I Am The Luna

Chapter 0186
I listen to her, not questioning her on anything. Although several of the people present asked her questions occasionally, I am waiting for her to finish.
She’s a good actress, she’s in tears already, rocking in her chair and rubbing her belly.
“Are you finished?” I ask.
“Y-yes…” she says as I motion one of the guards to pass her a tissue.
Once silence falls across the room, sit forward.
“And in your time in confinement, they didn’t even allow you to talk to anyone?”
She shakes her head.
I nod slowly. “You really are an awful mother, Annette, why did you never search for your daughter?”
They both tense before Annette sits up straight.
“I thought she was just upset and needed time. Can you blame me? I never thought something like this would happen.” She says, stroking– An nalise’s arm. “My child went through so much.”

“Hmm, indeed. So, you never tried to reach out to her or talk to her? For three years? Not hearing anything from her did not worry you?”
“I did! I left voice messages, hoping at some point she’ll answer or pick up or even reply to a text!” Annette says.
Bingo.
I smile victoriously as An nalise looks at me suspiciously.

“Yet not once were you able to talk to her…” I say calmly. Victory is mine.
Annette nods and A nnalise pales as she turns to her mom, grabbing her wrist and trying to get her attention.
Oh, she’s caught on…
“I see, three years without being able to meet or talk to your daughter must have been hard, and then knowing what she’s been through.” Annette nods vigorously before I pick up a file.
“Then explain to me these emails, photos, texts, and calls you two made to one another during her apparent kidnapping. I thought perhaps someone may have been replying for her. I mean to make it real, but then seeing all these proves it’s her, and did you forget about these? Luna Annette?” I say as I pass everyone a copy.
I got these thanks to Dad. He had gone through Annette’s computer and managed to find me the proof he needed.
My aim is to free Dad from Annette too.
“Those are fake!” A nnalise screams
“Oh? Then what of the phone calls? Thanks to you letting your mother know exactly where you were visiting, I was able to track down if you were staying in the area and you were. I’m so happy to hear you were not kidnapped. Also, I questioned Alpha Hugh, and he said he spoke to you on the phone a few times. Am I wrong?”
“That…” An nalise looks at her Mom helplessly, almost as if for guidance.
“We know he favours you!” Annette accuses.
“Does he? If records stand for anything, only recently in the last few years have we amended our relationship. However, when I asked him,

he didn’t even know that you had been kidnapped. Why would you keep such a thing from your own father? Please do enlighten me.”
