Chapter 133: She-wolf In The Woods.

Principal Valois looked at the two students Mr. Slade had brought in. They had just reported that a She-wolf was running wild in the woods. It sounded unbelievable, but they insisted they had proof.

"What proof?" Principal Valois asked as she leaned back in her chair. It was already past nine, almost ten, yet she had not left her office since morning. Piles of documents still covered her desk. Her body felt heavy, her spirit even heavier. Ever since the moon goddess cursed her, she had lost the power to shift like other wolves. Every full moon only reminded her of what had been taken from her, and of the sorrow she carried.

"Her scent... that’s what the students said," Mr. Slade replied, lowering himself into the chair across from her. "The last full moon, they claimed her scent lingered around the west house."

"That’s it?" Principal Valois lifted her brows, almost in disbelief. She had expected some real evidence, maybe a video, maybe a sighting, something solid. But scent? To her it sounded like a weak tale, one that could not hold against reason. "And you believe that story?"

"Why not? They know exactly what they are saying and I—"

She cut him off before he could finish. "If a She-wolf was truly near the west house, Kaito would have reported it to me. He hasn’t, which means the matter is closed. Do not bring this up again."

Mr. Slade’s shoulders sank. Disappointment clouded his face. He should have known it would be difficult to sway her, especially when the matter touched on the Alphas. He wondered if she had some hidden bond with them, or if it was fear. Was she afraid of them, or of the power their families held?
