Chapter 31 Provocation

Julian POVI thought I had become desensitized to the horrors of war—the screams, the bloodshed, the fallen bodies. Yet, the scene before me was profoundly disturbing.Cecilia's grief left me at a loss.I immediately called for an ambulance. Upon their arrival, the medics confirmed that there were no survivors of the 19 wounded. Among the victims was a child, horrifically decapitated. Pearly identified him as likely being Aaron Shore, the youngest son of Norman, just 13 years old. His silver spaceship toy lay next to his bed, drenched in his blood.Most victims had either their throats slit, or daggers plunged directly into their hearts. The blades were coated with lethal wolfsbane, rendering even the most adept witch doctor powerless to save them.Strikingly, there were no signs of struggle at the scene. It appeared as if the victims had been assassinated in their sleep, their faces eerily serene. Only Norman's body was in a horrifying state. He sustained multiple wounds, his

Chapter 32 Find Your Own Path

Cecilia POV Aria's scent, like her body warmth, was fading.This was what happened when a werewolf died.After our first shift, we each developed a unique scent. Upon death, that scent vanished from the world.Aria had always smelled of lilies. Now, all that lingered in this room was the metallic scent of blood.I cleaned her body gently, as though I were tending to a withered lily. Aria was meticulous about cleanliness; she would have hated for anyone, even the forensic specialist, to see her blood-stained.In the morning, the forensic specialist transported her and the other 18 bodies to the hospital for autopsies. We expected results by night at the earliest."She died instantly, so she probably didn't suffer," the forensic specialist offered, perhaps in an attempt to comfort me as he carried her away.Stepping out of my mother's room, I instinctively raised my hand to shield my eyes from the harsh sunlight, which stung. Now, it was just me and my shadow that remained of th

Chapter 33 Autopsy

Cecilia POVJulian drove Pearly and me to the hospital. Ben and the forensic specialist, Daniel Larson, were already awaiting our arrival at the entrance."It's faster than I expected," I commented to Ben as we got out of the car."Cecilia, Daniel came with me from Black Stone. He's the best forensic specialist in the country and a member of the royal special forces. You can trust his judgment," Ben assured me, likely sensing my apprehension."Thank you for your help," I said, recognizing Daniel as the one who had offered me comfort earlier that morning. I was surprised to see such a young Omega male achieve so much. In the eyes of many, especially male werewolves, Omega males were often seen as the lowest rank and frequently rejected by their mates.At that moment, I found myself wondering how Daniel had carved out his own 'path.'Reflecting on this, my respect for him grew."It is my duty," Daniel responded with a nod before gesturing for us to follow him. "Please, follow me

Chapter 34 Is It Wrong To Save My Daughter?

Cecilia POVI requested that the hospital director access the sedative usage records for the past month, yet the records were conspicuously blank."There haven't been any entries for sedative usage in the past month. However, the hospital inventory shows a significant decrease—nearly half compared to last month. Can you explain this discrepancy?" I pressed."I'm not sure. Dr. Hudson oversees the pharmacy, and he's on his way here now," the director replied, his tone uneasy as he frantically called the doctor to hasten his arrival.Within ten minutes, Lance Hudson entered the hospital. He was a middle-aged man with a balding head."I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know where those sedatives have gone!" Lance insisted, his denial unwavering under the weight of questions from Julian and me."Lying won't help you. I have many ways to extract the truth, and I assure you, the pain involved would be excruciating," Julian warned, stepping closer to Lance. With a swift mo

Chapter 35 Shadows

Cecilia POVI instructed the soldiers to imprison Leanna and Lance in the dungeon. After the funeral, they would be publicly executed.As Julian, Pearly, and I exited the hospital, Leanna's daughter managed to break through the soldiers' barrier, clutching a tiramisu. Tears streamed down her face as she implored, "Where is my mother? She asked me to buy this cake."Observing her, I noticed her left pinky was missing a piece, now wrapped in a bandage. My eyes filled with tears, and I turned away, unsure how to respond."What's your name?" Julian kneeled to meet her eye level."Alisha Jones.""Alisha, this man will take you home later. He will protect you," Julian reassured her, gesturing to the soldier by her side."I don't want to go home. I want to stay with Mommy. She hasn't eaten anything all day!" Alisha sobbed."I promise to give your mother the cake, but you need to promise me that you'll go home and be good, okay?" I said, gently wiping her tears.Reluctantly, she nodde

Chapter 36 The Graves Beneath the Lake

Cecilia POV"Now that the autopsy results are out, it's time to prepare for your mother's and Norman's funerals," Hogan said. "We'll hold the ceremony in two days. I'll have Ben invite the Alphas from various packs to attend. Let me know if you need any help."It was then that I realized Hogan, Ben, and Julian were all dressed in black suits, a somber uniform that seemed to officially mark the beginning of the mourning period."Thank you, My King. I'm quite familiar with funerals, unfortunately. I've attended more funerals than weddings in the past two years," I responded, trying to inject a bit of dark humor.The joke didn't quite land as I hoped, and their expressions turned awkward.I managed a smile and added, "Just focus on solving the case. I'll handle the funeral arrangements."The Lotus Pack Alpha family's funerals involved special ceremonies, including unique coffins, special burial sites, and memorial practices distinct to our tradition.I reached out to Jack, who co

Chapter 37 Funeral

Cecilia POVJulian and I made our way back to the shore, relishing the sunlight as we lay on the grass. It had been ages since I had enjoyed such simple pleasures. Once our underwear had dried enough, we dressed and strolled back to the hotel under the setting sun. It was the kind of evening that whispered promises of a good night's sleep without the need for pills."What are you planning to do with that manor? If you're set against living there, I can have it demolished. We could find a new spot and build something fresh," Julian inquired as we walked back."I want to keep it," I responded. "I'll have someone tidy it up tomorrow before I move in.""I'm just concerned that you and Pearly might find it upsetting to live there.""It'll be fine. That place is my childhood home. I have many beautiful memories there. The door frame in my room still has the marks of my height measured each year up until I turned 18. If that manor goes, I'd truly be without a home."The following mornin

Chapter 38 She Took My Spotlight Again

Freeda POVI sat in the makeup room, adorned in my wedding dress, as the makeup artist meticulously worked on my hair. I unlocked my phone, only to be greeted by a sea of gray across all werewolf websites and apps. Every feed was flooded with news of the Lotus Pack's funeral.The photos showcased Hogan and Julian flanking Cecilia, framing her like a princess with her guards. The comment sections brimmed with sympathy for her. Some were even berating me and Vahn.'Poor girl! She just got divorced and now this tragedy.' 'Her ex-husband didn't even show up. What a cold bastard!' 'What the fuck? She's holding a funeral, and her ex is getting married?'I had to scroll for a long time before I saw an article about my wedding with Vahn. A sparse few shared their joy for us, overshadowed by a chorus of disapproval. Frustration overwhelmed me, and in a fit of anger, I threw my phone onto the table. The sharp tug at my scalp was immediate. "You pulled my hair, you idiot!" I snapped

Chapter 39 Public Execution

Cecilia POVThe day after the funeral, Hogan suggested we hold my Alpha Female crowning ceremony as soon as possible.At the same event, a grim spectacle awaited—publicly beheading Lance for his illegal sedative sales and Leanna for lacing the food with those drugs, aiming to restore peace to the bereaved families of the 14 workers who perished at the manor.That night, sleep eluded me.Lance's impending execution left me unfazed, but I questioned whether Leanna really deserved to die.My thoughts lingered on Alisha, who had planned to gift Leanna a cake that evening. How could I possibly convey such dire news to her? Secluding her from the execution would be futile; the truth would reach her through the internet regardless.A 14-year-old girl should not be subjected to such a harrowing ordeal.Restless, I rose from my bed, wandered into the kitchen, and retrieved a beer from the fridge. Suddenly, the lights snapped on, revealing Julian in the doorway."Can't sleep? Worried abo

Chapter 40 Becoming Alpha Female

Cecilia POVI recognized him immediately. It was Jordan, the son of Norman's Beta.Only a few days earlier, he had clashed with the royal special forces outside the manor. His skin was sun-kissed, his black hair cropped close to the scalp, and his build even more formidable than his father's—likely a gift from his warrior mother."What exactly is she going to teach us? How to dance, or perhaps prepare a delightful meal?" he scoffed, his voice dripping with derision.The crowd erupted into laughter, spurring him on.Emboldened by their laughter, he sprang onto the stage, his gaze fixed on me.He issued his challenge boldly. "Do you have the courage to fight me? I'll never submit to a loser as the Alpha of our pack.""Stand down!" Julian intervened, stepping in front of him and trying to push him back."This isn't your decision," Hogan's authoritative voice rang out. He reached for Jordan, poised to assert control, but I caught his hand, shaking my head."I accept your challenge
