Soren froze.
His body went stiff, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes wide, like he had just seen a ghost. I followed his gaze to the television screen, where the local news blared on about Alpha Ivan's death.
"…sources confirm that Alpha Ivan was found dead in his estate late last night," the newscaster said. "Authorities suspect foul play, and the police are launching an active investigation to identify the culprit. Eyewitness reports claim the attack bore the signature of the infamous Rogue Alpha, a figure long thought to be a myth. Officials are warning all Alphas in the region to remain vigilant."
The words brought me so much satisfaction and I almost wanted to share it but I couldn't.
Soren, meanwhile, hadn't moved a muscle. His face was pale, and his eyes were unfocused. He wasn't reacting well to this.
