Chapter 199
The villagers stood in stunned silence, feeling the sting of an injustice they couldn’t fathom.
They hadn’t done a thing.
The chief had heard the creature before them, a Werewolf, no less, had been denied some mystical title because of someone’s blunder, and he’d called the culprit an absolute fool, nearly fainting in disbelief.
“My lord, who are you referring to? Who’s this person?” he asked, despite having a sneaking suspicion of the guilty party.
It was likely the descendant of the hunter who once brought wealth to their little hamlet.

As the accusation sank in, Aleck vaguely remembered something absurd he’d once said, something he’d dismissed as a drunken dream.
He’d never connected it to the odd occurrences plaguing the village.
If only he’d known…
