Chapter 154

Alpha Rick tried not to make a face as he lifted the body that had gone rather stiff and placed it directly on the table, stumbling a little on his way to the table and almost bumping the head into the corner of the table.

He then placed the body on the table and I turned my eyes away, for it was stark naked. The man did not weigh much, but his body looked stiff as a board.

Again, a strong scent of disinfectants and medicines hit my nostrils, and I tried to not retch by clutching the side of the table hard, letting my nails dig into the wood.

Some part of the wood chipped off as I tried to fight the nausea building up inside of me. The smell was not that big of a deal, but inspecting a living being who died with a cool face was not something I had ever done.

Callahan, meanwhile, walked around the table, carefully inspecting the body as if he had been doing this all his life.

He probably had. I recalled his retelling of the past where he would be guilt ridden of all the dead bodies piling up during the war.

I did not dare go too close immediately, but from here I could see there were no visible marks on the body.

“Name of this man?” Callahan asked, while continuing to stare at the

corpse.

“Mark. He was one of the low rank pack members. He and his group of friends were known to drink a lot.”

“All of them are your pack members?” Another question.

“Yes, my.King”

Callahan nodded and then looked at me.

“What does that mean?”

I was surprised to be asked that question and fumbled for a response.

“Uh, maybe these men had irked the Rogue King or his men somehow.”

Callahan shook his head.

“Nope. Try again.”

I nervously stared at the corpse and tried to come up with a feasible
