Chapter 43
After a long pause of silence, a round of loud mutterings broke out in the room. “What did that woman just say?!”
“Alpha Casper raped her? How is this possible! He is an alpha and she is a lowly maid. He can have any woman he wants!”
“But let’s not jump into any conclusion just yet. Look at that maid. She is indeed pretty. And we all have heard about Casper’s affair with Gamma Janet. Seems like that he can be easily seduced by pretty woman.”
All people’s gazes were focused on Casper, who narrowed his eyes at Amy and Harper with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
“You said that I raped you?” Casper snorted, “When did this happen? And do you have any proofs? Let me warn you, young lady, that slandering an Alpha is considered as a serious crime.”
Amy quivered in fear.
The public’s attention made her very nervous. And Harper didn’t rehearse this part of the speech with her. So she started to panic.
Harper took over the conversation at this moment with a shocked look, “Actually, I have heard about this from my maid before…But I didn’t know it was you, Alpha Casper! How could you do this! To a sweet and innocent girl!”
Her voice started to get louder gradually.
And after seeing people nodding to her in agreement among the crowd, Harper took a step further and cried out even more indignantly:
“The thing that I hated the most is for aristocrats and nobles to tramp over the lives of the poor and weak. Yes, Amy is just a maid. And she doesn’t have much power or
money. But this doesn’t give you the right to assault her! Today, I am standing out for her and bringing justice back to our pack!”
More and more people started to look at Harper with approval.
And when she reached to the end of this speech, applause and cheering could be heard from the crowd.
Among the group of people from Blood Moon Pack, Janet, Casper, and Balvina still appeared calm. Yet soldiers like Kass couldn’t stand these accusations anymore. “You better watch your tongue, woman!”
Kass marched forward and gritted at Harper.
“You haven’t presented any proofs yet! It is still too early to accuse anyone of anything. I will not allow you to stand here and slander my Alpha without any proofs!”
Kass’s tall figure casted a huge shadow on Harper’s body. Yet she didn’t seem frightened at all.
Straightening herself up, Harper argued back fiercely, “Or what are you going to do?
Hit me? Slap me? Are men from Blood Moon Pack a bunch of savages who are capable of nothing but assaulting women?”
“Bullshit!” Kass cried furiously.
Harper grabbed Daran’s sleeve hastily and sobbed, “Alpha, you have seen what these savages are like. Please, can you serve justice to me and my maid?”
There was a deep furrow between Daran’s brows.
After casting a dark look at Casper and Janet, Daran turned to look at Harper sternly,
“Harper, you do realize that you are making a serious accusation against Alpha Casper in front of all members and guests from 5 largest packs in the world?”
“Yes, I do!”
“And if this accusation is proven false, even I can’t protect you.” Daran said coolly, “Even so, you are still going to continue with this?”
“Yes!” Harper answered with a firm nod, “Because I can’t stand it anymore! This terrible crime must stop or more women will get hurt!”
Janet chimed in at this moment, “And if this accusation is proven false, how will you
punish Miss Harper, Alpha Daran?”
Harper snapped her head around and glared at Janet, “So you are taking Alpha Casper’s side now Janet? A rapist’s side? I still haven’t forgiven you for betraying the
Riverside Pack, and now you are betraying all women collectively?”
A mocking smile appeared on Janet’s lips as she said, “Until any solid proof is presented, I am not taking anybody’s side. All I am saying is that there should be some sort of punishment for the liar.”
“Fine!”
Harper raised her chin and announced haughtily, “If my words are proven to be lies…I am willing to be expelled from this pack and become a rogue!”
An astonished gasp could be heard from the crowd.
Even Daran slightly widened his eyes in shock.
Getting expelled was a very serious punishment! Some even considered it a stricter penalty than death sentence!
If Harper dared to say this, it must mean that she was one hundred percent sure about Alpha Casper being guilty!
The atmosphere started to get tense. All guests were looking at Casper with disgust now. They had convicted him guilty in their heart already.
Kass and other Blood Moon Pack’s solders exchanged worried looks.
Although they had strong faith in their Alpha, they were still concerned about how this drama would play out.
“Expelling you from Riverside Pack?”
Janet let out a sneer, her eyes gleaming coldly.
“It is so not enough. You should also have your wolf claws chopped off with the word ‘liar‘ tattooed onto your forehead…Like what you did to your former maid, remember?”
Hearing this, Harper’s heart skipped beat.
Although Harper was sure that her plan was flawless, a chill was still sent down her spine when she pictured her wolf claws getting chopped off and her forehead tattooed.
“Are you crazy?”
Harper forced out a smile.
“The maid that you were referring to is a thief. A lowly patrician. But I am a lady. I shouldn’t suffer the same kind of punishment as a lowly patrician did…”
“Oh is that so?”
Janet raised her eyebrow.
“But didn’t you just say that the thing you hated most is for aristocrats to tramp over the lives of the poor and weak? Yet now you are holding double standard when it comes to your own interest. Does that make you a hypocrite, Harper?”
A few people in the crowd jeered.
Daran casted a suspicious look at Harper, making Harper’s face turn pale instantly.
“How dare you call me a hypocrite! You are rooting for a goddamn rapist yourself!” Harper cried angrily, “Fine! If you insist, the I am willing to-
An anxious look flickered across Amy’s face, and she secretly tucked at Harper’s sleeve, trying to stop her from continuing.
Yet Harper ignored her completely and cried out the rest of her words:
“-To have my claws chopped off and forehead tattooed and evicted if my words are proven wrong! Now are you happy?!”
Janet let out a hearty laugh and clapped, “Excellent! Let everyone in this room tonight be our witness!”
“And if Alpha Casper is indeed guilty-”
Harper snapped with her chest rising and falling rapidly in rage.
Our Tapist Alpha should take the same kind of punishment!”
Janet and Casper exchanged a look as Kass blurted out, “No! How can you evict a pack’s Alpha? We will not allow it-”
Casper raised a hand to silence Kass, “Fine. I agree. It is fair.”
“Alpha! This is outrageous!” another soldier cried.
Yet Casper ignored all of them and looked at Harper asking, “Now can we see your proofs?”
“That is right. It is time to present your evidence,” Daran agreed.
“Certainly.”
Harper smiled confidently and nodded at Amy. Amy left the room holding her head down and returned shortly after with a bag of stuffs.
“H…Here are the evidence…”
Amy whispered and took 3 items out of the bags one by one.
“A piece of ragged underwear, a used condom and a dirty sheet which he raped me
on…
11
People looked at these evidences and the room lapsed into silence.
And then somebody among the crowd asked, “But how can you prove that the underwear and the dirty sheet are yours? And the condom…how can we know if Alpha Casper really used it or not? You can’t convict Alpha Casper guilty with these.” “We can run a DNA test,” Daran said coldly. “…to see if there is any body fluid left inside of that condom.”
“It is not necessary!” Harper said urgently.
A DNA test took too long!
She wanted Janet and Casper ruined tonight!
“I have a surveillance footage of Alpha Casper’s soldier giving Amy his room key and tricking her into his room!” Harper snapped, “Let’s see it together!”
She gave a nod to one of her maids, who immediately ran to play the prepared video.
A few moments later, the large screen in the venue lit up. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
But the material started to play was not a surveillance footage, but a recorded audio!
And it wasn’t Casper and Amy’s voice like Harper had thought.
It was Harper’s own voice!
“…I want you to accuse Alpha Casper of raping you in front of everyone…His reputation will stink, and nobody will take his pack seriously…”
The venue lapsed into a ringing silence.
And Harper’s face turned pale instantly!
