“Yes, he’d secure those crucial medicinal resources, essentially holding the Thorn Edge Pack’s fate in his hands. Once he wields that as leverage, those affected by the poison would have no choice but to obey him.”

Ivy asked, “But this is a betrayal. A person with courage wouldn’t just obey, right?”
I grinned, a hint of regret in my expression. “Ivy, you’re too trusting. Remember, if we didn’t locate the source of the poisonous fog in the forest, it would torment the Thorn Edge Pack for generations. That’s why so many people are willing to bow to Luis if he holds the remedy. Sooner or later, he’ll wrest the Alpha status away from Caleb. Otherwise, why would he take such a monumental risk?”
Ivy was aghast. “This is awfully conniving. Werewolves can be such dreadful creatures!”

I smiled and said, “Fortunately, I managed to save everyone, and Luis’ scheme was uncovered so he wouldn’t succeed that early, easily.”
Ivy breathed a sigh of relief. “So everything’s going to be all right now, isn’t it?”
I shook my head, causing Ivy’s concern to resurface. “I’m not certain.
Even though this plan didn’t pan out, it drew a lot of attention and gave Luis some breathing room.”
“What? That won’t…”
Boom! A sharp noise cut through the air as the former Alpha, his demeanor stern, pounded the table in the meeting room.
The commotion of the elders hushed instantly.
While I was in the midst of a conversation with Ivy, I couldn’t help but sense that the former Alpha had something pressing on his mind.
His countenance grew colder by the moment. It was evident he grasped Luis’ intentions.
At that juncture, it became crystal clear that Luis’ appearance in Roz Town was only about drug control, a means to manipulate the Thorn Edge Pack through fear.
Without delay, the former Alpha ordered, “No need for further words.
Caleb, handle this matter!”
The shadowed figures in the room exchanged confused glances, struggling to fathom the unfolding situation.

Offering no explanation, Caleb issued a grave command. “Carlos, detain every member of the Barton family within the Thorn Edge Pack and seize their assets.”
“Understood,” Carlos replied, turning to leave. But before he departed, a question lingered in his mind. “Caleb, should we not dispatch our forces to Roz Town as well?”
Caleb stole a quick glance at him before getting to the point. “If we send our troops over there all bold and conspicuous, the Xeric Pack might misinterpret our intentions, thinking we’re gearing up for an attack. That could escalate tensions between the two packs.”
Only then did Carlos grasp the situation, his concern etched across his face. “Can the folks in Roz Town handle Luis? Two batches of residents have already come here, and the young, strong ones alone may not suffice. I’m afraid…”
I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Carlos, don’t fret. The Xeric Pack has already dispatched support.”
“Support from the Xeric Pack? Who?” Carlos was baffled.
Suddenly, a memory seemed to dawn on him. He cast his gaze around, astonishment in his voice as he asked, “Debra, wasn’t Zoe always by your side? Where is she now?”
