The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357

31 – Ben

“We only managed to get inside the cave once. Inside, there were piles of what looked like supplies and ingredients matching the drugs we’ve discovered. Someone’s definitely using magic to hide and guard it now. And I’m convinced there are other spots being used to stash this contraband,” I explain, my voice low but urgent.

“No one’s been able to enter the cave since Elara and Ben first found it. It seems like everything’s been cleared out, but I’ve been researching magic detection. That strange ozone scent—I can’t quite place it—but the rusty smell? That’s supposed to come from a protection spell, which actually makes sense. So that odor is probably part of the illusion covering the cave. But here’s what puzzles me: why are those two distinct smells present now? That’s what I was tracking today. I followed the trail to the edge of the forest on your west side, and then it just vanished—same as every other lead I’ve uncovered.”

Ryker nodded thoughtfully. “We’ll keep an eye on it now that we know what to look for. I’ll also get our elders involved to see if they can dig up any information on magic that might help us.” His tone was calm but firm. “You all should get ready for the ceremony. Bennet is keeping Kennedy in her office with my mother’s help, so please stay in your rooms until Robin comes to get you. Ben, hang back for a moment.”

The room went quiet, all eyes locking onto me. “What?!” I blurted, surprised by the sudden command.

Ryker’s gaze hardened. “Clearly, we need to talk. This doesn’t concern anyone else. Move aside.” His words carried an unspoken power, and Jeremiah stood firm, watching us both closely.
