The Alpha King is unavailable 190

The morgue door opened again, and my father, Elder Richard Stone, entered with several other family elders. Their faces were solemn, eyes red-rimmed with grief.

My father approached the body slowly, his usual commanding presence diminished by sorrow. He placed a weathered hand on my grandmother's forehead in a traditional gesture of respect.

"My mother," he said simply, his voice rough with emotion.

He nodded without looking at me, his attention fixed on his mother's face. "Go. We will prepare the ceremonial arrangements."

I turned to leave, noticing that Olivia was already heading for the door. Despite our estrangement, we were united in our need for answers.

In the corridor outside the morgue, Olivia pulled out her phone and dialed a number. I caught the name on her screen: Chief Walter Garrison.

"Chief Garrison," she said, her voice steady despite her tear-stained face. "This is Olivia Winters. I need to report a murder."

"Yes," I answered without hesitation. "Just like she killed our daughter."

His jaw tightened. “Lily died from kidney failure, Olivia. Victoria had nothing to do with that."
