The Dark Side Of Fate

A little drilling ~Liam~ We followed Justin as he guided us to the visitor’s room where the Gamma and Delta were waiting.

Walking beside Josephine, I found comfort in her proximity, realising that being apart from her was becoming increasingly difficult.

As we entered the room, the Gamma and Delta were seated on the couch, and we each saluted them in turn.

They reciprocated the gesture by standing up and saluting back.

Justin then asked us to take our seats so he could proceed with his inquiries.

“I want to extend my apologies for any inconvenience our presence may have caused all of you,” Justin began.

“This arrangement is only temporary.

Our grandparents reside here, and their safety has become a top priority after the incident.

The council and the royal family are also concerned about the recent crime, accident, and fire that occurred in our grandparent’s home.

I assure you that we are not here to take over your roles or positions.” Upon hearing Justin’s words, Gamma Lebedev leaned forward with a smile on his face, seemingly reassured by the Alpha’s explanation.

“Not at all, Alpha.

We fully comprehend the gravity of the situation.

In all honesty, we initially assumed you had come to investigate Beta Mike’s crimes, especially considering that the crowned Prince, Beta Liam Volkov, had a close relationship with his daughter.

It seemed natural for the Prince to pull strings to ensure his girlfriend’s safety, so we understood the circumstances,” Gamma Lebedev replied.

I couldn’t let this misconception persist any longer, as it could jeopardise what I had with Josephine.

I had to make things clear.

“Allow me to correct you, Gamma.

Sophia Maguire and I are friends, but we have no romantic involvement whatsoever.

I just wanted to clarify that,” I asserted, noticing the surprise on their faces.

It seemed they had genuinely believed that Sophia and I were together.

I couldn’t let that misunderstanding continue to impact Josephine and me.

“Understood.

We respect the Head Alpha’s authority, and unless he explicitly seeks our assistance, we cannot interfere with his ongoing investigations.

Our hands are tied in this regard, which is why we haven’t dispatched anyone to the former Alpha’s or Beta’s houses.

It falls outside our assigned duties,” Justin explained with a sigh.

“However, since you raised the topic, would you mind sharing your perspective on what you think happened?” Justin inquired, turning his attention to the Gamma, who nodded in response.

“Well, we aren’t entirely sure.

On the day of the murder, Alpha Thompson gathered all of us and led us to the docks.

He had received an anonymous tip suggesting illegal activities taking place there that night.

Alpha Thompson was so suspicious that he withheld the tip’s details and our mission, as he believed one of us might be involved.

I think he was right, and the culprit turned out to be Mike.

Given the presence of the Royal heirs at the graduation event, we had to heighten the security of the area where the venue was situated.

So, Delta Miguel and I left to handle the security for the event while Alpha Thompson and Mike stayed at the docks to conduct the investigation,” the Gamma recounted with a sigh.

“According to sources, Beta Mike and Alpha Thompson were arguing, and Alpha was walking briskly, asking Mike to leave him alone.

Mike appeared angry and anxious, continuing to follow him.

As they had driven there together in Mike’s car, he offered to drop Alpha at his house, and Alpha accepted the offer.

It seems that the murder took place after that ride because it aligns with the timing.
