Chapter 31
Linda’s eyes widened as she saw the state of her house. Glass shattered on the snowy ground,
furniture and house decorations all scattered about. She had gotten an eerie vibe even before she
reached the entrance and when she was outside, she already caught a foreign scent which made her C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
feel more on edge. Now inside her home, she observed the disastrous state of the place.
“Roxanne! Are you there?!”She called out.
No response came.
Of course she expected that. It was pointless to call for her after seeing the devastation that
occurred, but she still did so out of reflex.
“Something was here…” Linda muttered as she smelled the air in the small space.
Suddenly, her eyes darted to her right and focused on the wall. That was where she saw them.
Claw Marks!
“Of course… So they’ve come for her. But why? Why now? Who would do this?” Linda’s thoughts
overlapped.
However, that wasn’t the most important thing to do at the moment. First of all, she had to inform
Melissa.
“
“Hello Melissa, it’s about Roxanne. She’s gone!” Linda said as she came out of her house in a
hurry.
“What? What the hell is that girl thinking?!” Melissa said with an angered tone.
“That’s not it Melissa! She didn’t leave on her own… They’ve come for her!” Linda said urgently,
without mincing words.
“W-What? But we entered into a non aggression pact, so why?” Melissa’s voice came through,
with disbelief and anxiety clear from her tone.
“Hell if I know!” Linda said.
“B-But are you sure mom?” Melissa asked with a little doubt.
“I saw Claw Marks, Melissa. I’m sure. Besides, my nose hasn’t stopped working even in old age.
This scent in the air, it’s definitely not just Roxanne’s. There was another one here, a man… “
“Besides, what else do you think could have done this if not them?” Linda added.
“O-Okay. So what can I do?” Melissa said, calming herself.
“I can still flow the trace since not much time has passed, so let’s meet up at the Oregon Woods
Rockwood border. We’ll go in from there.” Linda said.
“H-Hold on… Rockwood? Isn’t that the pack of the current Wolf King? Are we about to pick a fight
with the most powerful werewolf in the region?”
“They picked a fight first. Besides, from the scent I’m picking the source is definitely a Rockwood.”
“I-I understand. I’ll be leaving now. See you soon, be careful” Melissa said.
“Who do you think you’re speaking to? You too!” Linda said with a wry smile before cutting off the
call.
“Just hand on tight Roxanne. We’re coming for you!” Linda said with her eyes glowing blue.
She gritted her teeth and steadied herself. Suddenly, she took to her feet and dashed away from
her house with inhuman speed, cutting across the trees and dried bushes as she went toward her
destination.
