Keiran’s POV. I stood up from the couch, my eyes fixed on the guards as they searched my house. My anxiety only got worse with each passing second. After Kael left, the guards seemed to double their efforts. I knew I had hidden all the things that would be of help to them, but I still could not help the fear that slowly took hold of me. What if they found something that I carelessly left? And why did Kael have to excuse himself for some time? Where did he go? I thought back to the moment Kael entered my quarters, his eyes scanning the room as if he knew what he was searching for. But what did it mean to him? And why did he have to speak with Akira afterward? In private, no less. My mind raced with questions, each one more unsettling than the last. I didn't like being in the dark, not when it came to things that affected me directly. And this... this was something big. Why would Kael side with me and refuse to search Zephyr only for him to give an order that I should

KAEL’s POV.“None of your business.” I hissed at Keiran and turned to leave his quarters. “Where to my king?” A guard who escorted me asked.“Miya’s,” I replied. Seconds turned into minutes and soon the chariot stopped in front of Lyra’s house.“You can go back,” I said dismissing the guard, who bowed his head and turned to leave.I knocked on the door, and a soft voice called out, "Enter." I pushed open the door and stepped inside. Miya’s house was dimly lit, the air filled with the scent of herbs and smoke."Kael, what brings you here?" Miya asked, her eyes gleaming in the dim light. She sat behind a cluttered desk, surrounded by strange objects, carvings and a pot situated in a corner of the room sizzled and hissed."The murder case," I replied, taking a seat across from her. I pulled out the picture from my pocket and placed it on the desk. "I need your help on this."Miya's expression turned serious as she picked up the picture. "A photograph... of Kaida." Her eyes scann

“Only one way to find out,” I replied as I led Akira out of the chambers and took her to Keiran’s quarters.I stood outside Keiran's quarters, my eyes scanning the area. The toughest guards in the pack surrounded the building, their faces stern. Zephyr and Akira stood next to me, their eyes fixed on the entrance. The council members stood behind us, their whispers and murmurs reaching my ears"Let's get this over with," I said, pushing open the door.Keiran walked in and sat on a couch, his eyes blazing with anger. "This is a waste of time, Kael. You won't find anything. You are wasting time.”I ignored him, my eyes scanning the room. "Search every inch of this place. Leave nothing untouched. Check everywhere and the minute anything is found, bring it to me.”The guards moved swiftly, their hands searching every corner.As the search began, my mind drifted back to the events that led us here. Akira's accusations, Zephyr's suspicions, and Keiran's weird behavior. Somethi

AKIRA’s POV. I stood my ground, my heart racing with frustration. "Search Zephyr," I demanded, my voice firm. "He's always lurking around when the juicy things happen, and I don't trust him. I want him to be searched.” Keiran sneered at me. "You can't just accuse someone without evidence, Akira. Zephyr has served this pack faithfully for years. He's earned our trust. And you are just a little lady who came in barely months ago and you want us to suspect our own for an outsider?” "I don't care about his past," I snapped. "I care about what's happening now. And I think Zephyr knows more than he's letting on. After all, he did claim to see the dagger in my room?” Kael stepped forward, his voice calm. "Akira, I understand your concerns, but Keiran is right. We can't just search Zephyr without a good reason. We need concrete evidence before we take such drastic measures. He holds a responsible position in this pack and I am afraid such an accusation or demeaning act such as searchi

KAEL’S POV I stood in the council chamber, my eyes locked on Zephyr. "I want to know what Zephyr knows," I said, my voice firm. Keiran raised an eyebrow. "Zephyr has already told us what he saw," he said. "Akira and Kaida arguing just hours before Kaida's body was found." I turned to Zephyr. "I want to hear it from him again," I said. "Zephyr, tell me exactly what you saw." Zephyr nodded, his face void of any emotion. "I saw them arguing at the back of Akira’s quarters," he said. "Akira was furious, and Kaida was... well, Kaida was being her usual self mad and taunting.” I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" Zephyr cleared his throat before he spoke again. "You know how Kaida was, always causing trouble and arguing with Akira. But Akira... she was different. She was angry, but she was also agitated." I frowned, intrigued. " agitated or scared ?" Zephyr shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but I could sense it. And then, just hours later, Kaida was dead." I nodded, my mind

AKIRA’s POV. I sat on the edge of Kael's bed, my mind reeling with thoughts. How did things go so wrong? One moment, I was defending myself against Kaida's harsh words and accusations, and the next, I was accused of murdering her. I knew I was innocent, but no one seemed to believe me. I massaged my temples, trying to get rid of the headache that was coming. I had been in a trance-like state, and when I finally woke up, I was accused of being a murderer. I didn’t even step out of my room that day, then how can I possibly kill her? The last time we met, we argued about the wrongs she and Keiran were doing but I did not kill her! "Akira, you need to eat," Kael said, his voice soft and gentle. He placed a tray of food in front of me, but I pushed it away. "I'm not hungry," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Kael sighed and sat down beside me. "You need to keep your strength up. You don't know what's going to happen next. The council has some dumbasses that are after
