Chapter 6: My Prince Charming

*Theo*

My eyes were focused on the files in front of me, but my thoughts were elsewhere. The scent of blood lingered in my office even after the cleaners had spent hours scrubbing my office upside down, and after all the furniture was replaced.

There was a knock on the door and I looked up to see Jake standing there. I was expecting him. “Any luck tracking down the assassins?” | started with my question.

He shook his head as he crossed the room to stand in front of my desk. “Nothing yet. I’ve got a team working on it.”

I nodded. I had figured as much. “Their entrance and exit was quick… too quick.”

“I agree. I believe they knew the palace quite well. We haven’t found a single trace of them anywhere. This was defi nitely a professional job,” my Beta said.

I considered his words and found them to be in line with what I had experienced. This was a crafty enemy. Not just anyone could’ve pulled it off. “What did Father have to say about the whole thing?”

“I haven’t spoken to him about it yet. I doubt he knows.”

“Very well. Leave it to me.”

“Alpha, you want to-”

“Father doesn’t trust anyone,” I reminded him. “Even me.”

“Of course, Alpha.” He paused and then asked, “So… why did you spare the girl?”

The girl.

A streak of anger flared up inside of me thinking about her. How dare she speak to me like that?

After taking a deep breath, I replied, “If she’s smart, she won’t say a word to anyone, especially not now.” She was in the zoo, after all, and that should teach her a lesson.

“Uhm, about that.”

“Yes?” My eyes went back to Jake’s face, wondering what he wanted to say about her.

He inhaled deeply, held it for a second, and then in a timid voice not matching his girth, he replied, “I think you may have underestimated this girl.”

| raised a brow and studied him for a moment before seeking clarification. “Underestimated her how? Are you say ing she’s one of them?” That wasn’t possible, a tiny thing like her, covered in dirt….

“No, no. I’ve done a thorough background check on her. She’s definitely not one of them. That’s not what I meant, Al pha.”

“Well, then what is it, Jake?” | asked, growing more irritat ed by the second. “Unless…” | paused for a second, and frowned, “they have disobeyed my orders and actually harmed her?”
