Chapter 27 : Exonerated and Honored

I stared at him, almost unable to believe what he was saying. It was such a simple answer, such a simple solution that proved the truth of every story I heard from every angle, and it exonerated him entirely all at once.

His father was already dying.

But I frowned. Something still didn’t make sense.

“So, why not just let him die naturally?” I asked him. “You could have done nothing and you would still get the title of Alpha. Everything would still pass to you. Why did you kill him?”

Varon was silent for a long time, and if he hadn’t offered this story to me, I would never press him for all of this information. But he wanted me to know these things, and I wasn’t going to deny the fact that I really wanted to know too.

“Because he wasn’t dying naturally,” Varon said softly. “He was poisoned. But I would like to tell you the story from the very beginning, though I know that you must have heard it from a few people already. I would still like to be the one to tell you.”
