ALEXAVIAN’S POVI had sent Jules to bring in Penelope immediately we crossed the threshold of Crimson Pack. We had barely settled in the throne room before Jules entered with a frightened maid, his expression grim. “My lord, Penelope is dead.” The maid said.​“What?” Lorraine choked out, her face draining of color. “What do you mean Penelope is dead?”“What was the cause of her death?” A frown settled on my face as I stared at the maid.“She…she…” her shoulders trembled.​Jules let out a sigh, before waving the maid off. “The maids on duty reported that she began coughing up blood late last night before passing away in her chamber.”​My gaze flicked across the room to Alpha Justin, who immediately wrapped his arms around Lorraine, pulling her against his chest to comfort her.We had left the Midnight Pack that morning, rushing back to the Crimson Pack so Lorraine could finally confront Penelope. Despite our haste, we had arrived too late.​She had been silenced. Whoever was pulling

CHAPTER 53 -LORRAINE’S POV ​Casimir insisted I follow him back to his personal wing after revealing he had a truth spell.​My eyes scanned his room as I waited near his desk while he searched through a high shelf. I looked at his dark hair falling softly down to his nape, down to his broad back as he moved books aside.​If we had met under different circumstances, if I had not met Alexavian first…would I have fallen for him?​I shook my head, removing the thought immediately. It was pointless thinking about impossible scenarios.My gaze fell on the couch and I smiled as I saw a lollipop sticking out of the dark couch.​“You love lollipops as well?” I walked over to the couch, reaching down to pull it out. It was already unwrapped.​“No, I do not,” he answered, his back still turned as he searched the shelf. “Why do you ask?”​“I just thought...” I glanced down at the candy. Andreus must have dropped it when he visited. “It is nothing.” I tossed the lollipop back onto the couch.​“Ev

LORRAINE’S POV ​“Lord Alexavian wants you inside,” Jules repeated softly as I stood rooted to the floor outside his door. ​A shaky breath escaped my lips, a faint "Oh..." slipping out the moment his words finally registered in my chaotic mind. ​Alexavian... he still trusts me? ​I tightly clenched my fists, forcing my trembling legs to take steady steps back into the room ​My gaze instantly landed on Andreus leaning against the far window frame, a deep scowl etched across his face. He narrowed his eyes at me in cold silence before turning his head to stare out into the courtyard. ​I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat tightening. He clearly hated Alexavian’s decision to let me back in. ​My focus shifted back to Alexavian lying motionless across the bed. If anything, the agony twisting his features seemed to have intensified in the short minutes I was outside. ​I rushed to the side of the bed in large strides, my hands shaking violently as I stood beside him, unsure of wher

ALEXAVIAN’S POV“I suspect Lord Andreus’s disappearance is directly tied to Lord Casimir,” Jules stated firmly, stepping up beside me.I gave a silent nod.Casimir had been the last person Andreus visited before returning to the dining hall.I drew a sharp breath.I should never have entrusted him with the investigation. I should have confronted the ungrateful brat myself.I had considered countless possibilities, yet I had failed to realise that a skinwalker was already inside the Crimson Pack’s walls.That lapse in judgement had cost me my brother and several pack members.“What have we discovered about the cause of the sleepwalking among the missing werewolves?” I asked, turning my attention to the matter at hand.What had happened was done. There was no point dwelling on blame.“Yes, My Lord,” Jules replied with a sigh, leaning against the bedpost. “I received the investigation report while you were unconscious.” He paused, his voice dropping. “They discovered Willbane mixed into
