he started, and I could already feel my breathing rise with rage. He sighed. “I’m sorry, Alpha, I wanted to go with her but she disagreed and ordered I stayed back.”
“What? Where did she go?”
I asked, wearing my clothes sharply. I could already feel the knot tightening in my chest.
“To the Council.”
I growled. I was so furious. I told her to wait for me. I left the castle and hurried on my horse. I didn’t know if I should focus on my rage or the growing fear that had begun to weaken me. Oh, Naomi, I beg of you, please be safe and alright.
I sped to the Council and arrived quickly. I was hurrying into the Court when I heard a scream of pain and immediately, came the loud ringing of the giant bell. I felt Ryker push to the surface, and the Council’s army scattered around the place. That bell only rang in times of emergencies or when there was an invasion or something far more serious.
In a second, the whole place broke into chaos and I rushed inside, searching for Naomi, but I couldn’t find her. I followed the trail of witches that hurried up the stairs and we arrived at a spell room. As I neared the door, I found some Elder wolves at the entrance, their eyes holding unshed tears.
I pushed my way through the crowd, moving inside and I saw Valerie, and beside her was Zeriyah, crouching on the floor, and then blood splattered everywhere.
My breathing hitched, and I drew closer, realizing there was a body in Zeriyah’s arms. Oh no, Cora.
I gasped backward in shock. She was dead. Murdered, and Zeriyah was holding her body in her arms, crying profusely.
“Who did this?”
I asked, and Valerie shook her head.
“We found her like this, and the dagger is gone,”
she said almost in a daze.
What dagger? I wanted to ask but I realized Naomi wasn’t in the room. My heart banged harder against my chest and I left the room. I had to find my mate.
Suddenly, I couldn’t breathe. I tried mind-linking her but it wasn’t connecting. I hated this. I was left with no other option but to track her using her scent.
I moved out of the castle and into the darkness. The Council’s warriors were scattered around, thoroughly searching the territory. Naomi’s scent led me to the woods, and the more her scent grew stronger I began to feel her within me. “Naomi, where are you?”
I asked, moving past the trees with my nonhuman speed.
“Kill- I don’t know. I don’t know,”
she was panting hard and something in her voice caused me to stop instantly. Aside from her teary voice, I could feel a paralyzing amount of fear within me. It was coming from her.
“Stay where you are, I’ll find you,”
I rushed, increasing my speed. It didn’t take long before I found Naomi, crouched against a tree, crying profusely.
I hurried to her, pulling her quivering body up and I froze. My eyes began to trail from her trembling hands to her clothes which were drenched in blood. She was covered with blood.
“What happened to-“
I couldn’t move. I was paralyzed with fear and shock. “Naomi-“
No. Naomi couldn’t… she couldn’t… I could barely complete my thoughts.
“I don’t know, Killian. I can’t remember. I just found myself lost in the woods with blood over me,”
she was trembling in tears. Her broken state forced me out of my shock and I held her hand.
“Don’t-Don’t cry, Naomi, everything will be fine,”
I said, grabbing a handful of my hair in panic, thinking. But it didn’t last long as I noticed the warriors that had crossed over to the part of the woods we were in. “Killian. This blood isn’t mine. What have I done?”
she was quivering.
“Nothing,”
I said. “We have to get out of here now,”
I removed the cloak on her dress, it had more stains on it. I used it to clean her hands, but she still had blood smears on them. We had to leave the Council’s territory at once without being seen.
I scooped Naomi in my arms, moving with speed. I took the shortest route that led back to our horses. I placed Naomi on one of the horses and got in behind her, exiting the Council’s territory.
As soon as we reached our territory, I took her straight to our chamber through the back doors, placing her gently on the bed.
She had stopped crying, but her trembling body had only gotten worse. I crouched before her, taking her shaky and bloody hands in mine.
We remained in silence for long minutes and I fought the tears that wanted to escape my eyes. This was f*****g bad. I didn’t want to say it, and I didn’t want to think about it, but the truth was staring right at my face. Cora’s blood was on my mate’s hands. Oh, goddess, this was really bad. I had a lot of questions. Why on earth would Naomi go after Cora? Why did she kill her?
I shut my eyes as a careless tear slipped down. This wouldn’t end well. The Council won’t stop until they find out what happened to Cora. I knew Zeriyah too well; she wouldn’t rest until she discovers who murdered Cora.
Something was wrong. I held Naomi’s hands tightly. Something must have happened. I lifted my eyes to Naomi and even through the jammed gates of her eyelashes, tears rolled down her eyes.
“Naomi,”
I called gently. “Do you remember anything?”
I asked again, and she shook her head, unable to stop the fresh waters that escaped her eyes. “What’s the last thing you remember?”
I tried again.
“I was right here, waiting for you. And the next thing I remember, I was in the woods, covered in blood,”
As she explained, Ryker kept howling in the corner walls of my mind.
Why would Naomi possibly murder Cora?
I pulled her attention back to me. “Do you remember the dagger?”
I asked. Valerie had said something about a dagger taken at the same time Cora was murdered.
“What dagger?”
She asked in confusion.
“The one with Cora.”
Naomi furrowed more in confusion. “The oaken dagger?”
she asked, and I nodded. “No, I don’t,”
she replied. “What happened to it?”
“It’s missing.”
