A scapegoat

In the heart of the dense forest, the moon cast a silvery glow on the trees, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Alpha Darren stood tall and imposing, his eyes filled with fury and determination. His pack members, sensing his anger, were on high alert. The air was thick with tension as they gathered around him, awaiting his command.

He had finally asked Lucy of how she had ended up in the cave. She let him know that she got kidnapped on that day, making Darren really mad.

Alpha Darren's voice boomed, echoing through the woods. "Carlos, my trusted beta, I need you to lead a team of our strongest pack guards to find those heartless kidnappers who had taken Lucy."

Carlos, his most muscular and experienced werewolf, met Darren's gaze with unwavering loyalty. "Of course, Alpha. We won't rest until we bring them to you."

Alpha Darren nodded, his expression softening slightly. "I know I can count on you, Carlos. Make sure you choose the best guards for this mission. We cannot afford any mistakes.
