Chapter 114 CARLYLE’S POV “She’s… she’s dead.” 53% 11:10 The weight of my words hung heavy in the air as Sidonnie processed the enormity of what has transpired. For a moment, silence reigned as we both came to terms with the sudden turn of events, the forest eerily quiet around US. “What…what do we do now?” Sidonnie asked in a voice barely above a whisper. My heart ached at the anguish in Sidonnie’s voice, knowing that the path ahead is fraught with uncertainty and danger. Definitely, so many things was about to unfold and it was a bit hot because Raina was a rival pack’s royal -Alpha Rex’s sister. It was no small issue. “We…we’ll deal with this as it should be.” I muttered, glancing at the body once again. I Trying the mindlink with Donald once again, it went through. I guess the whole environment has returned to its normal. Since Sidonnie began yelling and groaning in pain, I had tried calling upon him but I could reach him. I thought it was his me ntal block at first and tried to force it open, but only got the same result. Then, I realized there were external forces which I could explain playing at bay. Donald’s voice echoed in my mind, tinged with surprise at being contacted at such an early hour. “Is everything okay?” He asked. Still through the mind link, I replied. “Donald, I need you to come to our location immediately.” Donald’s response was swift, his thoughts swirling with confusion as he questioned the sudden urgency of summons. my

I’ll be there before you know it.” He said. 5 As the mind link was severed, I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. With Donald on his way, we would have an extra set of hands to help go through the aftermath of Raina’s demise. Truth to Donald’s words, he arrived at the scene, his steps faltering as he took in the sight before him. We turned to acknowledge his presence, as we braced ourselves for his reaction. “What are you two doing out here? Shouldn’t you be cuddling and having a fair share of romance in your. Donald was confused as he approached us. But his words trailed off as he caught sight of the lifeless body lying on the ground before us. Shock washed over him as he realized the seriousness of the situation at hand. “Someone…someone died? Who is it?” He couldn’t find his voice quickly. Steeling himself, Donald approached the body, his heart pounding with a bit of fear. And as he saw the face of the corpse, he expressed nothing but disbelief. A bit shaken, he stuttered. “Raina? But…how?” Turning to Sidonnie and I, Donald’s gaze was filled with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism. “Do someone care to explain what exactly happened here? Or are we just going to stand around exchanging glances?”
“Let’s get the body to the pack hospital first. A lot of things remain unknown.” I instructed and he stared at me like he wouldn’t respond until I told him what happened. “And then, I could probably help with some recap on the way.” Donnie noticed his reluctance and quickly said. those words to make him succumb. “Fine!” He sighed, left with no choice 2/5 Emergency calls only o Chapter 114 D 53% 11:10 +5 He called upon two standby guards nearest to where we were, so that they could do the carrying. Headed for the pack hospital where Raina’s body would be laid, Sidonnie began to recount all that happened to Donald, excluding the transition she went through. I guess she wanted to keep that to ourselves and I felt it was just the right thing to do. There was no need to expose her progress. Not that Donald was a bad person but I just didn’t see the need to and she probably didn’t too. Donald listened intently as Sidonnie recounted the events that led to Raina’s demise, his expression thoughtful as he processed the information. Once she finished, he offered his insights. “So many happenings in one night…” He commented. “Yes, it is.” I nodded in agreement, my gaze focused as I turned to him. “What do you make of all this, Donald?” I asked. Donald hummed in thought for a moment, his brows furrowed as he considered the pieces of the puzzle before him. “Well, let me start from here, I saw Raina leaving with Rex earlier in the evening, so I’m not sure how she ended up here. How did she pass through the pack guards?” He paused. “And what about that bottle she threw? What was it meant for? Who gave it to her? Where did she get it? Why did she suffer from the attack?”
I shook my head, with a trouble expression as I considered the implications of Raina’s actions. “I’m not sure. But you’re right, we need to investigate the contents of that bottle. And why it would gather itself and return to attack Raina…” Donnie chipped in thoughtfully. Donald’s analysis struck a chord with me, and I nodded in agreement. “You’re right, Donald. There are a lot of unanswered questions here. We’ll need to conduct a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of this.” I said. “But one thing is sure…her aim for coming here. She wanted to harm Raina.” it “Exactly! I never knew what Cant to be obsessed with unreal things.” Donald heaved a sigh as we progressed behind the guards carrying the body. 3/5 onlyO Emergency calls only C Chapter 114 053% 11:10 5 “Very dangerous.” Donnie commented and moved to my side, holding my arm tightly while I rubbed her knuckles softly, offering her a soothing smile. Soon, we got to the pack hospital and Raina’s body was kept in a special room. There were so many reasons we couldn’t treat her body in any way we would have treated a werewolf from Moon Shadow. The only thing we could do was cover her body, keeping her dignity. By now, it was about an hour to dawn which meant everyone would be awake soon. Outside the hospital, the atmosphere was tense as I, Sidonnie, and Donald gathered to discuss our next steps. The guards who accompanied us have been dismissed, leaving only the three of us to contend with the weight of the situation. “So, Carlyle, what’s the plan?” Donald asked.
I considered Donald’s question carefully, my mind racing with possibilities. “What next? I’m calling Rex to tell him, of course. We need to take care of that corpse fast and we can’t do that without his presence and knowledge.” I replied. “Calling Rex that way might not be the best idea, Carlyle. Think about the implications of involving him with such news. You know him too well, you know how he can be.” Donald offered his own perspective. My jaw tightened at the implication, but I knew Donald was right. Still, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration at the situation. “About that, none of this is our fault, Donald. Raina trespas sed into our pack territory and brought this upon herself. She shouldn’t have been here in the first place.” Donald nodded in understanding, but his expression remained grave as he pressed further. “But how do you intend to explain that to Rex? How do you expect him to react to the news of his sister’s death?” I fell silent, the weight of Donald’s words sinking in. “It won’t be easy to make him see reason, Carlyle. Especially when he just lost his sister.” Sidonnie echoed my thoughts, her voice filled with uncertainty. My shoulders sagged with resignation, realizing the truth in Donald and Sidonnie’s words. 4/5 Emergency calls only Chapter 114 “Then, what do you suggest we do?” I asked. 053% 11:10 5 Three of us stood in contemplative silence, grappling with the weight of our decision. It was Sidonnie who broke the silence, her voice steady as she gave her suggestion. “Perhaps we should send him an emergency message, requiring his immediate presence, without divulging the details of what happened.” She suggested. I considered her suggestion carefully, recognizing the potential merit in her approach. It was a risky
move, but one that could potentially spare us from the wrath of Rex’s grief-fueled anger. “It’s a gamble, but it might just work. Rex can be unpredictable at the best of times, but it’s worth a try.” With our plan decided, I turned to Donald, issuing my instructions. “Settled! In that case, Donald, I need you to have a letter sent to Rex first thing tomorrow morning. Make sure it’s urgent, so he’ll be able to make it down here the same day.” Donald nodded in understanding as he prepared to carry out my orders. 5/5This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
