Colton's POV
Several thoughts coursed through my mind at once.
I could tell them that Lucien was busy investigating what had happened that day or he was tracking a criminal. I could even say that I didn't know where he was.
But instead, I found myself saying, "I killed him."
Gasps erupted and I let out a deep sigh.
Lucien wasn't just a nobody, he was from a noble family and had been my Beta, therefore it was shocking to them that I had killed him.
"Pack matters," I muttered, narrowing my eyes at them, daring anyone to speak to me.
"What kind of matters?" Alpha Sean asked, and I clenched my fist tightly.
It was becoming very difficult to be in the same room with him.
"Alpha Sean, is there a reason you're so interested in my pack?" I held his gaze. "If you have something to say, I suggest you spit it out now!"
Alpha Bridge cleared his throat. "You're without a Beta right now, Alpha Colton?"
