“The victim was a she-wolf, probably between twenty-three and twenty-eight years old,” Ryland said, his voice filled with exhaustion. “There are multiple claw marks throughout the body, about one hundred and eight minor wounds. But what killed her were two severe blows directly to the heart.”
He paused…
Ryland's eyes flickered all over my body as he continued, "Of all the body parts collected, two canine teeth are missing. The remaining teeth have residual traces of wolfsbane, making identification difficult."
Beta Ethan frowned as the gravity of the situation dawned on him. “This is unbelievable, Ryland. How can anyone in the pack – anyone with our blood – be capable of such cruelty? I swear by the moon, I’ll hunt them down and bring them to justice myself.”
Ryland straightened; his face filled with exhaustion as he added. “It’s not just the killing, Beta, the method of killing is similar to ancient werewolf torture techniques. Based on the condition of the wounds, whoever did this act, did it while the victim was still conscious. It's equivalent to being skinned alive during a forced transformation to your wolf."
“What?” Beta Ethan’s eyes widened with shock.
