"Do not answer to them. Do not let their words scare you, Ralph," Edwin cut in. "They answer to the truth. And that truth lives in her head. I will not let sentiment or politics get in the way of pulling it out of her head." he gestured towards Marah who was now pale.He turned to Ralph fully now, in a firm and low voice. "Tie her hands!" He instructed."Start with her feet but make sure to keep the cuts shallow. I do not want the ropes to live a scar. No mess. But I want to do more than enough to make her understand the fact that even silence has a price."Ralph exhaled slowly, not from disagreement, but from the gravity of what was about to begin."Yes, Alpha." he finally replied.Despite all of this, one thing amused Ralph. As he moved towards the table, Marah still made no sound, she did not flinch. Her mouth was closed like it had been sealed and her eyes looked forward. She has a strange aura emanating from her. "I am not sorry to say this but I put it to you that you will not

CRACK! The sound of a wooden chair crashing into the back of his skull. Miles dropped to his knees, stunned. Before he could look up, Ralph's voice cut through the darkness."Hello, Miles," he greeted, wearing a dangerous look." Ralph? What are you even doing here? Why in the name of the moon goddess, are you here?" Miles squirmed."I expected you to have grown smarter and more intelligent, but I am not too surprised to see that we are still as dumb as ever," Ralph mocked, looking at the men that Miles had brought along with him."Just in case you have forgotten, shall I jog your memory?" He continued. "I am the alpha's personal guard, and I am so happy to announce to you that you just picked the wrong night to launch an attack on the alpha's guest." Ralph smirked.The two cloaked men turned, wanting to escape the room, but unfortunately for them, they found themselves surrounded.Four elite guards in Edwin's personal unit stepped from the shadows. Their weapons were drawn, and their

The room was still from the silence that engulfed it. A candle flickered in a corner is the room, casting soft shadows across the stone walls.Edwin sat opposite Marah, no guards were present, no Ralph. It was just the two of them, seated at a distance from each other but linked by the weight of what was yet to be said.Marah's eyes were still puffy, rimmed red from sleepless nights and pain. But in her gaze something was different. It held resolve, exhaustion. Or maybe both."I am listening to you, Marah," Edwin broke the silence. "I mean, if you are ready and wanting to talk, rather than us just seat and stare at each other all long. Then, I am all ears," he added, not wanting to force her to talk against her will."If I am being honest with myself, I really do not know where to start," she murmured, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of the blanket wrapped around her legs."Hmm," Edwin sighed, he tried to put himself in her shoes, and understand how she felt. "Left to me, I will l

Silence settled for a moment. Then she asked, eyes locking onto his, "Any progress? Have you been able to get any useful information concerning my parents?"Edwin slowly nodded. "We have discovered so much more than before, Marah." He happily replied. "More than before." He added."And you did not think that I deserve to have known this before now?" She asked him, walking away from Edwin."Things are not what it how they seem to be, Tiara," he quickly said, trying to explain things to her. "Marah....." he trailed off."....that was the name of the maid that worked for your parents back then." He continued." Ohh, I see," she said, sounding uninterested in what he was saying."We managed to make her talk, a few days ago. But we are yet to get everything out of her, but I assure you that right now, we have more than enough to lead us forward. Ralph is now seriously digging into records we did not know existed."Not wanting to show that she was interested now, Tiara simoly spoke. "And wha

Edwin froze out of disbelief, "you are starting to confuse us with your words, Marah," he lightly chuckled, thinking that she was just stressed and that was why she was saying gibberish.Marah shakily exhaled. "A few days before that unfortunate incident happened, Garrett summoned me," she spoke. " At first, I was happy because I had thought that it was for more money."" And as at that time, My family was desperately in need of money. My brothers had not eaten in two days, we were owing so many merchants and after buying food on credit," she sniffed."But there is one thing I want to understand here, Marah," Ralph said, finally speaking. " Why did you not just ask Beta George's wife for assistance then?" He said."Hmm," she sighed. "It was actually but that she would not have assisted myswlf and my family but i mean, I was tired from having to run to her whenever we needed financial assistance or supplies." Her voice cracked."That woman was always ready to lend helping hands, even t
