Out of respect, Caleb and I dressed formally to greet our guests before we proceeded to the Thorn Edge Pack’s reception room.


    Upon our arrival, we found the Alphas already seated and waiting.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Their faces shifted, and they stood up as soon as they saw us.


    Among them, Isaac, the leader of the Fen Pack, seemed particrly troubled.


    Isaac, now nearing sixty, had closely cropped hair and a friendly appearance, yet he was known for his short temper.


    Rumor had it that his vtile nature had driven away his previous two wives.


    Isaac forcefully mmed his hand on the table, demanding loudly, “Caleb, Debra, I need a reasonable exnation today!”

    An exnation?


    For what, exactly?


    I knit my brows,pletely at a loss about the situation.


    This usation was entirely unexpected and perplexing.


    Caleb nced around the room, then sat down with me across from Isaac, who was ring intensely.


    Caleb inquired calmly, “What’s the issue?”


    Isaac let out a dismissive snort.


    Once everyone was seated again, Isaac resumed his seat, though still visibly irate, and scolded, “This must be the doing of your witch Luna!”


    As he talked, Eric’s intense gaze fixed on me.


    The other Alphas also stared coldly at me, as though I hadmitted a grave offense.


    I was utterly baffled by their usations.


    Had I been involved in something serious like murder or arson?


    Thest time we met, these Alphas hadn’t been openly hostile, only a bit sharp in theirments.


    How could their attitude have shifted so drastically in just a few days?


    Despite racking my brain, I couldn’t recall any recent actions of mine that could have possibly affected other packs.


    I had been detained for a few days recently and couldn’t have left even if I wanted to.


    Finding no fault in my actions, I stated clearly, “If you have something to say, just say it.


    Staring won’t solve anything.


    Caleb and I can’t guess your thoughts; we’re not mind readers.


    ”


    Isaac snorted once more, as he had earlier.


    This time, he dramatically threw his arm in a gesture of defiance and stated coldly, “Recently, we’ve found werewolves in our territory drained of blood.


    Our investigation suggests that these killings were done by vampires.


    ”


    He then fixed a harsh re on me, his teeth clenched, and said, “And these vampires, they emerged from that rift!”
