Chapter 236: _A Hunter
"What happened to Elder Luzia?!" Governor Daniel barked at Kaelos and me when we managed to escape to the lobby.
The lobby was dimly lit despite it being morning but red alarm lights were going off. A television screen at the corner showed a local news report with "Breaking News".
"The city has been placed under lockdown for no apparent reason other than a possible security breach." The female journalist spoke with a pensive expression. "Citizens are panicking since this comes not even twenty-four hours after the arrival of the Alpha King and his hybrid wife."
Hybrid wife?
I shook my head, swallowing hard and panting a little, trying to catch my breath as my mind reeled with Luzia’s sacrifice. There was no doubt Leticia was her student or someone she cared about.
Luzia had struck me as a cold, calculated leader but it seemed she had a soft side. She was hoping to get through to Leticia and probably break the raven witch’s possession.
Suddenly, Kaelos, who had been standing beside me in the large lobby, growled menacingly, facing Governor Daniel and the human soldiers who followed behind him.
"You..." Kaelos said as the human soldiers raised their guns in alarm while the governor remained firmly rooted to where he stood.
Kaelos didn’t stop until he was only a few inches in front of the governor, his fangs bared as he continued. "You tried making us feel like there was nothing to be hidden in those military archives. Yet, we went up there and saw footage showing YOUR human soldiers working for a witch to capture werewolves."
The governor’s expression faltered just a little with what seemed like shock and fear. It wasn’t the kind that showed on the face of someone guilty.
No... He was as clueless as the rest of us.
