Madeline:
“Wait, what do you mean?” Ron questioned. “How could she die from a robbery like that? Do you know who attacked her p>
“No,” the alpha replied. “We could not find out. I’m sorry p>
The way the alpha spoke made it seem like nothing could be done.
“Someone died in your pack, and you cannot do anything?” Ron pressed. “You do Then how do you know it was a robbery? Was anything taken p>
know who did it?
The man only shrugged.
“My pack is going through a crisis,” he answered. “I do not have the means to start an investigation. We have to protect our borders. When we went into the house, the little savings she had were stolen, along with some other things, like a small television p>
Something about the alpha made it seem like he was trying to get rid of us.
Probably because he was a failure, and the more he was questioned, the more it confirmed that he no longer had the right to be an alpha, since he could not protect anyone in his pack.
“Anyway, I’m so sorry for your loss. I saw the news everywhere. Announcements have been made to make sure everyone avoids the mountain top and certain areas where the monster could attack. I cannot even begin to imagine how you’re feeling right now, losing a daughter and a husband at the same time. But I don’t understand why you’re still looking for the monster. They’re gone, right? Your family, ” the Alpha remarked.
As he spoke, I began to feel uncomfortable. I did not want to talk to anyone about my husband and my daughter.
It took me back to that dark time, to when they were right in front of me and then taken away.
“Thank you for letting us into your pack. We will take our leave now, ” Ron told him, stepping in when he noticed I had not responded. He nudged my elbow to pull me out of it.
I stepped away with him toward the car, and the moment I sat down, I shook my head. “Something was wrong. That Alpha knew more than he was letting on p>
I began questioning him, anger rising in me. It felt like someone was carefully removing every chance I had to get closer to my daughter and my husband.
“Yeah, I’ve heard about him. He’ll do anything for money, so maybe he’s holding information. But how do we get it out of him?” Ron questioned, pressing his lips together and scrunching his nose, clearly annoyed.
“Anyway, let’s get out of here. I’m getting anxious,” I said, fastening my seatbelt as Ron started the car.
“Can we please go to the mountain top?” I requested, already knowing what he was going to say.
“It’s a dangerous place, Madeline. Why do you want to go there?” he asked. “I understand you’re worried about Gina and Baxter, but don’t forget you have two children. You’re all they have now p>
“I just want to inspect the place,” I replied. “I want to see if there’s any evidence, any clue Baxter might have

left behind p>
Like every other time, he could not say no.
“Fine, but we will not stay until night,” he warned.
I nodded. Of course I would have to return home for my children. Still, a small idea formed in my mind
“Spill it,” Ron urged, as if he sensed it.
“The monster comes at night,” I said carefully. “What if we wait for it on the the weapons and warriors p>
He glanced at me before replying.
dattack it with all
“Madeline, what I’m about to say might hurt you, but I don’t think the monster comes out on its own. I think it’s summoned. How or by what means, we have no idea. And as for fighting it, we first need to learn how. I had warriors on the mountain top the other day, and they were terrified. They said the monster gives off such a strong aura that they couldn’t fight unless they had a reason strong enough p>
None of it made sense to me. His warriors had said this before, that their motives were not enough, that something held them back.
We continued driving toward the mountain top when Ron’s phone on the dashboard began to ring.
I anxiously lifted myself, trying to see if it was Yuvonne calling, because deep down, I was worried about my children. If it was her, I needed to know that everything was fine.
However, it was an unknown number.
Ron slowed down and grabbed the phone, putting it on speaker.
“Hello?” he answered casually.
“I have the information that you want.
The voice on the other end was heavy and thick with an accent, but it was the words that made both Ron and me turn our heads toward each other.
“Who is this?” Ron questioned immediately, slowing down before pulling over to the side of the road.
“Why don’t you come and see me? You will know who I am,” the man replied in a cocky tone.
“How do I know you’re not just wasting my time?” Ron challenged him.
I could hear my heartbeat in my head. This could be the help I had been looking for.
“Alpha Baxter was with me. Oh, sorry, I mean Baxter was with me last time,” the man continued. “So I guess you would want to come and see me. But when you do, do not forget to bring his wife. I will only speak in front of her p>
As soon as he said that, I nodded at Ron, showing him that I wanted to meet this man. Whoever he was, it sounded like he had information.

“Fine. Where are we meeting?” Ron asked.
“The mountain top,” the man finished, sending a chill through me.
