Chapter 68
CARLYLE’S POV
The night was supposed to be a respite, a haven for rest, but concerns pressed upon my mind, denying me the solace that slumber could offer. The room which was dimly lit by the soft glow of a bedside lamp, held shadows that mirrored the turbulence within.
My body craved sleep, a refuge to heal and rejuvenate, but my thoughts refused to be silenced. They were in disarray.
Images flickered through my mind – Donnie’s hurt expression, Mason’s innocent inquiries, Raina’s disruptive presence. Each thought added to the complexity of concerns that tugged at the edges of my consciousness. The responsibility of leadership weighed heavily as a burden that transcended the physical realm.
Laying on the sheets, my gaze drifted to the moonlit window with its silvery glow filtering through the curtains. The outside world seemed a distant reality, separated by the walls that confined me.
I longed for a reprieve, for the dreams that would offer sanctuary from the waking turnult. Yet, the carousel of thoughts persisted, a relentless loop that refused to grant me a clear mind.
The ticking of the clock resonated with the beats of my anxious heart. Every passing moment seemed tch, the darkness amplifying the magnitude of unresolved issues. Sleep eluded me, slipping through the crevices of worry and contemplation till the bright light of the morning sun began to shine.
Soon, Donald entered the room, looking so exhausted while interrupting the persistent carousel of my thoughts. His presence obviously brought with it the pressing matters that demanded attention.
Heaving a sigh, he sat on a chair just beside my bed.
“Carl, how are you doing?” he placed the middle and index finger of his right hand on my wrist, in a bid to feel my pulse.
Quickly, I pulled my hand to myself. “I’m all good as you can see. How about you?” I asked in return. Donald flashed me a querying look which signified that he didn’t understand the question I asked.
“I meant, how are you doing? You don’t look so great yourself, either.”
“I’m surely doing fine. Just the normal stress hanging around my shoulders.” He replied and I nodded. Poor thing! How can he call the increased activities normal? Deep down. I knew the whole situation was pressing heavily on him and he was trying to be strong for me.
“So, what are the progress we made today?” I changed the topic.
“I’ll start with the recent Alpha murder.” Donald began, his voice a solemn undercurrent to the weight of the news he carried. “I’ve been investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of the Sertid Alpha just like you instructed, and my suspicions point to Fernard.”
The seriousness of what he said filled the room, creating a tense atmosphere that required a careful

reply. I signaled to Donald to keep talking, silently asking him to openly explain the reasons behind his suspicions.
“Fernard had disagreements with the Sertid Alpha over territory disputes and resource allocation. Their arguments were escalating, and tensions within the pack were reaching a boiling point,” Donald explained, looking steadily at me as he went into details of the situation.
As he spoke, I listened carefully, contemplating the implications of Fernard’s potential involvement. The delicate balance of power within our supernatural world rested on the decisions I would make in the coming moments since the news about the murder had gone beyond what could be kept in secret.
“Moreover,” Donald continued, “there were eyewitness accounts of Fernard near the Alpha’s quarters around the time of his death. It’s circumstantial, but the pieces seem to align.”
