Chapter 66 (a)

“Take a closer look at every part of the cabin,” I said. Calvin and James were with us and they were in the search as well.
“Here.” Freya said, holding a shirt and giving it to me. “Do you know that scent?” she asked. It was very faint and the shirt had probably been there for days. “That scent is stronger than the one in the cabin where we rescued Camila. It means that whoever owns that came there before he came here and left.”
“This shirt is small for a Lycan or wolf rogue.” Calvin said, and I agree.
“I know it must be from one of the pups they took,” my mate answered.
“What do you mean? Does Camila’s kidnapping have to do with the mastermind of the missing pups as well?” James asked, confused. “I thought someone from the palace was behind Camila’s?” he added.
“We had been thinking that since Freya smelled that scent. I’m getting a headache which is not normal for us. But the only plausible reason is that they are connected. Or whoever the traitor was in the palace was being used as well. A pawn.” I replied,
“This is not getting anywhere. When we thought we learned something from the enemy, another incident would happen that would confuse us, just like now.” Calvin said, and I agree with her. Just when we thought we were about to get into the bottom of everything, an unusual incident would occur as well as another unrelated evidence.
We were all seated in the cabin and we started to talk about what had
happened. I need to think and finish this once and for all. “We were just starting our training with the packs but we are already facing a severe problem. I don’t think that our enemy will wait for their perfect timing. I had a feeling that they were going to attack any time now.” Calvin said,
“I don’t know. but I have a feeling that they meant for us to find them. We see their hideouts almost one after the other without many guards,” said Freya. “What if that’s the case and they see us and know all our movements? It’s not far from happening since we’re here now. And whose scent I smelled? Why did I also smell it in their hideout near the palace?” she asked continuously. “What if we were actually acting according to their plan?” she added.
“Then what are we going to do?” Clay asked,
“I think we have to talk to the alphas. They are the only ones we can trust to give us an accurate and more effective solution, since it was their pups who were being taken.” James answered.
“But we need to be honest with them. We have to share with them the information we had, otherwise, they won’t be able to give better solutions.” Calvin agreed. I am the prince and future king. If I can’t handle this, how am I going to handle the entire kingdom?
“The fewer the person’s involved, the better.” I said after minutes of silence. “It is not wise to scare them, they will only panic if they find out that we were suspecting my uncle, whom I know had no idea that I had one.” I saw them nodding their heads, so I continued. “This is what I think of doing for the meantime, first we let Alec monitor the training. We, on the other hand, will continue the search for other hideouts and once we are able to discern their actual location, that’s when we’re going to plan our attack. “The Crimson Pack’s warriors are just outside the cabin,” Clay said.
“Well, letting Alpha Jake know will not be a problem. He knows the region better than us We just need to tell him to be discreet,” I replied Now, let’s go and find another hideout Calvin, tell the Crimson Pack warrior’s to mark the location on their map ” I added, and he nodded his head before he went out of the cabin. Then they started to go out as well Freya, on the other hand, is very quiet.
“Is there something wrong, baby?” I asked and she looked at me.
“Nothing. I was just thinking that everything seemed off. I wanted to know why there was the same scent here and at the cabin where Camila was held captive”
“We will find out about that. It’s the very reason why we are here.” I replied, “Let’s go and start the search again ” I added before we went out and met the others From this onwards, we have to focus on finding them, especially the one behind this The longer this takes, the more Freya is in danger I am not worried about myself or my reign, it won’t matter to me if I am going to lose her in the end. “Alright, let’s go.” I said, and we headed for another border
