Crystal's POV:
My heart skipped a beat. My eyes widened with surprise. I couldn't believe that something had happened to Rufus.
"What happened? How did you lose contact with him?" I grabbed Laura's hand and asked in a frantic voice.
"I don't exactly know what happened. The news only reported that Rufus is missing and we haven't been able to establish contact with him by any means." Laura's face was drawn. She was so agitated that she didn't know what to do.
I guided her into the palace and said in a soothing voice, "Don't worry. I'll go and get Rufus back."
"How can I let you go there? We can't lose you as well." Laura disagreed with me, her face shining with hesitation.
"I have to. I can't just stay in the imperial palace and do nothing when Rufus is in danger." I stood my ground and insisted on going there. Sitting next to Laura, I did my best to persuade her. "If the vampires have infiltrated the werewolf race, I can figure out a way to find a quick solution. After all, I have dealt with these vampires for five years at the border, and I know them well."
After contemplating for a while, Laura gave in. "Okay. But this ban Rufus has placed on you will be a problem. No one will allow you to leave the imperial capital without his express order."
"That's easy to work around. Help me fake my identity, so I can leave the imperial capital. Then find someone else to take my place and stay here." Although this plan was a little cumbersome, it was the only way I would be able to leave this place. With Laura's help, it would be easy to find someone to impersonate me without being discovered.
"Okay. But you must stay in touch with me when you get there. Call for back up if things get hairy." Laura repeatedly urged me to be careful before letting me go.
With her help, I managed to successfully leave the imperial capital and soon reached my destination.
The Cherry Bay Pack was a small pack just a little distance from the imperial capital. Unlike the other packs that had advanced technology, this pack still retained primitive living habits. They dressed in traditional beast hide clothes and feather caps, and they liked to display their wolf form.
Wolves of varying colors could be spotted everywhere on the street. These werewolves liked to adorn their wolf forms. They either wore gemstones on their foreheads, or agate necklaces on their necks. The more lavishly they were bedecked, the wealthier they were.
I pulled down the brim of my cap over my eyes, pretending to be a tourist. After taking a stroll around their center square, a feeling of strangeness rose in me. It was too peaceful here, as if nothing had occurred. If an attack had taken place here, it would be impossible that so many people were still thronging the streets. Moreover, the biggest anomaly was that the royal army was missing, and the army of this pack should have deployed soldiers to patrol.
But they hadn't. Only two soldiers guarded the city gate.
"Miss, would you like to buy some flowers?" a street vendor asked me warmly.
I accepted the flowers and handed two coins to the vendor. In a nonchalant voice, I asked, "Has there been anything strange going on in the city lately?"
The vendor thought for a while and replied,

"Nothing serious has happened. But our Alpha often leads the troops out of the city and stays away for a few days, I heard that a group of pirates came from the south and robbed several aristocrats who had gone out for a cruise trip to the sea."

I frowned. "Did they catch the pirates?"
"I guess so. As the Alpha has returned, I believe they have captured the pirates."
