Couldn’t help it anymore. I snickered. “Finally, you have opened your eyes, I see.”
“Elena…” he suddenly stared at me.
I backed away from the look of regret and realization in his eyes. I uttered those words to provoke him, but I didn’t expect such a look in his eyes.
“Elena… I was wrong. I regret everything. Leaving you, marrying her… all of it,” he suddenly uttered one after another like he had been possessed by something.
“You asshole! How dare you say that while I’m here! Don’t you forget, I’m your Luna!” Glenda shouted, forcing her body to the limit.
I glanced at her, thinking silently. “Now, you must have known the pain you had caused me before when you suddenly entered our lives.”
A cold smile left my lips as I stared at Bryson blankly before speaking with disdain, “Regret won’t change the past, Bryson. You made your choices. Now live with them.”
Bryson stepped toward me with a pleading expression, but before he could speak, a shadow emerged from the door and loomed behind me, making Bryson stand in his place.
“Are you ready to leave? It’s taking so long, so I came over. A breath brushed against my nape, sending electric currents through my body and making the butterflies in my stomach go wild.
I swallowed the lamp on my throat and slowly turned around to face the man who only had his eyes on me despite the many things to be seen in this forsaken room.
Staring at him, my voice softened as I asked, “You came to get me?”
My heart was pounding so hard inside my chest while I got drawn in his eyes that didn’t even look away from mine since he arrived.
“Oh, don’t be like this, Prince Deacon…” I silently thought to myself before slapping my head in my mind and telling myself to wake up from daydreaming.
I thought he wouldn’t answer so I cleared my throat and was ready to change the subject but he suddenly lifted up his hand and tapped my head. Letting out a small smile, his eyes twinkled as he replied in a sweet tone, “What else? Let’s go.”
His hand lowered to my shoulder as he guided me out of the door but we halted when we heard Bryson’s drastic call.
“You’re just going to leave? Just like that? After all of this?” he asked one after another with desperation and frustration evident in his voice.
Without glancing at him, I replied in a steady voice, “I’ve seen enough. There’s nothing more to say.”
Pulling Prince Deacon by the arm, we stepped out of the room, leaving Bryson dumbfounded v Glenda’s scream of remorse.
