Chapter 243 Secrets Always Find Me
Jensen’s POV
My hand was still stinging from the blow had dealt myself.
I was about to end the call when Hansel’s voice crackled through the speaker again.

“Alpha Jensen, there is one more thing. We’ve identified the woman who tried to attack Lurta Sharon at the hospital. The one from the psychiatric ward.”
I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white.
My inner wolf pricked his ears.
“Go on.”
“It was Dr. Johnson’s fated mate,” Hansel said.
The name hit me like a low growl.
Johnson.
* We w
停
The doctor who had supposedly been treating Sharon’s terminal illness.
The man who had vanished into a ravine in a ball of fire just weeks ago.
“Whose mate did you say?”
“Dr. Johnson’s. Diane Johnson. It’s a tragic mess, sir. After the doctor’s car went over the cliff and he was declared dead, not long after, his seven-year-old son fell critically ill. Diane took the boy to Johnson’s own hospital – the very place he had worked for a decade but because she didn’t have enough for the deposit, the administration turned them away.”
“Wait, what?… Then what happened?”
“The boy went untreated, his condition worsened into a crisis, and the doctors say he won’t last the week. Diane found an old phone of Johnson’s with active chat logs… she saw messages from Sharon and assumed she was his mistress. In a fit of grief- stricken rage, she went to the hospital to eliminate the woman she blames for her family’s ruin. This whole thing… it had nothing to do with Natalie.”
The logic didn’t fit.
“How ambiguous could Sharon and Johnson’s messages have been to make a wife jump to the conclusion of an affair?”
I asked, my voice grating between my teeth.
“Sharon was his patient. She was dying of the moon sickness. Why would a grieving widow see a patient’s name and think mistress? Pull Sharon’s chat history with Johnson. I want the raw files sent to my private server immediately.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And another thing, Hansel,” I continued, my brow furrowing

Johnson was a top-tier specialist. A doctor of his rank in the pack makes millions. How could he possibly leave his own wife and son with no money? It’s statistically impossible for a doctor of his standing to be that negligent.”
Something about the narrative felt hollow.
It felt like a staged hunt.
I felt there was more to the story.
There’s always more to the story whenever Sharon is involved.
Hansel sighed.
“That’s true… insurance is common enough. But the boy isn’t actually Johnson’s biological child. He only found out after the mate was finalized. For reasons the neighbors couldn’t explain, Johnson didn’t reject her, but he punished them. He treated both mother and child like intruders in his home.”
“What does Diane do? Is she a member of the pack?”
“Yes and no, Alpha. Diane had no career; she lived off a meager allowance Johnson provided. When the diagnosis came, she was forced to beg. But by then, Johnson was already dead. As for the mistress… Diane knew he was seeing someone. She knew he spent his nights at a high-end hotel with a woman, so when she saw Sharon’s messages pop up on the screen at that exact time; she saw the intimacy in the tone and misunderstood the nature of the treatment Sharon was receiving.”
“Misunderstood?”
My face darkened, my voice turning into a lethal whisper.
Raze was snarling now, his hackles up.
He barely communicated with me nowadays, just growling and howling,
“If Sharon and Johnson were truly innocent, if it was just a doctor and a dying patient, there’s no way a wife could have misunderstood their relationship to the point of attempted murder! Find out. I want every single detail of those messages. I want to know if my mate was paying for medicine or for something else.”
Hansel froze.
The line went silent, but he didn’t hang up.
My chest tightened.
The air in the car felt thin.
“You’ve already found something, haven’t you? You have the logs.”
Hansel let out another long, defeated sigh.
“Alpha Jensen, you’ve known Sharon’s character since we were all pups five years ago. Sometimes… sometimes it’s better for the Alpha’s peace of mind not to dig too deep into the mud.”
My expression grew uglier.
I remembered how, five years ago, Sharon had challenged me to a high-stakes street race.

It was nothing but a stunt to provoke me, to flaunt that her new boyfriend – some rogue was more daring and dangerous than !
was.
Blinded by a young wolf’s anger and a desperate need to prove my dominance, I had agreed.
That was how the accident happened.
That was how I ended up in the wreckage, my ribs shattered.
Sharon had supposedly donated a rib to me afterwards.
But then she had fled abroad, and the rumors followed her across the ocean; whispers of her wild nights in other packs, her reputation being anything but clean,
When Sharon came back five years later, weeping and claiming she was terminally ill with the moon sickness, I had lost my head.
