Chapter 89: With my father’s murderer?

Liliana’s wolf form lowered further as Mali Forst approached.

"Liliana, what did you use this time to seduce the Alpha of Pack Draven? Didn’t he investigate your background first?" Mali asked.

Liliana frowned, seeing that Mali had no intention of speaking to her calmly.

"You’re nothing but a weak omega with a weak gray wolf form. I really don’t know how my father could have been fooled by your appearance in the past. How could he have spoiled you and even raised you as his own daughter?"

Liliana shook her head. "Mali, there’s something you’ve misunderstood. I really didn’t kill the Alpha of Pack Forst. He was also the father who took care of me—"

"That’s right! My father took care of you for an entire year after your parents died!" Mali interrupted. "But what did my father get in return, Liliana? Answer me!!!" Mali Forst roared, her wolf’s howl deafening.

"You can’t answer, can you? You and your younger sister even joined forces to poison my father using poison from the human world. Liliana, do you have no conscience at all?"

"Mali, can we talk about this calmly?"

"What kind of calm conversation do you want? Are you going to use poison again? The same method you used to kill my father? Or are you going to rely on the sympathy of other wolves, just as you and your younger sister have always done?"

Mali Forst said nothing more. She immediately leaped high into the air and pinned Liliana’s wolf form to the ground.

The sharp claws on her paws pressed firmly against Liliana’s heart.

"What did my father ever do to you? That’s all I want to know. Give me an honest answer, and I’ll grant you an easy death."

"Mali Forst, the family elders investigated the Alpha’s death back then. Besides, he died while I wasn’t at the residence. I had left with your family elders to go hunting. Didn’t they already explain that to you?"

"Do you think I’ll believe you just because you say so?" Mali Forst smiled coldly. Her sharp claws pressed even harder against Liliana’s heart. "You never expected this, did you? I managed to secure my father’s body. I did it right after the pack elders expelled you."

Liliana was stunned. Her eyes blinked several times.

"Why? Are you scared?" Mali asked with a mocking smile.

"My mother, my brother, and I sent my father’s body to the imperial family back then. Even if that meant disrespecting my father as the pack’s Alpha, so what? Only by making his body an object of study for the imperial family could we discover the true cause of his death."

"Mali..." Liliana said, staring at her in disbelief.

Every werewolf who died within a pack had to undergo a funeral ceremony immediately. Their bodies had to be burned to ashes, and those ashes were then placed in urns and buried beneath the ground within the pack’s territory. This rule applied to every pack member, including the Alpha.

Failing to carry out this funeral ceremony was considered a grave insult. It openly showed that the deceased was no longer regarded as part of the pack.

"Mali, he was your biological father! How could you hand him over to the imperial family to be used as an object of research?" Liliana shouted.

"If I hadn’t done that, tell me, how else could I have found out that my father died in such an unbelievable way?" Mali glared at her. "Liliana, my family treated you sincerely. My father even regarded you as his own biological daughter. I’m truly disappointed in you."

Mali smiled coldly again.

"Who would’ve thought the Moon Goddess would be so fair? She even provided me with the perfect opportunity to kill you."

Slash!

Mali swiftly slashed Liliana’s neck with her sharp claws. She pressed down harder on Liliana’s body with her paws, then bared her sharp fangs, preparing to tear out Liliana’s throat.

Liliana finally snapped out of her daze. She immediately twisted her body, shoved Mali away with all her strength, and reversed their positions.

Blood was still dripping from her neck, but Liliana paid it no attention.

"Mali, how many times do I have to tell you before you’ll believe me?"

"You want me to believe you? Seriously?"

Liliana nodded unconsciously.

In the past, Liliana and Mali had been very close, almost like biological sisters. She had always treated Mali and Valerie equally. Mali had also always treated her kindly back then.

"There’s one way. Do you want me to tell you?" Mali asked.

"Yes," Liliana answered. "Let’s go back to being sisters. Can we still do that?"

Mali’s eyes narrowed. With a swift movement, she twisted their bodies again until she was on top of Liliana.

"Die! That’s the only way I can become your sister again. Kneel before my father’s soul and tell him you’re sorry for everything!"

Liliana shook her head. "Mali..."

Mali had no intention of listening. She used her strength again to tear at Liliana’s already wounded neck, causing even more blood to flow.

Liliana growled when she realized that Mali was truly different from the person she had known in the past. Her attitude even reminded Liliana a little of Valerie, who had also abandoned her.

Liliana twisted her body again, continuing to evade Mali’s attacks.

Mali was momentarily stunned when she realized that Liliana’s strength was not inferior to hers at all. In fact, their strength seemed almost equal, or perhaps Liliana was slightly stronger.

Mali shook her head, trying to dismiss the thought before refocusing on attacking Liliana.

Again and again, she launched attacks without giving Liliana any chance to rest.

However, the longer they fought, the more agile Liliana’s movements became.

The two wolves continued rolling across the ground, repeatedly switching positions as each tried to gain control of the fight.

"Mali!" Liliana finally shouted. "You’ll get hurt if you keep attacking me like this. I might lose control of myself. Please, stop! Let’s talk everything through calmly, okay?"

Mali sneered.

"Talk calmly? With my father’s murderer? Dream on!"

She bared her fangs again.

"Until one of us dies, I, Mali Forst, will do nothing but kill you!"

"No matter what happens, only one of us is allowed to leave this forest alive!" Mali Forst added, her voice filled with determination.
