Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

Chapter 179 - Ellie's True Identity

Channing stared at me in shock as to how I had figured it out. He shook his head, but no voice came from his mouth. I let him have his time and called Dandeline towards me. I folded the letter in my hand and handed it to her, "Change the contents of the last paragraph and burn this original one. Make it fast."

Dandeline nodded and ran away to find herself a secluded place for writing a new copy of the letter. I was feeling better now with the blood being replenished in me. 

"Did you meet her?" Channing questioned me suddenly. In a way, that name was forbidden. 

I nodded as I turned behind to check what the paramedics were doing and back at Channing, "Yes, during my time in prison. She was a handful, I will give you that." Channing set his lips in a thin line, not know what to say to that. I knew what he would say next, so I spoke up before he opened his mouth to apologise, "Don't, it is not your fault."

A faint smile appeared on Channing's lips, "Still, I am sorry you had to face her."

I rolled my eyes, "You wanna keep going on your own ways now." 

Channing shrugged with a sheepish smile that replaced the previous one, "I am an Alpha, can't really go with other's demands." I huffed a peal of gentle laughter. It made me remind of the very exact problem that Fang and I face with each other. We were both Alphas and if I ever got a chance, I would ask the Goddess herself on why was I granted such an unusual mate. Because usually an Alpha is always paired with its counter half and that would be an Omega. 

I closed my eyes to dismiss that thought from my mind and came back to the present, "Did you meet her in court the last time?" 

Channing's face immediately contoured, "What court?" 

"She was brought to the court along with me," I replied in a tentative voice. I found it odd that Channing wasn't aware because Zelda was carried by Chief Jack to the same lobby where Channing was waiting with the lawyer, "You did not meet her that day?" 

Channing took a deep breath before snapping from his thoughtful state. He shook his head, "No, who brought her there?" 

"It was the Chief of course," I replied casually, "Why?" 

Channing snickered, "So my doubts were right." 

"About Jack?" I asked, a little confused. Even I would consider the man on the list of culprits any day because of the way he used to behave, but here I did not see the logic apply. Zelda was brought to the court for a proper trial, as I know, and Chief Jack was only doing his duties as he was doing with bringing me to the court. Nevertheless, Jack did not look like he had the balls to execute big plans rather, he was someone who would support someone with it. 

Suddenly, we heard the police van siren and my eyes widened at Channing, "You called them in?" 

Channing shook his head and hastily held my shoulder to speak, "Look don't say anything in front of Jack, let us see how their plan unfolds because Zelda was not supposed to get out of prison till orders from me were issued and I did not get her out. There is something very fishy here." 

I nodded my head, "Got it. Please hold the police off till Dandeline brings the letter back." I initially planned to get my hands on the culprit with the letter, but seeing Channing was with me, I felt at ease that I would have someone who would stand for me. 

"Okay," Channing quickly agreed as he left my side to go near the police van. 

My eyes searched for Dandeline when I saw her behind a tree. I hoped she was going good because it would take her time to copy the handwriting and, along with that, the tone of the letter. I hoped Channing could hold Jack off for enough time. In the next few minutes, Dandeline was done, and she emerged back holding just one folded piece of paper. 

Approaching me, she handed the chit to me, and I reopened it to go through the contents. A small smile formed on my face, seeing the new letter as I folded it back, "Good job. Where is the previous one?"

"Burned," came the simple reply from Dandeline. 

"Good," I said, "Go inside and place this in Sam's pocket properly concealed." It was important that the trap was set back in its place to work. I moved to a side and Dandeline climbed up the ambulance and did what was asked of her. She engaged in a small conversation with the paramedic and tugged the piece of paper back in Sam's jeans pocket. 

She returned crouching down inside the ambulance to come face to face with me, "Should I check for Suzan's clothes as well?" 

"Yes, make it quick," I replied as I realised how big of a problem it would be if the same note was placed in everyone's clothes. Dandeline gave one nod and went to check through Suzan's clothes, who was now covered because she was sleeping there in a bra as her t-shirt was flooded with her own blood. 

Dandeline returned quickly and sat by my side before shaking her head. 

There was no need to converse anymore when I knew Jack was on his way here to check on the scene. Speaking of the devil, he turned the corner of the ambulance and came to stand in front of me.. He scorned, looking at my face and I wanted to do the same, but I did not have the energy to waste on his pitiful face. Channing came from behind Jack and before anyone could say anything, Jack questioned, "And why are you on a blood bag?"
