Lachlan was reading a report that his subordinates had sent to him. Other than worrying about the rogues, he also had to think about the safety of the townspeople. Apparently, there has been quite a disorder in town. Elections have started and there were many posters of every candidate all over town.
Wyatt Hilliard was the current mayor of Burkendall town. Although he was a human, similar to Coach Gundlach, he knew the existence of shifters in town. And he also knew that Lachlan and Fergus were shifters, as well. But because Hilliard's ancestors were also the same people who had fought against the other shifters who were against living together in peace with humans and shifters, he did not mind their existence. And it was because of this, the mayor and the police chief had a friendly relationship outside work.
Nevertheless, this does not mean Lachlan had to be biased when it comes to the election. He did not want to be accused of foul play, especially when the election was this restless.
Because of the elections, crime rates were increasing and there weren't enough people in the police force to help subdue the problem. Hence, the visiting army had to lend a helping hand to the police force.
Just a couple of days ago, there was a bomb alert at the mall. It had caused panic and chaos at the mall that it took them hours to calm the people. In the end, it was only a bomb hoax. But many stores were broken in with windows being smashed. Lachlan suspected that the bomb hoax was probably a diversion for the robbery to happen.
They haven't found the culprit yet but Lachlan had Fergus to be in-charge of it. This was because he was already occupied with the rogues. Yet, it does not mean that he would not help Fergus as well.
In the elections, one of the candidates was named Mateo Zant. Although he was relatively new in town, living in Burkendall for more than five years, Lachlan was surprised to see him contending for the position of mayor.
He thought that perhaps Zant was probably a smooth talker, who knows how to get the people's attention with his speech. Yet, he could not put a finger onto it. He just seems suspicious. He doesn't know Zant that well since he hasn't talked with him that much. But one time when he was talking to him, Willem, his wolf counterpart was hissing in his mind, warning him. Lachlan had asked why but it had kept quiet.
So, all Lachlan could do was to keep it low and never let Zant out of his sight.
Two days after the meeting with Noaz and Roel's groups, Omorose's group had arrived. Although they did not manage to bring the shifters back because the Cesaro pack had imprisoned them in their shifter prisons, Paxon, one of the shifters from the Cesaro pack had followed them back to Burkendall town.
Together with Oz, Lachlan, Fergus and the other elders had spent nearly a day in the meeting room, discussing the appearances of rogue and their motives, with Omorose's group.
During the meeting, there were many slight arguments where their views and opinions had clashed.
Dewei, who was in Omorose's group, had excused himself from the discussions as he wanted to do his experiments. He had gained many insights after meeting the Cesaro pack researchers. Hence, he could not wait to test it out.
Hamish, who was also in Omorose's group, was also excused as he wasn't qualified to join in the meeting. Not that he mind since he knew that he would be confused.
That day, Omorose had told Lachlan that they believed that the rogues were plotting something that may endanger everyone. And at that moment, they were just biding their time and preparing for the attack. She further confirmed that the rogues must have cooperated with the warlocks to gain more power in their hands.
From Omorose's deductions, she believed that the rogues were at the forest near the Cairin pack due to a plant. She recalled from one of the reports that says that people would lose some of their memories after they went into the forest. Especially memories that concerned the forest. Omorose believed that even though there was presence of warlocks in the forest, she did not believe that their spells would not work for a long time if it's not because of a certain plant.
Paccia had agreed with Omorose's views as she, too, remembered that there was a plant called the 'Sconpilatrine' plant. 'Sconpilatrine' plant is a plant that grows every ten years before it dies. It was one of the rare plants in the world as it can't be found easily. There were certain conditions on how to grow them. But there weren't many doc.u.ments or reports about this specific plant.
Paccia suspected that there were 'Sconpilatrine' plants in the forest but they weren't able to find one. And what made her confident was that she suddenly recalled seeing some of the pollen on the warlock's clothes before he blew himself up. She wanted to get the pollen but it disappeared into ashes.
The others immediately discuss among themselves after this revelation. Paccia also pointed out that even though she had suspected this, she was still confused as to why the Cairin pack wasn't helpful.
Noaz nodded, agreeing with her words. He had also voiced out his views, saying that there was probably something that the Cairin pack was hiding and was probably threatened. He had felt it was weird that they did not realize the presence of rogues and warlocks in their forest when it was near to their homes. It was impossible for them to not realize it so they were probably something that made them be oblivious to the presence.
As for Roel, he commented that perhaps that there were rogues in the mountain, near to where the bear shifters lived, was probably because of the wolfsbane.
Hence, they concluded that the rogues were probably plotting something big, where they had cooperated with the warlocks and that they were in need of the wolfsbane and the 'Sconpilatrine' plant. They weren't sure what their plans were, but Lachlan had turned to both Oz and Paxon.
He had hoped to gain their cooperation and further hope that they would work together against the rogues.
After the meeting, they all went their separate ways, except for Lachlan, Fergus, Oz and Paxon. The four of them decided to go to the shifter prisons and interrogate the rogues that had been imprisoned. It took them two hours to interrogate the rogues and when they were finally satisfied, Lachlan had given permission to Oz to bring the rogue that had killed his brother.
Oz thanked him and told him of his leaving the next morning.
Currently, Lachlan was on a call with one of the deputies who were patrolling in town. He had asked for updates on the breaks-in when Erick walked in, carrying two huge bags.
Erick was alone since Hamish had to run back home.
He felt like deja vu as he had experienced the same scene a few months ago. The difference was that Fergus was not around this time.
Not wanting to disturb his father with his call, he silently placed the bags on an empty table and began to unpack them.
After his father was done with his call, Erick turned to him and said, "Mom prepared some food for you."
Lachlan nodded as he arranged his items on the table before going over to have his meal.
Erick sat down across him and grabbed one of the sandwiches. Both Kendall men ate in silence as the food slowly finished.
Just then Erick broke the silence by asking, "Dad, did someone come over to our house lately?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
