"I suspect the Beta of treason against his Alpha and brother," I stated, my voice gaining a cold, sharp edge. "He is trying to claim the throne. He was having an affair with my murderous loon of a sister. He is complicit. I want him arrested and jailed. Now."
The guards exchanged glances, hesitation flickering across their faces, and that single moment of doubt sent rage coursing through my veins like liquid fire.
"Did I stutter?" I snapped, my voice climbing to a shriek that echoed through the corridors. "The Beta conspired with the woman who murdered your Alpha! He stood by and watched while my husband's throat was slit! And you dare hesitate?"
One of the guards stepped forward, his expression carefully neutral. "Luna, the Beta has already fled. He left the pack house shortly after the Alpha was taken to the healers."
Of course he had. Coward.
