Gideon’s beta entered the room with a serious expression. He bowed his head to me politely before turning to Gideon. “Alpha. I have something to report to you.”

I was tense. My mind told me this is not good news. “Speak now.” Gideon commanded.

Beta held a file, his tone was calm yet on point “We traced the source of the wolfsbane used. A vial was purchased in the Black Market, no more than three days ago. And the buyer is Daphne’s servant.

His words were like a stab of a knife.

I sat there shaking. My eyes darted to Gideon, searching his face. He looked very shocked and a look of disbelief crossed his face for a moment but then his expression changed back to cold one.

“What did you just say?” Gideon’s voice was dangerous and sharp.

Beta lowered his head respectfully. “It’s confirmed, Alpha. The proof is right in the file.” There was that unbearable silence again.

I could see many emotions showing up in his face, his mind was full of storms. There was anger, betrayal and disbelief. He clenched his fists tightly, he was breathing heavily trying to control his wolf.

Daphne.

I almost let out a growl, my wolf was furious and wanted to take control to teach Daphne a lesson but I controlled my wolf knowing this was not the right time.

My stomach twisted.

I had known she resented me. I saw the way she looked at Gideon, the way her expression sours when Leo and I are close to him. But to try to harm a child–his child–was monstrous even beyond what I’d imagined.

Gideon turned away sharply and paced around the room. He didn’t look at me, didn’t look at his beta. He looked at the wall with fury and wanted to punch it.

He took a deep breath and finally spoke, his voice was cold as ice.

“Keep this as a top secret.” He ordered his beta “You will not speak about this outside the room.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“From today onwards, “Gideon spoke with determination “Keep an close eye on Daphne. I want every little information about her. Do you understand?”

Beta nodded and bowed again. “Understood.” “Leave us.”

Beta left and shut the door behind him.

The silence between us was very heavy. I sat on my bed still with my hand caressing Nova’s small back. I was overwhelmed by many emotions.

Gideon finally turned, his eyes landing on me. For a bit, I didn’t see the Alpha but a man filled with fury, betrayal and guilt, he had a thoughtful look on his face.

His voice was softer when he spoke again, though no less dangerous. “If it’s really her..if it’s really Daphne’s doing..” He paused and shook his head, as if he was deeply disappointed in her “She will pay for hurting my child.”

I gulped and looked at the children. “And if someone is supporting her?”

He looked at me with a determined hard gaze “Then I will find out who is behind her as well. Whoever it is. No one dares to hurt my child and walks away after.”

There it was again—that ferocity, that fierce devotion to his son. For a small moment, I felt proud of Gideon. Because I wanted to believe him, to lean into that promise. To trust that he could protect Leo, Nova, and me from the shadows tightening around us.

But I knew I shouldn’t be depending on him. Until the true culprit is not caught, no one is safe.

I nodded calmly as I put back on my mask of being Raven the warrior. Who will protect the children

no matter what.

Not Claire. Not the Mate he has already lost.

Not the shewolf who has kept her powers hidden till the right moment comes to reveal them.
