Chapter 26
CARLYLES POV
Upon getting to the west sub gate, everywhere was burning. The guard wasn’t lying when
he said it was sudden, Cliven the position and condition of everything, it was indeed a
sneak attack. The guards and pack members who were at the spot at that moment were
dead. Only a few number of them survived. Stalls were destroyed and a few number of
children were not left out in the peril
“What the hell is going on? What is this, Alpha Carlyle? Please tend to this… our kids….our
goods…. everything is all gone.” The affected pack members wailed in my
presence.
“It’ll surely be taken care of.” I muttered, leaving Donald and some Gammas to take care
of the damage while I headed toward the direction where the bombs were thrown from.
This time around, it wasn’t a joke. I needed raw evidence to conclude it was the
Canthrastras and not a group of rebels pretending to be them.
“Carl!” Donald held my hand, shaking his head. He was scared of the outcome and didn’t

Heading there, outside my pack borders, I found no one there. Everywhere was dry and no
one was in sight. It felt as though nothing ever happened there, as if no activity was ever
carried out there. Something was wrong somewhere. Scrutinizing every bit of the
surrounding. I checked for clues. After several search, I couldn’t find anyone or anything.
They surely take up to their name. They left a clean trail with no evidence.
Heading back, a falling banner attracted my attention. It was rolling down from the top of
a nearby tree where I stood. It read:
“This is just the beginning. You shall pay for your crimes soon.”
I looked around to see who must have suspended it but I couldn’t see any being despite.
using my primal senses. Returning back to my pack, I had so many thoughts and
worries.
Chapter 26
Donald, who was eager for information, hurried to intercept me upon my arrival. His
impatience was very noticeable as he inquired, “Any news?” It was evident he had been
anxiously anticipating my update and arrival.
–
“Nothing, only this.” I presented the only tangible clue I could find the suspended banner.
Bewilderment showed on his face as he questioned its significance.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
“I have no idea. But I sense there’s more to this than meets the eyes.” I admitted with at
hint of uncertainty. The air hung heavy with unspoken concerns, hinting at the web of
unknown challenges that awaited us.
“What’s your plan?” Donald asked, fully ready for any impending role he would play. This
was our pack at stake here and we’re going to guard it by all means.
“First, we need to find something definite, something we can relate to the Canthrastras
before we can alert other packs and beings and get all the possible help we may need.”
“Right, but how do you plan to do that?”
“With this, it shows that the Canthrastras are ready and prepared for whatever it is they
are planning. This sneak attack wasn’t expected by us and with this,” I raised the banner
for him to know what I was talking about.
“…we don’t know when they’re going to strike next. We can say it’s going to be later and
it should be sooner than expected or vice versa.”
“Which means we have to be fully prepared.”
“Yes. Firstly, I want you to secretly dispatch the batch one Special garrison to the west
gate and the batch two to the east gate. Those are the two weakest gates of the pack
borders. The other gates can hold off till they have reinforcement.”
“Sure, however, I feel like they have a spy among us and they have someone controlling
them,” Donald commented.
“Why do you say that?”
Η
Since ancient times, the Canthrastras are known to act boldly and not the way this was
staged. If they’re really acting on their own accord, they wouldn’t bother clearing
evidence.”
Donald was right. That was just how they behave. They were always ready and bold.
Always ready to go to war without surrender or backing out.

“I’ve contemplated it as well, and tonight, I’ll take action,” I declared with a resolute
tone.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netDonald was perplexed by my response and sought clarification.
“What do you mean?” His uncertainty lingered in the air, prompting the need for an
explanation of my impending actions.
“I’ll be heading out,” I whispered to him in a hush tone. “I’m heading to Aridah. I need to
see for myself what’s going on there.”
“You could have just sent the guards and messenger. Why are you heading over there
yourself?”
“It’s better off that way. I have my reasons,” I said with a tone of finality.
“In that case, I’ll go with you. Let’s pull it off together. We can have the Gammas prepare
the pack.” Donald was determined to go with me.
“No, Donald. A pack cannot live without its leader for a day. Since I’ll be leaving, it’s better
you stay behind. One, if they truly have spies among us, they’ll surely take our absence as
the best time to attack. Two, every pack member is on edge about the unexpected
incident today, including those greedy elders. If you leave with me, what do you think will
happen?”
“I understand, Carl. I’ll stay back. But be careful out there, okay?”
“You don’t have to worry, Donald. I’m going with the Death force!” I whispered to him.
“The death force? Isn’t that too attracting?” Donald was shocked.
Ever since Moon Shade was founded, there has been a special guard force called the
‘Death force. This was because they had been trained to kill anytime, anywhere without a
flinch. Anywhere they are spelt nothing but doom and death! Always wearing a murderous
intent without pity for anyone. No one could tell who is
force except themselves and the Alpha.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” I replied.
