Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Helen's POV: 

Completely stunned by Betty's question, I had no idea how to answer her.I never expected Mandy would deny ever having given me the perfume.

This whole time, I thought that she unintentionally bought a perfume that happened to contain ephedrine hydrochloride.

Just when I thought she was going to clear my name, she further dragged it through the mud.

I felt utterly helpless! I looked up at Betty, only to find that the way she looked back at me was not as friendly as it used to be.

Instead, I saw confusion and worse doubt.

God! At a loss, I warily stepped back.

Even though I didn't mean to, I felt immensely guilty knowing that it was my perfume that killed Marlon.

It was gifted to me, and I happened to love the scent, so I used it all the time.

So, I indirectly killed Daniel's father.

"Luna Betty, I...I..."

I wanted to defend myself, but I didn't know how.I stole a glance at Mandy, who was standing next to me.

Was it just me or did she look like she was smirking? In that moment, I realized I had fallen into a trap.

It all clicked.

I was careless and thought that Mandy had given me that gift because she sincerely wished the best for us.

Little did I know that it was all part of her plan to implicate me.

But why? What was her motivation? Marlon was the Alpha of the pack.

His death benefitted no one and was a huge loss for the Black Stone Pack.

So why would Mandy want to poison him? I couldn't figure it out, and moreover, I had no evidence.

My mind was in a mess.

I wanted to cry, but no tears came.

"Mom, I swear on my life that Helen is innocent.She would never do anything to hurt Dad.Why would she?"

Daniel suddenly stepped forward, standing in between me and Betty.

He slipped his hand into mine, which made me feel a small sense of comfort.

Daniel! Only he trusted me! Despite the allegations against me, he stubbornly stayed by my side.

I was so moved that tears welled up in my eyes.

I wanted to throw my arms around him and simply cry, but I couldn't.
