Just as Queenie finished speaking, she flashed an arrogant smile and quickly instructed the driver to leave.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, I was at a complete loss for words.

I kept dialing Hughie’s number, and soon, the call connected.

“Rosaline, how’s the Alpha of the Eclipse Pack?” Hughie’s voice came through the phone.

I carefully explained how I had just used the witch’s stone and Chantcraft to detoxify Richard.

Hughie remained silent for a long moment before saying, “Your judgment is correct. When someone who has been sick for a long time suddenly experiences a drastic change in their condition, it either means they’re nearing the end of their life, or someone has interfered–making sure they never wake up.”

After hanging up, a heavy weight settled on my chest.

There weren’t many people who could get close to the Alpha of the Eclipse Pack, so whoever was behind this… was already obvious.

But why?

What was their true motive?

Just as I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang again.

I glanced at the screen–it was Caden.

Watching his name flash repeatedly, my heart skipped a beat for no reason.

With steady fingers, I pressed the answer button. “Hello, Caden.”

“Rosaline, I’m in Meldoria now.” Caden’s deep, magnetic voice came through the phone.

“Hmm? Why the sudden trip? Did something happen?” I asked, concern threading through my voice.

That night, Caden had left in a hurry.

He hadn’t even had time to explain, only leaving a note on the fridge.

Later, I asked Yale at the office, but he said everything at the Eclipse Pack’s Meldoria branch seemed normal.
