Amidst his suffering, there was a moment where the aide seemed to come back to himself, his eyes losing their red haze and his blood-stained face showing regret.
âIâm sorry, it wasnât my intention,â he said, grimacing in pain.
I donât understand why I acted this way.
I was taken aback to see him return to his senses.
I pressed him for answers.
âExplain what happened.
How did you come under this spell, and who sent you to attack Alpha Patrick?â
With his last bits of strength, the aide explained hurriedly and with clarity, âNot long ago, while running an errand, I encountered a mysterious woman.
I accidentally knocked her over, and when I looked into her eyes as I helped her up, my mind got foggy.
I lost control of myself, filled with an overwhelming urge to attack Alpha Patrick.
â
âIs this woman from the Thorn Edge Pack?â
âIâm not sure.
I didnât recognize herâ¦â
And with those final words, the aide passed away, his eyes still showing regret for what he had done to Patrick, unable to find peace even in death.
Anger and frustration welled up inside me.
This had to be another scheme by the witches.
What were they planning? Why were they targeting the Thorn Edge Pack over and over?
But there was no time to ponder these questions.
Patrick needed urgent medical care, or he wouldnât survive.
Without a second to lose, I rushed to Patrickâs side, lifting him up and racing to the nearest medical facility to save his life.
Carlosâ POV:
Patrick was taken in for urgent treatment.
The âIn Surgeryâ sign hadnât even lit up for ten minutes, but chaos erupted outside.
Amidst the noise, I barely caught someone shouting, âThis is terrible!
Roz Town residents launched a surprise attack on the Thorn Edge Pack!
Run for your lives!â
Did Roz Town residents sneakily attack the Thorn Edge Pack?
What was happening?
I was about to investigate further when a wounded subordinate approached, looking anxious.
âBeta, Roz Town residents have rebelled and are attacking us!â
My brow furrowed as if I couldnât quite believe what I heard.
âHow could Roz Town residents rebel?â I asked, puzzled.
âArenât they just ordinary residents? Canât we just send the army to stop them now and figure out the rest later?â
But my subordinate shook his head vigorously, fear evident in his eyes.
âNo, theyâre not just ordinary residents!â
