What was the possibility that the voice I heard belonged to Dawn? The thought gnawed at me. The coldness, the authority in that voice—it matched Dawn’s so perfectly that it was almost impossible to dismiss. But why would she be here, in the dead of night, speaking so darkly about someone’s fate? The Dawn I knew was filled with hatred and jealousy, but this? This was something else entirely. The figure on the phone paced back and forth, her tone growing more frustrated with each passing second. “I don't care how difficult it is,” the voice snapped, and my heart pounded in my chest. It was unmistakable now. The voice was Dawn's. “You have three days. No more excuses. If you can't find her, then I'll have to take matters into my own hands, and you know what that means.” A cold sweat broke out across my forehead. Who was she talking about? And what did she mean by “taking matters into her own hands”? I had never seen this side of Dawn before—calculating, ruthless. It was as if she

CLINTON.The wake-keeping of the late Alpha Frederick was finally over four hours later. I watched my mate as she stood up and made her way upstairs, wanting nothing more than to go up with her.The last few days have been hard for me. I noticed there was something she wasn't telling me, and a part of me felt it somehow connected to this pack. This suspicion arose when she urged me to attend the funeral the day she found me by the pool. Her behavior had been rather strange since then.She insisted on wearing a mask to this pack and even went ahead and changed her mind. I didn't know what to think of that, but my wolf pleaded with me to trust our mate. I trusted her, but a part of me could feel something was wrong, and her telling me that she would reveal everything after the funeral didn't help ease my uneasiness. I wanted to know what was happening, and knowing that she didn't trust me enough to share it with me now hurts really bad. But it's not like I could do anything about it.I

“I have proof that the person who killed the late Alpha, your father, is among us,” I said, the words heavy as they left my mouth.I could feel everyone's hot gazes on my skin, including Clinton's, but I didn't take my eyes off Alpha Kael—my mate and the late Alpha's son.His expression morphed into one of anger, and I watched as he curled his hands into tight fists. I could feel his rage as he let out his aura, but it didn't affect me since I wasn't his pack member. However, shifting my gaze to the crowd, I saw everyone with their heads bowed, except for the Alpha Kings and other Alphas.But I didn't care if his anger was directed at me. Nobody cared about me when I was falsely accused. Worse, they even wanted me dead for something as horrible as killing the Alpha.I smiled ruefully and looked at him. His girlfriend was rubbing her right palm on his left shoulder, with her other hand placed gently on his chest while mouthing words I couldn't hear.“What did you just say?” Kael growle

“Get back here immediately!” he growled so loudly that the ground shook.They turned around, and I could see them trying to fight his Alpha Command, but boy, did I enjoy watching as blood trickled down their noses. That was the consequence of fighting an Alpha Command. I saw them freeze, gritting their teeth, but eventually, they started back towards us.“Then kneel before everyone and admit your crimes!” He rolled another Alpha Command, and Dawn and Beta Alvin fell to their knees with their heads bowed.I didn't know if he was doing this because he knew I was the one they went against or if he was just doing it to help me bring them to justice since I was the one who exposed them. Whatever his reason might be, I was still glad he was able to do this for me.Someone grabbed me, pulling me out of my thoughts, and I raised a brow to find Alpha Kael staring at me. His eyes searched my eyes or my face; I couldn't tell which one he was doing.I wasn't comfortable with him holding me like t

CLINTON“Let go of my mate!” A growl sounded, and I reluctantly let go of my mate.With a mighty growl of my own, I turned around, a glare on my face, to find Alpha Kael watching Ruby and me. He no longer cared about torturing his niece, the one who murdered his father, and I wondered what sort of shitty Alpha he was.I lifted a dark brow at him. “What the hell are you talking about?”I felt my mate snake her right arm around my waist, and I welcomed her into me with a soft sigh. Without looking at her, I gently brought her head to lean on my shoulder.“Ruby is my mate,” he growled louder this time as he approached us.Does he have a death wish by dragging my mate with me? How dare he? I tried making sense of what he said when I suddenly remembered. On the first night we arrived here, that murderer had mentioned that Ruby was his mate, and the shitty Alpha confirmed it. But if Ruby was now my mate, then the only possible situation is that he rejected her.I felt a soft hand on my chee
