Werewolf Leveling: Building the Strongest Pack in the Apocalypse Chapter 122: We need to talk

The sound of a gunshot rang out in the air, and soon more shots were fired. In one split second, the ceremony turned into a massacre as there were people from my pack with guns and knives slaughtering each other, but what really shocked was the sound of a blood-curdling scream.

"Noah!"

My eyes widened when I saw an attacker, one of the n Derrick and Liora brought back, rushing to Noah with a knife in hand. Noah acted instantly and protected his wife. The blade pierced through his stomach.

"Noah!" Mariane scread, and with one swing of her claws, she decapitated the attacker.

I acted instantly and rushed to Noah.

"You have to save him, please."

I examined his wound and felt a bit relieved. He was gravely injured. It looked as if it might’ve pierced a lung, but I was just thankful it didn’t hit his head. I didn’t waste another second and imdiately sank my teeth into his neck, turning him so that he would heal from his injuries.

After I was done with Noah, I turned my attention back to the scene that was unfolding in front of . So of the humans Derrick had brought back were attacking my pack. The werewolves and skinwalkers in my pack were fighting them off easily, but so of the humans were getting killed.

"What is happening?"

It didn’t take long for the humans who suddenly attacked us to be disard and killed. I couldn’t help but think that there was sothing I was overlooking. Sothing I was failing to notice, but then it clicked.

"Soone is missing."

"Darling?" Selthia looked at questioningly.

"Where is Isabella?"

"I-I don’t know; she was here just monts ago, but then she suddenly disappeared."

It was all starting to make sense.

"Help them handle things here. I’m going back to the office," I said to the others as I rushed off.

When I got to the office, I pulled out one of the drawers and took out the ring Eira gave and used it to summon the witch. Instantly, the sa witch as before, Ember, appeared. She had an amused smile on her face as she looked at .

I wasted no ti and got to what I wanted to ask.

"This is the Veymont clan, isn’t it? They compelled so of the humans before they got here. Gave them orders to attack."

"Why would they do that?" the witch asked, playing innocent, but from her body language, I could tell that she was enjoying this. "You don’t seem hurt. If the Veymont clan ca after you, then surely you would be sporting an injury or two, but yet you look perfectly fine."

"That’s because their real target was Isabella."

"So you just stood and watched her get taken. Was she really so weak that she wouldn’t put up a fight?"

What the witch was saying was true, but if it was her mother, then Isabella wouldn’t have fought back and would go with her willingly. Isabella could handle herself, plus I promised to let her handle things with her mother without intervening. That wasn’t the real reason I summoned this witch.

"Don’t tell you called here to ask about your lover going missing," she mocked.

"No, I just want to inform you that I will be going after the Moth Queen."

"When?"

"Today. I’ll be leaving in a few hours. I’ll be back with her head in a few days, then I’ll have you take to Purgatory."

She smiled, satisfied.

"I see, so you’re done stalling. I was beginning to think you were really a coward. I’ll make sure the Veymont clan knows of this, since this is the only reason you’re telling this, isn’t it? You don’t want any more attacks on your pack. It’s a young pack; they can’t surely handle vampires, so you’re doing your part to protect them. How noble of you."

"I’ve said all I needed; you can go now."

"It’s good to see you. I hope we et again," she humd as she disintegrated into thin air.

Sigh.

I need to prepare to leave right away. I sat in my office contemplating my next move when suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

"Co in."

The door slowly creaked open, and soon Selthia stepped in. For so reason, she looked in distress.

"What happened?" I questioned, feeling an ominous feeling rise in my chest.

"We need to talk, darling."

...

After my talk with Selthia, I felt as if everything was spiraling out of control. What she told was going to complicate things. After she left, I summoned Eira and told her I would need her to handle things for a few days.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, looking at worriedly. "You seem anxious. Don’t let what happened with those humans bother you too much. It was my oversight, and I’ll face whatever punishnt you’ll give ."

"Don’t worry about it. It was also my oversight. I never thought about any of the humans being compelled by vampires. Anyway, I’ll be leaving tonight, so I’m leaving you to explain things to my pack; co up with an excuse for ."

"Yes, my alpha. I’ll make sure that things stay in order while you’re gone."

"Thank you, Eira. I’m trusting you."

I rested my hand on her head and gave her a smile before leaving the office. I was heading back to my room. I needed to pack a few things before I left. Since Selthia and Isabella wouldn’t be joining us, then it ant it was just Sylvie and Kumo coming along with .

I opened the door to my room and imdiately I was greeted by Sylvie.

"Lee!" She smiled and hugged tightly. I stroked the back of her head slowly to comfort her.

"A lot has happened today, but I’ll need you to—"

"Lee?" Sylvie cut off. Sylvie looked at nervously. This was one of the few tis I’ve seen her this serious.

"What is it, Sylvie?" I asked, dreading what was going to co out of her mouth.

My instincts told it was sothing important, and with everything that happened today, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"Lee," Sylvie whispered my na softly, her voice sounding like a lody. "We need to talk."
