REAGAN’S POV.

Okay.

I have one question to ask amidst all this chaos.

WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON?

One minute Ashanti was being led into the stadium by my Beta and the next she was being dragged away like she was some criminal. If Kyle had not stopped me, I would have jumped right into the stadium from where I was seated.

“Alpha Reagan.” His voice calls my name, snapping me out of my thoughts. I look over my shoulders.

“What?” I bark.

“You’re walking past your office.” He says, calmly. I look back ahead and that’s when I notice I’m indeed two steps away from where my office door is situated. Groaning, I pull myself behind and stand In Front of the door. He opens it and once I step in, I’m beyond shocked to see Alpha Morgan and Rowan already seated in my office, engaged in a raging conversation on the topic. The moment they see me, they rise to feets and bow.

Alpha Reagan, how do you intend to handle this situation?” Asks, Alpha Morgan, impatiently.

“Yes. Tell us. What that girl did was sacrilegious! She deserves to be hanged immediately!”

“Silence!” I roar furiously and they both snap their mouths shut?

Hanged my a s s!

I’d cut my head off and feed it to the crows before I let my mate get hanged.

I’m walking towards my office table, but halfway to it, I turn to Kyle who looks ready to execute any command I give him right now.

“The fighters who are accusing Ashanti of poisoning them, I don’t care if they’re still puking their guts out or in a coma, bring them to me. CCTV footage, bring it to me. I want every detective in this pack on this issue. Now!”

“That will be done with immediately effect, My Lord.” Kyle bows and swiftly exits the office. I resume my walk to my work table where I sit on the chair and heave out an exasperated sigh.

Alpha Morgan and Rowan are staring at me, their eyes begging me to let them talk but I tell them with my own eyes to be quiet if they want to keep having heads.

I’m too upset, too furious, too scared to have a conversation with anyone now. The only thing

I want to talk about at this moment is how to get Ashanti out of this mess.

A murder attempt on the lives of two Lycan Alphas. That is not a crime even I, the Lycan King, can get her out without proper investigation. If evidence leads to her, she will be hanged and there’s nothing I can do about that. So, you see where I’m standing.

My a s is on hot coals.

She didn’t do it.

I

know she didn’t do it. Ashanti is not a cheat, neither is she a murderer. She has no motive for

trying to kill two Lycan Alphas and she’s definitely not the type to cheat in order to win a competition. She’s strong, she’s an excellent fighter and she knows that. She believes in herself, so there’s no way she would have planned to poison her opponents just so she could have an easy victory.

This is another one of those planned acts.

Her enemies are at it again.

This time around, when I get a hold of the culprit, I won’t go easy on her. He or she will feel the wrath of my anger.

Twenty minutes later, the door to my office is opened and Kyle walks in with the two girls right behind him with a few guards. I don’t let them come to me, I rise to my feet and go to meet them.

The girls look terrified.

Good day, Alpha.” They both greet in unison.

There’s nothing good about the day.

“Tell me what happened.” I order calmly, dangerously. The girls exchange knowing looks and nod at each other before one of them, the red-haired one, clears her throat to speak.

“Ashanti poisoned our meals so she could have easy victories over us.” Says the girl, but I don’t believe a word she just said. I look at Kyle who shakes his head.

He doesn’t believe it either.

“No.” I say, looking back at the girls. “Ashanti would never do a thing like that.”

“How are you so sure?” That’s Alpha Rowan. He rises to his feet and comes to meet us at the centre of the office. My eyes are glued to his lips and I’m fighting my urge to leave a punch on it. A punch that will keep the mouth shut. “That girl Ashanti, she’s an ordinary werewolf who was going to go up against Lycan Soldiers. She’d do anything to win and poisoning the meals of her opponents to incapacitate them was the easiest thing to do.” I shoot him a sharp glare that makes him back up.

“You know nothing about that girl, so be quiet!” I sneer, before looking back at Kyle. “The CCTV.” He stretches his right palm out and in it lies a flash. I pick it up and fly back to my table

at the speed of light.

The rest of the men, except the guards, join ine as I watch footage of Ashanti arriving at the Premium Residence and going to the room where the meals were being kept, but other than that, there’s nothing else that directly ties her to being the one who poisoned the meals.

Even more confusing!

Just then, the office door opens and a guard walks in with something that looks like grass a small bottle in his hand.

and

“My Lord.” He calls with a deep bow.

“Speak.” I order impatiently. He raises his head to look at me.

“After searching Ashanti’s locket room at the stadium, these two things were found in it. This herb is what they claim she used to poison her opponents meals and the liquid in this little bottle is the deadly prison they claim she put in the meals for Alphas.” The guards’ words splatter across my face like hot oil. I am hot and cold and unsteady.

That can’t be right.

That can’t be true.

“She tried to kill us!” Alpha Morgan insists and I shoot him with an angry glare that shuts his

mouth.

Something’s not right!” That’ Kyle. I shoot him an eager look. He looks back at the CCTV footage and backwards the scene where Ashnati arrives at the Premium Residence and goes into the room for meals. It ends there as usual.

My frustration peaks.

“Why does the footage show her going into the room, but there’s no other footage of her actually poisoning the meals?” I ask, agitated.

“That’s because there cannot be footage of something that never happened.” He says and looks closer at the screen. “And that time. Quarter past eleven am, that’s just ten minutes before I went to the dressing room to talk to her. When I saw her she was angry with me for asking someone to tell her to meet me at the Premium Residence only for her to arrive and I was nowhere to be found.”

The entire room goes still and I stare blankly at the wall ahead of

me.

After a few seconds, I look back at Kyle who has a knowing look in his eyes.

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” He asks me quietly and I slowly nod my head.

“She has been set up.

“F u c k!” He curses bitterly and I look at him in awe.
