Chapter 110

Lucian’s POV
“Black wolf of all kinds of wolves?” Rafe commented, a frown creasing his brow. “Isn’t that strange?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ.net
We all turned to him, silently asking for clarification.
“They are rare,” Rafe continued. “Only top-tier Alphas like Kael are black wolves. If there was any other black wolf in our territory, we would know. Kael would have sensed its presence immediately.”
“Definitely there was no black wolf,” Kael said confidently. “I never sensed any in our territory, except for my father.”
“Then why did she claim it?” Roman asked, his voice sharp with skepticism.
“Maybe, just as that officer said, she made it up to save herself,” I replied, unable to draw any other conclusion.
The video had shown it clearly. She had aimed directly at Alice and fired. There had been nothing between them. Alice had been the target, and nothing could erase that fact.
“She might not be a traitor, but she still killed our sister,” Jason said grimly. “There is no excuse for that.”
“She was going to talk about Sophia,” Roman interjected, “but the officer interrupted her, keeping her under pressure to confess.”
“And she did confess,” Jason added quickly, his voice cold. “Whatever her reason, it does not change the fact that she killed my sister. I will never forgive her for that. You can give her a pass for not being a traitor, but not for being a murderer.”
I nodded in agreement. “Unless something comes to light proving that there really was a wolf between them, only then will I believe her.”
As we spoke, the others had no argument. Our sister was dead. That was an undeniable truth.
“She doesn’t answer when we ask her,” Roman said.
“Because she has nothing to defend herself with,” Jason said sharply. “Just like that officer said, we’re not buying her story about a black wolf.”
“Alright!” Kael said, his voice firm. “For now, let’s leave it for further investigation. We’ll move on to the next.”
His gaze settled on Roman and Rafe, sharp and impatient, as if he could barely wait to hear what they had discovered about Kaizan.
Roman took a deep breath and explained everything that had happened at Castons.
So, it wasn’t Eira. Sophia was the one with Keiren, the one Kaizan is looking for Roman finished hesitantly, glancing at Kael to gauge his reaction.
Kael remained unmoved, his expression unreadable. His girlfriend had been fucking someone else, yet he seemed completely unbothered by being cuckolded. What the hell?
A tense silence hung in the room before Kael finally spoke. “Rafe, get more information on how Eira, Alice, and Sophia reached that place, and see if there are any other videos from before or after the incident we can access. Also, all the case files related to Eira.””
“I’m already on it,” Rafe said. “It’ll take a day or two get the proofs, since it’s from six years ago. But, yeah, I am going to get those files today.”
“It was a deserted area, impossible for anyone to reach on foot,” Roman added. “If you look the video carefully, you can see the light behind Eira—it seems to be from a car’s headlight. Most likely, she went there in a vehicle. We need to check whose car it was or what kind of a vehicle they used.”
“Alice and Eira didn’t have a car. Only Sophia did,” I added. “Alice was scared of driving, and Eira didn’t know how. So if that’s the case, we’re left with Sophia.”
“She used some high-end luxury car back then, right?” Roman asked. “We have to see if that’s the car they used. I’m not sure if it’s still around after all these years, but at least we know the type.”
Kael hummed and turned to Rafe. “You know what to do. I’ll leave it to you.”
“Sure,” Rafe replied, his confidence clear. He knew he could get anything out if he set his mind to it.
“What about her child and mate?” Kael asked as he turned to me and Jason.
Ah, this was getting more complicated the deeper we dug.
“We found more traces, and they led to the RavenClaw pack,” I said, watching Kael’s expression harden at the mention.
The Alpha of RavenClaw was another top-tier young Alpha. It was rare for two top-tier Alphas not to be hostile toward each other for not reason at all, yet now that Alpha might be involved with Eira. If they came to face again each other, I am sure, there wasn’t going to be any pleasant outcome.
“I forgot to mention something,” Roman added. “Kaizan warned us to be careful of the Alpha of RavenClaw pack. Something seems to be brewing over there. But that bastard will only tell us once we hand him over that bitch Sophia.”
Kael controlled his expression and asked, “Does that Alpha of RavenClaw Pack have Eira’s child?”
“Not sure if the child is with him,” I replied. “But the traces led to his pack, so it’s likely the child is there. Not just the child—her grandparents seem to be there as well. The old hags ran to RavenClaw pack after fleeing from here.”
“That means they might have the child,” Kael said, his tone sharp. “Her grandparents searched for her with the help of that Alpha, found out Eira had a child. As well got money from that bastard Alpha, bought the child from traffickers, and now they’re raising him.”
“That’s what we thought as well,” I said. “But there’s another question. That bastard might be the father of the child. That could be why those old hags ran to him for help. We also don’t know which packs they passed through before coming to our pack. Maybe they knew that bastard before. As grandparents, they must have known their granddaughter was pureblood and might have made a deal with that Alpha. Eira must have been his mate, and
“She is not his mate,” Kael cut in quickly, his voice cold and controlled.
Silence fell over the room.
