Chapter 49: Memory Loss
Jennifer's POV:
After getting separated from my brother, Jerome, I had been missing him every day.
Many years had passed with no word from him.
I had resigned myself to the reality that I was never seeing him again.
Who knew that he would turn up as Anthony's secret guard and Skylar's savior? Maybe this was fate.
My brother and I had been apart for so many years, but I still recognized him.
This man who called himself Dylan was Jerome.
I was sure of it.
However, his reaction was disappointing.
He didn't hug me or look excited to see me.
He was surprised by my outburst, and he shook his head.
"Miss, you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name is not Jerome.I'm Dylan."
"That's right, Jennifer,” Skylar chimed in.
"He told me that his name is Dylan.”
"Dylan..." I murmured the name.
Was I really mistaken? How could two werewolves be so similar and not be the same being? Not only did this Dylan look like my brother, but they also smelled the same.
Werewolves were very sensitive to smells, and I had a keen sense of smell.
How could I be wrong? Before I could interrogate Dylan further, Anthony stopped me.
"Jennifer, let's talk about it later.”
I looked back at him, nodded and dropped my questions.
Maybe Anthony could straighten things out for me.
"Jennifer, the royal family is complicated.You will understand in the future.For the time being, I don't want you to get involved.But now that I know Dylan is your brother, I won't send him on dangerous missions anymore.”
Anthony did not explain further.
He just gripped my hand and looked at me, hoping for patience and understanding.
I stopped questioning him.
After all, I trusted him from the bottom of my heart.
We continued our stroll through the forest.
We talked, kissed and hugged.
We only parted when night fell
Anthony's POV: After Jennifer told me her story, we talked for a long time in the forest.
I did not know that the current Alpha of the Rainbow Pack was a traitor.
To think that I had let his daughter, Ella, stay on Marge Island for so long.
Arthur used to tell the public that the former Alpha, Lewis, and his son, Jerome, both died of an illness.
Because he was the Beta, he claimed to have no choice but to step up to the position as Alpha of the Rainbow Pack.
He said that regardless of how sad he was, he would fulfill the former Alpha’s dying wish.
For so many years, no one had doubted what Arthur said.
He deceived everyone.
Ella was the daughter of a traitor.
She took away everything that should have belonged to Jennifer.
I asked Jennifer about Ella.
Only then did I learn that Ella was hostile and had attempted to kill her many times.
Ella's father was the one who killed Jennifer's father.
For Jennifer's sake, Ella could no longer stay on Marge Island.
I had to find a way to send Ella back to her pack as quickly as possible.
Anyone who had ill intentions towards Jennifer could not be in the same area as her.
Not too long ago, Ella and Skylar had taken on the mission of escorting Sherman
I called all the werewolves and lycan attendants involved and asked them about what had happened back then.
It was Ella who suggested they give up on Skylar.
When Skylar got injured, Ella didn't even try to save her.
She even encouraged their companions to leave her behind.
After conducting an investigation, I called Ella to my place.
She looked uneasy because it was her first time coming to the palace where I currently resided. "Mr.Jones, what can I do for you?"
"When the team returned from the Red Sun Packs territory, everyone came back except for Skylar.” I wasted no time and went straight to the point.
"I have looked into the matter.It was you who suggested that the team should abandon Skylar, right?”
"Mr.Jones, the situation we were in at the time was very dangerous.If we went back to save Skylar, we could have all been killed,"
Ella replied in an effort to justify her actions.
"Silence,"
I interrupted her.
"You don't care about the safety of your companion.You have no sense of team spirit. Werewolves like you are not qualified to stay and train on Marge Island.Leave this instant.If you don't, you will be thrown out.If you have to be forced off the island, I'm sure that both you and your father will lose face."
