news. The weight of the revelation lingered heavily in the air.

“Accept my condolences,” he offered, his words carrying a note of surprise that resonated through the phone.
“This is just really shocking,” Ethan admitted with a heavy sigh, the unexpected news settling into the fabric of his thoughts.
As the exchange continued, a somber atmosphere enveloped the conversation until, eventually, the man at the other end

sharply, standing up.

accusation, the weight of the revelation echoing through the room. Bella, blindsided by the abrupt disclosure, could only manage

observing her reaction with a discerning gaze, studying the intricate play of emotions on her face.
“You heard me,” he repeated.

“Ethan, what’s that supposed to mean?” she asked her face contorted in panic and alarm..

“Where is this even coming from?!” Bella’s voice echoed through the room, a crescendo of frustration. Ethan, faced with the
storm of emotions, watched her closely.
“I am your wife, your mate,” she asserted defensively.
“Some sick, almost senile old woman mistook me to be someone I wasn’t. I corrected the impression she had, and that was all,”
Bella declared, nearly yelling at this point.
“Suddenly she’s dead, and you believe I’ve got something to do with it?!” Bella’s voice, now tinged with disbelief, hung in the
charged air. “Really, Ethan?” she challenged, her vocal tone cracking with a raw vulnerability when met with his silent stare.
“That’s hurtful.” She said almost breaking into a sob. She watched his face. contort with complex emotions.

Ethan felt a wave of suspicion, his thoughts swirling not just around her, but around the intricacies of everything.
“You won’t talk?” he questioned with rigid resolve.
Bella looked up meeting his determination in surprise, he really didn’t believe her.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She pleaded her eyes glittery with unshed tears.

“Fine, I’ll find out myself,” he declared, turning to leave.
“Ethan, Ethan!” she shrieked, the urgency in her voice cutting through the air like a plea. “We need to talk, let’s talk!” she yelled,
desperation lacing her words.
Yet, he ignored her, striding purposefully outside into the rain, he made his way to where his car was parked, leaving her
standing in the doorway.
Bella stood watching his car drive away slowly becoming drenched in the unrelenting rain, her silhouette was blurred through the
car’s rearview mirror as Ethan drove away. He couldn’t shake the image of her standing there dejectedly.
Compelled by an unsettling need for answers, Ethan retrieved his phone, Dialing a familiar number, he issued a directive with a
steely resolve, “I want you to trail Bella, find out who she meets, who she talks to, what she does.”
As the call ended, Ethan couldn’t dismiss the nagging thought: it couldn’t it all be a coincidence, could it?
Seeing his car Drive out of sight Bella panicked. Ethan was made up, she rushed back into the house, grabbing her phone she
made an urgent call.
“Naomi was quite ill; she was to retire completely as a pack elder. She was quite old, you know,” the man explained to Ethan.
Driven by the need for answers about Naomi’s death and whether she held any knowledge about his wife, Ethan arranged a
meeting and had gone to pay a visit.
The air hummed with questions as he met with a relative, a man who introduced himself as Naomi’s nephew.

Was there anything suspicious about her death?” Ethan asked, the words leaving his l*ps in felt surreal, he was questioning the
circumstances surrounding Naomi’s sudden passing, but thinking of what happened to Chris, he pressed on.
The other man appeared taken aback by the probing question. He had previously mentioned that she died in her sleep, but it
seemed Ethan was probing for specific details that eluded the initial explanation.
