Chapter 26 Christmas Eve

　　Talon's POV

　　Our investigation into the Purple Moon Pack is in full swing, and the deeper we delve into it, the more we sense that Alpha Shaco is rather enigmatic.

　　These days, my sole focus lies in uncovering the truth behind the recent Caitlyn incident, but invisibly, I perpetually sense an insurmountable barrier obstructing my progress.

　　"Alpha, last night, we apprehended a few suspicious werewolves on the pack's outskirts."

　　Just as despondency was setting in, there was an abrupt, sharp knock on the door. I swung the door open to find Braum standing there. Braum, Bard's brother, had taken Bard's place as my closest guard after Bard fell into a coma.

　　"Are they from the Purple Moon Pack?"

　　"I believe so. Alpha Shaco isn't aware of this yet; they must be returning from somewhere else."

　　Braum stood in the doorway, his face tense, and a faint hint of blood in the air.

　　"Let me see."

　　Braum nodded, then turned and led the way.
