Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 192

He released my arm but remained close, ready to restrain me again if necessary. “We’ve already searched the villa thoroughly,” he explained. “There were no surveillance cameras in the dungeon where Matriarch Stone and Ms. Frost met.”

My heart sank at his words. Of course there wouldn’t be cameras–Matriarch Evelyn valued privacy above all else.

“The footage from outside only shows Matriarch Evelyn directing her guards to bring Ms. Frost into the dungeon,” the enforcer continued. “After that, we have no visual record of what transpired between them.”

Chief Garrison nodded in agreement. “Without witnesses or evidence linking Ms. Frost directly to Matriarch Stone’s death, we can’t file formal charges at this time.”

“In just moments, I watched her eyes close,” I said, my voice breaking artfully. “I was so panicked, I could only shout desperately, call for the guards… But… It was too late, I still couldn’t save Grandmother…”

My tears soaked through Ethan’s hospital gown as I trembled against him. The fabric still smelled of the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den, reminding me that he’d been recovering from his own injuries when this new tragedy struck.

Slowly, hesitantly, his hand came up to pat my back. The gesture was mechanical, lacking the warmth he usually showed me, but it was enough.

“It has nothing to do with you,” he assured me softly, though I could hear the doubt lingering in his voice.

I pressed closer, hiding my face against his chest to conceal my expression. Beneath my outward display of distress, triumph bloomed like a dark flower.
