Matt didn't know who to approach about the matter, since the Supreme Alpha had forbidden him from seeing Viola, ordering the men to keep him out entirely until her execution.
So he went looking for Zoe instead, but when he couldn't find her anywhere and was told she'd returned to her fashion house, he reached out there too, only to learn she'd left on a trip to a neighboring pack to sample fabric. Matt didn't think much of it, since it wasn't unusual for her to travel for business, as long as her guards were with her.
That left him with the doctor, so he went to find Gilbert. On his way there, he ran into Laila coming down the corridor, and the moment she saw him, she stopped him.
"Matt, is it true, what I saw on the screen just now? The Supreme Alpha just announced Viola will be executed tomorrow, for conspiring with the mermaids. What is going on?" Laila demanded, unable to believe the Sebastian she witnessed fall madly for his Luna was now planning to execute her himself.
