00:00Damon used his mind link to confirm Caden and Maya's location.
00:04The two stood on the side watching warriors train in a vigorous exercise.
00:09The warriors held big logs above their heads while running an obstacle course.
00:14Those who tripped or dropped the log received punishment of push-ups before continuing.
00:19Damon wondered about their guide, James' whereabouts, then spotted him among the warriors.
00:25That went fast!
00:26Caden teased as Damon joined them.
00:29Shut up, Damon growled.
00:32What's the status here?
00:33Caden gestured toward a few warriors monitoring others.
00:37Those generals will finish this session in about ten minutes.
00:41Then we can meet with them before the next session starts.
00:44Damon hummed in approval and pushed his phone into Caden's hand.
00:49Here, don't let others hear the sound.
00:53Caden tapped his Bluetooth device,
00:55connecting it with Damon's phone.
00:58Maya huddled closer to Caden.
01:00Her good werewolf hearing allowed her to hear the sounds that were flowing into Caden's ear.
01:07The two are stunned, looking at the video.
01:11When did you take this?
01:13Maya asked Damon.
01:16Just now.
01:17Damon responded coolly.
01:20Caden's eyebrows shoot up.
01:23That was quick.
01:24Normally you take at least an hour.
01:27Damon made a sour face and continued through the mind blink.
01:31I didn't go beyond what you saw.
01:35Caden's eyebrows were so high that they nearly reached his hairline.
01:41You didn't go beyond this?
01:43She was willing?
01:44What happened?
01:47Damon was not in the mood to explain.
01:50Actually, even he was not sure how to explain it.
01:55He had the perfect opportunity to take advantage of her, but something seemed off, and that something was more than
02:04just his hurt ego and desire to punish her.
02:08Let's focus on what's important, Damon reminded Caden and Maya.
02:13With this, we got enough to scandalize Marcy, but I want proof that she fooled around with another guy, or
02:20she can spin it how this was only for me.
02:24Caden and Maya nodded in understanding.
02:29What do we have so far? Damon asked, and after two seconds of silence, he spoke again.
02:36Please, tell me we have something.
02:39Ever since he inhaled that sweet scent of freesia, Damon felt restless in the red moon pack and wanted to
02:45end this farce quickly.
02:47We just need to keep trying.
02:50Finally, Caden responded.
02:52Marcy acted carefully. As much as word spread that she got handsy with several guys, no photos or videos exist.
03:00Damon exhaled in frustration.
03:02Find those guys. Someone kept a souvenir.
03:06I'm on it.
03:08Caden assured him before adding, but it will take longer.
03:12Maya took her turn.
03:14The staff talks about how their Alpha and Luna act strict, but nothing we can use to smear them publicly
03:20exists.
03:21It's all minor offenses.
03:24Damon thought this seemed odd.
03:26What about punishments?
03:28Anything on Marcy?
03:30Maya shook her head.
03:32They make them come to the training ground, and at most, they end up with sore muscles.
03:37It doesn't make sense.
03:39Damon pressed.
03:41Last night, I saw a girl in the kitchen looking for food.
03:44She had bruises with the purple handprint on her neck.
03:47I feel confident that Marcy did it.
03:51We should talk to that girl, Maya suggested.
03:55Caden shook his head.
03:56He didn't think that would work.
03:58They'll probably keep that girl out of sight, at least while guests visit.
04:02And even if we find her, she might not talk against Marcy out of fear of getting punished again.
04:09We can offer her refuge, Maya offered.
04:13So many werewolves come to our pack.
04:15One more or less won't make a difference.
04:18She looked at Damon, who wore an unreadable expression.
04:22Let me talk to her.
04:23What's her name?
04:24Where can I find her?
04:26Damon shook his head.
04:27I don't know.
04:28We didn't get that far.
04:30I just saw that she looked scared and beaten, then she ran away.
04:33He didn't want to mention losing her scent.
04:37That brought great shame for any werewolves.
04:40Considering your mood lately, you probably scared her away.
04:43Caden said matter-of-factly.
04:46Maya giggled.
04:47Does this version of Damon seem grumpier than normal grumpy Damon?
04:52She turned to Damon.
04:54Don't tell me that Marcy gets to you.
04:57I can name right now at least five women who acted more excessive in coming on to you.
05:03Damon rubbed his face forcibly.
05:05I'm sick of this shit and want to finish it.
05:07Let's wrap this up and head home.
05:09Damon stood up and Caden said,
05:11We're supposed to meet generals in ten minutes.
05:14I'll be back then.
05:16Damon said and walked away, leaving puzzled Caden and Maya behind.
05:21What got into him?
05:23Maya asked Caden through their mind link after ensuring she blocked Damon from eavesdropping.
05:28Caden shrugged.
05:29I have no idea.
05:31Will you try to find that girl?
05:33Maya made a face.
05:35I don't have much to go on.
05:38Omega's here act extremely submissive toward Alpha Edward, and it won't be easy to make any of them talk against
05:44him.
05:45I can't go around asking if anyone saw a girl with bruises.
05:49It will only attract attention to us.
05:51Caden agreed with Maya.
05:54Asking random questions might bring trouble their way.
05:57They came here on a friendly visit that should end with two packs creating an alliance through marriage.
06:03And if caught snooping around, it might backfire big time.
06:07As promised, Damon returned in time to meet the generals.
06:11After that, he went to roam the place hoping to pick up the sweet citrusy scent of Frisia.
06:17Damon knew that as a guest, he couldn't go anywhere he wanted.
06:20So he asked Alpha Edward to assign him an escort.
06:23Can Marcy accompany you?
06:26Alpha Edward asked.
06:28He obviously wanted to increase the time that Damon and Marcy spent together.
06:32He immediately contacted Marcy through the mind link.
06:35And after a brief pause, he said,
06:36Oh, sorry, she's busy right now.
06:41Can you wait a little bit?
06:43Damon guessed that Marcy sulked after he left her hanging in his room.
06:47That made him feel good.
06:50Damon didn't care who accompanied him.
06:53He had no clear goal in mind.
06:54And as long as that person didn't get in his way, it seemed fine.
06:59I'd like to start now if it's okay with you.
07:01You can tell Marcy to join me whenever she's ready.
07:05Alpha Edward wondered why Damon seemed in a rush, but he didn't question it.
07:11Damon wanted to walk around.
07:13And he even acted considerate enough to ask for someone to escort him.
07:17It took Alpha Edward two seconds to find his next candidate.
07:21A person who knew what went on and wouldn't embarrass him.
07:26Nora waited for Damon in front of the study with a big smile on her face.
07:30Alpha Edward asked me to escort you and to answer any questions you might have.
07:36Damon hummed in understanding.
07:39Take me to where Omega stay.
07:42Sure.
07:43Damon eyed Nora.
07:45If she was surprised by this demand, she didn't show it.
07:49Damon observed the two-story high building.
07:51The bottom floor had a kitchen, a common area that doubled as a lounge and dining room, and four bedrooms.
07:58The upper floor had ten bedrooms.
08:01Based on the information they received about the Red Moon pack, each room housed six to eight people.
08:07So Damon estimated about 100 people in each building.
08:11Nora didn't understand why Damon asked to visit this place.
08:14But other than walking through the hallways, he didn't stop.
08:18Do you want to see inside rooms?
08:20Damon refused.
08:22That's not necessary.
08:24Is this the only building for Omegas?
08:26No.
08:27There are three more.
08:29Nora responded.
08:30I want to visit them.
08:32Three buildings later, Damon lost hope that he would find Talia.
08:37Not a single whiff of Frisia appeared, no matter how much he searched.
08:42You and I were also seen in the hallways.
08:42I was walking in the hallways.
08:42You told us that that it was theyard hallways.
08:42This is what the city is built in.
08:42I was not sure.
08:42So in every city hallways, the hallways, the hallways.
