As soon as I hade to know about the whereabouts of Peter and M, I had asked Shir to get
them to the Nighbloom pack.
I had to ensure their visit remained unknown because their daughter was the one who killed the
pack’s Alpha. If they were exposed, the pack members would have gone against them. And I didn’t
trust anyone. Given that they were an easy target, there was no guarantee that someone from my
pack wouldn’t expose their identity to the enemies or take them out.
I had instructed Shir to keep them in a house on the outskirts of the pack’s territory. Ever since their
arrival, I was extremely quiet.
“This is preposterous!” Zoe shouted. “The handwriting in these letters belongs to Graham. He is the
one who should be charged with murder, not me!”
Graham transitioned from shock to numbness. His eyes darted to Zoe as he watched her with
dread. The look that crossed on his face was akin to betrayal. “Zoe?” He touched her hand.
She removed her hand away from him. “Don’t touch me, you murderer! I didn’t know that you killed
your father-inw to usurp his pack, else I wouldn’t have evere back to you. What were you
even thinking?” She turned towards the Elders. “Now that it is proved that it was Graham who had
killed Alpha Jonas, I request you to let me go.” She started crying. “I’ve had enough of this m ental
trauma.” She ced her hand on her forehead and swayed a little. “Oh! I feel like I will puke.”
I shook my head, knowing fully well that this was another one of her antics to y the victim card.
“Zoe, how can you say this?” Graham said, visibly shaking. “You and I are together…”
“Oh, shut up!” she snapped. “If I knew that I was with a murderer, I would have rather stayed back
with my husband and gotten abused!”
Graham couldn’t say a word, his mind frozen, his eyes moist. And that was akin to the emotion of
betrayal I faced in the past. He looked at me, and I could tell he was feeling helpless and betrayed.
Zoe’s betrayal was like a carefully crafted sandcastle which was swept away by the unexpected
harsh wave.
I chuckled. “Isn’t the feeling familiar, Alpha Graham?” I waved at Zoe. “The garden you lovingly
cultivated, nurtured it with care and trust, only to find the seeds you nted were tainted with deceit.
Today they have choked the life out of your love. You deserved every bit of this.”
“Shut up with your dramatics!” Zoe said, her voice turning desperate. “Please Elder Hanks, let me
go. I am unwell!”
Before I opened my mouth, Elder Hanks said, “Peter testified it was Beta Henry Mueller who asked
him to leave.” He looked down at her through his eyesses. “Henry is your father. Care to exin
why he took care of Peter?”
Zoe blinked her eyes in confusion, as if trying toprehend his words. “I-I don’t know… Maybe
because Alpha Graham must have sent him?”
“That’s another lie,” I said and picked up another document from my table. I gave it to Elder Hanks.
“This isst year’s phone record of Beta Henry to Peter.” I walked back to my ce confidently,
loving how I was tightening the noose around Zoe. “Every criminal makes one mistake while
committing the crime. While these peoplemunicated with handwritten letters, Beta Henry
committed that one mistake.”
H ooked at Zoe and crossed my arms across my chest. “The day my father was killed, I had rushed
to the Nightbloom pack, along with Alpha Graham and his father. Peter and M were so terrified of
what had happened that they had gone silent. I remember that Beta Henry came muchter in the
middle of the night to attend my father’s funeral. And the reason was that he impatiently called
Peter, went to his house, got rid of them, and rushed to his Alpha to avoid any suspicions.” I

picked up another record from the table along with a USB drive.

When I presented it to the Elders, I told them, “I spent a lot of time and effort retrieving that USIS. It
is a phone call between Beta Henry and Zoe, I suggest that the High Council hears it.”
Blood drained from Zoe’s face as she watched meing back.ler eyes went to Alpha Logan and
then back to me. “I am pregnant. You are trying to kill my pup,” she squeaked
This time I didn’t reply to her as I stood stoically. A staff member in the council took the USB drive
and plugged it into a bluetooth device. The conversation started.
Beta Henry: I have forced Peter and M to leave the pack as instructed by you,
Zoe: Why didn’t you kill them, father? Lian won’t be happy,
Beta Henry: Are you mad? Alpha Jonas is dead. They’ve found Xena’s body outside the pack’s
territory. If you go on a killing spree like this, they will start suspecting you or Graham!
Zoe: D mn it! Okay, just track these two ba stards and kill them as soon as possible. Besides, don’t
call me about it again.
The conversation ended.
A heavy silence shrouded us. Listening to how they hatched my father’s murder was horrible. My
stomach turned hollow. I felt like I could copse. Tears ran down my cheeks as memories of my
father flooded my mind. Had Alpha Logan not caught me from behind, I would have fainted. He
cupped the back of my neck and pressed it into his chest as I silently mourned my father,
“This-this is fabricated,” Zoe rasped. “This is”
A loud p resounded in the High Council and I turned sharply to look behind me.
Zoe, screamed as she fell on the floor with her hand on her check. She was looking at Graham in
horror.
“Enough, you bit ch!” he said, his chest rising and falling. “I did everything to protect you, keep you
sheltered, turned a blind eye to your misdeeds, and this is how you pay back?”
