The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Chapter 55: Some Clues About Alexander 

Peter's POV:

It was a right decision that Alvin and I held off our business trip.I knew that Edward would be up to no good the moment he came out of nowhere.

It was quite obvious that he was using his flirting tricks during Serena's training.While showing Serena how to control things in the air, he touched her hand.I fought the urge to tackle him right then and there.

Now for her water control training, he asked to practice at the swimming pool.

Of course, Edward had to strip in front of everyone, leaving only his small swimming trunks.

Was he deliberately showing off those puny eight-pack abs of his? Did he seriously think he was the only guy who had those? What was wrong with this guy?

He seemed to enjoy all the attention! "Peter, don't you think this Edward has...ulterior motives?" Alvin asked, he was also annoyed.

Even Tessa had come to the swimming pool just to watch the training.

"I agree.I think it would be better if Phillip trained Serena instead," I nodded.

But I figured it would be strange to request this of Phillip out of the blue.

After all, Edward wasn't doing anything too excessive just yet.Alvin's phone suddenly rang.

It was the detective he hired, reporting new clues.

Apparently, Alexander was linked to a nunnery in England.

However, this nunnery only allowed women members inside.

The detective wasn't allowed admittance, so his information was limited.

"Should we visit that nunnery, Peter?"

"Not now.We can wait a few more days."

I didn't think it would be a good time to leave now.I imagined what would happen if Alvin and I left.

Edward would definitely play the tricks up his sleeve.

What if I came back and Serena had completely fallen in love with him? The problem was not at all my lack of trust in Serena.

It was Edward and his affinity for women that I did not trust.

I needed to find a solution.An idea came to my mind like a lightbulb.

There was finally a way to solve this problem.

"Come on, Alvin.Let's talk to the elders and Phillip.We're taking Edward with us on the trip."

"Peter, you are one smart man!" We found Phillip and told him about our investigation trip.

"I'm afraid that if only Alvin and I go there, we won't have enough powers to fight against those wizards.We need someone who knows magic."

"Alpha's right.If we have one more helper, the investigation would be carried out in a safer way." Alvin backed me up.

"Well, if it's one more hand you need, why don't I go with you?" Phillip graciously offered.

"We appreciate your offer, but I think Serena would need you more here.She needs a teacher with your wisdom.Edward would be a great addition to our investigation.What do you think, sir?" I persuaded him.

"Alright.I'll let Edward go with you.He's never been away from me that long, but I suppose it's time for him to gain his own experiences.And don't worry, I'll take care of Serena."

That evening, when Phillip announced that Edward was going with me and Alvin to investigate, no one seemed to object.

But I could have sworn that Patricia looked resentful.

Was she developing feelings for Edward? The next morning, the three of us took a plane to England and drove straight to the nunnery that the detective had mentioned.

I scanned the surroundings.

The nunnery was located at the foot of a mountain, and guarding the gate was a tall man.

Actually, tall was quite an understatement.

This man could have been considered a giant, like the character Hagrid from Harry Potter.

As soon as we arrived at the gate, he walked up to us with an intimidating expression.

I considered myself to be very tall, but compared to this guy, I looked tiny and only reached half his height.

"No men allowed here!" the giant roared the second he saw us.

"Listen, you'd better get out of here now, or I'll call the police on you for trespassing."

We politely explained that we wanted to ask about an urgent matter.

However, the doorman still remained indifferent to us.

We had to see the leader of the nunnery.

But no matter what we said, the doorman continued to refuse our entry and would not even inform the leader of our visit.

After futile attempts, the three of us walked back to the car with our shoulders slumped.

"What are we going to do now, Alpha?"

"We need a woman to negotiate with him.Do you have any special female friends from this side of the world, Alvin?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Alright, then you're going to have to suffer for a while, buddy."

I patted Edward’s shoulder.Mischief was my main motivation for making this task for Edward.

It was just a bonus that we truly had to do this for the investigation.

"What? What are you talking about?" Edward's face was full of confusion.

Alvin looked at me and immediately understood.

"Good idea, Alpha.That's going to save us a lot of trouble!" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

I took out my phone and searched for the nearest shopping mall before asking Alvin to drive us there.

Alvin parked outside a fashion boutique for women.

"What are we doing here, exactly? Do you have an acquaintance we're going to meet here?"

Edward raised his eyebrow.

Alvin and I hopped out of the car and motioned for Edward to come in.

"Wait...Do you want me to pretend to be a woman?!"

Edward's eyes widened as the realization finally hit him.

"Yes, that's all we can do for now.Peter and I can't possibly pretend to be women, don't you think? We're much too tall.Even with the best clothes, we won't be able to convince that doorman that we're women!"

Alvin reasoned.

"Oh, God.Fine, fine! This is going to be the first time I'm ever going to do this.Do not tell anyone at all."

"We promise not to tell anyone, buddy.Don't worry.Now, come on.Quit stalling."

Alvin pushed him into the dressing room.

Thirty minutes later, Edward finally stepped out looking like a teenage girl in his new outfit and wig.

We then drove back to the gate of the nunnery.

"Try to speak in a woman's voice, okay?"

Edward practiced speaking in a low and slow manner.

It was convincing enough for that doorman.

Edward stepped out of the car and said a few words to the doorman before going inside.

A few moments later, the doorman signaled for us to enter, too.

Although he was still angry with us, he allowed us inside.

When we had arrived at the main hall, we spotted a nun that looked to be around sixty years old.

We assumed she was the leader of the nunnery.

At this time, Edward's wig had already fallen off.Some young nuns pulled at him and made fun of him.

Clearly, Edward's disguise had been exposed.

Immediately, the old nun instructed everyone to leave.

Even Edward was dragged out by the other nuns.

"You should not have come here.This is a sacred place, you know." The old nun blankly stared at us.

It was clear from her expression that she knew we were not humans.

Werewolves were not always known to be evil, but they were supernatural creatures compared to humans.

"Ma'am, we come in peace.We only came here to ask you about the wizard Alexander."

Hearing Alexander's name, the old nun's face stiffened.

A complicated expression appeared on her face.It was a mix of pain, resentment, and sadness.

"Why are you asking about him?"

"He has kidnapped a lot of werewolf and vampire children.We discovered that he is experimenting to create a hybrid of werewolf, vampire, and wizard blood.We must find him as soon as possible."

Disgust and rage was written all over the old nun's face.
