MasukThe elders returned to the council hall in silence, their faces clouded with shock and disbelief. Behind them, two guards carried the seer's lifeless body out of the dungeon.Nobody could believe what had happened.The seer had been alive when Knox ordered her imprisonment the previous evening. Yet by morning, she had been found dead with a dagger lodged in her chest.And the weapon belonged to their Luna.“This cannot be happening,” one elder muttered as he took his seat.Another shook his head. “I refuse to believe Luna Aria could do such a thing.”“Neither do I,” a third elder agreed. “She was the one who kept insisting that the Alpha summon the seer. Why would she murder the very person she wanted to help him?”“Exactly! It makes no sense.”Their discussion continued until Knox returned to the hall.His expression was dark, and the dagger was still in his possession.“Summon Aria,” he ordered.One of the guards bowed and hurried away.An elder immediately stood.“Alpha, I hope you
For a brief moment, nobody seemed to understand what he had just said.Then several elders rose from their seats.“What did you say?”“Dead?”“How is that possible?”Knox stood abruptly.“What nonsense are you talking about?”The guard lowered his head, trembling.“I went to the dungeon to bring her out, as you ordered. But when I entered her cell, I found her lying on the floor. She wasn't breathing, Alpha. Her body was already cold.”One elder rushed toward him.“Did you check properly?”“Yes, Elder. I checked. She is dead.”A wave of shock swept through the chamber.“This is terrible!”“Who could have done such a thing?”“She was alive when the Alpha ordered her imprisonment!”The elders began speaking over one another, their voices filled with disbelief and anger.Knox's face darkened.“Enough! Nobody leaves this chamber until I find out what happened.”He strode toward the door.“Take me to the dungeon.”Several elders immediately followed him.The journey through the pack house
The emergency meeting was called early that morning.One after another, the elders arrived at the council chamber, their expressions unusually grim. News of the seer's imprisonment had spread throughout the pack, and none of them was pleased with what they had heard.The seer was not an ordinary pack member. She was the one who interpreted the Moon Goddess's warnings and guided the pack through difficult times. Imprisoning her simply because she had spoken against the Alpha's decision was something many elders considered unacceptable.Knox arrived shortly afterward.He took his seat at the head of the table, his expression revealing his displeasure at being summoned so early.“What is the meaning of this emergency meeting?” he demanded.One of the elders stood.“Alpha, we need to discuss the seer.”Knox leaned back. “What about her?”“We heard that you ordered her imprisonment yesterday.”“I did.”“May we know what crime she committed?”“She overstepped her boundaries.”The elder frow
Later that night, Muna received news that the seer had been locked in the dungeon.A pleased smile appeared on her face.“So the old woman finally got herself into trouble,” she murmured.She had already received Delilah's instructions concerning the seer. Now that Knox had conveniently placed her behind bars, dealing with her would be much easier.Muna opened a drawer and retrieved a small dagger.Its blade had been treated with dark poison, something ordinary warriors would never suspect.She examined it briefly before concealing it beneath her clothes.Then she left her chamber.The dungeon was quiet when she arrived. The guards stationed at the entrance had left their duty post. It was a perfect time for her. Muna unlocked the entrance, allowing herself inside.The seer was sitting against the stone wall when Muna approached. Her hands were restrained, and her clothes had become dusty from the rough dungeon floor.She raised her head upon hearing footsteps.Her expression changed
That evening, the pack seer finally made up her mind.She had remained silent for long enough. What was happening within Knox-Shade Pack was no ordinary disagreement between an Alpha and his Luna. Something dark had taken hold of their Alpha, and if nobody intervened, the consequences would be disastrous.She could no longer ignore the warnings she had received.After making the necessary preparations, she headed straight for Knox's chamber.The guards outside bowed when they saw her.“I need to see the Alpha,” she announced.One of them hesitated. “The Alpha is inside, but he instructed us not to allow anyone to disturb him.”“Tell him the seer has come. What I have to say concerns the future of this pack.”The guard exchanged a glance with his companion before knocking.A moment later, Knox's cold voice came from inside.“Come in.”The seer entered and bowed slightly.“Alpha.”Knox glanced up from the documents on his desk. “What brings you here at this hour?”“I have come because t
Muna had barely finished reading Delilah's latest instructions when a satisfied smile spread across her face.Delilah had been clear about what she expected.The first step was to deal with the pack's seer. As long as the old woman remained around Aria, there was a risk she might discover something that could ruin their plans.After that, Muna was to begin placing people who supported her in important positions within Knox-Shade Pack. She needed loyal people around the Alpha, people who would obey her instructions and ensure that nobody could challenge her influence.Muna folded the letter and slipped it into a drawer.“First, the seer,” she murmured. “Then the rest of the pack will gradually become mine.”The following morning, she decided to visit Knox in his chamber.However, as she approached his room, she heard raised voices coming from inside.She slowed down.The door was slightly ajar, allowing her to hear the conversation clearly.“Knox, please. You have to listen to me!”It
