Fear shot through Alpha Tristan at the question, and without turning around, he replied, "I have no idea."
Alpha Denzel could smell the lies in the air. "I can force the truth out of you, you know?" Threat laced his voice as he instructed his beta, "Alessia, tell Burke to prepare the torture room."
Alpha Tristan found himself courting death. Turning around, he spoke politely, "You don't have to. Ashley attacked Charlotte recently and even stabbed me. She revealed that your father was still alive but not in good health."
Valerie jumped to her feet. "Dad is alive?" She was about to get close to Tristan when Alpha Denzel pulled her back.
"That makes sense." He was glad that Valerie had hope in seeing her father, but it was also clear why his men could not locate any corpse. Can't find the dead among the living.
"Why did you lie earlier?" His expression turned cold once more. Alpha Tristan stammered a little.
