The room was dimly lit, and silence hung in the air like a heavy curtain.
Kimberly sat on the long leather couch with a file in her hands, her brows furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line.
Theo stood by the window, arms crossed, staring blankly outside while Elijah paced back and forth.
"This... this isn't just suspicion anymore," Kimberly finally said, holding the file up. "We have proof."
Theo didn't turn around. "Are you sure it's her?"
Elijah stopped pacing and nodded.
"Positive. One of the trackers traced an encrypted signal.
It was coming from her room, alpha. Mona planted a cloaking charm around her space, but she wasn't smart enough to cover her trails outside the main house."
Kimberly flipped open the file again, her voice steady but low. "She's been meeting with two of the elders, Elder Gregor and Elder Evans.
The same two who questioned your rise to alpha king."
Theo finally turned around, his jaw clenched.
