“I had hoped it wasn’t true,” I said, finally breaking the heavy silence. My head lowered as i clenched my hands into tight fists.

“When the cops told me there was blood at the scene that didn’t belong to Kieran, the first person that came to mind was Aria, that she had been here with him last night when it all happened.” My voice trembled at the edge, breaking just enough to carry the weight of the lie as all eyes remained fixed on

Π

“To be honest… I didn’t want it to be her. I don’t want it to be Aria because I just want her to be safe. I don’t care about anything else but that.”

1 litted my head, forcing more tears to fall as I looked at the officers.

“Please… is she going to be okay? Just tell me she’s going to be fine.“”

I could see the hesitation flicker across their faces as they exchanged glances, and I could feel the rage rolling off my father, his fists clenched tightly at his

sides.

“I can’t give you a definite answer, one of them finally said, “but based on the amount of blood lost, the chances of Miss Aria surviving are… slim. That said, there’s more. We detected a fourth scent in the room, someone else was there. We can’t say yet if that person was involved in the attack.”

I nodded slowly, knowing full well they were referring to the rogue even if they couldn’t yet identify it the way Sheila had.

“But rest assured,” the officer added, “we’ll do everything we can to uncover what happened and locate both of them. You have our word.”

I gave a small nod, offering them a grateful smile before turning to my father. I reached for his hand, gently holding it, snapping him out of his thoughts.

When his eyes met mine, he let out a slow sigh and turned back to the officers.

“Make sure this investigation gets your full attention. I’ll be expecting updates,” he said firmly, his voice commanding

Then he turned to Benjamin, who stepped closer and lowered his head slightly in respect as he awaited orders.

-Work alongside them,” my father instructed. “Report every bit of information to me. Whether they’re found dead or alive, I want them located. Understood?”

“Yes, Alpha,” Benjamin responded calmly.

My father then turned to me, resting a firm hand on my shoulder,

“You should head back home, Nyssa. You’re leaving for the king’s pack this afternoon. I return to the pack soon–just need to check the scene before! leave. But for now, you go,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to argue either, so I simply nodded, wiping the lingering tears from my cheeks before replying softly. “Okay Don’t be late -Iwant to see you before I leave.

When he nodded, I turned and walked out of the house with Serena quietly following behind me.

As soon as I stepped outside, my expression shifted, hardening as i wiped my face with my sleeve on the way to the car

“Sheila, I want to know something,” I said through the mindlink as opened the car door and slid into the driver’s seat.

“it’s about the fact that both Kieran and Aria heard you speak about the past yesterday, shit?” she asked, already reading my thoughts.

Serena opened the passenger door and gotin beside me. I could feel her gaze on me and saw her lips part slightly like she was about to say something but one look at my face, and she kept quiet.

“Yes,” I said, starting the engine and pulling away from the packhouse. “I don’t understand how both Kieran and Aris could

supposed to know about the part?“.

Sheila sighed in my mind before answering.

“That’s the one rule the goddess put in place, so I don’t understand it either…” she trailed of her wice thoughtful as Kieran’s house faded in the rearview mirror. “The only reasonable guess i have is that they were both close to death at the time you spoke. Maybe that’s if i’m not certain. But maybe, maybe the other person has to be near death to hear anything about the past.”

frowned at her words. It sounded ridiculous, but it was the only explanation that made even a little sense as to why both Kieran and Aria had heard me

Last night

They’d both been in situations where, if I had chosen to, they might have died, maybe that was enough to break whatever rule the goddess had put in

place.

Goddess, I didn’t even know what to think anymore,

Everything was a mess, and the more I tried to make sense of it, the more it felt like my head

was going to explode. I was beyond confused.

But I didn’t have time to think about that right now, I kept driving, my focus shifting back to the p

packhouse ahead

I didn’t have many choices left. I had to go to Darius‘ pack today, and whether I liked it or not, there was nothing I could do to change that

I’d already accepted it

But I still had one last card to play.

And it had everything to do with that man..

Soon, I arrived at the packhouse, turned off the engine, and stepped out of the car before walking toward the entrance, ignoring Serena as she called my

name.

I didn’t respond. Instead, I stepped inside and headed straight to Darius’s chamber.

Before I could reach the door, I found Cassian, Drake, and Zayn standing right in front of it.
