ROYCE.

It isn’t hard to find where Aleric is being held.

The power that I can feel radiating from the northern side is intense and when I burst through the entrance of a hallway similar to the one where I was held, I can smell him.

Past the witches that are watching him, and despite the commotion, as some try to stop me and others on edge at the sound of Raihana’s seream that travels through the halls, the emotions and nerves are rves heightening.

I come to an abrupt halt, raising my hand to show them I’m not here to fight, but what truly gets to me is the fact that nothing is out of place.

Nothing is going on here.

Aleric is simply sitting there, past the barriers that hold him hostage, with his head in his hands.

“Royce Arden, surrender!” Magdalene’s voice comes from behind me. Even the sound of her approaching was silent.

I glance back at the woman that stands in the entrance but doesn’t respond, before looking back at Aleric, who now raises his head.

Curiosity in his eyes.

What the hell is happening?

If he is here, then who killed Chris?

“Serafina’s mate is dead! What do you have to say for yourself?” Magdalene asks me sharply.

I frown, trying to figure out how Aleric did it

… there are at least five witches here and a few werewolves… if he did something, wouldn’t they have seen him? Even if he was in or out, there had to be some discrepancy in him being here in front of them. 1

“I didn’t do that… but someone sure did,” I reply, glancing back at Aleric.

How…

“Then let’s make haste and go to them to find out!” Janaina says as she appears. behind Magdalene, slightly out of breath.

I glance back at Aleric.

“One moment…” I murmur, walking to the edge of the barrier. I look him in the eye.

“I know you did this… I don’t know how… but you did. And rest assured you will pay, you killed someone innocent

“I’m sitting behind this barrier, whilst you- a rapist is walking free! I did nothing! I have no power to free myself, unlike you,” Aleric says icily. “Justice will indeed be served!” 1

“Stop fooling around,” I snarl, about to turn away when I pause, looking back at him. ” How do you know I freed myself?” 2

Past the wavering energy of the force field, I see his eyes flicker into slits, a hint of a smile crossing his lips before he sighs.

“The entire building heard the commotion.

Don’t make matters harder for the witches,

Royce. Admit to your crimes and perhaps your sentence, for abuse, assault and murder can be lessened.”

“Alpha Royce!” Janaina’s voice comes warningly.

I look at her and give her a nod. Glancing back at Aleric, I can’t help but feel uneasy at his calmness and the chilling confidence he holds…
