Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince
“That’s what you’re here for. Investigate this matter and find out the truth.”
I sigh.
“I’ll go back to the scene. Something’s not adding up.”
When we part ways, I head back to the area in the forest where the incident occurred. The scene looks different in the daylight, less mysterious but somehow more troubling. My team is still combing through every inch, but they’re finding nothing useful. No scents, no tracks, no evidence that anyone other than Zane was ever here.
I’m crouched near where Selene found him when something catches my eye: a faint, red residue on some leaves, barely visible unless you’re looking for it.
