Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince
“The soldiers must have investigated after the attack. They would have found this trail.”
“And it probably led nowhere,” I say, studying the blood spatter. The trail is clear for perhaps twenty feet, then vanishes completely. No drag marks, no continued drops, nothing. Whoever orchestrated this knew how to cover their tracks. “That’s why we’re here.”

The air shimmers, and threads of silver light begin to weave outward from the blood, tracing a path invisible to ordinary sight.
