In addition to the sack found at the Packhouse entrance, a dozen more of varying sizes were discovered and brought in. Ryland's brow furrowed, this was an unusual case. Whoever had done this was ruthless.
"The damage is severe," Ryland muttered, "Piecing it together will be a challenge.”
News of the incident spread like wildfire through Crescent Moon, setting the entire pack on the edge. The Pack council and elders were demanding that the culprits be found swiftly. The attack wasn’t just a mere attack, it was an open challenge to the authority of our pack, and an attempt to break the unity Ryland and his Beta Ethan had worked so hard to maintain.
Beta Ethan was the one who relayed the message of the council with a deep sigh. “Alpha Ryland, the entire pack knows your autopsy skills are the best in the regions. The Elders and the council have given you 72 hours to find the culprits and deliver justice. Everyone is hoping for a quick resolution…”Beta Ethan trailed off, giving Ryland another sympathetic look.
"Your Joining ceremony with Elara is just around the corner, and we're interrupting your preparation time. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
