Chapter 391: The face behind the fear...

Lyla

Ramsey and I were still curled up together on the bed; our conversation had shifted from Hollow Kin and everything else.

We were talking about our future, our children, what we should do, the policies to implement, and random conversations. Why Ramsey was doing everything in his power to turn me on was also a topic of discussion.

Since I was still recovering, we couldn’t follow through with anything. Just as it seemed we dozed off, an urgent knock on the door woke us up. Before either of us could respond, the door burst open and Elias barged in, looking like he was being chased.

"Alpha Ramsey..." he started saying, but as soon as he saw me, he lowered his head, staring at the ground. "Luna Lyla... I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’d be here."

"This better be good, Elias," Ramsey grunted, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "What now?"

"Sorry for the intrusion," he panted, waving his phone frantically at Ramsey. "But you need to see this. Now."

Ramsey rose from the bed and went to where Elias stood, taking the phone from him. I watched his expression grow grim as he viewed whatever video Elias had shown him. After a few minutes, he looked up.

"What is it?" I asked, suddenly alert.

Without saying a word, Ramsey walked over and handed me the phone.

I took the phone. A video was playing. It was a live broadcast one hour ago by an account called @SheWhoKnows.

The video showed a young woman, maybe my age or even younger, with auburn hair, standing at what was clearly a crime scene. Bodies were visible in the background, and her voice was filled with outrage as she spoke directly to the camera.

"This is Dr. Delia Pier, and I’m here at Pine Grove Park, where seven more victims have been found. The authorities keep telling us they’re handling this, but fifty-four people are dead, and seven more died today. Still, no one has any answers."

"This is no longer just a myth," her voice was trembling now. "Werewolves are real, and we need to ask ourselves, who’s next? Because when they come for one, they come for all."

Her caption was worse:

Creatures beyond our comprehension are hunting us. Wake up before it’s too late. #WerewolfTruth
