After I Torched Alive, My Alpha Went crazy novel Chapter 199

"Honorable Alpha King," I said, my voice steady despite the chaos inside me. "I have no knowledge of these matters. I'm as in the dark as everyone else, but I will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth."

Estelle let out an aggrieved cry from across the room, her voice cracking with emotion. I could see the tears welling up in her eyes, but they didn't move me.

Not when my own heart was heavy with fear, and my body felt as though it was being crushed by the weight of the Alpha King's gaze.

Faye's eyes flicked to Estelle with a sharp, disdainful look, as if to silence her, before turning back to me. Her support was a lifeline, her arm wrapping around me when I felt as if I might collapse under the Alpha King's pressure.

The force of his scrutiny pinned me down, but Faye's presence kept me steady, her strength anchoring me when I felt unsteady on my feet.

Queen Luna gave the Alpha King a look, intense and resolute. In that instant, I suddenly felt like I could breathe smoothly. Tina's screams, shrill and haunting, echoed in the silence.

Just as quickly as the connection had disappeared, it returned. I gasped in relief as I heard her voice in my mind, faint but clear.

"Grace!" Tina cried, her voice filled with panic. "It's like I've just been put in a dark room, and I can't find you!"

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. "I'm here, Tina," I whispered, trying to calm her. "I'm here. I won't leave you."

The relief was overwhelming, but it didn't last long. King Alpha glanced around the room, his eyes scanning every face, before turning on his heel and striding toward the door.

His movements were calm, deliberate, and filled with the quiet strength of a king who had seen it all. Without saying another word, he left, leaving the room in stunned silence.

As soon as the Alpha King left the room, the atmosphere changed completely. The commanding energy he left behind seemed to fade, leaving a strange sense of unease.

The quiet tension turned into soft murmurs, whispers spreading through the room like the start of a storm.

Estelle's heart sank as she saw the Alpha King's figure disappearing through the open door, his presence slipping away too quickly.

Without thinking, her feet moved on their own, taking her forward. "Your Majesty!" Estelle called out, her voice sharp and full of emotion as it cut through the growing noise.

I kept still, unsure if I should even breathe too loudly. But then Queen Luna turned her gaze toward me. My heart raced, though her expression this time was different. Encouraging, even kind.

She did not show any reaction after King Alpha's sudden exit. In fact, she tried to manage the situation on her own after he left.

It was as if her eyes told me, Stand strong. You belong here. It was a fleeting glance, but it left me rooted to the spot, my heart warmed with both relief and confusion.

Her attention shifted to Cyrus, who was now nestled in Carlos's arms. The Queen's face softened as she reached for him. Her movements were gentle yet firm.

"Once," she said, her voice calm yet resonant, "Faye told me that you would fall in love with this little guy after spending a few hours with him. And it's true. I just love this little guy so much."

Carlos handed Cyrus over carefully, bowing his head as he did so. "Thank you, Your Majesty," he said, his voice low and steady.

The Queen held Cyrus for a moment, her fingers brushing over his soft fur. It was such a strange sight—to see someone so powerful handle something so small and delicate.
