*****Alex's POV*****
I walked downstairs to the living room to see Gage waiting for me.
The moment our eyes met, he gestured with his head to come up to my office.
I frowned, but still followed him over to my office. When we got into the office, Gage let out a tired sigh and slumped on the chair.
"You won't believe what I just found out." He said and I raised a brow.
"What?"
He brought out an envelope then handed it to me.
"I don't know why you suddenly asked me to dig this up again, but your instincts were right. Erika never actually hurt Serenity on the day of the moon goddess mate bond dissolving."
Gage suddenly said and I froze. I had been having this sudden urge to actually go through what happened on that particular day, but I pushed down those urges.
I trusted Serenity, but I found it hard to trust Erika. Not until I found out about her true identity as the Alpha of Ironclaw Pack.
So, this is where we ended. I asked Gage to go in search of the truth, even if it's been months since it happened.
"How did you know?" I asked without opening the envelope.
Gage sighed again, he seemed quite exhausted.
"Well, there were CCTV cameras stationed everywhere around the moon goddess' temple too. But for some reason, the clips of that particular day were deleted and never to be found by anyone. I called in a computer expert, but after all the tryings, it still proved futile. So yesterday, I went back to that area to check for anything, even if it was hopeless and stupid to do that. That was when someone came to me."
He paused as if he was telling me some kind of late night stories.
"Who came to you?" I asked impatiently and he explained immediately, "An old lady came to me and informed me that on that very day, she was selling some meat by the side of the road when Serenity stopped Erika from leaving. At first, she wanted to make her presence known, but she went against it and continued observing. She also watched as we all came out of the hall to find the both of them. She said that the moment you began scolding Erika, was the same moment Serenity aimed the dagger at her own stomach." He paused again and I groaned.
"Will you stop pausing and tell me what happened?!" I yelled and he raised his white flag.
"Sorry man, I needed to swallow some saliva, story telling isn't for the weak." He quipped and proceeded.
"So like I said before, the moment you scolded Erika was when she aimed the dagger on herself. Once Erika turned to leave, she stabbed herself and stuffed the dagger into Erika's hand as she screamed."
I blinked at those words.
Serenity? Was Gage joking around?
"Gage, it's Serenity we're talking about, what do you mean she stabbed herself and stuffed the knife into Erika's hand?" I asked in disbelief and Gage sighed.
"Even I found it hard to believe, but there's evidence."
