After I got off the phone with my assistant, Ash, I dialed another number.. the pack security office.
The call was answered almost immediately.
“Release the men from the cells and send them to my office immediately,” I instructed.
There was a brief pause.
“Understood, Alpha.”

Jacob’s expression hardened.
“The investigation is still ongoing, and if any of you are found to be responsible for what happened, yc will be punished accordingly.”
I paused, letting my words settle.
“But right now, I have no reason to contique keeping you locked up,” I said.
A bitter laugh escaped Jacob. “So this is what this is about?”
I looked at him.
“All of a sudden, you are trying to prove you are a good leader by letting us go?” Jacob added.
His eyes narrowed.
“Setting us free from a cell means nothing, Alpha Alexander. If you are not willing to do what is right, th you can go ahead and keep us locked up.”
I leaned back in my chair, relaxing slightly as I studied him.
That kind of talk was expected.
FAYE
I was already standing outside the office when I heard voices coming from inside.
I had come to meet up with him after getting dressed, but the moment I reached the door, I stopped.
Jacob’s voice carried through the room, filled with the same anger and defiance he had shown since he was brought in.
I raised my hand, intending to knock.

I knew Alexander well enough to know that sound.
It was the kind of laugh that carne when he had heard enough.
“Shut up, Jacob.”
The coldness in his voice immediately made me lower my hand
The atmosphere seemed to shift.

The silence that followed was immediate.
Alexander didn’t raise his voice.
He didn’t need to.
“I am done listening to you use the voices of the wolves as an excuse for disrespect.”
His words were sharp but still controlled.
