Chapter 77: A Taming of Two Kinds

Ovelia's POV

I turned my attention to the bandits as Ace, Philip, Kai, and the Silverhowl troops left with the green-and-black-haired witch toward the big cage. They were bound tightly with magic chains, some with handcuffs on their wrists, and all had duct tape over their mouths. Most were unconscious, except for Khaleed, who glared at Ann and me with a mixture of anger and fear.

Khaleed had done terrible things, but I couldn't help feeling that death wasn't the proper punishment for him. He needed to reflect on his sins and face the consequences of his actions.

I noticed something strange—each bandit had a unique mark on their chest. "Ann, why do these bandits have marks on their chests?" I asked, curiosity tugging at me.

"Those are symbols indicating they're stray werewolves," Ann explained, her voice calm but tinged with a hint of sadness.
