Chapter 20 | Smothered Mate

I hurriedly peeked a little through the windows, the rain had stopped, and the sun already set. The townspeople were all standing on the street, asking the nearest Epsilon about the current status of the kingdom. Wolves with Gammas were now walking down the street, sweeping the area.

"We need to find that bloodhound and kill it before it attacks again," a gamma says, his voice filled with determination.

I couldn't bring myself to cry with the loss of my parents. I'm sure they're still alive since my bond is weakened, I still have someone to attach to.
