The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0198

ACHILLES' POV. Rhea.

The sound of that name in the red girl's voice keeps ricocheting through my mind like a bullet. Irritation burns through me each time the image of her face flashes in my mind.

She's Ashanti's sister. The one who has been causing troubles for her since the day they both set foot in this pack. My mind is whirled with a dozen different things I could do to punish her.

This was supposed to be an endgame. If Kyle and I didn't pour our hearts out of this investigation to uncover the truth, Ashanti would have been killed.

After the girls called her name, Kyle scouted every CCTV footage and there was the evidence we needed to prove that Ashanti did not poison anyone. I watched the footage of Rhea dropping the poison in the meals ahead. Right now I'm heading to my office to show the evidence to those impatient Alphas so they can divert their attention from my mate.

I'm so relieved her name has been cleared.

"Tell Ronald to get Ashanti out of that dungeon right now. She should be taken to my chambers and attended to by every maid available." I order Kyle who's walking by my side. "Yes, Sir."

"I hope you've come to tell us the girl involved in this is about to get hanged so we can go and watch." The sharp mouthed Alpha Rowan spews carelessly.

"Sit down and be quiet!" I order, without sparing him a glance. Soon, Kyle joins us. I connect the flash to the laptop and carry it to meet them. They've both taken their seats and are quite. " I feel obliged to do this only because the woman involved is very important to me." I say, placing the laptop on the table. Kyle comes over and plays all the tapes in the flash, all of which show that Rhea indeed orchestrated the entire operation. When the final tape ends, Kyle closes the laptop and I turn to face them.

"The girl who was dragged away from the stadium, the formally accused, is innocent. She had nothing to do with all of this. The real culprit is the girl you just saw in the footage. She's now in the dungeon." I tell them in a serious tone. The two Alpha exchange confused glances before looking at me again.

"Meaning the formally accused girl was set up?"

"Exactly."
