Maya forced a smile and said, “If all of you aren't afraid, then why should we be? The Capital Guard is
handpicked from the valiant Ironthorn Army; they’re certainly not incompetent.”
Mrs. Voss said, “In that case, we'll leave the catching of infiltrators to them and continue with our prayers.”
No sooner had the guests been calmed than a man carrying a child of four or five, followed by a pregnant
woman leading a child of eight or nine, hurried over under the escort of the Capital Guard.
Someone recognized them and gasped, “Aren't they the missing lady and children from the Davidson family? I've
seen them before-what are they doing at Madison’s mansion?”
“We were kidnapped and brought here,” Cassius’s mate, Neel, said with a pale face, clearly traumatized, her
eyes still swollen.
Her legs gave way, and she knelt on the ground.

Abigail quickly helped her up. “Come, sit on the chair.”
“Thank you,” Neel said weakly. Arethusa cover to assist, and together they helped her to a chair.
“Why were you kidnapped and brought to Madison’s mansion? What's the reason?” everyone wondered, their
curiosity piqued but their tongues tied.
The older ladies present, upon seeing Cassius’s face, felt a jolt of recognition.
Since Cassius often traveled and rarely intersected with these ladies in the capital, few knew his features.

Cassius’s hair and beard were disheveled, yet he still managed a bow. “Alpha Bentley is my cousin. | was
abducted a few days ago while leaving the city and brought here. Fortunately, the Capital Guard rescued me.”
The older ladies, who knew the history, sighed softly.
Before more questions could be asked, another group arrived-this time, all women and girls, escorted by the
Capital Guard.
The stench that preceded them was overwhelming.
Two of them were incoherent and frantic, rushing to grab fruit from the long table and stuffing it into their
mouths, clearly starving.
Others were brought in and could only lie on the ground, their appearances gaunt and bloodless, indicating long-
term illness.
As the guests puzzled over the newcomers’ identities, yet another group arrived, this temitting an even
more nauseating odor, reminiscent of rotting flesh.
Sadi quickly covered her nose with a handkerchief and retreated to a corner.
The priests opened their eyes in shock at the sight of the maimed women being carried in. “Goodness me,” they
exclaimed.
Everyone present, despite their kindness, felt anger bubble up at the tragic scene.
The ladies gasped and instinctively recoiled.
Abigail covered her mouth and nose and, along with several elder ladies, stepped forward to assess the
situation.
Upon seeing the grueswounds, Abigail's face turned ashen, and she urgently cried out, “Send for help
immediately! Get these women to a hospital!”
But most people simply fled-the sight and stench were too revolting, and the scene deeply disturbing.
“Where are the wolf doctors? The wolf doctors!” someone shouted.

Her cries, laced with maniacal laughter, sent shivers down everyone's spine-a blend of terror and heartache.
Mrs. Kell bent down and grasped the woman's stick-thin hand.
“It’s over now, it’s over,” she soothed gently.
The woman's stench was overwhelming, yet Mrs. Kell seemed oblivious.
She even brushed aside the matted hair covering the woman's face and tenderly stroked her cheek. “It’s all in
the past now.”
Perhaps it had been ages since the woman had been touched so kindly or heard such a gentle voice.
