Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

Chapter 186 - Revolt

I saw Logan sitting at his usual desk and the stapler he was using slipped out of his hand. I sighed, looking at his clumsiness, and entered the Chief's cabin. "Hey, you cannot roam around like you own this place," Jack said as he followed me inside. 

He took his seat, which was made of fine quality leather and had a neck as well as a backrest on it. I narrowed my eyes at him before moving my gaze around the cabin. It was decorated with two huge plants at the entrance and two chairs in front of the wooden table that faced Jack right now. There was a cupboard with see-through glass at the right and it had numerous files in it. Behind him was a bookshelf that was in the dust, as if he had never used it. 

I pulled one of the two seats that faced Jack and sat down, "I needed some information on a person's case."

Jack creased his brows in anger, "I don't know anything about that go and ask the prison supervisor if you want." He picked up the glass that was kept at the side of the table and drank the half amount of water filled in it, "Logan!" Jack shouted out loud, and the door to the cabin flew open. 

"Y-yes, chief," I did not have to turn to see how he must have stumbled in here. 

Jack slammed the glass of water on the table, "How many times have I told you to keep this refilled? Can you not check on time?" 

"I am sorry, Chief, let me do it right away," Logan rushed his feet to get the glass of water and going out. 

Jack turned to me and the expression on his face was still rigid with anger, "What are you waiting for? I told you I don't have any case details. You better go and check it with the jail supervisor." Logan came back with trembling hands and kept the glass back on the table where some of the water spilled. Jack clicked his tongue and drank another glass before he kept it down. He exhaled, looking at me still waiting there expectantly, "Do whatever you want to sit there. I am not giving you any file." 

I took a deep breath and slammed my hand on the table. The glass of water that was on the edge shook and Jack quickly caught hold of it before it fell and shattered to pieces. 

My eyes were fixated on Jack as I got up and leaned ahead, "You do know that we crossed paths in the court, not to mention, I travelled in the same van as her." 

Jack gulped, looking at me, "I don't understand what you are talking about." 

"That is sad for you," I replied as I turned around and started to make my way out of the cabin. When I opened the door, I turned one last time at Jack, "Still not willing to help?" Jack clicked his tongue and glared at me, but he did not move from his seat. I smiled at him, "No problem, I will get it out one way or another." 

I got out of there and headed outside the police station where a crowd of people was now slowly starting to gather. 

My eyes moved around and all their scowls were directed towards me. I narrowed my eyes at them. The moment everyone's locked eyes with me there was an uproar, "You were the one, weren't you? Why did you not keep close attention during the patrolling?" 

"Yeah, the Chief told us everything and we don't want a traitorous Beta like you," came another voice. 

"You have brought bad luck with yourself!"

"Yes since the time you are in Winterwells, we have been facing attacks!" 

"First it was our Alpha and now the innocent Omegas. Resign from your post!" The voices kept on adding and adding. I tried to get down from one side but a footwear came flying right at me and I dodged it. 

Dandeline was worried right. The people were ready to throw stones. "Wait, listen to me."

But the people were in their own rage and fire, "You are a piece of bad luck, resign from your post. We don't want another traitorous Beta for our village." Slowly the things started to increase that were being thrown at me. I turned to go inside the police station, but Jack was standing right there as he closed the door on my face. There was a smirk on his face and I knew this was all this doing. 

I turned around when a tomato came flying at me and I caught it with my hand. But as I lowered it another shoe came at me and I ducked down. This was going terrible. 

No matter what, I could not go against such a huge public opinion and the way they had cornered me right now was nothing less than bullying. 

When I saw another tomato coming at me, I pulled my hands over my head as I had crouched and closed my eyes, bracing for the impact.

But it never came. 

The voices suddenly died down and there was an odd silence that spread through the crowd. I opened one of my eyes and I felt someone's shadow on me, as if they were standing like a shield. I slowly turned my head to see it was Channing, who was standing with his hands spread out in front of me. "Are you hurt?" He asked me, turning his head slightly. 

"I am fine," I got back up dusting my clothes seeing one shoe print on my overcoat. 

Channing moved ahead towards the people and spoke, "This case is not yet being investigated and I myself will carry out the investigation for it."

"But Alpha, this Beta is traitorous!" came one of the voices. 

Channing raised his hand with a palm showing a sign of stop, "We are yet to determine who is to blame for this. So it is my humble request that you all don't jump to conclusions given by someone who is not working on the case. Whether Selene is guilty or not will be determined after the investigation is over. Till then, do not forget that she is the Beta of this village."

I was slightly taken aback by how Channing did not decide to fight by my side, rather said I was yet to be found guilty. 

It was a little unexpected that Channing was leaving the opinion hanging, but I did not comment on it. It was true that I was not guilty, but having it said that way only gave people the benefit of the doubt, even though Channing was trying to be fair like his usual self. 

There were murmurs in the crowd, as if they did not dare to talk in front of the Alpha. Beta was the second strongest position to an Alpha and no one could direct spite now. 

"Is Waterwoods going to pay for this attack? It has been too much of them waging war on us," an elderly woman asked grumpily. 

Channing clicked his tongue, "We don't know if Waterwoods was involved or not, if I see people jumping to conclusions again on the talks of someone who is not working on the case, I will make sure the person goes to the prison for raising a revolt."
