“Trey? What do you think you're doing? Are you insane?” Scott asked him as he rushed to Megan who was still on the floor.

He carefully helped her up and watched as she dusted her clothes with her little handkerchief. When she was done, he faced Trey.

“How dare you, Trey? How dare you come to my house and harass my guest? Huh? How dare you?” Steve angrily yelled at him.

“I'm sorry, man. I came looking for you and she said you weren't in. I thought that-” He tried to explain himself but Steve wasn't having it at all, he cut him off.

“And you couldn't call me before coming? What do you have a mobile phone for? For decoration or for what?” He questioned.

“I tried to do that, but your line wasn't connecting. In fact, I called you countless times but I still couldn't reach you.” Trey explained but Steve wasn't interested in what he was saying till he spoke again.

“You know, for a moment, I thought you were intentionally avoiding me. I could have sworn by the moon goddess that you intention

    Megan screamed in shock as she saw what had just happened, while Trey curled up into a ball as he winced in pain on the floor. People who had been watching the whole drama from afar soon began to come closer.“Oh my goodness, are you okay?” Megan asked as she crouched beside Trey who was bleeding from his nose and mouth.“Ahhhhhh.” Trey kept screaming as he held his face in his hands.Megan turned to look at Steve who was still glaring at Trey like he still wanted to tear him apart.“Steve, we need to take him to the hospital. He is bleeding so much.” Megan said, panicking, but he didn't budge.“You can take him to the hospital or anywhere, I don't care about this bastard. He got what he deserved.” Steve said and angrily walked off into the house, leaving Megan and Trey outside.As Steve opened the door and entered the house, he shut it behind him and rested his head on the door, facing it as he thought for a moment but as he turned around and was about to make his way into the room,

    “Who is there?” Steve asked as he approached the door but he got no response.He sighed, closed his eyes for a brief moment, and gradually opened the door. And as he slowly opened the door, the door was suddenly pushed in and Megan barged in.“Yo! Calm down.” Steve exclaimed, a bit relieved as he watched her go in, while he still stood at the door.“Why did it take you so long to open the door?” She asked him, frowning.“Well, I didn't know it was you at the door since I didn't think you'd get back so soon.” He answered, shrugging.“What do you mean by that? Were you expecting me to sleep in or start living in the hospital?” She said, with a bit of sarcasm.“I don't know, you could have decided to.” He replied with sarcasm too and she glared at him.“Who were you expecting though?” She asked, suddenly remembering that he said he wasn't expecting her to return so soon.“Anyone else, but you.” He replied with furrowed eyebrows, after which he locked the door and walked into the living r

    “I'll be right behind you.” Megan said to him as he walked towards the door, but Steve shook his head and refused.“Don't! I already have an idea of how the whole thing will pan out and I don't want you there.” He said to her firmly, and she nodded as he calmly opened the door and without questions, followed the guards who had come to pick him, while Megan watched as he was being taken away.As they left, Megan sighed and went back into the house. She dropped herself on the sofa in frustration and worry as she stared into thin air, that she didn't notice that Veronica had come out of the room.“What do you think is going to happen to him?” Megan whispered beside her, startling her and she jerked back to reality.“I scared you, didn't I?” Veronica asked.“Uh, yeah.” Megan answered softly and Veronica sighed.“I'm sorry.” Veronica said. “How do you feel?” She asked her.“Honestly, I don't know how I feel. I'm just kind of scared and frustrated.” She confessed and Veronica sighed again.

    “What?!” How is that possible? How did that happen?” Alpha Marcus asked him, with eyes wide open in shock.“I have no idea, Alpha.” The guard responded, as he finally gained balance.“What could have caused this? Who could be behind this?” Alpha Marcus asked, turning to Beta Richard, who was also in shock.“I have no idea, Alpha. I'm as confused as you are.” Beta Richard answered him.Right then, Beta Richard’s phone rang and he immediately pulled it out of his pocket and answered the call.“Yes?” He said and he answered.“Oh, really?” He asked the caller and continued, “I'll be right there.” He said and the call ended.“What is going on?” Alpha Marcus asked him, “Who was that?”“I just got a call from Lily. She is at the site of the fire.” He answered and put his phone away.“And?” Alpha Marcus pressed urgently. “Does she have any information yet? Anything at all about what started the fire or if there are any casualties?” He asked impatiently, his voice laced with concern and his to

    “No way!” Beta Richard exclaimed in shock, “Why didn't you say anything earlier? Why wait until now?” He asked the man.“I didn't know….” The man cried out.“You didn't know what?” Beta Richard asked him, getting impatient.“I didn't know that the fire was going to keep spreading rapidly.” The man replied and Beta Richard shook his head in disappointment. “The chemicals are used in the production of our products but they are flammable in their uncombined state.” The man said, adding more details.“So what do we do now?” Beta Richard asked, turning to the incident commander(IC), his eyes searching for reassurance as the sound of cackling flames and shouting firefighters persistently filled the air.“Exactly, what do we do, IC?” Beta Lily pressed, her voice laced with concern, as she glanced towards the burning building, her eyes squinting through the smoke. “We have to do something as soon as possible to avoid a greater calamity.” She added.The incident commander nodded thoughtfully,

    “A highly flammable oil was used in one of the stores in the market,” The firefighter revealed, holding up the charred remains of a burnt can of oil for Beta Richard to examine. “That was what set the place on fire and the fire quickly spread to other places because there were fabrics, books in the library, planks and other materials which aided its quick spread.” He continued, explaining carefully to Beta Richard and the others.“Hmmmmm!” Beta Richard sighed, “But how are you sure that it was a deliberate act?” Beta Richard asked him, his brow furrowing in concern as he scrutinized the can of flammable oil in the firefighter's hand.“Sir,” the firefighter continued, “this type of oil is very rare and can't just be found in any pack.” He explained, his voice filled with certainty, as someone who definitely knew what he was talking about.“It is usually imported and only available on specific orders due to its high tendency to explode even at the slightest spark.” He paused and checked

    “Megan, please talk to me. What is going on?” Veronica asked as calmly as possible even though she was completely scared and her anxiety was shooting through the roof. Her heart, racing with every passing second.She wished Megan had put the call on loudspeaker, so she would have heard the whole conversation with her dad and there would have been no need for her to start asking questions from Megan, who was now looking so devastated with tears welling up in her eyes.But at the same time, she understood that it was a conversation between a father and his child and it should be somewhat private. So she respected her privacy.As Megan began to cry, Veronica became so confused, not knowing what to do or what words to say that wouldn't complicate the present situation or worsen it.“Megan, can you please talk to me? What did your dad say? Is Steve fine?” Veronica kept asking, her voice filled with concern but Megan just kept crying, her cries getting louder.Crouching in front of Megan an

    “Are you sure about this, Richard?” Alpha Marcus asked Beta Richard who nodded positively.“I'm positive. From the evidence found at the scene, I'm very sure that it was a deliberate act.” Beta Richard spoke with confidence. “The oil that was found was placed strategically. The fire was set on the floor where there were fabric stores and food stores, knowing well how often the food stores used matchsticks. There are also book stores on that floor.” Beta Richard explained carefully.“Hmmmmm!” Alpha Marcus mused as he thought deeply about it.“So there was no way it wouldn't have happened with all those stores filled with materials which could start a fire and help it spread quickly.” Alpha Marcus said and Beta Richard snapped his fingers.“Exactly, now you get it.” Beta Richard said to him.As soon as he got to the palace from the fire scene, Beta Richard had informed Alpha Marcus of everything that happened and all the information that he had been able to gather but Alpha Marcus was f

    Veronica sat motionless in front of the expansive mirror in the room, her gaze fixed on her reflection, as she remained lost in her thoughts.A pair of scissors lay poised in her hand, while a plastic container sat on the counter in front of her, which contained liquid contents, which she glanced at intermittently.“Is that a pair of scissors I see in your hand?” A voice asked, snapping Veronica out of her thoughts. She immediately turned to see Beta Lily standing at the door.“Don't tell me you're trying to chop off that beautiful long hair of yours.” Beta Lily added, sounding a bit alarmed as she walked in.Veronica smiled weakly, and nodded as she said, “Yes.”“What? Why?!” Beta Lily exclaimed. “Your hair is so beautiful already. Why do you want to cut it?” She asked again, displeased.“Well, I'm not cutting it all off. I just want to make it shorter.” Veronica answered. “That doesn't answer the question of why you want to cut it in the first place.” Beta Lily said with a frown,

    “No way.” Everyone in the room muttered, unable to believe what they were seeing.Each person had different expressions on their faces. Some were shocked that Trey could actually try to take advantage of Veronica at her own party, while others were shocked at Veronica's ability to slam him against the wall without having to do too much. But one thing was common in their expressions, and this was the fact that they were all completely shocked, and dumbfounded.On that day, Trey had slipped into the room before Veronica, and set his phone in a corner where she wouldn't see it. So, while he was saying he was going to make a video of them to send to Steve, he was recording the video all along without Veronica's knowledge.Watching the video again, Steve could not quantify the anger he was feeling towards Trey, even though he was dead and not among them. He clenched his fists, wishing that he could set his eyes on Trey one more time and give him what he actually deserved.“I can't believe

    Steve drove at top speed to the palace. If it was possible for him to use some mysterious magical power to get to the palace instantly, he sure would have done that just to get to the palace in the shortest time possible.Getting to the palace, he didn't wait to shut the door of his car before dashing into the palace. He was on his way to the inner court, where his father was having a meeting with some council members, when he heard his name.“Steve?” Beta Richard called as soon as he saw him, before he entered the court. “Hey, where are you rushing to? Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you. I've also called you countlessly, but all to no avail.” Steve was yet to answer when Beta Richard noticed what he was wearing.“Whoa!” He exclaimed. “What is this you're wearing?” He asked, looking quite confused. Steve checked himself and it was then that he realized that he had left Veronica's house in a haste and he didn't remember to take off the forensic gear, which was given t

    Frustrated and devastated, Steve finally headed out, after seeing that him waiting for an extra fifteen minutes after everyone had left, wasn't yielding any results. As soon as he got outside, he just kept walking absentmindedly.“Steve!!!” Megan called out to him, snapping him out of his thoughts.“Oh, you're still here?” Steve asked, a bit surprised.“Of course, I am.” She answered.“I didn't know. I thought you had left with the others.” Steve said as he looked around, noticing that the rest had gone home.“And why would I do that?” She asked, smiling cutely, but this didn't sit well with Steve.“And why shouldn't you do that?” Steve responded sharply, his expression unwelcoming. Megan's smile vanished immediately.“Anyway, I was waiting for you.” She said, not minding his cold attitude towards her.“Why?” He inquired coldly, as he slipped his hands into his pockets.“I was hoping I could go home with you.” She answered.“I don't think that would be possible.” He said, plainly.“

    The air was heavy with tension as Elder Raymond stormed in, his face twisted in grief and rage. His eyes, red-rimmed from lack of sleep, scanned the room until they landed on Veronica, who now stood frozen, her hands clasped together in front of her. At the sound of Elder Raymond’s angry voice, she had sprung to her feet.The moment he saw her, Elder Raymond charged at her, his heavy boots echoing off the marble floor. “You!” He bellowed, his voice, sounding like thunder. “You killed my son!”Veronica shook her head vigorously as he charged at her.Beta Richard quickly stepped forward, shielding Veronica from Elder Raymond’s attack. The guards also moved swiftly to restrain Elder Raymond, but he struggled against them, his face purpling with rage.Seeing what was going on, Megan and the rest of their friends scurried off to a corner.Alpha Marcus sprung up from his throne, his voice authoritative as he spoke. “Elder Raymond! What is going on? What is the meaning of all this?!” Elde

    As soon as the warrior guards got back to the pack, Veronica was dragged before the Alpha in the court.“We found her, Alpha.” Captain Jake announced, pushing Veronica forward. She missed her steps and fell to the ground in front of Alpha Marcus, and Beta Richard.“Has she confessed yet?” Alpha Marcus asked, and Jake shook his head.“No, Alpha. She has not confessed. She claims she is innocent.”“Is that so?” He inquired, and Jake nodded affirmatively.Alpha Marcus’ eyes fell on Veronica, who was still on the floor, her face buried in her hands as she cried silently.“So, you have refused to confess after everything?” He asked her, his eyes blazing with fury.“I… I’m innocent.” She managed to say, her voice, cracked from screaming and crying all the way to the pack from her hiding place.Right then, Steve, Megan, Sam, Linda, Madeline and the others walked in.“Thank goodness. They've found her.” Sam said out loud as soon as he saw Veronica on the floor. “I hope she tells the world wha

    All hands on deck. The search began, and the warrior guards searched the entire pack, but Veronica was nowhere to be found.Seeing as she was not found anywhere in the pack, they proceeded to search outside the pack, and headed for the forest, combing every single place the soles of their feet stepped.They were so determined to find her because they believed that she was responsible for Trey’s death just like Sam told the Alpha.“Leave no stone unturned. Search the perimeters. Search every single place. Every nook and cranny.” Captain Jake yelled as they intensified their search in the forest.They searched and searched for hours, until it was very late at night, yet they didn't find anyone, or anything that could serve as a pointer to where Veronica was.“Cap, don't you think we should go back? It's already dark. We can come back by morning tomorrow.” One of the warriors suggested, but Jake glared at him.“Do you think this is a child's play? Are we just searching because we feel li

    They finally arrived at the Alpha's palace, and Beta Richard led the way, while they followed behind him.As they made their way in, silence filled the air, the only sound heard was their footsteps on the floor.“I can't believe I'm back here again. I still haven't gotten over what happened while I was here last time.” Megan whispered to Steve, who didn't say a word to her.“Anytime I think about it, the only thing I can remember is the punishment we were given months ago.” She whispered again, but he still didn't say anything in response.She continued to complain, regardless. “Ughhh! I can't believe we actually did community service for three whole months. It was such a harrowing experience for-”“Can you just keep quiet, Megan. Now is not the time for random talks and this is definitely not the place!” He interrupted her, as he whispered through gritted teeth. “What is wrong with you? Dang!” He hissed.She rolled her eyes, and remained quiet till they finally got into the Alpha's

    In just a short moment, the ambulance arrived at Veronica’s house, and Trey's body was immediately observed keenly, and he was soon confirmed dead.Seeing that it was Trey, the head paramedic, whose name was Dan, stared in shock. He then sighed. “Take him into the ambulance. We might have to find out the cause of his death.” He immediately instructed the other paramedics to carry Trey's body out of the house.“I’m quite baffled here. How did this happen? What really happened?” Dan asked Steve and the other guests, including Megan, who looked disturbed.“We have no idea. We just came into the room and met him like this.” Steve replied, honestly.“Is… is he really dead?” Linda asked, her voice shaking.Dan sighed sadly. “Unfortunately, Yes.”“Oh no!” They all exclaimed, with defeated expressions.They had actually hoped that they were wrong about it all along, but with the confirmation of the paramedics, they soon knew that their worst fear had actually happened.“Are you guys sure tha
