    Years Ago:


    The guard had fetched ric for the alpha king. ric had been waiting his entire life for the Alpha


    King’s attention. He was just one of the other servants, but it seemed like tonight might be his night.


    “I have been hearing about your hard work and how you—," Alpha King paused to think of a


    compliment because he only knew of him because of Hazel, "How you mop the floors," he finished,


    rolling his eyes at the thought ofplimenting a servant.


    “That is very kind of you to notice your loyal servant.” ric had his hands clutched obediently before


    his body when speaking to Shaun.


    “But that doesn''t matter anymore. I have made a mistake, and now I am wondering how long before I


    get removed from this position."


    Shaun let out a sigh when talking about the possibly worst day of his life.


    ric didn''t know anything, because Hazel never shared the secrets with him. She believed in taking


    her secrets to the grave.


    “You know, my problem is not even myself. I am worried for — your wife," Shaun said, raising his face


    to watch the frown sprees a cover ric''s forehead.


    “Hazel? Did she make a mistake?" ric was quick to question him. When he cheated on his one true


    mate, he actually left behind a lot more than just his mate to be with Hazel.


    "No! Actually, I don''t know. I don’t see her like that," Shaun mumbled under his breath, confusing ric


    even more with his words.


    “You know, like a witch. But I wonder how the next alpha king will see her. I am sure you are aware of


    your wife’s work. She is a witch and has been actively practicing magic. The only reason she is not


    safe and secure is that I have her back. But the day the council removes me from the title, you know


    she will be the first they burn on the stake like old times." Shaun made sure he used all the right kinds


    of scares. ric''s heart instantly started beating at the mention of Hazel practicing forbidden magic.


    "My lord! Please let me know how I can assist you?" ric was quick enough to jump and ask for help.


    “I am sure you brought me here because there is something I can do," ric added when he watched


    Shaun looking at him.


    "There has been a case. Alpha Shepard lost his mate, and now he has gone crazy. He questioned a


    few people after somehow getting the information that I also took that road that night." Shaun


    murmured, fear starting to take over him.


    He then picked up the documents from the side of the table and let the guard in to discuss the serious


    issue with them.


    "My DNA is all over her," he said, pping his forehead, reading the documents that were going to be


    presented in the trial.


    Alpha Shepard had filed aint of foul y. These documents were going to be presented, and if


    that happens, Shaun is gone.


    "Do one thing. Tell them you haven''t don’t checking her body and —burn the morgue down. How can


    they expect to find DNA when there is nobody?” He smiled to himself. "Oh! And make sure you do it in


    a way that it seems like Alpha Shepard did it to save his ass." He ordered none other than Enya’''s


    biological father to do the job. Where Enya''s mother has casted a spell on


    Thiago, her father burned the morgue down.


    "I— umm—,” ric rubbed his palms nervously. That conversation escted from zero to 100 really


    quick.


    “But-- he didn''t do it, right?" ric asked Shaun as he stared at the documents in his hands. It was


    pretty certain to him that


    Shaun was the culprit here.


    "It doesn''t matter. I was not myself that night. I mean, you know I am not a bad person, or else I would


    have burned your wife a long time ago. I am a genuine person, and it was a genuine mistake.” Shaun


    had to roll his eyes secretly at ric for his audacity.


    "Of course, I know you are a good person." ric couldn''t go against him when he kept making threats


    to get Hazel in trouble.


    "Good! Now take these files and burn them inside the morgue. Let everyone inside burn to death to


    make it seem more real,”


    Shaun ordered as he handed the files to ric, who nodded and left the room with the guard beside


    him.


    Soon they were going to spread the news that Alpha Shepard killed his wife with the silver bars and


    then drove the car off the hills to make it seem like an ident.


    ric went home first to inform Hazel of what he was going to do. The guard kept tailing him just to


    make sure he did the job.


    “Hey, where have you been? We were supposed to dine together." Hazel had been waiting for ric for


    the past few hours, and when he didn''t receive her calls, she got anxious.


    “Can you give me a moment, please?" He turned to the guard and asked for some time. Since the


    guards knew Hazel was a trusted person of the alpha king, he nodded and walked out of the house.


    The moment the guard left, ric started wheezing.


    “What is going on? Are you alright?” Hazel got to her feet, rushing over to her husband and rubbing his


    back.


    “No! stay away from me," he let out a cry, pushing her away and stepping near the firece. The night


    was extremely cold, and even though ric had a wolf, he was freezing.


    “What is happening? Why are you acting like that?" sheined, as she felt offended when he


    pushed her back.


    “You tell me, Hazel. What the fuck are we doing?" He yelled, but then bit his tongue to lower his


    volume. He was crying like a child, holding some files near his chest, and looking at Hazel like he had


    never looked at her before.


    She could tell that for the very first time, he was judging her.
