The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 242 242: Confrontation...

One thing about suspicion that no one talks about is how deeply rooted it grows.

It takes a tree about five to ten years to form deep roots, but it takes less than 24 hours for suspicion to grow into something so rancid. As I sat in the situation room, my eyes travelled from one face to another, gauging their expressions as they all spoke.

One of them had killed Caius. One of them must have been thrown off by the possibility that Caius was onto them or something and must have used the opportunity to end him. My gaze strayed to Lenny. He was focusing on the board where one of the Gammas was illustrating something.

Suddenly, he turned to me, and our gaze met and held for some seconds before his voice filtered into my head.

"Is everything alright?" he asked.

I didn't answer. I looked away. My thoughts strayed again to Caius's statement. I was trying to make sense out of everything. I wanted to understand what exactly was going on. Because up until now, nothing made sense.

If Lenny was Caius's suspect, why? Why would Lenny team up with Nathan? How did Nathan manage so far with all the massive destruction? I guess I would never know…

"Where is Caius?" I asked suddenly, making everyone in the room pause and look at me. They all had strange expressions on their faces. One by one, they turned to stare at me. Not before I saw all of them exchange glances.

"Lenny, I thought I asked you to send for Caius. Why isn't he here? Why are the lesser Gammas her and not him? And why are we not starting with an immediate response to what just happened? Why am I been bored with all these histories of things that do not relate to what's happening?"

The Gammas exchanged glances again before lowering their eyes. No one was yet to respond to me.

"Didn't I just ask a question?" I fumed.

"The Gammas are only saying what they've heard their leader talk. Remember, they have no influence over decision-making that concerns the pack," Lenny murmured.

"So, where is their leader? Where is Gamma Caius?"

They exchanged worried glances again before Lenny cleared his throat. "I asked one of the guards to go over to his house,se but he brought a rather strange report. He said the house looked like it had been ransacked, and there was blood everywhere but no sign of the Gamma."
