Marion and Keh stood in the Lycan king’s court, already waiting for them as they arrived. They
bowed in their presence, showing respect.
“You should havee over to the mansion.” Julian said as soon as he stepped into the
court.
“There are many ears I would like to keep out of the truth. The king’s court was created to provide the
utmost privacy to the king and his affairs, and that is what we need.” Marion answered.
Julian nodded, not willing to debate him. There was no time.
Marion’s eyes travelled over to Fiona, and they warmed up. “Luna.” He called, and a smile appeared on
his face.
She nodded in acknowledgement.
“We called for this meeting to discuss the progress of our investigation so far.” Marion said, stepped
over to Julian, and handed him a file.
Marion had returned four days ago to deliver his first findings, which were about the deaths of the
elders of the council of truth. At first, it seemed they had each been killed by someone close to them,
but further investigation showed they were killed by one of their own. Elder Zaki; he too was under the
influence of Doom. His families found him dead in his study with his heart ripped out, and so they
believed someone had broken in and killed him. Marion’s investigation showed he had ripped his own
heart out. After thoroughly examining the robe he had on the day he died, they found the blood of the
seven others on it. He had returned home and killed himself, following the orders he received.
With the case of the elders closed, Marion moved onto the forty-nine and one. Keh aided him in
uncovering this truth.
Julian epted the file and opened it to reveal the names and faces of the people in it. “What is this?”
he asked with a furrowed gaze.
“Those are the details about the ones we have been able to get so far, my king. The ones we’ve
captured are in the dungeon of the council of truth, and they have a giga around their necks to subdue
their abilities. We lost two of them because they attacked, and Keh had no choice but to kill them.”.
He pointed to the file as Julian opened it to nce through. “These are the ten we have gotten so far. A
few of them were second inmand, and others were omegas. Those

ones we had no trouble taming, but-” Marion said this and pressed his lips together to stop himself from
speaking.
In his silence, Julian’s attention moved to him, and a frown appeared on his face. “You are in the
presence of your king; you will say everything you know.””
“We fear there are also a few alphas under the control of the dark masters,” he answered. “And if they
are, the only one with the authority to bring them in is the Lycan king himself.”
“There is no pattern to the way Doom chose these men. If he wanted control, why not influence all their
second inmand and seize power once they are gone?” Fiona asked because she couldn’t wrap
her head around it all.
Julian shut the file in his hand and said, “Doom doesn’t need power; we are a joke to the level of power
he seeks.”
“The king is right,” Marion said. “There isn’t an ulterior motive to his attack from what we have gathered
so far. He used elders, betas, gemmas, alphas, and omegas. I am not one to believe in random
urrences, but I think this is what it is. He needed the numbers, and that was what he got. There is
nothing more or less. As for any other of his ns, we are still yet to find out. The only loophole left is
Beta Lily; we have yet to find her killer, but we will not stop.”
Julian’s eyes travelled to Keh, who stood quietly at the back, before returning to Marion.
“We need to find the rest and break the strong hold Doom has on them before the next full moon.”

“Yes, my king, and we need your help as well as the Luna in bringing these Alphas under subjection
again.”
“Do you have the names of these alphas? Or how are we to find them?” Julian asked.
“All the information we need is in there. From our findings, there are about eleven alphas under the
control of Doom. We have narrowed it down to the ones we believed would have done it through
testimonies, but you have to step in and assert yourself as their Lycan king and true master.”
Julian opened the file once again, and Fiona drew closer to take a look.
These were themunities to the south: Alpha Gerald of Freedom, Alpha Blue of Montana, and
Alpha Vixon of Vanes. These were themunities in the north: Alpha Kox of York, Alpha Nate of
Town, and Alpha Uryi of Pillot. These were themunities in the west: Alpha Halle of Jupita, Alpha
Leon of Birdtown, and Alpha Dane of Grandfield. These were themunities to the east: Alpha Noh

Yao of Wanderfield, and Alpha Cooper of ytown.
“We have to bring them out of the Dark Masters’ stronghold because thest thing we want is to fight
ourselves instead of fighting Doom and his creatures.” Fiona said.
“Are you able to do this?” Julian asked and turned to stare at her.
She opened her mouth to speak, but her words failed her; she didn’t know if she had what it took to
ce anyone under subjection.
“I don’t know.” She replied honestly. The task got moreplicated with each passing day.
“You have to be sure of yourself before we take on anyone. We do not want one alerting the others in
the case where you fail to subject them.”
She understood, and that made her even more unsure. “I can’t do it on my own.” She revealed this,
and she felt ashamed of saying it.
She felt ashamed that she couldn’t be of much help to him, even though that was what he needed now.
He understood and, without hesitation, spoke. “It is fine; you don’t have to do anything you are not
ready to. Okay?”
She nodded, and he leaned in and kissed her lips.
“We will head out tomorrow.” Julian said that and dismissed them.
