Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 254

Devin's POV:

Anthony's presence ruined my plan.I didn't expect that Helen was connected to so many powerful people.

When she was released from prison thanks to them, I felt that things were going downhill— fast.I also knew Mandy was a complete and utter fool.

When I realized that Anthony was going to interrogate her, I was worried that she would say or do something wrong.

Sure enough, this she-wolf met my expectations and actually had the gall to hit Helen.

As if that wasn't bad enough, she had the audacity to shove the future queen to the floor.

Mandy! How could there be such a stupid she-wolf in this world? I nervously watched this scene unfold before me.

Things were quickly getting out of hand, but I had no idea what to do about it.

"He's the murderer!"

Just as I was racking my brains to find a solution, Mandy suddenly pointed an accusatory finger at me.

God damn it! This fucking she-wolf! She was a brainless idiot!

"What?" Helen asked, eyes wide as saucers.

"What did you say?"

"Are you saying Devin killed his own father?" the Luna of the Rainbow Pack chimed in.

Mandy's sudden accusation collapsed my house of cards.The hall broke into an uproar.

"No, no, she's lying!" I hurriedly denied, holding up my hands innocently.

"Devin, what should we do?" Grace asked me point- blank.

"What?" I stared at her, dumbfounded.

Her reaction made me so angry.

How could she be so stupid? She was practically giving us away! 

"We didn't do it!" I said again, shoving Grace behind me.

I was surrounded by not just one, but two stupid she- wolves.I wanted to go crazy! 

"Devin, please explain yourself."

Anthony's stare was bone-chillingly cold.

"Did you give the perfume to Mandy?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about! Mandy and I aren't that close.Why would I give her a bottle of perfume? She's not my mate! I would only ever give perfume to Grace."

I did my best to disassociate myself with Mandy.If I admitted the truth, I was doomed.

"Please, Mr.Jones.I'm Marlon's son.How could I possibly murder my own father?" I said, forcing a smile.

"He gave me that perfume, saying it would poison Helen.I was so jealous of her relationship with Daniel that I agreed.I had no idea that this bottle of perfume would kill Alpha Marlon!"

Mandy shouted in a shrill voice.

"Mandy, what on earth are you talking about? She is mad!"

I was so angry that I wanted to pounce on her and clamp her mouth shut.

"Stop him."

Seeing that I was slowly backing away, Anthony ordered his guards to subdue me.

Two guards quickly grabbed me and held me in place.

"I thought about it for a long time and figured that Devin was lying to me!" Mandy continued relentlessly.

"When I found out that it was Alpha Marlon who died and not Helen, I guessed that Devin had an ulterior motive.I felt that something was off when Luna Betty started asking me questions.But when I was in prison, Devin came to me personally and threatened to kill me if I told the truth.That was why I lied! Please forgive me, Mr.Jones.I didn't mean to hurt Alpha Marlon! Devin just used me.He wanted Alpha Marlon dead but put the blame on Helen and me!"

Mandy's voice grew louder.

"Moreover, I know that Devin always wanted to be the Alpha! Everyone knew that Daniel was going to become Alpha upon marrying Helen.That must be why Devin murdered Alpha Marlon! That way, he managed to postpone the wedding and Daniel's ascension to Alpha!"

"What?!"

The hall broke into chaos again as they mulled over Mandy's accusation.

As everyone looked at me with shock and disgust, I was at a loss.What should I do? Mandy told them everything.

And she even managed to put two and two together, deducing that I did all these things to become the next Alpha.

How did she figure it out? Was this she-wolf actually smart? But I couldn't just give up.I had come too far! 

Daniel's POV: When Mandy finally admitted the truth and shifted the blame to my brother, I was completely stunned.
