Chapter 295: Misplaced Worry Giselle's POV

The panic that had been a performance just moments ago twisted into something real, sharp and icy, sinking its claws deep into my chest.

My breath caught in my throat, and I felt my control slipping away. The shock that Hazel was missing struck me like a physical blow, making my head spin and my vision blur.

This wasn't supposed to happen. Not Hazel. Not my daughter.

The faces around me blurred as I staggered backward, the weight of the situation pressing down on me like a physical force.

The whispers and murmurs of the crowd became a distant hum, overshadowed by the pounding of my heart in my ears.

Through the haze of panic, I saw movement at the edge of the clearing. Killian and Damien had finally arrived.

Their expressions were grim and alert as they walked through the crowd, scanning the faces of their pack members for signs of distress.

Killian stepped forward, his presence commanding immediate attention. He raised a hand to signal for silence, and the murmur of anxious conversations gradually faded.

"Everyone, please listen," he called out, his voice steady but filled with urgency. "I want to apologize for the confusion and fear that the rogue attack has caused. We are aware of the situation, and I assure you, we have everything under control."

A wave of relief washed over the crowd, but apprehension lingered in the air.

Killian continued, his tone firm. "Our warriors are ready to protect everyone and to fight the rogues. We will not let the rogues harm anyone here. You are safe within these grounds."

At his side, Damien stepped forward, his demeanor equally reassuring.
