CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
Nn’s POV
The sound of shattering ss echoed through the banquet hall. All conversation ended as everyone focused on me and the Alpha King. Because of Jason’s clumsy elbow, my n was ruined.
Marco’s voice flooded my mind through our link. “Alpha, please, just leave it alone. We can try another time.”
There would not be another time. This must happen now. I would drag the truth out into the open one way or another.
I sneered at the Alpha King and said, “You’re growing old and feeble, old wolf.”
Gasps spread through the room. The Alpha King’s eyes widened at my usation. Jason immediately moved away from us.
He gave a nervousugh and said, “I think you had too much to drink, Alpha Nn.”
I ignored him and continued, “Tell me, is it guilt that makes you tremble? Or do you remember the blood you spilled?”
Solon mmed his hand on the table as he stood. He snarled, “Nn! How dare you insult the Alpha King! If you can’t handle your liquor, return to your room but do not cause a scene. It will not be tolerated.”
I didn’t break eye contact with the Alpha King, which only angered Solon more. “There is only one true Alpha King, and my father is already dead.”
Solon snarled, his Alpha aura ring. I finally met his gaze. “Did I say something wrong?”
“You will not spit on this Rite with your conspiracy theories! This is a sacred gathering, not a stage for your tantrums. You dishonor every wolf in this hall with your reckless usations,” Solon berated. “The Elders closed this case long ago. You would dare to call them liars before all of us?”
“Yes, I dare! The Elders closed the case too quickly, and you know it. They buried the truth to protect someone. If the Alpha King is innocent, then let him prove it. Show us all he has nothing to hide,” I argued.
Solon’s fury only intensified as his voice boomed, “You insult not just the Alpha King but the Elders themselves. Their judgment is the backbone of ourw. Do you think your grief gives you the right to overturn everything we stand for?”
My jaw tightened. “Is the Council infallible? Is the Council not above being reviewed? We are all mortal. We make mistakes.”
I could tell the wolves were pondering my words. We had spent too long trusting in a Council that could be swayed by money or favors. Even if the Alpha King didn’t fall for my trap, it would still begin the revolt against him. It was a win-win situation for me.
“If the King is innocent, let him prove it before every Alpha here. Or is your precious order worth more than justice for my father?” I continued.
The Alpha King rose slowly. His Alpha aura red throughout the roll, applying pressure to submit to him. I stood against the pressure and red back at him. I would not submit to a murderer.
“You were only a child when this tragedy struck. I understand your grief and anger as a child. As an adult, this has be ridiculous, Alpha Nn. How can you even believe your own eyes as a child?” he questioned.

I let out a bitterugh. “I was a child, but even then, I knew what I saw. A ck wolf with three white streaks across its head. It had my father’s blood on its teeth. If you were not that wolf, prove it. Why hide behind closed records and silence?”
“Because he doesn’t have to prove himself to an insolent ungrateful wolf like you, Nn,” Solon snapped, cutting back in.
The room buzzed with unease. Wolves shifted in their seats, exchanging wary nces. The challenge I had thrown down was clear. If the Alpha King refused, suspicion would stain him forever.
“Do you think this circus honors your father’s memory? You use without proof, you spheme against the Elders’ judgment, and you drag this entire Assembly into your bitterness. Do you not see how shameful this is?” Solon taunted.
I narrowed my eyes and growled, “Do not speak of my father. Do not lecture me about shame, Solon.”
The Alpha King’s patience snapped. He stepped forward, his power rising like a tidal wave. “You insolent whelp. Youe into my territory, insult me before my people, and use me of blood I did not spill, I should end you here.”
I spread my arms slightly, daring him. “Then do it. Shift. Let them see what you are. If you are innocent, there is nothing to fear.”
The King’s chest rumbled with a growl so deep the floor seemed to vibrate beneath it. He bared his teeth, fury burning in his eyes. “You want punishment, boy? I will give it to you myself.”
And in that moment, as his aura red higher and his muscles tensed to shift, I braced for the reveal.
Atst, he would show himself. Atst, I would know.
