The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354

29 – Ben

Josh’s voice cut through the quiet as we walked. “The biggest discovery we’ve made is that they used magic to mask their scents from us.” I froze immediately, stopping dead in my tracks. Suddenly, I felt a shove from behind—Tommy had bumped into me.

“What the hell, man?” he snapped, pushing past me with a glare.

“Hold on, Josh,” I called out, jogging to catch up. “Did you say magic? What kind of magic?”

Josh glanced over his shoulder, his expression grim. “Yeah, they managed to hide themselves using magic, which is something we haven’t figured out yet. None of us here can wield magic, especially not illusion magic. So, that means someone else is—or was—working with them.”

I couldn’t help but let a flicker of hope creep into my voice. “You haven’t found any witches among the group?”

Josh gave me a strange look but kept moving forward without answering.

We approached a line of wolves waiting for food, their gaunt faces and hollow eyes telling stories of hunger and hardship. Nearby, another group stood in two perfect rows, like they were at a job interview. A few stern, older wolves sat at a long table, scribbling notes and asking questions that were too quiet to hear.

Tommy glanced at the scene and asked, “Are you seriously going to take all of them in?”

“If they want to stay, then yes,” Josh replied. “Some were thankful we helped, but a few prefer the nomadic life and have moved on.”

Tommy’s voice rose in disbelief. “And you just let them leave?”

I felt a surge of relief that he said it aloud.

Josh shrugged. “If they leave peacefully, then yes. Our pack operates differently because of its size. We don’t need members who don’t want to be here, but we also don’t give second chances. Once someone makes up their mind, that’s it. We don’t have the time or patience for people who can’t commit.”

He led us to a group of people who looked ready to begin training. “These folks are warriors by blood or experience but haven’t been properly trained. We’ll start with them. Many have asked to join Luna’s detail, so they’ll have some real work to do.”
