Kael’s POV.

Zephyr's expression changed quickly, and he smiled. "Nothing, Kael. Just worried about the situation."

I nodded, but the seed of doubt had been planted. I couldn't shake the feeling that Zephyr was hiding something. Did he send me the letter or does he have something to do with the contents of the letter?

"I'll be back soon," I said to Akira, trying to reassure her. "You're safe here."

She nodded with fear written all over her. I knew she didn't understand what was happening, but she trusted me. And I would make sure she was safe.

As I left the room, I couldn't help but wonder if Zephyr was involved in the incident against Akira. No, I pushed the thought aside. Zephyr was my friend, my ally. I trusted him with my life.

But the letter's words echoed in my mind: "Your biggest threat lies not with your enemies, but with your closest friend. Trust no one."

I would have to be careful, for Akira's sake. I couldn't let anyone hurt her, not even Zephyr.

I walked into the Council c

    ALPHA KAEL’s POV.My eyes narrowed, my mind racing with questions. "What is going on, Zephyr?" I demanded, my voice low and deadly. "Why is your scent here? Why are you holding a dagger identical to the one that killed Kaida?"Zephyr hesitated, his eyes darting to the Council members before turning to mine. "I... I can explain," he stammered."Explain?" I repeated, my voice rising. "Explain why your scent is here. Explain why you're holding a dagger that looks like it was used to kill Kaida. Explain why I should trust you?"Zephyr took a step back, his eyes wide with fear. "Kael, listen to me—""No," I cut him off, my anger taking over. "You'll tell me the truth, Zephyr. Now. No more lies, no more excuses. What do you know about Kaida's death?"Zephyr took a deep breath before he spoke. "I didn't kill Kaida, Kael. I swear it. But... I think I know who did."My eyes narrowed, my knuckles turning white from how hard I clenched my fist. "Who?"Zephyr hesitated, his eyes darting to the Co

    ALPHA KAEL’s POV. "Akira, I think we're dealing with black magic here," I said, my voice soft and gentle as I did not want to scare her. "I think someone used dark forces to control you, to make you do their dirty work." Akira's eyes widened, her face losing its color. "No, Kael, that's not possible. I would have known if someone was controlling me." I sat down beside her and brought her head to my shoulders. "Not if they were using dark magic, Akira. It's powerful, and it can manipulate even the strongest of men." Akira shook her head, her voice trembling. "I don't know what's happening to me, Kael. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I… I feel like I am losing myself.” I took her hand in mine and gave it a soft reassuring squeeze. "You're not losing your mind, Akira. You're a victim of dark magic. And I'm going to find out who did this to you." Akira's eyes welled with tears, and I pulled her into a warm embrace. "I'm so sorry, Akira. I should have protected you better." As

    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

    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 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

    “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.

    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."

    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
