Chapter 766

Chapter 111 : Bait

*Soren*

Fists clenched, I stomped toward Thomas, glaring at him. Mila and I finally had some alone time and now this…

I was angry, frustrated, and more than a little wound up.

Thomas arched an eyebrow at me as I approached.

“Something wrong?”

“This better be urgent,” I snarled.

Thomas smirked and shook his head. “I didn’t interrupt something, did I?”

Scoffing, I threw my head back. “Tell me why you called me here.”

Thomas had hit the nail on the head, but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction. He would just tease me anyway, and we had more pressing matters, according to him.

“Patrol reported a breach on the southeast side of the packland. Mila’s maze was breached,” he told me.

“How?” I asked, creasing my brow.

Thomas shrugged. “We haven’t figured that out yet. All we can tell is that at least one intruder got inside and has been sneaking through the packlands for about 30 minutes or so.”

“Do we know who they are or what they want?” I crossed my arms, my annoyance quickly dissipating as the safety of these people became my only concern.

“No,” Thomas shook his head. “We couldn’t identify the intruder. Soren, if this is one of the king’s men… we’ve been exposed.”

I held up a hand to keep Thomas from working himself up more.

“I doubt that the king would send one lonely soldier to warn us he was coming. Right now, focus on the Norwind survivors. Check for any injuries, fatalities, or damages.”

“Already done. No one was injured, definitely no fatalities, and no damage. This intruder slipped in. It was like they didn’t want to be found, like a spy.”

“Hmm.”

“They were cunning and didn’t leave a trace. Our patrols couldn’t track them down. You still think the king isn’t involved?”

I shook my head, not sure of anything. “Were there any pack members that could identify the intruder? Any witnesses?”

Pretty much everyone was at the party, other than you and Mila. no one spotted the strangers.”

I stroked my chin.

“You’re wrong, Thomas, not everyone was at the party…”

“Ashley!”

I nodded. With silent consent, Thomas and I headed to Ashley’s place. It was a temporary house that was set up for the warriors who were coming and going with supplies. Ashley had claimed a single room for herself.

Her room was empty.

I sighed and bowed my head.
