Chapter 240 240: Shadows of betrayal...

There was a long pause before I recovered and chuckled.

"C'mon, I know Nathan can be anything, but association with the Dark One or being the Dark One is pretty steep."

"Well," Caius shrugged. "I've looked into a lot of things aside from just the video evidence. Blue Ridge pack is the only Werewolf pack that was not directly hit by the ferals. The one time they had an incident was during the burial ceremony of Alpha Loga,n and it's safe to assume that it was because of the Moonsinger."

Now that Caius had mentioned it, Blue Ridge has never really been hit by the Ferals. "I don't know how to react to this. I agree that his video does look strange,ge but we cannot just conclude. Accusing someone of being the dark one is a strong allegation."

"I'll try to bring more evidence, Alpha. Besides," he lowered his voice, ice, "Something is troubling me about Nathan's time in our dungeon."

"What do you mean?" I asked, instantly alert.

"Four years is a long time… long enough to forge an alliance among our people, plant seeds of doubt and do whatever he wants to do." Caius's eyes had darted around as if to ensure no one was eavesdropping. "I remembered my father mentioning to me casually that Nathan was having it too easy. He had almost no restriction except he was confined."

"Your point?" I asked.

"For him to have coordinated Alpha Logan's death from inside the dungeons… it suggests a network, planning and resources. Who knows what else he might have orchestrated and what he's capable of doing? There is no single record of ammunition or strange faces coming in or leaving the pack…"

"Are you saying he has allies amongst our people?"

"Or he might have planned all of these things ahead of time and used the Harvest Moon to finalize them. My gut instincts tell me so," Caius said.

Gammas, unlike other creatures, were built specifically for warfare, so 90% of the time, they're always sure of things like these. But the suggestion that Nathan had been in the dungeon planning to lay siege sent ice through my veins.

"You think there are more plots we don't know about?"

"With your permission, I'd like to investigate the guards who served at the dungeon during Nathan's imprisonment. There might be connections we've missed."

"Go ahead," I agreed and was about to leave when Caius placed a hand on my arm, making me pause and turn to him.
