"Because that picture is fake. Obviously, I wasn't in the state to click Theo's Lycans photo at that moment." Liara replied, shrugging her shoulder. She picked a picture of the silver wolf from the internet to use for her story. The only couple she could trust for this work was her sister Caroline and her mate, Artemis. She knew that they would help her without asking tons of questions in return.
"Not just that, even the date and the name of the pack mentioned in the news are wrong. So that people won't get suspicious about the connection between the death of those vampires with Theodore's Lycan." Liara explained. She had planned perfectly before taking this step.
"Even vampires can see this news?" Alaric asked.
"Yes!! They can if they enter in werewolves' land because the signal of this channel is blocked in their land." Liara replied before asking, "Do you want to hide this news from anyone from your coven?"
"No. I don't want to hide it." Alaric said, shaking his head. "But I think my master knew that Beasty's wolf was a Lycan because he knows Beasty from the days when he was just a baby. That's the reason he never shifted. I have read that Lycan doesn't shift until they find their mate. Maybe that's why I never show him shifting before. Now that, if he will see this news, then he will be realized that Beasty found his mate already."
"Oh. Is that a problem? I mean, if he finds out that Theo found his mate?" Liara asked and received no response in return because Alaric didn't want to tell her that how they used to treat mates in their coven for the first time. "Guess what? Forget that question. But the theory about Lycan not shifting until they find their mate is applied only to hybrid or Tribid or more. So that their mate or mates can help them in handling their powers together; if anyone is a pure Lycan, then they can shift any age of their life depending on the nature of their Lycan. Some shift at ten, then some at fifteen or sixteen years old." She said and realized that she was giving him more information than required. She really couldn't control her knowledge and started distributing it everywhere, even when no one asked for it.

"Does someone really think that they will able to fool me by showing me fake news?" Elder Ozul spoke, watching the news, and observed the email id. "If you want to play, then let's play." He muttered and started tying the email.
'Hello there,
I want to meet the new Alpha. And I also know Kennedy Wayne, my Luna. I can never forget that horrible night in my life. Please reply to me back. I'm an old man of 108 years old, and I don't want to close my eyes before meeting the new Alpha.'
With this, he sent the email and fumed in anger.
'Alaric!! You're so dead. You didn't inform me about Beast finding his mate.' He thought and dialed someone's number.
"Why did you call me?" The person on the other side asked icily.
"I had to ask that how much time more?" Ozul asked.
"Less than four weeks."
"I'm so proud of you, Beast." Hearing this, Theodore disconnected the call. No one, not even Alaric, knew that he had a keypad phone that Ozul had given him so that they could talk once a month directly without keeping Alaric in the loop. 'I'm glad that I never trusted Alaric blindly.' He thought and started planning Alaric's murder in such a way that Theodore would end up believing that it was werewolves who killed his only friend.
"I will never let him know the truth. NEVER."
