Having gotten the message sent by Alpha Carlyle very early that morning, it’s content pressed against my chest like a stone. The morning air was crisp, but my thoughts were clouded with uncertainty. The urgency in the letter’s words echoed in my mind, urging me to heed its call, yet a part of me resisted.

I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach. Why now? Why me? Questions swirled in my head, each one more troubling than the last. The timing was too strange, coming just a day after Carlyle’s joyous union with his mate.

My footsteps faltered as doubts gnawed at my resolve. Was this a trap, a ploy orchestrated by Moon Shadow to exploit our vulnerabilities? Or perhaps it was something more sinister, a threat looming on the horizon that I couldn’t yet see.

Despite the bad feeling I greatly felt, I pressed on, determined to honor the summons.

Getting to Moon Shadow, I was welcomed quite alright but the look flashed at me said it all. It was different from that which I’ve experienced on several days whenever I visited. The difference was clear.

Carlyle showed up and for the first time in years, he didn’t respond to my taunts. Like, we’ve been rivals for years. and neither of us would let go of the chance to get at the other.

Bit by bit, I began confirming my intuition right. Something was wrong! Still, I followed through with what he was saying by following him till we drove to an hospital.

There, I was forced to talk. What were we going to do at an hospital? Definitely, I was sure that whatever it was must be a grave issue.

We got inside an hospital room and I was pissed because I never expected Carlyle to treat me like his guard who would just follow his commands without questioning him. If only I knew.

Then I saw a corpse, covered with a white cloth lying still on a gurney in the hospital room we entered. There, I

“Who’s this?” I asked silently, looking at Carlyle and he urged me with a signal to check who it was. I was an Alpha and I wasn’t scared to identify the corpse, but for some reasons, I developed cold feet the very last minute

I pulled the cloth over the corpse’s head. When I finally exposed the face, I was shocked at who it was.

“This…” I was speechless as Raina’s dead face met with mine..

At first, it felt like some kind of joke and I sighed, thinking Carlyle was playing pranks on me. I thought he was faking all these to get me or something. But I proceeded to check the corpse’s wrist to see if it was really my sister. There was a light invincible tatoo that only werewolves of our blood knew about there and realization dawned on me. It was indeed my sister, Raina. There was no way Carlyle and his Beta could have faked the

corpse.

My heart lurched as the truth revealed itself beneath the white shroud. Raina, my beloved sister, lay motionless on the gurney before me. Shock coursed through my veins, stealing the breath from my lungs as I struggled to comprehend the sight before me.

A myriad of emotions surged within me, each one more agonizing than the last. Grief, raw and unyielding, threatened to consume me whole, its weight bearing down on my shoulders like a leaden cloak. Anguish twisted my features as I fought to suppress the overwhelming tide of sorrow threatening to engulf me.

But amidst the despair, a flicker of something else ignited within me: Rage! Anger simmered beneath the surface, a seething inferno fueled by the injustice of her untimely demise.

How could this have happened to her, to us? The questions echoed in my mind, unanswered and tormenting.

Trembling with a mixture of sorrow and fury, I turned to Carlyle, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to find the words.

“Why? Why Raina? How this this happen?” My question hung in the air, unanswered and echoing in the sterile confines of the hospital room. But deep down, I knew that no answer could ever quell the pain of losing her.

Tears welled in my eyes as Carlyle explained what had befallen Raina, each word twisting the knife of grief deeper into my heart. I had warned her countless times, pleaded with her to let go of her obsession, but she had stubbornly refused to heed my words.

Why was she so unwilling to listen?

Why did she insist on risking everything for a futile cause?

Suddenly, a primal roar tore from my throat, echoing through the sterile walls of the hospital room.

Then, I turned to face Carlyle, my eyes blazing with a mix of anguish and fury. How could he expect me to believe his version of events? He could have twisted the truth to suit his own agenda, to absolve himself of any guilt.

I knew Raina could have done all he claimed to have happened, but I failed to believe. It just wasn’t making

sense. Not after I and Raina returned to home together, to our pack after Carlyle’s wedding the previous day.

“How dare you!” I spat, each word dripping with venom. “You expect me to believe your lies? You and Donald are responsible for Raina’s death!”

Carlyle’s eyes flashed with indignation, his voice cutting through the turmoil like a knife.

“You know me better than that,” he retorted. “I never loved your sister but I would never have thought of killing her.”

But I refused to be swayed, my anger boiling over as I advanced toward him.

“Enough!” I roared, my voice echoing off the sterile walls. “Tell me the truth, or so help me, I’ll make you regret it!”

Tension filled the room as Carlyle and I faced each other, emotions running high.

“Rex, I swear to you, everything I’ve told you is the truth. Raina… she’s gone, but I did nothing to her. She caused it herself.” Carlyle stood his ground.

“Prove it! If you can’t, then you’ll pay dearly for your lies. I’ll make sure of it. I’ll destroy everything you hold dear, one by one. Your Luna, your child, your loved ones, your pack… they’ll all suffer because of you! I’ll kill tem one after the other.”

Carlyle’s expression changed at the intensity of my words, knowing the weight of my threat. But he remained resolute and stretched his hand out to collect something from Donald.

Donald placed a tied white piece of cloth on his palm, and he loosened it, showing it to me. The content tied in the cloth was nothing but broken bottles.

“Here, Rex. Have this. You know what to do with it” he stared straight into my eyes. “You’ll find the truth in it.”

I hesitated for a moment before taking the bottle from Carlyle’s outstretched hand. I inhaled deeply, and nerves softened as I caught a whiff of my sister’s scent.

“Raina…” I muttered softly.

“That was the bottle of charm we gathered at the scene after what happened.” Carlyle uttered and I stared at the bottle before taking a glance at Raina’s corpse right in front of me.

As the reality of Raina’s death sank in, my anger began to ebb, replaced by a profound sense of loss.

“Rex, please… let’s focus on finding out what happened here. Pointing fingers won’t bring Raina back. We need to work together to uncover the truth. You should know by now that there are so many unanswered questions.” Carlyle said in earnest and I listened carefully with rapt attention. “If we’re to drag this, you know who’s at fault here, your sister is. Trespas sing is her first crime and attempted murder is her second.” He analysed carefully but intimidatingly, making me realize what was at stake.

After some thought, Carlyle was right.

The questions were clear and they all remained unanswered.

Questions like how Raina got to Moon Shadow that late at night and where she got the bottle of charm from because I had clearly restricted her movement since the last incident that happened with Moon Shadow.

“It’ll be better to take the fall on this.” I concluded thoughtfully.

“You’re right, Carlyle. Blaming each other won’t bring Raina back. I need to find out what really happened here. I’ll investigate the case thoroughly and get back to you as soon as possible.”

Carlyle nodded in understanding, a sense of relief washing over him.

“And…” I trailed off, glancing at Raina one last time before covering her body back. “I’m sorry for whatever she might have done to you. I failed to train her well.” I extended my sincere apology.

“It’s fine, Rex. We appreciate your willingness to work together on this. And we accept your apology.”

I nodded at him with gratitude as I prepared to leave.. However, Donald’s question brought my attention back to

the matter at hand.

“What about Raina’s body? What are your plans for her?”

I paused, considering the question carefully before responding.

“I’ll make arrangements for her to be taken back to our pack once I have all the answers we need. It’s the least I can do for her.”

I said and took my leave.
