CARLYLE'S POV

“How did this happen?” | asked upon getting to the Sertid Fur pack, one of the popular and most important packs

that contributed to the training and empowerment of the army-in-training. Earlier that day, | had received a

news that the Alpha of the pack was found dead in his room.

Ferdek, the Alpha’s Beta, took a deep breath before responding. “It seems to be a case of poisoning, Alpha

Carlyle. We are investigating, but tensions are rising among the pack members.”

The elders of the Sertid Fur Pack gathered around me, their expressions a mix of concern and uncertainty. One of

the elders, a seasoned wolf with a gray muzzle, spoke up.

“We heard a scream from one of the Alpha’s attendants in the early morning. Rushing to his room, we found him

lying lifeless on his bed. It appeared as though he had struggled before succumbing to the poison. The room was

in disarray, suggesting a possible struggle or attempt to escape.”

Another elder, a wise-looking she-wolf, added, “We suspect foul play, Alpha Carlyle. The nature of the poison

indicates a deliberate act, and tensions among the pack members are escalating. Sare pointing fingers, and

we fear it could lead to internal conflicts.”

“What do you suggest we do, Alpha? Ferdek, the Beta, asked, seeking guidance.

| took a moment to consider the situation. “First, maintain order within the pack. Avoid unnecessary

confrontations and keep a close eye on any potential instigators. Secondly, intensify. the investigation. Identify

any enemies or internal disputes that might have led to this. We need to act swiftly and decisively to prevent

further unrest.”

The elders nodded, acknowledging the severity of the situation. It was clear that the stability of the Sertid Fur

Pack hung in the balance but | was ready to give it what it takes.

“Can | see the body?” | requested to see the corpse, and the elders reluctantly ledto the Alpha’s quarters.

The room bore the traces of a struggle, as the elder had mentioned. The bed wast disheveled, and there were

signs of a scuffle near the door. It was evident that the Alpha had fought for his life.

Kneeling beside the lifeless body, I carefully observed the signs. The coloration of the skin. indicated a rapid

onset of the poison, likely acting within a short timeframe. The facial expression suggested a moment of agony

and surprise. | inspected the claws and fur for any signs of defensive wounds, trying to understand how the

struggle unfolded.

As | examined the corpse, Donald stood by, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“This looks like a targeted attack, Alpha. The nature of the struggle and the swift effect of the poison suggest a

well-planned act. We need to consider potential motives and enemies within the pack.”

| nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, Donald. We should investigate recent disputes, rivalries, or any signs of discontent within the Sertid Fur

Pack. If this was an inside job, the motive might be rooted in pack dynamics or

We discussed the possibility of gathering witnesses, conducting interviews, and employing magical or

supernatural means to uncover hidden truths..

As we prepared to leave the Alpha’s quarters, my eyes caught a subtle detail on the arm of the deceased Alpha-

a small but distinctive logo inscribed on his skin. The symbol seemed unfamiliar, promptingto check it more

closely.

“Donald, take a look at this,” I called out, pointing to the logo. “This isn’t a random mark. It appears. intentional,

like a brand or a symbol with significance.”

Donald leaned in, studying the logo..

“You're right, Alpha. This isn’t a common marking. It could be a clue, a connection to a group or an organization.”

| made a mental note to inquire among the Sertid Fur Pack members about any affiliations the Alpha might have

had. The logo hinted at a broader context, and understanding its meaning could unravel hidden layers of the

mysterious circumstances surrounding the Alpha’s demise.

“Let's not overlook this detail, Donald. It might be the key to understanding the motive behind the poisoning. |

stated, determined to piece together the puzzle that lay before us.

Ferdek returned from where he headed, to complete surgent tasks and | called his notice to the symbol.

“By chance, do you recognize it?”

“Not really. | have...” He suddenly trailed off which promptedto take a look at his face. | didn’t miss the

suspicious expression which | saw on his face.

“Do you remember something?”

“No, no, | don’t. Something else cto mind but it isn’t related to the case at hand.” Ferdek managed to say

but | doubted his claims. | told him to watch out for any other related things and informas soon as he gets

insight into what might have possibly happened.

As we left, Donald seemedost in thought and | asked if he had anything to say or something he noticed which |

didn’t.

“Not really. | have...” He suddenly trailed off, his expression shifting to one of suspicion. It didn't escape my

notice as | turned to look at him, sensing that there was more to his hesitation.

“You have what, Donald?” | prompted, my tone serious. The investigation had taken a turn, and Donald's

reaction hinted at a piece of information he was hesitant to share.

He took a deep breath before speaking, “I have a feeling that Ferdek might know more about this. His hesitation,

the sudden rise in tension among the pack members - it all seems too coincidental.”

I nodded, acknowledging his insight. Ferdek, as the Beta, would likely have been close to the Alpha and privy to

certain details. If there was any internal strife or external influence, he might indeed hold valuable information.

“Let's approach this cautiously. We need to gather more evidence before drawing conclusions, but keep a

watchful eye on Ferdek. We can’t afford to overlook any potential leads,” | remarked, emphasizing the need for a

thorough and discreet investigation. The mystery surrounding the Alpha’s death was deepening, and Ferdek had

just beca person of interest.
