Chapter 76: _Seeking Answers

Yes, I needed to see Odessa and see if I could get any information on the witch from the welcoming ball last night, but there’s been something I’ve been meaning to do for a while.

"Outrageous! There has been no murder case in this pack for years." An elderly voice nearly exclaimed until the others shushed him.
