Chapter 46

Charlotte's POV
"Ronald!" I began to search anxiously for the familiar, tall figure. Unfortunately, however, I spotted what seemed to be some unusual movement in a grassy area ahead.
I quietly drew my dagger and crept towards the bush.
Since my steps were very light, the guys didn't seem to notice my trail.
As I slammed the dagger into a corner of the bush, a black figure screamed out in pain.
"No!" He leaped out, followed by a short, topless male.
My dagger dealt them a fatal blow, and the leader, the taller male, had died a horrible death under my dagger. I pulled the dagger out of his body, blood flowing outward along the lines of his muscles.
I watched as his body fell lifelessly to the ground. I kicked the corpse with my foot and his chest revealed a pattern that I was ten familiar with.
"This is the black totem representing the slave trade organization!" I exclaimed.
The other short man kept retreating backwards in fear, seeing the raging, unknown river behind him, and he had to stop there and keep begging me not to kill him.
"Please, beautiful lady, don't kill me, leave me alive!"
"First you tell me, are you from the slave trade organization?" I waved the dagger in front of his eyes, and he had to obediently explain everything to me.
"Yes, I am a kidnapper here. We are the ones who often wait here for women who have fallen alone and kidnap them to the slave trade organization in exchange for some money or living goods."
He cowered and looked at me, "I also didn't expect that you guys, who obviously look so soft, would be able to kill my accomplice in one go. You guys are simply amazing!"
I didn't feel any praise from him, because he was talking about facts that I already knew well.
"Where do you usually buy the kidnapped slaves?" I asked.
"They used to be sold to Mr. Thomas, but some days ago, I heard that he was captured by the Black Night Pack. Then we didn't know who we were going to sell the captured slaves to."
This guy said it was correct. "Did you just mention that you didn't know who to sell the captured effort to?"
"Yes, I also just recently received the news that you can take slaves to the black market to return a little food and coins. Although it's not as much money as it used to be, it's a very lucky thing if you can get a little something in exchange."
I picked at his collar with my dagger, and he seemed to have something tattooed on the front of his chest as well.
"I'll let you take your clothes off!" I said to him.
"What?" The man looked in disbelief, also it's never only men who take off women's clothes.
"No clothes off, right? Then I'll kill you!" I pretended to stab him in the face with a dagger, and the man hurriedly took off his shirt.
"Sure enough, you all have the same tattoo!" I looked at the strange black totem on his chest.
"Miss Charlotte, what is this design?" Kelly knew nothing about it, so I had to tell her.
"It's a mark belonging to a member of a slave trading organization. It's a huge, dark organization. They sell young women for a living."
Kelly's face had fear written all over it, "If you weren't there, I would have been taken by them for sure, wouldn't I?"
I nodded, "Good, I also saved a girl from kidnappers when I first came to Wind Pack." Kelly's young face reminded me of the day I met Amy, and I helped Amy kill the kidnapper who was on top of her like I had killed the tall kidnapper today.
"So after you finally saved the girl, what happened to her life after that?" Kelly asked curiously.
"She was fine, I helped her heal all the wounds on her body from being caught by the kidnappers. But she ended up dying too..." My voice was getting lower and lower as I told Amy's story to Kelly.
"Why?" Kelly asked.
"Because she was murdered in her home, and the cause of death was all poisoned by the slave trade. Just like the dead Beta from the Shadow Wolves."
As Kelly listened, she bowed her head in silence.
"So who exactly created this slave trading ring? And who is behind them running this organization of such magnitude?"
The thirsty gaze under Kelly's eyes was stronger than the sunlight.
"I don't know that yet, Miss Kelly. But we have captured a man named Thomas, who is supposed to belong to the middle level of the entire slave trade organization and is an extremely important participant."
I explained to Kelly.
Kelly lowered her head, her hands were twitching. I guess her heart must be full of surprise and contradiction right now.
"What's on your mind, Miss Kelly?" I asked her.
"No one has ever told me this, Miss Charlotte. My father only told me that I could get everything I wanted if I listened to what he told me to ask for. But now it seems that this is not the case."
"When I saw that you had just cleanly killed the kidnapper who tried to kidnap me, I began to have feelings of admiration for you. I've never seen a girl as brave and determined as you!"
Kelly looked up at me, and her gaze looked like it was filled with all the light of the stars.
"The road to finding yourself is very hard, Miss Kelly. But once you start looking, you'll find that it's actually full of adventure."
I explained to her with a smile.
Kelly looked ashamed at this point, "I'm sorry about that, Miss Charlotte. I have always obeyed my father's ideas, I never really got to know you, I was even prejudiced against you..."
Kelly bowed her head and she apologized to me very clearly. And he also talked to me about some of the things Gary had arranged for her to do on the way to Wind Pack.
"Miss Charlotte, I feel I have to tell you. My father was trying to pull the strings of the Black Night Pack, and he even asked me to seduce Mr. Ronald, damn it. I simply hated the idea. But I had to go through with it or my father would have had me severely punished."
Kelly explained to me accusingly.
"That's okay, Miss Kelly. I know it's not something you wanted to do out of the goodness of your heart. I think I can forgive you for that."
"That's just great! And that is, Ronald he was thinking of getting close to me because he was jealous of you and Mr. Gavin getting too close. All he did was to get you to stop looking after Mr. Gavin so closely. Simply put, Mr. Ronald is just trying to get your attention."
Kelly winked and said to me.
Ronald's figure appeared in my line of sight, and his eyes instantly locked on the short kidnapper huddled in front of us.
Ronald dropped some of the items he was holding in his hands and he swung his dagger and ran towards us.
"Charlotte, who is he?" Ronald asked.
"This is the kidnapper who tried to ambush us, and as you can see, he is also one of Thromas' men. The other kidnapper, while hiding, was killed by a stab from my dagger."
I explained as Ronald helped me pick the short kidnapper up off the ground, he tied his hands and feet with the rope he carried, and then threw the kidnapper on his horse while he did so.
"That's great, Miss Charlotte. You've done a great service." Ronald complimented.
"Wait a minute, maybe that's not the only lucky thing that happened today. "Out of the corner of my eye, I skimmed a purple plant in the bushes by the river.
I stepped forward and carefully picked him off. "Look, this is the kind of plant that can be used to make poisons, of which can win growing in acidic soil."
Today I was very lucky that this was not the boundary of the wind Pack but I still found this plant.
We speed back to the Shadow Pack.
Gary looked at us with surprise when he saw how quickly we came back.
"Kelly, Ronald, why are you guys back so early?"
Kelly excitedly told Gary everything she had experienced.
"So that's why, then what happened to you today is too dangerous!"
I noticed that although Gary was saying this, he didn't seem too concerned about it, as if he had expected everything.
"Mr. Gary, I will develop the antidote as soon as possible and the nature of the poison. If a similar situation occurs in the Shadow Pack in the future. Please let the victim take the antidote as soon as possible!"
I admonished Mr. Gary, and he looked at me gratefully.
"Thank you very much, Miss Charlotte!"
I had just returned to my study when Tyler arrived in a hurry.
"Mr. Ronald! I've brought back good news for you!"
I stopped what I was doing in my hands with great interest.
"We've found out who's behind Thomas's slave trade!"
"That's fantastic! Who is it?" I was so excited I could barely hold my glass of water.
"It's a woman named K. Strangely enough, I couldn't find out anything about her. I just heard that she was a witch-like person who suddenly appeared five years ago. But you can rest assured that I have arranged for someone to contact the Grand Witch of the Witch Tribe to check her background."
Tyler said.
Ronald was pacing back and forth with equal excitement, "Great! I think I while soon to find out who that K really is!"
The door was suddenly opened and Gavin came running in yelling. His forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.
"Mr. Gavin? What are you doing here?"
I asked, stopping him in a hurry.
"Miss Charlotte! Great, you're finally back! I don't want to take those pills! But they always want me to eat the damned ones!"
Gavin angrily grabbed the pills that Cathy was holding behind him, and Gavin tried to throw the white pills away.
I suddenly sensed something was wrong. "Wait! Hand me those pills."
Gavin took the pills and put them in my palm.
I sniffed carefully, "No, this pill doesn't look like the one Gavin always takes."
Cathy insisted, "No way, this is the pill that Mr. Gary personally gave him and instructed Gavin to take. Maybe it's the latest version of the pill, so they don't smell much like the previous ones."
"Maybe." I took the bottle of pills from Cathy's hand and told her. "Just give me the medicine and I'll get Mr. Gavin to take it."
Cathy trusted me a lot, "Okay, then please." She put the medicine bottle in my hand and left.
I watched her back as she left and I asked Tyler to close the door behind her.
"Ronald, this pill has some drugs in it that can make people fall into hallucinations." Ronald's brow furrowed, "Who would be so bold as to drug an Alpha?"
I shook my head, "I don't know, but it seems that in the future, extra care must be taken with the drugs given to Gavin."
Ronald nodded his head.
After Mr. Ronald and I finished settling things at the Shadow Pack, we set off on a quick trip to get back to the Blackout Pack.
On the way, however, we were assassinated by a mysterious person.
