Chapter 100:Garrett's Weakness

The room hung heavy with silence after Draven's revelation. Garrett, the Beta, the wolf who had nearly killed Edwin in single combat, was slowly crumbling inside his own body. Ralph paced like a restless hound. His boots striking hard against the stone. "If this is true, if what you speak of is true, do you realize that this changes everything?" " I am certain of what I speak of, I am not one to spread lies and rumors. Especially not the one that I have seen and tended to with my own hands and eyes," Draven simply replied. Ralph exhaled. "Garrett's pride will not let him admit weakness, but if word of his failing health spreads, his men will lose faith in him, and half his power lies in the fear he inspires." Edwin shook his head, grim. "And if we use this knowledge recklessly, we will be putting a lot of things at risk. It is no news that a cornered wolf fights the hardest. If he belie

"I am meant to take this secret with me to my grave, but I know you too better than to jeopardize the little time i have left by dying a slow and painful death....." ".....go straight to the point, and stop feeding me dumb stories that I do not care about!" She yelled at him. "Your father's health is indeed failing," the man finally spilled. " How long has he been battling this illness?" She asked, biting her nails. "For a few years now, my lady," "And you didn't think that it was right for his family to know?" she asked him. "My lord sternly warned us about telling it to anyone, including his family. He did not want the news falling into the wrong hands, especially when he had been working endlessly and tirelessly to claim the alpha position." Vanessa chuckled, fixing her eyes on her father's tent. "You can leave now

Chapter 101:Vanessa's Hidden Scheme

The night was heavy with fog outside Garrett's war camp, but inside Vanessa's tent, the air slowly burned with ambition. A single lantern flickered over her table as she wrote swiftly, her quill cutting across a piece of paper like a blade slashing through flesh. Each letter bore a different name Elder Merek, Elder Voss, Elder Tanor, and all men who once swore allegiance to Dark Moon's Alpha Council, now uncertain where their loyalties lay. Vanessa sealed each letter with crimson wax and pressed her family's sigil into it. A crescent claw through a flame. Her lips curved faintly as she whispered to herself. "If Edwin and my father destroy each other, the pack will need someone left standing to govern them. And no one is a better fit for that position than I am," she chuckled. When her maid, a timid girl named Isla, entered quietly, Vanessa did not look up.

Chapter 102:Vanessa's Hidden Scheme

In Edwin's tent, they shut the war room door and drew the bolt. Outside, the remnants of the battle still smoked, but inside the small chamber the air was colder and sharpened by purpose. Ralph set a rough wooden box on the table and opened it with a flat hand. Inside sat a length of dark leather and a single short blade wrapped in oilcloth. He did not look up when he spoke. "We cannot keep meeting Garrett half-measures," he said. "He will continue to bleed us until there is nothing left to bleed. If words will not end him, if the sword will not, then maybe it is about time we stop pretending we can't use what he uses against us." "What are you suggesting we do?" Tiara asked, unable to hide her curiosity. Edwin's hand tightened on the rim of the table. "You mean...?" Ralph met his gaze, hard as flint. "We should slip him out of the world he is tearing a

Chapter 103:Setting the Trap

The war chamber smelled faintly of smoke and steadying wine. Different maps lay splayed across the table, wax seals and ledger slips clustered like accusations. Edwin, Ralph, Tiara and Draven moved with a single, cold purpose. Edwin tapped the ledger pouch Draven had given him. "If Garrett thinks he can keep fighting forever, he is nothing but a fool," he said. "But if he is cornered and thinks he can buy his way out again, we would then be ready for him," "He will try to run the moment he realizes that things are not the way he expected them to be," Ralph added. "He would only make our future efforts by doing so. His warriors will see him for who he truly is, and with their help, we will force him to stay." Ralph cut in, blunt and efficient. "We should not ambush him in the field," "Why not on the field, Ralph? Is that not the best place

Chapter 104: Setting the Trap cont'd

Vanessa's tent smelled of oil lamps and old perfume. It was a softer war-room than Garrett's. The two elders who had answered her letter sat across from her, faces careful and hungry: Elder Tanor, with his smooth, oily voice, and Elder Merek, pragmatic and currently unsure which way the wind blew. Vanessa poured them wine and let them sip the bait. Her expression was the picture of sympathy that melted into opportunity. "You are both truly smart and calculative. I see that you fully understood my offer," she said, speaking with a sweet voice, hands steepled. "Yes, my lady," Elder Tanor spoke. "We did get your letter, but I think it would be quite wrong to say that we fully understood you. And it is why we have come, so that you can enlighten is further." " Psssst, liars," she said to herself, looking at both men with disdain. "The offer in my letter reflects only peac

Chapter 105:The Hearing: Proof, Pride, and a Shattered Mask

The great hall was packed. Banners fluttered above long benches; the iron chandeliers threw down a procession of hovering light. Word had spread like flame: the Alpha had called a council. People pressed at the doors: elders, warriors, wives, merchants, even a smattering of children who clung to legs for shelter from the cold reality. Edwin sat at the raised dais, cloak folded from the duel and arm still stiff from the cleaner cut Garrett had left. Ralph stood beside him, an immovable shadow. Tiara was visible to the side, not hidden this time. Her face pale but set. Draven's small pouch lay sealed on the table next to a ledger Ralph had placed there earlier, wrapped in cloth and bound with string. A bell tolled. The murmurs dropped to a thousand wary breaths. Elder Mena rapped the bench with knuckles, calling the session to order. "Alpha Edwin speaks,"

Chapter 106:The Hearing: Proof, Pride, and a Shattered Mask

Vanessa rose smoothly and stepped forward the daughter, who pleaded for calm. "Yes. We must think of survival. I urge the council to consider a temporary handover of authority to ensure supplies are secured. Let us stabilize our food and water first, and then consider whatever accusations must follow." Her tone mimicked concern; the surrounding elders leaned in. Her two elders, Tanor and Merek, now loudly questioned the wisdom of absolute trust in Edwin. The effect was immediate: an internal debate erupted in the hall. Half the crowd pressed toward the door to see the wells, to check, to demand action. The moment had been manufactured to split attention and to make the ledger's revelations feel like part of a damaged world not a call to justice. Edwin's face tightened. He saw the trap for what it was: a perversion of justice into panic. He rose, stepping forward. "People," he said, voicing a th

Chapter 107: Truth Dragged into the Light

The hall had nearly devolved into chaos, but Edwin's voice was quick to cut through it like a sword through fog. "Enough!" The single word echoed across the chamber. The murmurs died instantly, replaced by a suffocating silence. "This," he said, gesturing to the ledger spread before him, "is not a market debate. This is the law of our pack. And as the alpha of this pack, I will see this through, now." Ralph took a deliberate step forward, signaling the guards. The massive oak doors to the council chamber swung shut with a deep thud. The sound echoed like a warning. "No one leaves," Ralph declared. "At least, not until the truth we have come here to seek has been spoken." A ripple of tension spread across the hall. The council members shifted in their seats, wives clutched their shawls, and warriors exchanged uneasy glances because they knew Ralp

Chapter 108:Truth Dragged into the Light

A sudden scuffle near the back drew attention. A few of Garrett's loyal guards surged forward, but Ralph's men intercepted them, forcing them back at swordpoint. Vanessa, ever the actress, rose slowly, lifting her hands as if to soothe the chaos. "My people," she said, her voice honeyed and false, "we must not be quick to condemn. Mistakes can be forged, documents can be faked..." "Enough!" Edwin snapped. His voice echoed like a storm. "Every seal, every coin, every death ties back to your father. This is the end of his lies, and yours, too, if you continue to defend him." For a split second, Vanessa's mask slipped. Her pupils dilated, her breath shallow. But then she straightened, smoothing her gown. "If you truly believe that, then you will have no fear of a trial. Let the pack see it. Let the council judge it. I have nothing to hide." Edwin stepped closer and whispered to her,
