Chapter 1052 Spies
Crystal''s POV:
I took my son out for a walk that evening when I received a call from ir. I declined without a second thought, not wanting to get involved in any
trouble
But ir was persistent, and kept calling me for the next few minutes. In the end, I had no choice but to find a quiet ce to take the call.
"Hello, what''s up?” I asked in a low voice. "Do you have any news aboutn?"
"Why are you whispering like a thief?” ir teased, chuckling to herself.
"I don''t want Rufus'' men to find me talking to you,” I spoke under my breath, cupping my hand over my phone''s speaker as I did. I nced around
and sighed in relief when I saw no one. Even so, I knew that there must be someone out there who was spying on me in the dark.
"Don''t worry. Rufus won''t tamper with your phone.” ir sounded confident as he reassured me.
"I sincerely doubt that. Rufus is already suspicious of me. I have no idea what he''s thinking. In any case, I need to take extra precautions and be
more careful at this time.”
ir sighed, and then her tone became serious. "We haven''t foundn yet. I have something important to tell you, though."
"All right, go ahead.” His manner was infectious, and I grew somber as well.
"It''s true that Rufus is suspecting you. The main purpose of this investigation on the border pack is to dig up information about you. I intended to
brush him off, but I unexpectedly ran into some otherplications while I was investigating.” ir paused for a moment, and when he continued, his
voice seemed to have gone deeper. "My men caught two spies hidden among the pack. They work for the vampires.”
This surprised me. Since the union
of the border packs, we had
maintained avtively peaceful
rtionshi pwith the vampires. They.
were stilkpeople who liked to maké
troubléevery now and then, of ~
cOUrsé, but they were easily taken
care of. And thankfully, theytwere
wise enough to keep in line after
going through severe punishment.
The border packs even did business
with the vampires, sometimes.
Then again, the vampires at the
border only behaved because

downtd a full-on battle right now,
ther@ was a good chance he
wouldn''t be able to protecthis
nsmen. He was right t6 keep a
low profile.
Which was why I was taken aback to learn that they had nted spies in my pack. If the vampires attempted to break the peace, the werewolves
would definitely not sit idle and did nothing.
"Where did you find the spies?" I asked, still keeping my voice low.
“One was in the army, while the other was among the guards stationed at the city gate.”
I frowned. My heart felt heavy inside my chest. Both the barracks and the city gates had a constant influx of people. It wouldn''t be easy to sneak your
way in. Those spies must have been well-prepared. Who was behind this? There was only one person I could think of—Hubson
But Hubson was practically on the verge of death because of the curse on him. He wouldn''t have had the strength to hash out such a covert n,
much less put it into action.
I clutched my phone and fell into silence. On the other end, ir said nothing, either. He was waiting for me to speak first.
"What do you think about all of this?” I finally asked.
ir gave it some thought before
saying, "It must have something to
do with Hubsor. Some of the spies’
immediate family members have
been transformed into hybrids. That
makes them easy prey for SS
pure- btooded vampires. They ? can be
manipted into doing anything,
even into supporting vampires
instead. As a matter of fact, it isn''t
so hard to figure out their reasons
for doing this. The problem is that I
have no way of knowing just how
many of Hubson''s men have
infiltrated our pack.” Content

“But Hubson is still suffering from the curse. He—No, wait. Wait!" No sooner had I mentioned this than something else urred to me. "He was
cursed by Noreen... Has the curse been removed upon Noreen''s death?”
