| toyed with the locket in my hand, trying to understand what the logo meant and if it belonged to any group.

If it did, | would want to know which? That guy Erika had encountered and had a fight with was a paid killer, that

was for certain.

That guy had been paid to cfind Erika and end her. | had picked this black locket from his pocket. Until |

understood the kind of danger she was in, | would not let her know anything.

She was not aware of this locket. | observed the wolf's head in a triangle logo. The locket was black and made

with wood. The black looked polished.

| just needed to know who had sent this guy. | observed the locket in my hand again, | was yet to open it. | was

hesitant to do so. Maybe | was not ready to know what | would find or maybe | wanted to be sure what that logo

represented before delving into what was in it.

A knock sounded on my door and | quickly stuffed it into my drawer and locked it, putting the key in my pocket.

"Cin."

It was Fagel.

| had called him to cbecause | wanted to ask him a question.

He was father's personal guard and driver but on the day dad had gone out, Fagel had told Erika to my hearing

that he had wanted to drive dad but he had ordered Fagel not to.

Father had gone out on his own that particular day but | had later instructed Fagel to go trail dad from a distance

- he had not revealed this to Erika per my instruction.

But he said he had suddenly lost him on the highway during a little traffic. And not wanting to risk being seen, he

had turned back and returned home.

"On the day I'd instructed you to follow my father, did you see anyone following him?" | asked him, after offering

him a seat.

"No, Your Highness."

"Are you sure? Were your eyes observant?"

"Yes, | was taking note of every car following him."

| had not asked him these questions that day he'd returned because | never thought it would result to this.

I had only asked if he was fine and | had left it at that, but it was important now. Quite important.

My father's life and sister's position were hanging in the balance of finding the truth. The family legacy was at

stake, | could not even concentrate on my company.

Even Kat's life had been put at risk and now she was on a wheelchair. She had barely talked toever since,

and it was affecting me.

The mate bond was stronger than | thought. It was better when we were still on talking terms, when we were still

cool with each other. Though I had not accepted the mate bond, | had wanted her around and it madehappy

to see her.

But | never showed it nor let her know because | was not ready. | was still wary about getting entangled with any

woman.

Moreover, | had dad to to take care of and also investigate who had done that to him and how it connected to

the other events that happened to Kat, Erika and Paula.

"Someone must have been following him, what do you think?" | stared at him keenly, observing his reaction.

Everyone was a suspect and should be treated as such. Just as Erika had Tasyra dragged from her home, nothing

should be put past anyone this period.

"I think so too, Your Highness. And I'm beginning to regret turning back but then the Alpha was looking at the

side mirror frequently, | did not want him to seeknowing how smart he was." T

he brown haired lean yet fit guard said, | could detect a hint of regret in his voice but that was not to fool me,

anyone could pretend in different ways, seven better than others.

But at this point, | felt like he was the only person who could do what | wanted him to do forwhile | tried to

focus on other significant areas.

To find the truth other ways. Dad used to say; sometimes solution does not cfrom one source.

"The other times you've been driving him, have you ever encountered any trouble that looks strange to you? Or

any event that has had to make you step in to save him?"

Dad would never tell us if he had ever gone through problems and would certainly had instructed Faget not to

say a word but now, it was important. We needed to find the enemies coming after this throne and our legacy.

"Not really." He replied.

"Not really? Is that a yes or no, Fagel? Speak now, this is damn important." | morphed my tone so it was stern.

"I'm sorry Your Highness. There was

this vehicle that once tried to get on our lane, it was absurd because the road was clear and would comfortably

accommodate two cars. But the Alpha did not think much of it and askedto let them pass." He revealed.

"Did you see than again? And what's the gender of this person?"

"There were two guys and | saw someone at the back but the glass was tinted and raised, | could not see them. |

could only make out a figure."

"If you see these two men, will you remember them?" We were going somewhere, maybe. Or it could be a dead

end, there was no harm trying.

"I can not tell you that | remember them, Your Highness."

"So when you see any of them, you won't be able to remember any of them?"

He seemed to ruminate for few seconds. "No, | can not confidently say yes."

| sighed. "Alright. | have an assignment for you."

"Alright, Your Highness." He looked atexpectantly, waiting to know what | wanted to say.

"I believe you have heard of what has been happening in the pack for days now." "Yes Your Highness, I'm fully

aware." He nodded.

"I need you to helpfind the origin of this." | opened my drawer and brought out the black wooden locket.

He studied It as | held it for him to see. "Can | hold it, Your Highness?"

| gave it to him and watched him as he turned the locket around in his palm. "I

think | have seen this logo somewhere before. A wolf's head in a triangle." Curiosity piqued. "Where?"

He looked at me. "I can not remember where.... It's..." Then his eyes shone with remembrance. "That car."

"What car?"

"It was dangling at the front of car's interior. Close to the rear mirror."
