Chapter 22: _Speak Of The Devil
When Elder Davina finally walked up to our group, she gave me a slight bow before she continued speaking. "I made sure to take a look at the body of the deceased myself and discovered something unsettling."
She paused, adding to the tension that was already building up like a volcano inside me.
I clenched my jaw, pondering the possibility of Odessa being behind this.
’If she comes for any of my people, I swear I will rip–’ Before I could complete that sentence in my head, Damon interrupted.
’Oh please, will you relax?! You’ve been so hard on that poor girl. She’s our mate for the moon’s sake.’ he scolded like a disappointed parent.
But I only grunted in response, managing to keep my anger at bay as Elder Davina finally continued talking.
"The girl’s life force was taken away. The essence that makes up her existence as a living being." She explained with a somber tone.

My body tensed up when I heard those words.
No werewolf could take away a person’s life force...
"Taking away a person’s life force." My uncle remarked with a snigger. "Sounds oddly like the work of a slimy little witch, doesn’t it?"
