Chapter 116
“From what you could gather?” Repeated the person on the throne, still tapping rhythmically his finger on the throne’s armrest,
Realizing that prolonging the silence was not in his favor, as it only made that person in front of him angrier by the second, the man continued to speak with more concise words.
“Salas Christian Wolf is not dead!” He said, closing his eyes as he felt small droplets of water covering his face. He was already prepared to be executed for his failure.
Hearing this, the man with platinum blond hair and cold grey eyes, finally stopped tapping hist fingers.
“Hmmm… How? I was assured that at least five bullets passed through his body.” He asked, still calm.
“Yes five bullets indeed hit him. Of this I can personally assure you!” The kneeled person quickly confirmed.
“Then?” The blond man asked.
“We do not know for sure, my king. We are still…” these were the only words that the kneeled person
could utter, before he was struck down.
Red blood spilled from his lifeless body scaring the others, but none of them moved from their
places, even though the ones near the body could clearly see that his blood was about to reach the
feet. They did not dare even flinch, in fright that they would be next.
“Is there someone else who can tell me with certainty, or are the rest of you not sure as well?” The
king asked. He was still calm, like he was not the one who killed his subject, but the red blood on the fingertips, that previously kept on tapping, were proof of his cold act.
If not for his red dyed fingers, you could not actually tell he was the one who killed the kneeled person, as he was still sitting on his throne for the entire time, or at least that was how it appeared.
Moments passed but no one dared answer his question, the next one to answer would be the next
one to die. Of course, no one wished to do so.
The
person who had just died was the highest ranked between them, even if he did not want to, he was the one who was obligated to provide the information for the cold blooded person on the throne, but the rest were the same rank

Hmmm… Well it seems I was just being a bit impatient. I should watch a little bit my temper. After all, we are still in the researching phase. Forgive me, I was getting a little ahead!” The king sighed, di He returned to tapping his fingers.
Only then did the people relax a little, although they still did not dare move from their position.
“So basically, let me know if I got this right. Crescent was actually your sister’s wolf. But, because your sister was absorbed in the womb, she was brought by Waning in your mind to share the same place, thus preventing her death.
But now with you rejecting Crescent’s mate and finding your true mate, Waning is no longer able to maintain Crescent alongside her for much longer, so the latter is once again in grave danger of

Frowning, he waited for Celia to affirm if he understood correctly, while also trying to think if there was a precedent for such a thing that could help the future queen. But he did not need to think much, for the previous queens, or at least other high ranking werewolves, to have two wolves in the same body was without a doubt an information one would never forget, especially him who taught history and general knowledge at the Academy.
Celia listened to his words and, confirming she indeed made herself understood correctly by them,
nodded her head.
“Okay, understood. About the witch who is currently trying to find a solution, will she be able handle it on her own, or is there something we can do to assist? I could at least analyze a little more Crescent’s state with the Seer, to see how she is!” Gabriel asked.
The Seer was the tool the pack doctor mostly used when healing werewolves, one of its abilities being that it could check the health of a wolf. He used the special Seer in his possession to mostly check the students‘ ranks and sub ranks. He was not a doctor, but he could at least also check the
wolf’s current condition.
“No matter what, we will do everything in our power to ensure the wolf’s safety. We will also delegate some trackers to investigate alongside the witch and the watcher teams that are on standby will join in on the search for a solution. Do not worry, I am here for you!” Salas assured her.
“Thank you for offering your help, but Clarissa is the only one who can find it! Also, if there are too many people checking, it could have the opposite effect. She now has some leads, but if others intervene, those leads could be lost!” Celia earnestly said. She was thankful for his support and trust, but she had talked more with Waning, after calming the wolf from her sorrow, and for now they could only wait.
Sąlas looked into her eyes to seek even a small sign of wavering, but he realized she indeed was not Jiglding back, and there was nothing he could do currently. Well, even if she did not need help right
