Carlisle’s gaze sharpened.

“They’ve hidden poison capsules behind their back molars. The instant they realize they’re about to be taken alive, they bite down.”

Sylas clicked his tongue in frustration.

“I tried stopping one before he could do it.”

“I wasn’t fast enough.”

His irritation was obvious.

“Whoever planned this thought of everything.”

His voice turned even grimmer.

“It gets worse.”

“They’re cursed.”

Carlisle’s expression hardened.

“What kind of curse?”

“A kill-switch.”

    “It could be something much larger.” The Alpha King’s brows drew together at this. Victoria noticed this and immediately clarified. “What I’m saying is…” “We still don’t know what’s actually happening inside the Red Moon Pack.” “These attacks may only be one piece of a larger conflict.” She continued. “Over the past few years, the Red Moon Pack has expanded its influence through exclusive trade agreements with several neutral packs.” “Those trade routes generate wealth.” “They also create enemies.” She glanced briefly toward the ministers responsible for commerce. “It’s entirely possible another pack has begun coveting those routes.” “If open conflict would draw the attention of the Royal Capital…” “Then disguising their actions as rogue attacks becomes the safer choice.” Several officials exchanged thoughtful glances. Victoria continued before anyone interrupted. “The increasing frequency of the attacks suggests growing urgency.” “Perhaps whoever is

    Maybe the objective was to force the kingdom to look everywhere at once until it became incapable of seeing anything clearly. Victoria’s thoughts shifted toward the west. That situation troubled her almost as much as the drought. The locusts hadn’t appeared gradually. There had been no warning. No signs. No smaller swarms that might have alerted nearby settlements. One day the fields stood healthy beneath the sun. The next… Dark clouds of insects descended from the sky and stripped entire farms bare. It was as though they had appeared out of nowhere. The timing couldn’t have been worse. This year’s harvest had promised to be one of the best in decades. The royal treasury had already begun planning how surplus grain from the western territories would be redirected to support the drought-stricken south until rainfall returned. That strategy should have bought the kingdom enough time to survive. Instead… The west itself had become another battlefield.Agricultural scholar

    “Your Majesty.” Victoria stepped forward just enough to speak without raising her voice. “There are several inconsistencies in this report.” The court fell silent. Although she wore the uniform of an ordinary assistant, there was a quiet confidence in the way she carried herself. She didn’t sound like someone offering a guess. She sounded like someone laying out pieces of a puzzle. “We still don’t know why the rogues keep targeting the Red Moon Pack.” She paused briefly. “But I don’t believe these attacks are as simple as hunger or shifting hunting grounds because of food shortages.” Her eyes lowered to the report resting in the secretary’s hands. “The pattern doesn’t support that conclusion.” She continued calmly. “Likewise, our scouts haven’t reported any unusual military activity from the Vampire Domain since their forces withdrew from the border. Their movements have remained consistent for months.” “That doesn’t completely rule them out.” “But at this point, we don’t

    Several months earlier, three southern packs had simultaneously reported an unusually severe drought.When investigators arrived, they discovered that the region’s largest freshwater lake had nearly disappeared.The surrounding land hadn’t received meaningful rainfall for almost eight months.Livestock were dying.Fields were withering.Harvests were collapsing.Without immediate intervention, several territories would have struggled to survive the coming winter.The report reached the Alpha King almost immediately.He authorized an emergency deployment of royal mages to create artificial rainfall across the affected region.The operation succeeded.But it demanded an enormous amount of magical resources, manpower, and money.Before the kingdom could fully recover from that crisis, another emerged.A massive locust swarm devastated the western territories.Soon afterward, a plague began spreading through several northern settlements.One disaster followed another without pause.The Do

    Carlisle fell quiet for a moment before speaking again.“The biggest obstacle is finding them.”His voice had lost some of its edge, replaced by the calm focus of someone sorting through every option still available.“The good witches have spent centuries hiding themselves from the world. Most people never meet one in their entire lifetime. They avoid kingdoms, avoid politics, and certainly avoid werewolves whenever they can.”He glanced down at the blood-stained earring still resting in his palm.“But if anyone outside the Mage Tower understands curses and artifacts like these, it would be them.”His fingers slowly closed around the earring before slipping it into a small leather pouch.“And if reaching the Sacred Land is beyond our reach…”He looked ahead, already thinking several steps ahead.“…perhaps we should consider the mermaids.”Sylas raised an eyebrow.“The mermaids?”Carlisle nodded.“They’ve existed just as long as the other ancient races. Their archives are older than mo

    Tori’s POV I immersed myself in my work, hoping it would help numb the pain slowly consuming my heart. As night descended, no one reached out to me or even sent a mindlink, leaving me feeling utterly isolated, as if I had been cut off from everyone. But I pushed those thoughts aside and focused o

    Tori’s POV It was as though they were making no effort to hide their actions, openly flaunting their connection in front of everyone, intentionally deepening my hurt. The mockery in their voices was unmistakable, and it stung sharply in the silence that followed. Carlisle's subordinates seemed

    Tori’s POV Hearing it straight from his mouth, I felt my world crash down, but I couldn't even let out a whimper as pain consumed my body. After being away from each other for a long time, our mate bond was weaker, but even then, I could still feel the pain in my heart as a lone tear fell from my

    Tori’s POV "Luna! Luna Victoria! We've just received a report from the frontlines. The war is over!!!" Gamma Sylas's heavy footsteps rang through the hallway as he hurried toward my office, where I was buried in the grain production report from our farm. His excited voice echoed from down the hal
