Zack POV“Fuck. What can we do?” I said to Connor, frustrated over what had happened in the last twenty-four hours. There had been no attacks on any pack members. I was grateful, but also recognized this just made Jack’s guilt in this more prevalent. I knew he did not do it, but how were we going to prove it?“I do not know, but I cannot imagine how Jack is surviving down there,” Connor muttered, frustration having been eating at him as well. “What about the footprint?” Kristine asked. “What about it?” Connor replied. “Would they have taken a photo or some way to use the footprint as evidence? If they did, would it be possible to have it analyzed along with Jack’s to see if they are in fact a match?” she responded.We both sat with that for a moment, before I jumped up, “Baby, you are brilliant! Of course, that is a possibility. Let’s go find these investigators, and make them prove his guilt,” I said as we walked down towards the conference room. When I tapped on the door, and we ente

Kristine POV“That was intense,” I stated quietly as Marcus and Nicole exited the room. “Yes, and now it explains the rush to get Jack out of here. We will do all that we can to keep him here,” Zack stated. I nodded, “He cannot leave. I am afraid for him if he is taken someplace else. I do not know that he will get a fair trial,” I replied.“He should not be in there,” Connor stated, referring to Jack being held in our dungeons. “I do not know how to get him out of there. He has admitted he has no alibi,” Zack reminded him. “Jack and his honest mouth,” Connor muttered. “Your friend’s honesty is the only thing that is keeping me from dragging his ass to the main Council and letting them deal with him,” I heard from the door.Turning, I was surprised to see Marcus back so quickly. “Isn’t there a saying “innocent, until proven guilty”? Zack asked. Marcus smirked, “That is for the stories. It does not exist in our world,” he shared, as he went back to his box of materials and started to un

Connor POVI quickly caught up with Andrea as she was making her way towards the dungeons. I cringed when I saw her. I remembered her from when her and Zack had dated. It was always tense with her around. She was not friendly, and always treated you like she was so much better than you.“Hi Andrea. Long time, no see,” I said to her. She glanced my way, “Your Alpha sent you to babysit?” she taunted. “He saw a threat that he wanted to be neutralized. But sure, babysitting sounds way cooler,” I responded. I saw her glance my way, before she smirked, “Well that was a side of you I did not know was in there,” she observed.“There is a lot about me that you do not know” I replied, as I moved to open the door to the dungeons for Andrea. I heard her gag and hid my smile. I knew the dungeons were a nasty part of our culture, but they were necessary to protect the pack from any threats. “I thought I asked to meet the suspects in the interviewing area,” she stated angrily.“You go through here, t

Kristine POVI went with everyone to study the crime scene. Another gruesome attack. This time it was an Elder. Zack cursed in frustration, as Andrea and Marcus collected evidence from the scene. This time nobody helped them do so. Andrea called Marcus to her to show him something.Turning to look at us, “We found something,” she said as she moved to stand in front of us. “Did you think you had outsmarted me?” the note said attached to the dead body. I gasped as Zack simply stood there in shock and anger. “Who the hell is this?” he demanded, knowing nobody had the answer.“It is someone relatively close to you,” Andrea said. “How is that possible? How would we not know someone who was doing this?” I asked. Marcus looked at me, “More often than not, we know the murderer. It is how they build trust among the deceased. And those around them,” he summarized.“It makes no sense. We have a peaceful pack. Why would they do this?” Zack asked. “That is what we need to figure out. Clearly, keepi

Zack POV“Are you trying to insinuate that Kristine had something to do with this? She has been with me constantly since all this crap started, you asshole!” I yelled at Mike. He simply stared at me, waiting for me to finish before he responded calmly, “I was not referring to her.”. “My father is not even around here,” Kristine responded, as she entered the interrogation room in a rush.“Isn’t he? Do we know that for a fact?” Mike asked. “I am prepared to have a blood test conducted to confirm that I am not the murderer. Are you?” he taunted Kristine. “Yes,” she replied, staring at Mike defiantly. “And perhaps someone would like to track down our wayward father,” Mike suggested.I looked at Connor, who had entered the room behind Kristine. He nodded, understanding I wanted him to call and confirm where Seth was located. He would be home, and we would be no further ahead in figuring this out. I looked to Jack, “Have the doctor come over to do a blood test for Mike,” I asked. “And me,” K
