RYKER’S PO.V

I could see Camilla’s confusion and I could practically hear the unasked question that was swirling through her mind. “Wasn’t the entire point of keeping it here to find out if he had someone in the pack?” She opened her mouth to speak and I knew that was what she was going to say so I cut her off by speaking directly into her mind.

“The halls aren’t safe anymore, someone might be listening. We don’t want to give them a reason to think that there might be more somewhere. Until we are sure that whoever it is has been dealt with, you should speak directly to my mind. Just go with it.”

I saw understanding dawn on her features and she nodded. “What are we going to do now? We don’t even know who took them or how to get some more, it will take some

time.”

“I will go to the generals and the maids and find out every single person who was in the palace at the time of the attack on the school. Someone must have either seen or heard something or even been part of the people who took it.”

“You think there was more than one person?” she asked and I shrugged. “It could have been a solo mission.”

“In a palace this big, someone was bound to have seen something or heard something. Even if the other people weren’t directly involved, they definitely had something to do with it,” I dropped my lips to her ear and whispered. “Go to Christine and make sure that the others are safe. I will come to you later.”

I pulled back and watched as she nodded and disappeared. I looked around the office with a sigh. It grated on my nerves to see it in such disarray but at least we knew to be on edge. The most annoying part about it was the fact that I couldn’t get a hit on the scent. Whoever did it had found a way to keep their scent hidden. They managed to come in, rummage and get out without leaving anything behind.

I walked out of the office and made a m ental note to handle it later. I immediately went to the generals for the list of guards who were in the palace at the time. I didn’t tell them what I needed it for, only that I needed it and they didn’t waste any time in producing it for me. Apparently, they had a schedule and he just handed it over to me.

“The problem with this is that some people left their duty posts to help with the fires,” he explained as he handed the schedules over to me. “There is no way of knowing the exact people who were present and absent at that time but this is the best I can. I can talk to the guards myself and figure out-”

“No,” I cut him off and his brows furrowed in confusion. “I do not want a word of this
