ALFRED POV“Murdered?” Marcus asked incredulously as settled on the sofa beside Andre with a perplexed look on his face, “by who?”“That’s the elephant in the room” I replied blankly and shook my head as I moved to sit on my study chair to face both him and Andre with a serious look on my face for sir William’s death just proves that we are no where near in solving this case and the enemy is two steps ahead of us.“Since Sir William was poisoned by the spy,” Marcus said coarsely, “…then that will mean, that the spy was instructed to do so and in that case, the enemy already knows of Sir William’s death.”“Beta Jameson…that sly bastard” I hissed angrily and slammed my fist on the table, for I was exhausted of this whole case and suddenly, I was overwhelmed with the sudden desire to end it all. “I need to see the old Alpha immediately, it’s time to end all this planning and get down to action.”“You are right, Alfred” Andre interjected with a knowing look on his eyes. “ this case has go
ALFRED POV“What aunt?”“Excuse me?” I asked, feigning ignorance, for I had caught on long ago that there wasn’t any aunt and I only asked for confirmation.Which I had just gotten.The hall was then filled with shattering noises as Hanni mistakenly broke her glass cup, shattering the pieces with shards of glass flying in all directions and at once, I stood up and hurriedly lifted her up the ground, so as for her not to be injured and quickly ordered the maids to have the hall cleaned up immediately.“Are you ok sweetling?” I asked with concern as I checked her hands and feet thoroughly for any cut or splinter, but luckily, I saw none, “Are you hurt?”“No Alpha—” “Alfred.”“U—uh?” She asked with her eyes widened in surprise.“It’s Alfred, sweetling” I said softly, not minding the fact she broke the glass cup on purpose.“No Alfred, I’m fine” she replied softly and carefully avoided my eyes as she turned to Josh, who had stood frozen on the spot with an ashen look on his face and aske
HANNI POVI watched with bated breath as Alfred roped his hand around Josh’s shoulders, leading him down the hallway, towards the garden and I couldn’t shake the budding feeling of unease that overwhelmed me instantly…the feeling that all is not well.I stared at their retreating backs and wondered what could be it that created Alfred’s sudden interest in josh and why he suddenly became friendly when Geo, his lycan was pissed, for Betty sensed it, but I didn’t have enough time to brood further for—“Hello Hanni”I tore my eyes from their retreating figure and looked up at Andre who had approached me silently with a small smile on his face, a look I don’t see often, a look that doesn’t fit his personality, and I was instantly taken aback, for it was then I knew it….Something was wrong.“Beta” I mumbled softly and bowed courteously.“Do you care for a walk…with me?” He asked, “we won’t go far.”“Yes of course Beta” I replied, my mind whirring…searching for what he might want, because t
ALFRED POV“A—alpha?” her chubby friend asked tentatively and he looked up at me with eyes widened with shock.“Don’t you worry” I said cheerily as I placed my hands on his shoulders. “It’s just going to be a walk in the gardens, infact the very same one your friend love so much.”“Do you want us to come along?” Andre asked and pointed at himself and Marcus.“No, it’s just going to be us” I replied as I led him out of the corridor, down the hall, towards the gardens.“Your pack is very modern, y—your highness” Josh babbled as we entered the gardens and I gave a small smile in reply. I need to make him more relaxed, in order to be able to get what I want, which is answers about his friend, for I want him to speak freely, without any restrictions, and in order to achieve that, the young wolf have to be calm.So I placed on a smiling face and pointed at some flowers, which where at the peak of their bloom and asked, “Do you have any knowledge about flowers?”“Yes I do Alpha” he replied a
ALFRED POV “Say that again!” “Sir?” the soldier asked as he glanced at me, looking momentarily surprised, then he announced sharply once more, “the lady is in the company of a young wolf, with the lady Simone, at the market place, sir!” “Calm down Alfred” Andre said calmly, “we don’t know anything here for sure, so it won’t be advisable to fall into conclusions right now.” “Yeah Alfred” Marcus chipped in, looking unbothered, “she is with Simone anyway, what can she do or you want to tell me that Simone is in on this too?” I closed my eyes as my thoughts drifted far and I didn’t know what to think. I know she couldn’t possibly be seeing anyone, because as Marcus said, she is with Simone, but what then is it? She had claimed not to know anyone here and is unfamiliar with these lands, but there she is, in a company of a young wolf…. “Andre…” I said calmly. “Yes Alpha” he replied with his eyes wide in surprise at the sudden change of my countenance. “Although I’m
HANNI POVI stared in dismay as Simone got up from the sofa she was seating on and came over to where Josh and I were sitting, then with her eyes never leaving my face, she sat down on the plush fancy stool beside me and asked softly;“Hanni…is there anything I should know?”I looked at her beautiful face etched with worry and sighed deeply, sparing Josh a glance momentarily, I replied apprehensively:“Simone…I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in details, why I left home, but we had just met and I wasn’t sure if I could trust you yet.”I gulped silently, then moved to hold her hands lying on her laps and continued nervously, “…but apart from this, I hid nothing from you.”“it’s fine” she replied with a small smile on her face, and with her eyes filled with concern, she asked, “Do you want to tell me now? I don’t want to pressure you for anything though.”I looked at Josh and smiled, feeling much more confident than I was before and he smiled back, then I turned to look back at Simone and s
