MasukChapter 101 – The Hunt BeginsTristan's POVThe moment the captain left our chambers, I did not waste another second.I fastened my cloak around my shoulders before walking quickly into the corridor, where warriors were already gathering after hearing the alarm spread through the palace. The peaceful atmosphere that had filled the halls only moments earlier had completely disappeared. Servants hurried from one side of the palace to the other, guards tightened their grips around their weapons, and every face carried the same expression of concern.No one needed to ask what had happened.The news was already spreading.Nikolai had disappeared.I reached the top of the grand staircase where dozens of guards had assembled beneath the direction of the captain.The moment they saw me, they immediately straightened."My Alpha."I looked across the room before speaking. "Seal every gate leading in and out of the palace."The captain nodded without hesitation. "It has already been done.""No o
Chapter 100 – Before the VerdictNina's POVBy the time Tristan and I returned to our chambers, the palace had fallen into an uneasy silence that felt far heavier than the noise that had filled the council chamber only a short while earlier. The corridors we walked through were lined with guards whose expressions remained serious, and every servant we passed lowered their heads respectfully before quickly stepping aside. No one attempted to speak to us because everyone understood that the council meeting had not merely been another gathering of elders. It had been the beginning of something that would change the future of the entire pack.The large wooden doors closed quietly behind us, shutting the rest of the palace outside.For the first time since the meeting had begun, we were alone.Neither of us spoke.The silence between us did not feel uncomfortable because there were simply too many thoughts filling our minds, and neither of us knew where to begin.I slowly crossed the room
Chapter Ninety Nine – The Truth Begins to SpeakThe Doctor's POVThe council chamber had witnessed declarations of war, peace treaties, Alpha successions, and judgments that shaped the history of the pack for generations, yet as I stood outside those enormous wooden doors with my hands clasped tightly before me, I had never felt the weight of my own footsteps as heavily as I did that morning.Every breath reminded me that once those doors opened, there would be no turning back.For weeks I had lived between fear and guilt, knowing that one wrong decision could destroy innocent lives while one moment of courage might finally expose the darkness that had been growing inside the palace.Today I had chosen courage.The young guard standing beside the entrance looked toward me before speaking respectfully."The council is ready for you, Doctor."I nodded slowly, although my throat had become so dry that answering him felt impossible.He pushed the heavy doors open.The sound echoed through
Chapter Ninety Six – The Truth Between BrothersTristan's POVThe room fell into a silence so deep that I could hear the crackling of the fire burning inside the small stone fireplace.Every pair of eyes remained fixed upon Nikolai as he stood in the middle of the doctor's home with the dagger still clutched tightly in his hand.Only moments earlier, he had believed he was walking into the home of a frightened old man who could easily be silenced before sunrise.Instead, he had found himself standing before the very people he had spent months deceiving.The doctor remained where he was, his breathing uneven but his expression calm.The captain of the palace guards stood beside me with one hand resting upon the hilt of his sword, while six trusted warriors had already spread quietly throughout the room, leaving Nikolai with no path to escape.Behind them stood the Head Elder and two members of the council, their faces filled with disappointment rather than anger.I looked at my brother
Chapter Ninety Seven– No More LiesThe Doctor's POVThe village had become completely silent by the time I returned home.The celebration at the palace had continued long after sunset, yet I had left before it ended because my heart no longer belonged among music and laughter. There was only one thing occupying my thoughts, and it was the promise I had made to Alpha Tristan only a few hours earlier.Tomorrow morning, I would stand before the Council of Elders.Tomorrow morning, the truth would finally be spoken.For days, I had carried a burden that had stolen my sleep and weighed upon my conscience, and although fear still lingered inside my heart, it no longer held the power to control me.The lies had lasted long enough.My wife was already asleep when I entered our small home. I quietly removed my cloak before placing it over the back of a chair, making every effort not to wake her because she had worried enough over me during the past several weeks.She deserved one peaceful nigh
Chapter Ninety Six – The Trap ClosesTristan's POVThe celebration continued long after the final judgment had been announced, yet I found no joy in the music drifting across the palace courtyard because my thoughts remained fixed upon something far more important than victory.The warriors were laughing together.The elders were speaking with the neighboring Alphas.The servants hurried from one table to another, carrying food and wine while everyone celebrated the beginning of a new chapter for our pack.Nina remained beside me throughout it all, and every now and then our eyes met, allowing us to share quiet smiles that needed no words.Even so, I could not silence the feeling that the trial had not truly ended.A battle had been won.Justice had not yet been served.The healer quietly approached me while everyone remained occupied with the celebration, and the seriousness upon his face immediately told me that this was not an ordinary conversation."My Alpha," he said respectfully
