Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Mandy's POV:

I wanted to wipe the floor with that bitch's arrogant smile.

Did Helen really believe that I would give Daniel and her my blessings? She was either crazy or she

was dreaming.

The smug look on Helen's face infuriated me and I kicked the stones on the roadside to release my

anger. However, my frown was slowly replaced by a smile when I thought of that bottle of perfume I

had just given to Helen.

I couldn't wait to see the results.

After leaving Daniel's house, I went straight to Devin's house, as we had previously agreed.

After all, it was Devin who had asked me to give Helen that bottle of perfume.

"I've given the perfume to Helen,"

I reported proudly, as soon as Devin opened the door.

"Well done!"

A rare smile appeared on Devin's face before he burst into laughter.

"Just wait and see what happens, Mandy."

"I don't care what you do to that bitch, but I hope you're not going to harm Daniel.Are you?"

I asked with concern since Devin's reaction made me feel worried.

After all, I had heard that he and Daniel were at odds with each other.

"Oh, of course not.He is my brother."

Devin brushed off my concerns.

"I just want to teach Helen an important lesson.As long as I am alive, I won't allow a lowly she-wolf to

marry into our family.To be honest, I blame my brother's poor taste in women.How could he fall in love

with a simpleton like her instead of someone like you?"

Devin's words cheered me up.

"You are right, Devin."

I flipped my hair.

"It's been a pleasure working with you.However, will Daniel find out the perfume is poisonous? I don't

want him to think I'm an evil woman."

"Don't worry, Mandy," Devin said confidently.

"I'll take care of everything.After all, I'm Daniel's brother.I know him well."

"May I ask what you have done to that bottle of perfume?"

I looked at him curiously.

"I added poison into it,"

Devin chuckled.

"With each use, Helen will be gradually get poisoned.It may take some time, but in the end, she will die

and no one will know how she dies."

"Oh, that's great! I'll get to marry Daniel after Helen dies.Will you help me?"

I hide my excitement behind a facade of composure as I spoke.

"No problem.Consider it done!"

Devin gave me his word.

"Devin, are you sure that nothing will happen to Daniel?" I asked.

"Of course not.Daniel doesn't have the habit of wearing perfume.He isn't going to use Helen's perfume,

Don't worry about him." Devin tried to close the door.

"Go home quickly.Don't let anyone see us together, or else, they will suspect us."

I nodded and left with satisfaction.

On my way home, I couldn't imagine all the gruesome ways Helen would meet her doom.

Every conjecture brought a smile to my face.

I felt hopeful again.

There was still a chance for me to end up with Daniel. I never expected that Devin would come to me

and offer to help me.

I was wondering how to ruin the wedding of Helen and Daniel when he came to me and told me that he

could kill Helen.

When Devin told me that he didn't want Helen to marry into Black Stone Pack, I agreed to cooperate

with him.

I followed his orders and befriended Helen.

Then, I used their wedding as an excuse to give her that bottle of perfume as a gift.

Everything went on perfectly as expected.

I couldn't contain my excitement.

"Helen, I hope you miss Daniel a lot when you're rotting in hell!"

I just had to be patient for what was to come.

Daniel's POV:

After receiving a call from my mother, I took Helen with me to pay my father a visit.

Although my father was still bedridden, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw him as he seemed to be

doing much better than he did before.

"Dad, look who I've brought to see you,"

I said to my father with a smile. "Helen, you look more beautiful than the first time I saw you.Daniel,

how are the preparations for your wedding?"

My mother walked into the room with a tray carrying two glasses of juice.

"We've bought the wedding dress and wedding rings.The other preparations are coming along nicely," I

answered with a smile.

"Oh, honey, I can't wait to see you and Helen get married."

My mother sat on the chair next to the bed with a smile.

"Daniel, come here."

My father waved at me and I hurried to hold his hand.

"Dad, what is it?"

I said gently. "Daniel, you have to be the kind of Alpha that puts the safety of our pack before his own

life.Only then will your brother respect you.You were always calmer and more thoughtful since you

were young, and that's why I believe that you will make a good Alpha,"

my father said, patting my hand lovingly.

I nodded in response, swallowing the lump in my throat.

"I will not let you down, Dad." I reassured him.

"Alpha Marlon, how are you feeling now?"

Helen stepped forward and asked my father about his health condition.

"I'm feeling much better now.Thank you for your concern, Helen."

My father smiled at her.

"I'm just glad that I will get to see you two get married before I die."

"Please, don't say that.I'm sure you will live a long life," Helen replied sincerely.

"Helen, you are such a kind and sensible girl.Daniel is really lucky to have someone like you beside

him."

My father laughed.

"You two should always look after each other, no matter what happens."

After he exchanged a few words with Helen, my father suddenly started to cough and his chest heaved

violently.

"Dad!"

I stood up and looked at my mother.

"Mom, go and call the doctor!"

Before long, the doctor arrived and he pressed the stethoscope against my father's chest with a serious

expression.

"I am sensing some inconsistencies with Alpha Marlon's heart rate.Please give us the room.We need

to run some tests right away!”

Helen and I helped my mother out of the room as soon as the doctor said that.

The doctor and nurses were inside for more than half an hour.

After a dreadfully long wait, the doctor walked out of the room and told us that my father was fine.

"I'll take care of your father.You should take Helen back home."

As she spoke, my mother took off a necklace from her neck and handed it to Helen.

"This necklace has been passed down to me from my mother.Now I'm giving it to you.I hope that you

will take good care of it."

"Thank you, Luna Betty.This means a lot to me.I will surely cherish it."

Helen expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

We left shortly after as we didn't want to disturb my father's rest.

After we came back to my house, Helen and I stared at each other silently for a long time.

"Daniel, your father will be fine."

Helen broke the silence.

She held my hand and comforted me softly.

"I hope so," I sighed.

Helen could see my distress from the look on my face.

I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened earlier on.I couldn't make any sense of it.

My father was fit as a fiddle for a man of his age.

Why was he suddenly bedridden and fighting for his life? Perhaps, my father's situation was worse than

we had imagined.
