I headed to the questioning room. I asked Justine and Maliya to meet me there.
If I’m going to do this, I’m going to need all the help I can get.
When I got there, the enforcer, Shiloh Gilbert, was bound in silver, sitting on a bench.
The moment he saw me, he crouched down and knelt with his face lowered.
The Kappa, who was guarding him, took a seat for me, and I sat down.

I looked at Shiloh, who still hadn’t raised his head to look at me out of respect for my position, and I have to give it to him.
“I believe you know why you are here, right?” I asked, clearing my throat.
“Yes, my lady,” he said. “But I swear, I didn’t do anything intentionally, I would never betray his grace”
“So, let’s start,” I muttered. “Don’t lie to me, you might not have another chance to save yourselfTM
“Six months ago,” Shiloh began. “I got a signed order with the Alpha’s seal and scent on it, instructing me to take soldiers to Seeland and other parts of deep west to collect taxes, and if they fail, I should attack them brutally, and so I did as instructed”
“Who gave you the order, and why didn’t you confirm with the pha?” I asked, and he looked ashamed.
“It was from the Alpha’s personal aid, Ramos”, he said, and I note.
“Didn’t you think it could be fabricated? The Alpha’s aid is not the alpha, and this statement is stupid,” I blasted, anger stirring up inside me.
“I swear, I didn’t think it was fabricated,” Shiloh said, weeping. had all the evidence of the previous orders and letters the Alpha had personally given me before, that’s why I didn’t suspect anything”
The man kept pleading his case, but I wasn’t going to buy his pin party so easily, especially since these people are so good at faking things.
His reactions could have been planned, and he was re-enacting them.
“Shiloh, I assume you are a sensible man,” I said. “I don’t want into get to the torture chamber, please don’t push my hands and make me do what I don’t want to. Tell the truth!”
“It’s the truth, I swear!”
“Very well then,” I resigned. “Don’t blame me now, I gave you a chance”
Theo had been so lenient with them that they had forgotten their place and now tried to subdue him
*Please have mercy, Lady Kaia”, Shiloh rolled on the ground, and was shocked
“The security aid, where is he right now?” I asked the Kappa, wh was waiting asade
“Only the Alpha knows where he is, Lady Kaia,” Kappa Taylor sa
And it got even worse. I wasn’t aware of any security aide until

“Kappa Taylor, lock him up”. I ordered. “Go confirm his statement for me. If it turns out that he has been lying to me. I will order his execution immediately”
I said, and their eyes widened in shock. I was sure that Theo had never had a reason to go hard on them and use the lase to its full extent.
However, this is treason, and I wouldn’t stand here letting them get away with killing innocent people and framing my trate for it.
“I hope you know the implications of what you did. Shiloh Gilbert”. I said, and he nodded. “I’m glad you know because this isn’t something to joke about, and until the person you mention comes to light, you’ll remain locked up, and if you’re lying you’ll get the punishment for it; harshest in the book”
I stood up to leave while they took Shiloh back to his cell.
“Listen, Kappa Taylor,” I said. “Put him in the maximum security cell, and don’t let anyone who is not the alpha, beta or me get to him”
“Yes, ma’am”, Kappa Taylor bowed.
I turned and left. When I was coming out the door, Justine and Maliya were standing by the entrance.
They looked flaggerbasted.
“Lady Kaia, remind me to stay out of your way”, Justine joked, barking away playfully. “You looked like a real tyrant back
there.”
“Oh, stop it?” I waved my hand.
“No, seriously, Kaia”, Maliya chimed in. “If Alpha Theo were has evil as you, none of this would have happened”
I stopped, turned to face them with a concocted expression.
“Are you saying I’m evil or what?” I asked.
“No, no! That’s not what I meant!” She said, backing away.
“I thought as much”, I breathed, and they giggled. “Why didn’t you two come earlier?”
“So sorry, I had to do something,” Justine said.
“Do something?” I repeated. “You reek of Zane. Stop lying”
“I’m not lying.” Justine gasped. “Well, reeking of Zane was something I was doing”
“I could have guessed that much”, I teased, and we all went to sit the beta ming
The beta wing felt safer with fewer nosy people than the alpha wing, where spies and gossip turk
“What was the outcome of the questioning?” Maliya asked.
“Nothing much came out of it, to be honest,” I sighed.
“You should have tortured him straight up?” Justine said.
“I wanted to do that. However, I have a feeling this guy is being
“What do you mean?” she asked, and I sighed

“I mean, if he had been guilty, he wouldn’t be lurking around for us to catch him that easily”, I said, and she nodded, thinking. “I know how criminals can be, and Shiloh doesn’t seem like one. This is not me declaring him innocent, I’m just saying he might have been set up”
“If he were guilty, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to stay here and let us catch him.”
“You are right, Kaia”, Maliya chipped in. “We got to Shiloh too quickly, as if they were waiting for us to catch him. This was definitely a setup to throw us off their trail. We need to find the real people behind this”
“They must have forged the documents, made him take the order and framed Enforcer Shiloh for it”. Justine said.
“Right,” I said. “We need to investigate and get to the bottom of things. I feel like there is a lot to unpack, and we can only do that when we get our hands on the mastermind behind the forget orders”
“What should we do now?” Justine looked confused. “Theo might have been saved this time, but I don’t think it will last long they will definitely retaliate”
“I want this to remain between us while we work swiftly to piece everything together.” I suggested, sighing. “They wanted to get rid of Theo, and that meant one thing: they are not done yet they will be back again, and maybe this time even stronger”
They looked at me, confused, but I know what I’m doing. Masterminds don’t go away when the plan falls through; they restrategize and come back stronger.
I had helped Draven a lot in the past, and I had come across many things like this.
We can easily solve this problem if we can trace it back to the source, and I know it would be hard, but it has to be done.
“Any updates on Cara’s whereabouts?” I asked after a while.
“I heard from the ladies in the house that Cara might have gone to visit her son, Maliya reported.
“That’s a relief,” Justine said, putting a hand over her chest. “You know what? I think Cara is up to something nasty. I can’t tell what it is, but she has been too quiet lately, and that’s unlike her
We exchanged looks, and I felt a creeping feeling seep out
“I think the Council Spokesman is acting a lot more carefully after the court hearing, he hasn’t done anything”, Justine said, switching back on track.
“Alright, keep an eye out for anything useful”, I said. “And I’ll need you to question Shiloh with me tomorrow, right
“I have been dying to get my hands dirty,” Justine grinned. “Leto just that”
“Hey, we are not going to torture the poor man, he’s clearly scar of everything happening to hun”, Maliya tund to with her.
“Maliya is right, Justine”, I said, and her face fell. “We shouldn’t hurt the wrong person for no reason
“Well, if he refuses to talk, I can use some dust powder to get it out of him. What do you think he windet, will gen đăng

“Oh, please,” she rolled her eyes. “Whit pretending, that guy is head over heels with you. Don’t play the pretend game with
me”
“That’s not my business, just” Maliya said. “I don’t have a man. Besides, my mate would be waiting to find me”
“Well, since your mate isn’t here yet. Why don’t you give him a chance?” She asked, and I squinted at her to stop. “What? Did I say anything wrong?” She asked instead.
“I can’t risk it. I don’t want to hurt him if I find my mate in the future. So, no, I don’t want him,” Maliya firmly said, and I
agree.
Matebond is very powerful; I felt it with Draven. I wouldn’t want someone to go through when they have already given their heart to someone else.
It will break them completely; they might never recover.
“Ladies,” I stood up. “I think I should get some rest and prepare for tomorrow”
“You should. You’ve been through a rough few days; it’s only right”
We bid each other good night, and I returned to my room.
Theo was making a call with his back turned to me. I walked in and hugged him from behind.
He flinched, jolting in fear.
