Chapter 30 (A Beast In The Woods)
Ahena’s POV
Upon returning to reality, an indescribable surge of emotions overwhelmed me, a mix of the boy's pain and the haunting fear that I might be dead. Clutching my chest, I wrestled to regain control.
“Are you okay?” Yifa's distant voice broke through. I couldn't find the words to respond.
“I knew working in that kitchen all day would take its toll,” she said, her voice trembling as she squatted before me.
“Are you crying?” Her surprise echoed, as tears unknowingly traced my cheeks.
Using my handkerchief, I wiped away the tears and leaned back in the chair, drawing deep breaths.
“Should I call someone?” Yifa offered, concern etched across her face. Silently,

Gonzolo had already left at the time.Curiosity etched my expression as I questioned the enforcers, seeking to unravel the nature of the crisis. "What is going on?""We discovered dead rogues, it appears to have transpired last night," an enforcer responded, and just then, Tala arrived."Not again!" Her frustration resonated in a growl as she laid eyes on the bodies."There are four now?" she added, her concern deepening."Yes, and the same strange marks as the one from before," I observed keenly, catching a faint scent of something familiar that I couldn’t identify. "However, a local was entangled in the dilemma," the enforcers disclosed."What?!"

Athena’s POV I lay in my room, my hands soothing my throbbing head as Yifa arrived with herbs to alleviate my headache.“Don't you think these headaches are becoming more frequent?” Yifa observed.“Hmm.”“Don't you think it has something to do with your wolf?”She doesn't know about me not having a wolf, or maybe she has observed its absence. Either way, she has a point, it might be connected, but I don't sense the presence of a wolf at all.“I'll be fine,” I assured her.Ralph hadn't returned when I woke from my nap, and the herbs had improved my condition. After a refreshing shower, he unexpectedly appeared, and I couldn't shake off my surprise.“Hey, good morning,” he greeted with a smile.“Hey… morning,” I stammered.“Are you okay?”“Yes.”For some reason, I kept seeing the reflection of that beast in him.

Despite the demands, the strong security circled my pack and provided a reassuring ground. No signs of the beast had emerged, yet I remained vigilant, unwilling to lower my guard.I visited Tala, our work concluding before engaging in a conversation."Does Athena have any idea of what you're about to do?" Tala inquired."If she does, the element of surprise would be lost, don't you think?" I replied."Ah!" Tala exclaimed in realization.The weight of my obligations as an Alpha weighed on me, especially concerning Athena.Returning home, a hint scent lingered in my room, similar to that of the rogues. I dismissed the thought, attributing it to a servant who must have worked in the room earlier, shaking off the thought. After a refreshing shower, I addressed matters with the servants in their quarters before retiring to bed.The following morning, my routine com
