Chapter 303: The Female Alpha

Turned out that Scarlet was indeed correct. The path did lead them to the abandoned pack. Sheltered and away from the town, the territory was hidden deep within a forest. Inez could see a few council guards walking around the old territory and couldn’t help but frown when she noticed the men moving around.

"Why—"

"The council doesn’t want the land to go into the hands of the Zealots," replied Scarlet before Inez could even ask what the guards were doing there. She pointed to the only house that looked intact and new and stated, "So they sent a few guards here to live and guard the borders lest the Zealots set this place on fire again."

"They have set fire to this pack?" Inez asked with a frown.

"Yup," Scarlet responded with a pop to the ’p’. "You know how much those lunatics hate shifters. They cannot deal with the shifter territories where shifters live. But that didn’t stop them from setting fires to the territories that had been abandoned and ruined after a pack war or something of the sort. It was a classic example of fearing the strong and bullying the weak.

"So can we just walk right into the territory?" Inez questioned again. God, she felt stupid for asking these questions, but with Killian asking her to stay in the pack and not leave without a reason, she could only send Scarlet to investigate the situation and the pack that was once under Alpha Ria, as she couldn’t make so many visits in just a few days with Killian worrying over her like a mama bear.

"Not exactly." Scarlet glanced at the guards before saying to her, "I bribed one of the guards, and he arranged a little leeway for us to sneak inside and take a look around the alpha lodge. But only for a short while. Can’t let anyone catch us, or things might become troublesome for us."

things could go wrong at once. However, the burning questions within her made it nearly impossible for her to turn around and leave. She wanted to see the truth for herself. Whether the female alpha, the garage owner and his wife spoke of, was really Maria Siclair. The
