175 More Truths … Ramsey When Seth and I arrived at the festival grounds , our breaths were heavy , and our muscles were taut with anticipation .


    The path leading here had been eerily quiet , except for the distant hum of the festivals .


    Overhead , the harvest moon hung low .


    It was half now … , but very soon , it would be full .


    The festival was in full swing now .


    Laughs echoed through the night sky as families gathered around the towering bonfire at the centre of the grounds .


    Children ran in circles , their shrieks of joy piercing the air , and couples danced to the rhythm of the soft tune ying in the background .


    No one was running away from being attacked , neither were they shouting like they had been a few minutes ago .


    If anything , the noise I had heard was from a group of preteens ying in a corner .


    Everything was fine .


    I dont understand , I muttered , running a hand through my hair as I scanned the crowd , still trying to see if they were distressed or if this was part of some trick .


    This doesnt make sense , I muttered again .


    Didnt you hear when she said she saw some formless creatures attacking people ? Or was the mistake on my side ? I heard her clearly , I swear or did she say something else , Seth ? Seth adjusted the ceremonial dagger strapped to his waist as he sheathed it again , his brows were furrowed too .


    I could tell he was as surprised as I was .


    I dont know , Alpha .


    I heard Cassidy say people were being attacked and then the shouts and all and also something about the attack .


    being her fault .


    But theres no sign of panic , nomotion .


    If something happened , youd think wed see it by now I nodded , listeless still looking around .


    Somethings not right , Seth .


    I dont know what to make of all of these .


    I just know that Cassidy sounded so certain .


    Shes not that kind of person too .


    She wouldnt resort to ying games like this , especially at this time .


    Plus I know the kind of person she is .


    Several pack members passing stopped to greet me with warm smiles and respectful bows , their eyes glowing either with admiration or pride as they stared at me but most of them were from White Moon Pack .


    Since it was just the Alphas from other packs that we had invited , I decided to invite everyone from my pack to make my pack to make up for the scanty crowd we had .


    I nodded absent mindedly as I turned to walk away .


    Suddenly , Lennys voice called out .


    When I turned , I saw him running towards me together with three gammas .


    He had a surprised .


    expression on his face as he came to me .


    Alpha , I came as soon as I could .


    But … he stopped and looked around .


    Everything seems normal .


    Your message was so urgent and we also heard screams too .


    I didnt expect that it would be this 175 More Truths … My thoughts exactly .


    Cassidy ran into my room , a few minutes ago and said they were being attacked .


    Something about formless creatures doing the attacks but when we got here there was nothing except people just having the best time of their lives and I just checked , is it possible to get CCTV footage from minutes ago from the security department ? Im sure theres an exnation for this .


    I already did that , Lenny replied .


    Where is Cassidy ? And Miss L ? One of the Gammas who hade with Lenny was bending now , sniffing something on the ground .


    Gammas are known for their excellent tracking skills and their abilities to tell almost any creature apart using their smell or anything at all .


    All they needed was just something tiny from the creature and they would be able to identify it .


    No strange scents .


    No signs of struggle and everything seems normal .


    Maybe too normal , Lenny muttered .


    Alpha , where is Cassidy and Miss L ? I saw her a few .


    hours ago and she mentioned helping the priestesses to prepare for the festival .


    Do you know if shes done ? She was with me when Cassidy came … Lenny immediately , wiggled his eyebrow as if to question my motive but I shook my head .


    She came for something else entirely .


    She sought me first to tell me something when Cassidy came .


    And you left both of them together ? Lenny asked , staring at me as if I was a baby .


    I froze as it dawned on me .


    Cassidy and L , together in one room ? Why didnt I think of it ? Without another word , I turned and started hurrying towards the pack house .


    I heard Seth tell the Gammas to stay behind while Lenny followed after me .


    In a few strides , I reached the pack house and rushed to my room .


    My blood ran cold when the door was open .


    Rushing forward , I barged into the room and was surprised to see Cassidy lying .


    lifelessly on the floor but there was no sign of L .


    Lenny rushed at Cassidy , checking her vitals while I searched around the room .


    There was no single trace of L .


    I ran towards my closet , opening the drawers.


    I was frantic .


    I could feel Lax , panting with anxiety as if something had just happened too .


    I went around checking the bathroom , at the corners and at every other ce that I felt someone could hide but L wasnt there .


    I was looking for anything .


    Could it be that whatever Cassidy has seen , seeded in tricking me away from the room before attacking both Cassidy and L ? Did it also take her ? What are you doing ? Lennys voice called out to me .


    When I looked up , he was at the entrance of my closet looking at me .


    He had a quiet expression on his face .


    Im trying to find her , I responded automatically , closing the drawer .


    Seriously / Lenny scoffed .


    Even if she can fit into your drawer , I dont think she would be bold enough to hide there besides , her scent is everywhere but here .


    I know youre panicking … 175 More Truths I am not ! I retorted , ring at him .


    Im just worried .


    Fine , youre just worried but you cannot show that you are worried .


    Your grandfather is heading here .


    I just got a mindlink from Seth and it doesnt look good .


    Listen , I also asked some warriors to take Cassidy to the pack hospital .


    Her vitals are fine but you cannot mention L .


    Itll be suspicious .


    Well , I should do something , go find her or something … I murmured .


    Im tired of … The words were barely out of my mouth when the door of my room was pushed open and my grandfather stalked in shaking with anger .


    Why are you still here ? Here ? I stared at him , confused at what he was raving about .


    I dont understand .


    I just received an intelligence report that theres a two tailed wolf in the pack house .


    An Omega rushed to tell me .


    It attacked , Cassidy … Cassidy ? my eyes widened with more surprise .


    She didnt look like someone that was attacked by a werewolf .


    More than anything , she seemed to have fainted and we already had her taken to the pack hospital .


    And the two tailed wolf ? My grandfather bristled , peering at his watch with impatience .


    Its almost time before the full moones out , if it does with that thing on the prowl then we might as well seek mercy in the hands of those Feral wolves .


    No , Pop … I shook my head .


    If its the same two tailed I saw then itse to save us … You know the werewolf ? My grandfather stopped me , his tone was filled with disappointment as if I hadmitted a heinous crime .


    Youve been in contact with it and you let it go ? I shrugged .


    Yes .


    A few days ago , our surveince caught her fighting and killing a lot of Ferals on our behalf .


    Its not dangerous , Pop .


    I saw it .


    I know … In a sh , my grandfather covered the distance between us andnded a p on my cheek .


    He was vibrating with pure , intense rage and hatred , such that I had never seen before .


    I didnt even think he was capable of that sort of violence to me more than anyone .


    Its not dangerous ? he shouted Do you know what it did ? I lost everything because of it .


    I lost my son my perfect son , right here in this packhouse and you have the guts to sit there and tell me its not dangerous ? Elder Eldric , Lenny came to stand in between us , I think you should walk away , youre too angry to hold this conversation .


    Theyve been dead for years , Pop , I gritted my teeth , meeting his gaze coolly Its time you get over it and ept it and they died of a rogue attack .


    You cannot me it … He moved forward , probably to hit me again but thankfully Lenny intercepted it .


    You foolish child ! My grandfather shouted .


    His voice was thundering through the room now .


    Your father and mother were murdered in their sleep by a two tailed wolf they had rescued from execution .


    They took pity on it and brought it here , nursed it back to life and what did they
