Chapter 384:
Taking Xylon’s hand, she walked off.
I thought of going after them but was too weak to. Too heartbroken. What exactly did I do to deserve this?

My forehead crinkled in a fusion of disbelief and irritation as I read through the letter. It was the second one I’d read concerning this very matter, and the shock that filled me could not be compared to anything.
I dropped the letter when I finished and looked up at Kael to see he was just as disturbed as I was.
“This real? There was really a fight between them?” I asked.
“A very serious one. One of the guards ended up dead p>
Since the late King’s death, there had been arguments among a few of the Alphas that we didn’t know about. The news was just reaching me now that I’d become King.
Apparently, they had been disagreeing over certain things, and last night, two Alphas—one from the lower ranks and one from the higher ranks—got into a messy fight. One of their guards ended up dead.
It wasn’t new for Alphas to disagree, but to get into an actual fight that drew the attention of everyone, with someone ending up dead—it had gotten really serious.
The second letter I’d just finished reading was from another Alpha from the low ranks, complaining about the fight and how wrong the high-ranking Alpha was. I didn’t like how this was looking. Something needed to be done.
“Send a message out to all of them,” I told Kael. “I want a meeting held this evening p>
While I waited for the meeting and handled other things, Lyric returned from her movie with Maddy. Her eyes were sore, like she’d been crying, making me wonder how tragic the movie was.
But then she opened up to me, and I knew it had nothing to do with the movie. I was in disbelief when she told me about the kids having issues with her of late. She talked about them being pissed and accusing her of ruining our outing the previous night. I thought Lyric and the kids were always going to be good. What changed?

She started crying so hard as she narrated everything to me. It drove me insane to know Marta had obviously poisoned their minds. I was on the verge of sending for her but was held back by Lyric, who wouldn’t let me. So I consoled her instead, promising to speak to the kids later.
The Alphas arrived promptly for the meeting. I made sure everyone was seated in the hall before I made my entrance.
I’d never felt more animosity between the Alphas than the one I felt as I made my way to my seat. Most of them were glaring at each other like they wanted nothing more than to claw at each other’s throats. And the worst part? It was between the higher and lower Alphas.
It was the first time there would be this sort of issue between the two ranks. I took my seat, thanked them for coming, and proceeded to call out the two Alphas involved in the fight.
