Chapter 19: Getting Away With Murder

News traveled quickly about the sudden death of Earl James, found dead in his bedroom. It became the hottest gossip in town, discussed on every corner and every alleyway.

The murderer was still on the loose, leaving the Public Security Department's officers, the alphas, scrambling. Even the rarely seen queen took interest in the case, assigning Luther, a top officer from the Royal Guard, to personally supervise the investigation.

But no matter who they were, no matter how important they were in life, once they died, people would only remember them for a short while. Time, the best healer and the biggest thief, would soon make everyone forget them.

As the party night faded away, a new day began. Far from human homes, plants were growing, making the area a bright green.
