As I slowly got up from the ground, feeling the pain in my neck from Derick's tight grip, I reached for my cell phone, tucked securely in my morgue uniform. My hands trembled as I dialed Blake's number, desperate to alert him about Derick and Sophia's actions. Panting heavily, I struggled to explain the situation to him.
Blake's voice on the other end of the line reassured me to calm down and provide a coherent account of what had just transpired. I relayed the events as best I could, informing him that Derick and Sophia had attacked me and taken Anita's lifeless body with them. Blake's astonishment was evident as he questioned why they would do such a thing.
Feeling a mix of confusion and fear, I admitted that I didn't know their motives. Blake hung up the phone, promising to call me back once he had processed the information. On Blake's end, he sat in his car, contemplating the situation. Pulling out his phone, he dialed the number for the police, his mind racing with thoughts of Derick and Sophia's actions.
Blake's voice was firm as he spoke to the police, relaying the shocking news. He informed them that Derick and Sophia had kidnapped Anita's corpse, effectively implicating themselves in her death. The police officers, equally surprised, questioned why Derick and Sophia would commit such a heinous act.
With a smirk playing across his face, Blake responded, shifting the focus back to the culprits rather than himself. He stated that the question should not be directed at him but at those responsible. Without waiting for a response, he abruptly ended the call, his confidence radiating through the smile that graced his lips.
Driving away from the vicinity, Blake contemplated the situation. The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fall into place, and he relished the thought that Derick and Sophia had unwittingly set themselves up for their own downfall. His instincts told him that this turn of events would lead him closer to victory in this battle.
As Blake left the scene, his mind raced with plans and strategies. It was clear that a confrontation was imminent. The clash between the rival packs would not only determine their fates but also unveil the deep-rooted secrets that had plagued their intertwined lives.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Derick and Sophia returned with Anita's corpse. Unaware of the unfolding events and the implications of their actions, they entered the lab where Professor awaited their arrival. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation and a sense of urgency as they prepared to reveal what they had obtained.
Little did they know that their every move had been observed, and the threads of fate were drawing tighter around them.

As the sound of approaching car engines reached our ears, Derick peered through the window, his gaze falling upon the sight of police vehicles pulling up to the front of our mansion. He quickly alerted Professor and me, his tone laced with concern as he questioned our next course of action.
Professor's disappointment was palpable as he chastised Derick for even entertaining such doubt. Reminding him of his role as the Alpha, Professor urged Derick to display the strength and confidence befitting his position, ensuring that we wouldn't be caught and the police wouldn't suspect a thing. Derick absorbed Professor's words, regaining his composure and stepping into the role he was born to fulfill.
Together, Derick and I made our way to the living room, preparing to face the approaching police officers. The knock on the door reverberated through the mansion, and I swiftly opened it, welcoming the officers with a seemingly genuine smile. Derick, standing beside me, greeted them with a confident air, eager to learn the purpose of their visit.
The lead officer began by stating that they had received information confirming the theft of Anita's corpse from the morgue. Derick and I feigned surprise, unable to fathom who could commit such an act. The officer then revealed that Blake had contacted them, accusing us of stealing the corpse and attempting to conceal the truth.
Derick's voice dripped with disbelief as he vehemently denied the accusation. He questioned why he would engage in such an act, dismissing Blake's claims as mere attempts to evade his own guilt. I stepped forward, adding my voice to Derick's protest, accusing Blake of fabricating the story to divert attention from his own crimes.
The officers attentively listened to our defense, jotting down notes as we spoke. Sensing an opportunity to clarify the situation, Derick explained that we had indeed visited the morgue upon receiving a text message from someone claiming to be Anita's family. Curiosity had driven us to investigate, but upon arrival, we discovered the morgue attendant leaving, claiming he had been fired. To our astonishment, Mia, Blake's malevolent accomplice, was present, adorned in a morgue uniform, wearing a sly smile.
Feeling like pawns in a twisted game, we chose to leave, suspecting that we were being manipulated. Derick produced the text message from his phone, displaying it to the officers, emphasizing our innocence and confusion surrounding the events.
The officers nodded, absorbing our explanation and the evidence presented. Their questioning continued, inquiring why we had not immediately informed them of our visit to the morgue. Derick calmly replied that we had only recently returned and heeding his partner's advice, I had insisted on resting due to feelings of exhaustion. We had planned to visit the police station that evening to provide a formal statement.
The officers appeared satisfied with our response, their suspicion waning. They assured us that they would thoroughly investigate the matter, including the involvement of both Blake and Mia. Thanking us for our cooperation, they concluded their visit, leaving us to contemplate the web of deception that seemed to entangle us all.
As the doors closed behind the departing officers, the weight of the situation settled upon us. It was clear that our enemies were growing bolder, their actions pushing us closer to the edge. But we would win Blake on this race.
