Crystal's POV:
After guiding the soldiers to the cave where Rufus was, I returned to the Cherry Bay Pack. I slipped into a hunter's house in the suburbs and stole some clothes. After I put them on, I made my way to the city to check the current situation.
Two more guards were stationed at the city gate. They treated me more strictly than when I'd come here during the day. They wanted to see something that could prove my identity.
I had left my ID card in my coat, which was now at the cave.
Since I couldn't produce it, I gave the guard an awkward smile and said, "Sorry, I forgot to carry it with me."
Then I turned around and walked away, heading in the direction of the back entrance of the city. There was a crack on the wall I had discovered during my daytime investigation. It could prove to be useful now.
It was quite early in the morning. The city was still brightly lit, and the streets were filled with patrolling soldiers. It looked like something had really occurred this time.
I found a phone booth and dialed Laura's number.
She answered quickly and said in an agitated voice when she realized it was me, "You have finally called me. How is the situation now? Where is Rufus? I received information that the Alpha of the Cherry Bay Pack is dead." "The Alpha is indeed dead. The vampires murdered him. They also intercepted Rufus and his men. Rufus was injured and fell unconscious. He will be brought back to the imperial capital shortly," I reported concisely to Laura. She exclaimed in anguish when she heard that her son was injured.
"Where did Rufus get hurt? Is his injury serious?"
I remained quiet for a while before answering in a grave voice, "Yes, it's serious. He hasn't woken up yet. I don't have all the details of the situation yet. When I found him, he was already doing poorly. Fortunately, as his mate, I could at least help heal his wounds, ensuring his condition didn't decline. However, his exact state is yet to be determined. He will have to undergo a thorough examination after returning home. The soldiers must have found him by now."
