บททั้งหมดของ Lauryn: The Shunned Beta: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

As we entered the festivities, the tantalizing aroma of mouth-watering food filled the air. A long table filled with delicacies was laid out before us, and we were quickly greeted by the leader of the Blood Moon Pack, Alpha McKenzie, who welcomed us warmly. “It’s an honor to meet you, Alpha Matthew and Luna Lauryn,” he said, exuding respect.“We are equally delighted to make your acquaintance. The Ethereal Hunters are grateful for the opportunity to join you,” Alpha Matthew replied, his voice filled with appreciation.Alpha McKenzie leaned in, his expression turning serious. “In addition to tonight’s festivities, I have another reason for inviting you here. Given your past successes, I believe we can work together to strengthen our alliance while also investigating the Silver Dagger Pack.”I furrowed my brow in confusion. “Investigate? Why?”“Recently, we have discovered that the Silver Dagger Pack is deviating from the path of righteousness,” Alpha McKenzie replied gravely. “They ar

Violet quickly hopped into the shower, and after a few minutes, she emerged with a half-wet towel wrapped around her hair. She wasted no time bombarding us with her burning question, “So, how do I become a superhero? And how does the academy help you become one?”Alpha Matthew let out a sigh and handed her a plate of food, saying, “Take the biggest one, my dear. You’ll need all the energy you can get to keep up with our explanation.”“Why, is it going to be that long?” Violet asked with a hint of impatience in her voice.“It’s not going to be long, but it does require a deep understanding. Your cousins, Mila and Mali, are starting at the academy this week. Are you interested in going with them?” Alpha Matthew replied.Violet took a moment to think and then asked, “Will it be fun?”“It’s a blast, honey! You’ll get to explore the terrain, develop your fighting strategies, and take part in some really fun classes,” Alpha Matthew exclaimed. “Is it really challenging?” Violet inquired.

“I’m dead serious now,” I muttered. Alpha Matthew also chuckled mischievously. “I’m serious too because you know the egg we’re talking about is really valuable--” “Stop teasing, man. Look at your wife’s cheeks, they’re blushing like boiled shrimp,” Hannah chuckled. I never expected this afternoon to be so fun and full of laughter. “Alright, I’ll take care of it. Let me call Jake so he can deliver two crates of fresh eggs from the farm,” Alpha Matthew conceded and immediately got up to make the call. “Hannah, you always tease me about Alpha Matthew being naughty lately,” I chuckled as I watched her scoop coffee cookie dough onto parchment paper. “With the full moon coming, they must be getting restless. It’s like they have a hunger for something, like delicious grilled mutton.” “I know, sometimes it’s a little creepy,” Hannah whispered back to me. “Does Mark get rougher during this time too?” I asked, surprised by the possibility. Mark turned his head and flashed us an awkward

“What’s with their stubbornness? I can’t wrap my head around it. What on earth are they planning?” Alpha Matthew grumbled in the living room. Sighing, I approached him. “Are you still dwelling on it?” “Of course. I’m worried they have malicious intentions.” Alpha Matthew turned to me, attempting to force a smile. “Here we are, in the middle of the night, and you’re still thinking about them. Why don’t you save it for tomorrow, love?” I muttered. “Touché, my dear. But don’t you think they’re just so peculiar?” Alpha Matthew wrapped his arms around my waist and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. “Is Violet fast asleep?” “Out like a light since Mom put her to bed early before they left for Highcrown Walkers.” “I feel guilty for not reading her a bedtime story for the past two nights,

“Take a deep breath, love. I promise you we’ll find Violet. Just calm down,” Alpha Matthew tried to reassure me, but my mind was racing.“Look at these bite marks,” Jamien interjected, pointing at the wounds on the victims’ bodies. “Why are there only two holes?”“I’m not sure,” Alpha Matthew replied, studying the marks closely. “It seems like another creature was involved. We need to investigate further.”As more Warriors arrived, Charlotte came back and reported, “Alpha Matthew, everyone is here.”Alpha Matthew addressed the group, “We need to evacuate all the dead and survivors from the academy building. Lay out a long mat for the paramedics to examine them one by one. Three of you are coming with me to find Violet.”“I’ll come with you,” Jamien offered.“No, you stay here and keep an eye on the evacuation. If you see Mila or Violet, rescue them,” Alpha Matthew instructed firmly.“Alright Alpha Matthew,” Jamien nodded in understanding before quickly ushering the Warriors inside.“C
