This corpse, as Carlos had implied, was unlike anything I’d ever seen.

It was extremely horrifying.

The victim was a man, his face contorted in a mask of terror.

He’d apparently encountered something terribly frightening before dying.

The worst part? One eye was missing, likely gouged out and crushed in a struggle.

The other remained, bulging grotesquely from its socket, dried blood caked around it.

The man lay sprawled on the ground, his limbs twisted at unnatural angles, his body withered like a forgotten toy.

Most horrifying of all were two gaping wounds on his neck, far larger than human bite marks.

His entire body was eerily shrunken and desiccated, as if drained of all its lifeblood.

The scene triggered the memory of the white cat’s corpse I’d stumbled upon a few days ago.

Like this man, it had two puncture wounds on its neck.

Besides, both bodies were found in the forest bushes at night, and both victims were drained and desiccated.

Even the bite marks were identical.

Gripping my clothes, I clenched my jaw.

It was clear: this was the same culprit that killed the cat.

It was no ordinary predator.

It wasn’t a werewolf, nor a witch.

This was something entirely new to the werewolf world.

Unease gnawed at me as I looked upward.

The familiar rift in the sky hung ominously, the darkness within it deeper than usual.

The police arrived swiftly.

Their faces mirrored the grim scene before them.

Taking Caleb aside, I murmured, “Remember the cat I photographed? This body.

.

it’s eerily similar.

I think it might be the same killer.

“I noticed.

” Caleb’s expression hardened.

“If it’s the same culprit, we have a serious problem.

Debra’s POV:

T knew what Caleb meant.

When I just became the Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack, a severe crime occurred, making it seem like I was the one who cause it.

Obviously, this made the residents cautious of witches.

It must be why Zeke looked at me warily when he announced the corpse in the meeting.

It was Likely that Zeke didn’t call the police upon discovering the body because he suspected it was the work of a witch.

He was afraid that Caleb would try to cover up for me, so he revealed it in front of so many Alphas.

I found Zeke’s actions considerate because he did not promptly point fingers; he was merely cautious due to his suspicions.

If it happened again, things would be much more complicated.

The murderer was so mysterious, and we had no clues or leads to follow its tracks.

If this went on, I fear that the public would gradually lose all reason and dump all the blame on the witches.

These thoughts weighed heavily on my chest.

I heaved a sigh before turning to Caleb with a wary gaze.

“What should we do now, Caleb?”

Caleb didn’t respond.

He had his lips pursed shut in a straight line.
