A deathly silence filled the hall.
Broken walls...
Blood scattered across the floor...
Corpses lying everywhere...
The entire house looked no less than a battlefield.
Ayaan, his father, Kavya, Viyan, and everyone else stood in the same place.
Almost every truth had now been revealed...
But one secret still remained hidden in the darkness.
And that secret was—
The truth behind Alpha King's death.
Meanwhile...
Inside the room, Alina was still trembling.
Her mother remained unconscious.
The sight of the mutilated werewolf corpse lying near the doorway had drained all color from her face.
Just then...
The door slowly opened.
And someone stepped inside—
Jin.
In his hand was a long, gleaming silver sword.
He walked straight toward Alina and held the sword out to her.
Jin: "Take this sword, child."
Alina stared at him in confusion.
Alina: "What are you saying?"
"What am I supposed to do with a sword?"
"I don't understand any of this."
Jin took a deep breath.
There was a strange uneasiness in his eyes.
Jin: "Now you're the only one who can stop all of this."
Alina was left speechless.
Jin slowly sat down in front of her.
Then he began telling her everything.
About Vikrant...
Alpha King...
The ancient treaty...
The battle between Arnav and Alpha King...
Black King...
And the truth about Viyan...
Everything.
Alina listened without blinking.
Every new revelation felt like another shockwave crashing into her.
After a while...
She slowly asked—
Alina: "If Arnav didn't kill Alpha King..."
"Then who did?"
Jin looked at her.
But for the first time...
Even he had no answer.
Back in the hall...
Everyone's eyes were once again fixed on Kavya.
Ayaan's voice broke the silence.
Ayaan: "Mom..."
"Now that everything else has come out..."
"Please tell us this as well..."
"Who killed Alpha King?"
The moment the question was asked...
Every gaze locked onto Kavya.
And then—
The fingers of Black King's lifeless body twitched slightly.
His heart slowly began beating again.
His breathing returned.
But...
No one noticed.
Tears filled Kavya's eyes.
In a trembling voice, she spoke.
Kavya: "The time has finally come..."
"To reveal the biggest secret of my life."
"Yes..."
"I know who that shadow was."
Everyone in the hall froze.
Suddenly...
Viyan burst into laughter.
Viyan: "Hahaha..."
"So you're finally going to tell the truth, Mom?"
"Think carefully..."
"After this, your precious family may begin to hate you."
Ayaan: "No, Mom."
"That will never happen."
"We'll always love you."
"Just tell us the truth."
Kavya closed her eyes.
As though she was finally letting go of a burden she had carried for decades.
Then she slowly spoke.
Kavya: "During that bloody battle..."
"I wasn't the only one secretly watching everything."
"There was someone else there too."
The entire hall became alert.
Kavya: "Viyan..."
"Viyan was there as well."
Silence swallowed the hall.
Ayaan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Meanwhile...
Black King slowly began regaining consciousness.
Kavya: "After Arnav spared Alpha King and left..."
"Viyan stepped forward."
"He picked up a silver sword..."
"And drove it straight through Alpha King's heart."
Ayaan: "What...?!"
Kavya: "Yes..."
"It wasn't anyone else..."
"Viyan was the one who killed Alpha King."
It felt as though time itself had stopped.
Every eye turned toward Viyan.
Ayaan: "But why?!"
"He was your father!"
Viyan remained silent.
But Kavya continued.
Kavya: "His heart had been filled with hatred since childhood."
"He believed Vikrant had abandoned both of us."
"He believed his father was responsible for every pain he had ever suffered."
"And consumed by that hatred..."
"He killed his own father."
Kavya broke down in tears.
Then...
Viyan's laughter echoed through the hall.
Viyan: "Hahaha..."
"Mom..."
"You're still so innocent."
He slowly looked around at everyone.
His crimson eyes glowed ominously.
Viyan: "I didn't just hate Vikrant."
"I hated all of you."
"The entire vampire and werewolf society."
His voice became colder.
More dangerous.
Viyan: "That's why I saved Black King."
"I filled his heart with hatred for Arnav and all of you."
"I told him that your family had murdered his father together."
Tears streamed down Black King's face.
His entire life had been built upon a lie.
Viyan: "My plan was very simple."
"The werewolves would come and kill all of you..."
"You would kill them..."
"And whoever survived..."
"I would finish them with my own hands."
A crazed smile spread across his face.
Viyan: "And now..."
"The time has come."
Slowly...
He raised his sword.
Its blade pointed directly at Ayaan's neck.
Kavya screamed: "NO, VIYAN!!"
Ayaan was still tied up.
There was nothing he could do.
The sword sliced through the air toward his throat.
One strike...
And everything would be over.
But then—
"TAAANNNGGG!!!"
A deafening metallic clash exploded through the hall.
Viyan's sword stopped in midair.
Someone had caught it.
Everyone turned toward the source.
And in the very next moment—
A voice echoed throughout the hall.
A voice that left everyone stunned.
For the first time...
The smile disappeared from Viyan's face.
Because the voice said—
"I'm still alive."
What do you think will happen next?
And who stopped the Viyaan's sword
