The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: A COVER UP

Xaden rushed out of the dungeons amid the chaos as the bells rang.

Erik went up to him.

"What’s going on?" He caught Xaden before he went past him and held him back.

"Alexander is dead." Xaden said.

Erik blinked. "What?"

"All the guards that were stationed there are gone too." Xaden said. "They are all dead. Someone killed them."

"What were you doing there in the first place?" Erik asked. "How did you know?"

"Aurora said that she had something that Alexander would tell me, so I just had to go see, and we found out he was dead." Xaden expressed.

"Who could have done this?" Erik asked. "Gone past and killed all the guards without anyone knowing what was happening?"

"Beats me." Xaden said, and he turned to go.

"Wait." Erik stopped him. "Xaden, if someone killed Alexander, then that probably means Alexander wasn’t the one who sent the assassin first. We might still have them here in our midst."

And it is Xaden. Erik could be right.

"Lock down the castle. No one goes in or out until we discover who did this," Xaden said determinedly, and he strolled off.

Loren, who had still been in his quarters examining the body of the desert assassin, looked closely.

The door opened, and Elena came in. "You sent for me?"

"Yes, yes, I did." Loren said as he offered her a seat.

"It seems that we might have made a mistake." He said.

She raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

He indicated for her to come closer to the woman’s body, and then he used some of his tiny equipment to pick out something.

He showed it to her. "I found this inside her body."

Elena leaned down to see it. "It’s just climate."

"Yes, but that’s what I thought until I did this, " he said. Then he dropped it into boiling water, and it dissolved and changed the color of the water.

He picked it back up and then placed it on a small plate.

"Now take a closer look." He advised.

She bent down to examine it. "That’s Syuni."

He took off his glasses and looked at her.

"What’s Syuni doing in there?" She asked him.

"It must have been used to hide the Syuni. The Climan is very good at camouflaging other potent factors. I mean, it’s with the late King William that the Climan was used to alter the presence of poison. We all thought he had died a peaceful death until in-depth and it had been discovered." Loren said.

"And now, in this case, it’s been used to hide the presence of something," Elena said.

"Exactly." He pointed out.

"But it’s Climan. It does its job well. It’s almost impossible to find it, and after even finding it, it takes a day or two to disappear and reveal what it’s been hiding."

"So what you’re telling me is that Alexander, who was arrested, might not even be the one who sent the assassin," Elena said.

"I doubt Alexander would leave Climan to hide his tracks and completely forget his payment. If he did it we wouldn’t have believed it was him in the first place." He told her.

"So the assassin is still walking around freely?" Elena said, coming to the horrific conclusions.

"Yes. And we have no idea who it might be." He expressed.

"Something has happened." Elena said. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
