Sylvia's POV:
I charged into the crowd and tried to get my hands on the familiar figure, but lost it in a flash. There were too many people around right now. I couldn't just turn into a wolf and chase after that person in cloak, for I might injured someone by accident during the process.
Leonard and Rufus joined me in a few minutes.
"What's wrong?" Leonard seemed to have sensed from my reaction that something was wrong, so he instantly dispatched his men.
"I spotted a suspicious person. But she disappeared." I scanned the crowd quickly as I said this, but there was no sign of a woman in a black cloak.
Rufus also swept his eyes over the crowd but didn't see anyone suspicious.
"Were you mistaken?" he asked.
I shook my head. "No, I'm certain of what I saw. That person was acting dubiously. I think she is Noreen..."
"Noreen? Are you sure?" Rufus asked in a low voice.
Leonard was giving instructions to his men, so he wasn't paying attention to us. I pulled Rufus a little farther away and whispered, "The figure is exactly the same one I'd seen in the stone chamber. I'm afraid it's really Noreen."
I was confident this wasn't a hallucination. It must be another trick of Noreen's. She'd said she would wait for me in the Silver Moon Pack.
Her appearance right now was definitely not a coincidence. She must be deliberately reminding me that she was really here.
My stomach flipped with uneasiness, and I was thrown into apathy again. I didn't know what Noreen was up to, nor did I know what was waiting ahead of us.
I turned to Leonard and asked, "Have any questionable people entered the pack recently?" Alina's wedding was approaching. In order to prevent any untoward incident from occurring, all the people who entered and exited the pack needed to have their identities checked and had to have a pass.
Leonard was so positive that there was no hint of hesitation in his voice when he replied, "The entrances are heavily guarded. No suspicious person can enter. And if there was such a person, I would have known a long time ago."
I didn't respond. Before Noreen entered, the pack was absolutely safe.
But now that she had crept in, it was hard to be so sure.
