Letter From HQ
Kaiser
Marked and mated. Finally, Adeline is mine. I am happy, but the problem hasn’t been solved yet. We still don’t know how she is going to stay here for good. I can’t travel interdimensionally, so I have no way to go to her world and see her whenever I want to. But what am I going to do when I miss her already? It’s been two days since her last appearance, and now that I am back in the pack house, Ryan and Misch keep asking me about my mark. Of course, I flaunted it!
“Stop asking and start updating me about what you did while I’m away,” I told them.
“Can’t you tell us what happened there before anything else?” Ryan asked curiously. “And how is my mate there?” he added.
Keisha is another matter I had to deal with. Although she’s doing fine managing our business, I couldn’t help but worry for her and Ryan. They are mates, and they should live and stay together. But that won’t happen if she stays in the city while my beta is here.
Of course, Ryan can’t leave here to stay with my little sister in the city. He’s needed in the pack, and I need him just like I need air to lead the pack, and so did Misch. The two both hold the same importance to me, so I will never let any of them leave my pack.
“I want to talk to you about the company. I can’t let Keisha continue managing it; you have to be together.” Ryan turned serious, and I knew that he wanted it too.
“But we don’t have anyone to trust to manage it,” he replied.
“How about Keisha’s friends?” Misch suggested. We look at each other and remember a few of my little sister’s friends I met before. Some of them are humans, and I also remember how proud Keisha is of them for being smart.
“Call Keisha back and let’s talk to her,” I said. “Now, as for the pack’s matters, how’s everything here?”
“The usual, rogue sightings,” Misch answered. “But there’s an incident outside our border.” My forehead creased instinctively after he said that.
“Go on,” I replied.
“There’s been killing in human territory. Many police have been going around the border searching for possible leads in their investigation,” he continued.
“And? Did they find anything?” I asked,
“No. There’s none.” It was Ryan. “And it was a human girl.”
“How did she die? Surely, they can come up with something once they find out how the girl died,” I asked.
“Yes, but there’s nothing. No traces whatsoever. Just the fact that the little girl dried to death.”
“Dried dead? Sucked her blood by a vampire?”
“There was no vampire’s mark either. Our patrol border didn’t see or feel anything. The incident has been going on for months now.” Misch answered.
“So, besides the rogues, we still have a problem to solve from an unknown enemy?” the two nodded in unison. Just as my life is getting better because of Adeline, a new incident that requires my immediate attention has arisen. I sighed heavily after realizing that life is never easy. One way or another, I had to deal with every possible threat in my pack and my kind. And the death of that young girl is surely not a case I should ignore. Even if she’s human, the fact that she had been dried dead but was not because of a vampire is something to worry about.
“As for the rogue sightings, they are getting bolder and bolder as the days go on,” Ryan said after a long silence. I looked at him confused, expecting him to continue. “If before they go here one at a time, that’s not the case anymore. The patrol often saw them in tandem.”
“I think they know about Luna. Remember the first rogue we captured and killed? Didn’t he say something about Luna?” Misch said.
I nodded my head in agreement while tapping my finger on the table. It was plausible that they knew about Adeline. We can also assume that they knew exactly who she was. But what keeps me thinking is: how? “You have been discreet about Adeline, right?”
“Of course! Everyone has been instructed not to say a word to anyone. And you know every pack member; they are very loyal and would never dare to disobey direct orders.” Misch quickly answered.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
And I believe him. Everyone in the pack wants nothing but their safety. And I was able to provide them with the help of Ryan, Misch, and the other ranking officials. My father and grandfather made sure to instill in everyone’s mind and heart to always follow orders, and I’m glad that we managed to bring that up until now.
Still, the threat to my mate is just around the corner. There’s no way that I am going to let anything happen to her. “Make sure to coordinate with the police to solve the girl’s case as soon as possible.” I said, “As for the rogues, let’s try our best to capture them alive for questioning. I want to know how they found out about Adeline and what they want from her.”
“I’ll inform the warriors,” Misch replied.
“Ryan, call back Keisha. I want her here first thing in the morning.” My beta nodded, smiling. He really wants to be with my younger sister.
‘What do you expect? Even we want to be with Adeline.’ Kylo said, which made me smile internally.
‘Yeah, I agree. And I can’t wait for her return.’
Ryan and Misch left my office, so I looked into everyone’s report. I started with the omega’s concern. They are the ones who provide for our needs and help us replenish our energy. They are also the ones who do things we can’t do ourselves.
My attention landed on the request of our kitchen staff. It seems that we need to make an additional budget for our weekly supplies. I look at the list of our warriors and fighters, as well as the omegas who have been staying and working in the pack house; they’re growing in number, so I understand why they make such requests. So I approved it for immediate implementation.
The pack has its school up to senior high, and we try to provide everything our students need. For pack members who want to go to college, we send them to the university that the werewolf council, of which I was the head, had founded. It’s one of the projects that we administered the moment I became head. Alpha, beta, and gamma sons and daughters usually attend there. As for Keisha, she chose to go to an all-human university, and that’s fine with me. I spent the whole afternoon just checking all the pack’s needs, and I think that will do for at least 3 months.
Speaking of the werewolf council, I think I saw an envelope with its seal. I had to have a look at it just in case something was going on. And we need to conduct a meeting as well about the girl’s dead body that had been found just outside our border. We have to protect humans from our unruly kind and other supernatural beings.
Oh, here it is. I accidentally covered it with the list of our warriors. I took the letter and opened it. I squinted when I saw what the letter was about. There’s been an incident of dead bodies found in another pack’s borders. But the thing is, the family of the deceased refused to claim them because of some discrepancies in their identity. What the hell? What discrepancies are they talking about? They have their DNA, right? What’s going on?
