Chapter 108 Finding Him Out

• We all froze. My Aunt abruptly stood up and shouted with all the anger she could muster, her eyes flaming red. “Whaaat?” Not only her but everyone was stunned by the information we just found out. “No way! This cannot be. There is no way that it’s him!” I said as I turned to face the Leo! “How come you never knew about this? Yet you and my father were close?” I asked, not necessarily accusing him but I wondered how he never knew that the very man who had challenged his dear friend had been the same person he banned from Badosa. Didn’t he get to see the challenger or wasn’t he present at the challenge for a man he deemed as his brother?
• “Lucy, I didn’t go to the challenge because I was still mourning the loss of my mate and I had a toddler to take care of,” he said nodding towards Lance, whose eyes reflected pity for me. “I trusted that your father would win. I didn’t expect that loss. Not only losing the challenge but also his life. I never had any interest in knowing who then became King because the family I had been so close to had been annihilated. I had no reason to interfere unless I wanted to cause trouble. I had no strength for that since I now suffered double loss. Knowing that the challenge had been legal, I couldn't interfere with the proceedings,” he said, evidently broken. I guess he was now blaming himself that the results of his action of expelling that guy led to the demise of the people he so cherished. My intention wasn't to make him feel guilty over this so I let go.
• I nodded, agreeing to his explanation. It made sense. I strongly believed that had he known, he wouldn’t have allowed that injustice.King Pontione was visibly angered by this whole matter. He kept switching between growing fur, his canines protruding and his nails elongating as if he was about to shift into his lion Form. His face turned paler!
