Chapter 224: _Forget Our Problems
"There were casualties, sir."
As soon as I heard that last part from Layla’s call, my blood ran cold with dread.
"Casualties how, Layla? We need more details." Kaelos asked the question burning in my mind, although I already had an idea of how it happened.
He stared at me as I slowly closed my eyes, placing my right hand in front of my mouth.
"They clashed with the guards after one of the protesters got shot. A teenage werewolf named Farak. According to him, his father went missing during the day of the Lord of the North’s broadcast, and he blamed the Luna Queen for it." Layla explained with a solemn voice.
I drew in a deep breath.
While I was here trying to gain the trust of the werewolves, starting with the people of Mexico, the werewolves of our home pack, Blood Oak, were tearing each other apart because of me.
Because they wanted me gone. Because they were afraid of me.
"Has the riot been dispelled? What are the latest updates on the situation there?" Kaelos continued asking, his voice pensive.
"Yes, the riot was dispelled when the deaths from both sides became... Too much. Five guards and ten civilians lost their lives in the altercation, and dozens more were injured." Layla reported. "Rumours have begun spreading that you abandoned the people, sir. And that Luna Queen Odessa is in control of you."
Goddess, have mercy.
