Chapter 238: The biggest threat to the Luna...
Selene POV
The cool evening breeze carried the scent of impending rain as I paced the length of Noah’s bedroom, my mind was still a whirlwind of fear and disbelief. The auditors that were on our way to the pack for investigation, especially the members of the pack that had security clearance were found dead just a mile away from Moon Whisper.
Noah has not had a moment of rest since the news broke earlier today. What was worse, the news of the death of the auditors had somehow gotten to the ears of the people and now, our communication department was running through and fro trying to assure the people that they need not be afraid.
But who were they deceiving?
Everyone knows that auditors... no matter how intense a war is, even something as simple as a riot, they cannot be killed. Once they’re dressed in their uniforms for identification both fighting sides cannot kill them. They were like mini gods around here.
My gaze strayed to Noah who was back from his office but was still working. The girls were also in the outer part of Noah’s bedroom sleeping, they were the first people he had asked for as soon as the news had broken and it warmed my heart greatly at that act. More than anything, I wished I could leave the pack house for a few minutes to the mountain where I always go to talk with the moon goddess.
Why was this happening? She hadn’t mentioned anything about this kind of bloodshed and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was hiding something from me. As for Kragen... it’s been almost two months since I last heard from him. Was he busy? Or was he serving punishment again? Still, it would have been nice to have him at this moment.
Noah was typing furiously on his phone as he muttered more to himself than to me. "We need to alert the pack elders, increase patrols around the territory borders and see if we can bring in the women and the children from the lower village into the terrain of the pack house. Maybe we can convince some of the neutral packs to side with us,".
I paused my pacing, turning to face Noah. "Do you think that will be enough? We don’t even know what we’re going up against. Nora and Brooke are still in their quarters. We need to identify the source of the threat before we take action. I want to believe that those women are smart enough to consume an entire pack because of jealousy,".
