After I Torched Alive, My Alpha Went crazy novel Chapter 208

"This press conference is unlike anything we've ever seen, and I won't stand for it. If you keep blaming each other, if lies keep spreading, know this—I will punish you in ways that will be remembered forever.

"Don't test me, or you'll see a power even the strongest fear." His commanding tone silenced the whispers instantly, leaving everyone shaken under his fierce gaze.

Finally, one person gathered the courage to face King Alpha. A thin journalist, sweat dripping from his forehead, stepped forward, volunteering himself to respond.

‘Your Majesty,' he stammered, his voice cracking, ‘we… We were ordered to do this. It was Lady Estelle. She planned everything.'

The hall filled with murmurs. My heart raced as I stood to the side, gripping my hands tightly. Estelle? How far would she go?

Estelle? How far would she go? I couldn't believe it, not after everything. King Alpha and Luna had given her so much—starting from her privileged upbringing, with every advantage, to the opportunity to be selected for this top position.

They had trusted her, believed in her potential, even supported her when no one else would. And this is how she repaid them? Betrayal.

It was worse than I ever imagined. How could she throw all that away for a moment of personal gain? Tina growled.

King Alpha's fury deepened, disbelief visible on his face. "Estelle?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "Why?"

Another journalist, braver than the first, spoke up. "She wanted to play the victim, Your Majesty. She planned for us to get caught so she could come here, feign pity, and earn your favor.

She instructed us to claim that Miss Grace"—his gaze briefly landed on me—"was behind it all." The weight of his words sent shockwaves through me. My knees felt weak, but I forced myself to stand tall.

King Alpha's voice erupted once more. "Guards! Seize these liars and prepare them for execution!" "No," a calm, steady voice interrupted.

Queen Luna entered the hall, her presence commanding. She walked to King Alpha's side, gently placing a hand on his arm.

"Alpha, don't let your anger cloud your judgment," she said softly. "We need answers, not blood."

King Alpha hesitated, his shoulders tense, but he stepped back, allowing her to take control.

Queen Luna turned to the journalists, her gaze sharp and probing. "If Estelle ordered you to do this, why aren't you following her instructions now?"

The brave journalist's voice came out. "Because she lied to us," he admitted. "She accused others of corruption, but it was her scheme all along.

"These documents"—he held out a trembling stack of papers—"expose all her schemes."

Queen Luna took the papers and handed them to King Alpha. His expression darkened as he scanned the pages, his entire body trembling with restrained rage.
