A lone tear escaped Wylder’s eyes when he recalled her words: ‘I’m ready to die with you, but I swear to the Moon Goddess that I won’t leave you alone.’

When he was finally out of Morawali Forest, he tried to use his wizard power, and it worked. He had been so happy about his powers before. Using his wind power, he reached his pack within a couple of minutes, like a heavy storm.

"Lee…" He smiled weakly when he saw her in the pack hospital with a pup barely one-year-old or even less than that in her arms, along with his mother. Looking at her, I felt like a light in my darkness. Liara gave her son to Eden and rushed her to do her doctor's duty.

Liara’s green eyes blazed blue when she placed her hand on Arabella, healing her internally while taking her to her room while Wylder grabbed an extra pair of shorts that the staff of the hospital brought for him. Wearing it, he rushed into the room to which Arabella was taken.

He silently watched her get treated once Liara was done healing her. He kept blaming himself for everything, so he dared not go near her.

He was just glued to one place.

"Tell me that she is perfectly fine," Wylder asked after an hour.

Liara sighed before shaking her head. "I couldn’t heal her one ankle. It was damaged before repair, and it looks like this was not the first time her ankle was damaged. Someone has broken it to the extent that

Wylder didn’t care to listen to what she was saying as her words kept repeating in his mind, 'This wasn’t the first time her ankle was damaged.'

He had no idea what exactly they did to her, but they would pay for it.

He left the room immediately. The night was with him on this. They wouldn’t spare anyone who had hurt Arabella.

‘Zahir, what's the update?' He asked as he wasn’t in a position to ask that earlier.

‘Everyone disappeared, Alpha when we reached there. We would feel a heavy blanket of darkness; all the trees were dead, and that place was more like dead land than green land. I didn’t inform you before because...'

‘It’s fine. I know who they are and where I will be able to find them.' Wylder spoke, cutting him off in between.

‘That’s why I thought. That’s why the moment I reached back to pack, I dropped a mail at Werewolf King and Queen asking for permission to attack The Nightfall Pride and explained everything to him.’

Wylder mentally praised Zahir, who knew what he had to do in Alpha’s absence.

‘In fact, I’ve already received a reply from Queen asking for proof that those werewolves were really responsible or are under the influence of the witch that I mentioned in the previous mail.' Zahir said that Wylder felt that even the Queen was right.

Witches could control anyone’s mind, so maybe the mastermind could be a witch.

But all things were based on assumptions.

One just couldn’t attack that pack without any proof, which was right to some extent, but his mind didn’t want to take this reasonable action into consideration. He knew that if he went against her decision and did something recklessly, he might have to lose his Alpha title.

Wylder was thinking all this when he heard the ringtone of his phone, which was with Arabella earlier. He turned around and saw a cute and tiny messenger coming in his direction, holding his phone. He was taking his baby steps and coming towards him at an extremely slow speed.

Liara’s pup.

He looked around, looking for his messenger’s mother, but she wasn’t there; it was Arya, who was watching him from afar. So she brought him here.

Wylder’s phone stopped ringing, and along with that, Liara’s pup also stopped walking and looked at the phone.

"Give the phone to me, pup. I will call that person back." Wylder spoke and signaled for him to come towards him. He was surprised when the little kid understood him and started walking again. Wylder’s phone started ringing again. Griffin halted and looked at the phone. He swiped it and placed it near his ear.

Wylder chuckled at his intelligence.

The little pup knew where one should keep the phone after receiving it.

"Hello Alpha Wylder, It’s me, Steve Weasely." Wylder heard what the person said on the other end. He went close to Liara’s pup to take the phone from him after knowing it was King’s call.

"Aww…. oo.. Aaa.. maa…. Paa.. daa.. ooo... ooo"

"Griffin? Is that you?"

"Oooo"

Wylder picked Griffin in his arms and softly took the phone from his hand, keeping it on the speaker, so that Griffin could also talk to Steve if he wanted to in his baby language.

"Hello, King Steve!! Yes, it’s Griffin, Lee’s pup." Wylder spoke.

"Awww.. aaa.. Aaa.." Griffin spoke, trying to hold the phone in his hand.
