Chapter 124
As Micah ordered, n stayed behind to take care of the pce and the royal council, while Dax
followed his king and queen to the Red River pack three dayster.
It took two days to reach that pack from the capital city, and Alpha Samuel was waiting for them at
the borders for their carriage just like thest time to greet Micah and the rest.
However, there was no rogue attack this time and once they received them, Micah immediately
called for an audience from Mire, the witch.
“Alpha Samuel, summon the witch immediately,” Micah said, following the alpha into the strategy
room of this Red River pack.
“On it, My King!” The alpha bowed to the king as he opened the door for his king and queen so that
they could enter the strategy room.
“Little one, do you want to rest some more?” Micah asked Abby once they were settled at the table,
to wait for the witch. They were on the road for two days straight, but Abby insisted that she would
also sit through this meeting.
Even though Abby felt a little lethargic from all the journey, she still stood by her word from earlier.
“We can rest once we learn the new leads.”
Abby knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep even if she wanted with the thoughts of what Mire might
have found about Calpin’s whereabouts guing her mind. So wasn’t it better to just wait a little
more?
Micah, obviously, knew what was running through her little mind, so he didn’t try to persuade her
again, but he called Alyssa over. “Go to the kitchen and instruct them to prepare a few light dishes.”
“Yes, My King!” Alyssa immediately left to get the work done so that she could go and check what
else Abby might need in the guest bedroom the king and queen would stay in while they were here.
It didn''t take long for Alpha Samuel and Mire to arrive, but Abby didn’t expect she was in for a
shock.
“Long live, the King and the Queen!” The witch bowed to them solemnly once she stepped into the
room along with the alpha. When she stood back up, Abby couldn’t help but feel there was
something off with the way Mire looked at her.
It was only for a brief second, but Abby felt the witch definitely seemed a bit different today.
Micah too noticed it, but asked for the witch and Alpha Samuel to sit down with them first. “Your
missive about information on Calpin, what exactly are your leads?”
“Word reached our ears that ck magic appeared in a pack nearby,” Mire started, but from her
tone, both Micah and Abby could tell it wasn’t a case of ordinary ck magic.
So Abby asked the obvious. “What sets it apart from the other such incidents?”
“There were two peculiar things about this,” Mire started. “One is the ce where it urred and
the other is the strangeness of its effect.”
“borate!” Micah ordered, while Abby felt an increasingly bad feeling about this.
“It is like this, someone, a warrior in particr, died a few days ago in this certain pack,” the witch
exined to them slowly. “The cause of the death was quite strange. His skin, every single inch of
it, charred until he looked darker than the sky on a new moon’s night, but there was no poison
detected in his system.”
At the visual that came to her mind, Abby gasped audibly because she didn’t want what she was
thinking to be the actual reason for this death, however, she couldn’t be more right.
“The healers from several neighbouring packs checked on the body and dered he died of
excessive internal heat.” Mire looked at Abby again and nodded at her, as if seconding her
unspoken conclusion.
“He was burned from within?” Micah asked, but Mire’s answer shocked him as well.
“Yes, but without fire. Not a single trace of me, and he died right in front of the pack house, in
broad daylight, his skin darkening in less than half an hour.”
“How is it possible?” Abby asked, not because she couldn''t tell but because her mind couldn’t
comprehend the idea at all.
There was no fire, but his skin charred until it looked like ck coal? Just what kind of absurdity
was this?
“In what pack did it ur?” Micah was more concerned about this answer, and he again saw Mire
looking at Abby with this odd look in her eyes, and when the queen looked back at her, the witch
finally opened her mouth.
“The Silver Moon Pack!”

“What?!!” Abby couldn’t believe her ears, but she finally understood why the witch kept giving her
those weird eyes since she came earlier.
“Yes, your old pack, that’s where it happened, and people are terrified out of their minds now.”
Of course, they would be terrified. After all, they had never encountered such powerful dark magic
before.
No wonder, Mire connected those dots back to Calpin, because she knew how that bastard tried
to burn both Micah and Abby from within as well.
This was going to be such a huge mess!
“We are going to your old pack!” Micah suddenly said, leaving Abby even more bbergasted, but
she didn’t voice out her opinion on this, knowing the severity of the situation. “Early tomorrow
morning. Pack your stuff, Mire.”
Just like that, everything was all set for them to go to the Silver Moon pack, and Abby didn’t know
how she walked to the guest bedroom arranged for them, because Micah had to discuss a few
other things with Alpha Samuel and Mire and also about their journey.
Later that night, when the king finally returned to their room, he could tell the girl in his arms was
restless for some reason, but it wasn’t that obvious. However, when he asked, Abby only told him
she was tired.
She didn’t tell him the fact that she didn’t want to go back to her old pack. She had too many bad
memories in that ce, going back would only bring them all back. But she couldn’t say anything
about it to him, now of all times.
