Alpha Asher
There was a murmur among the council members, their eyes narrowing as they processed Asher’s words.
Asher continued, "However, I must take responsibility for one thing. When I was in Alaska trying to persuade my mate to return, I gave Detective Fred an Alpha command to arrest Veronica." His voice was steady, but he could feel Olivia's sharp intake of breath besides him. "I did this not because she was guilty of the crime, but because I needed Olivia to come with me. Veronica was not involved in Ronald’s death, and Fred knew it. But my command forced him to arrest her."
The room fell into a heavy silence. The weight of Asher’s confession hung in the air like a dense fog.
