Although every alpha seemed pretty on edge and had a worried look, considering the situation in the Thorn Edge Pack, it just wasn’t right for them to stick around here.

After some hesitation, they had no choice but to agree.

“Alright, we’ll head back first.

Once you’ve got the investigation results for that murder case, we hope you’ll make them public.

Then we can fill in the residents.

“If it works out, we’ll definitely share it,” Caleb replied, giving a subtle nod.

With that, the meeting wrapped up early.

After the alphas took off, Caleb and I led everyone to the spot Zeke mentioned.

This was the forest behind the square.

Being so out of the way, it hardly got any attention, which meant the grass grew thicker and greener compared to other spots.

If it wasn’t for morning exercise or something urgent, hardly anyone would go through there.

That was why nobody else had come across the corpse before Zeke did this morning.

The deeper Zeke went into the forest, the more scared he got.

His body was shaking like crazy, almost convulsing with fear.

Finally, he pointed to the grass by the edge of the forest and said, “Here we are.

The corpse is over there.

You’ll see it when you move the grass in front of the old tree.

Carlos looked at us, and Caleb gave a nod.

Carlos cautiously turned his hands into wolf claws and carefully parted the grass where Zeke had pointed.

The next second, I heard a scream from the usually calm Carlos.

“Ah! Crap!” Carlos was stunned.

“Oh my God! I can swear I’ve never seen such a gruesome corpse! It’s really something else!”

Debra’s POV:

My right eyelid twitched incessantly.

Carlos’ startled cry made me feel that things were getting worse.

Zeke’s overreaction was understandable.

Sheltered within the peaceful Thorn Edge Pack, he hadn’t witnessed much of the world’s harsh realities.

A gruesome corpse was bound to terrify him.

But Carlos was different.

He’d served alongside Caleb and seen his fair share of death and violence.

He usually maintained composure during battles.

This corpse, however, clearly disturbed even him.

Caleb’s brow furrowed in concern.

He reached out, pulling me close.

“Don’t worry.

I’m here,” he murmured, his voice a soothing balm on my growing unease.

“Okay,” I said, a weak smile forming on my lips.

Needing answers, I followed Caleb deeper into the brush.

As we pushed aside the thick branches, we both gasped.

Despite my experiences, the sight sent a jolt through me.

“This…”

Caleb’s reaction was calmer.

He shielded part of the view with his hand, likely to spare me nausea.

Pregnancy made me more susceptible to it.

Ivy’s hushed voice spoke for everyone.

“Dear God, that’s.

monstrous.

No wonder Carlos was so shaken.

“No wonder indeed,” I whispered, finally comprehending his reaction.
