So the pack was cleared.
But that didn't resolve anything.
It only splits the problem into two.
Now there were two separate cases: a missing human and an unidentified, severely injured woman. The peacekeepers had only involved themselves because of the potential connection to supernatural beings, something ordinary authorities weren't meant to uncover. But with the werewolves no longer under suspicion, there was no need for them to remain directly involved.
From this point on, the investigation would fall back into human hands.
They noted it down as an unfortunate coincidence. Three separate incidents that happened to occur at the same time.
As for the injured woman pulled from the lake…
The only way to get the full truth was simple.
Wait until she woke up... And hear the story from her directly.
In the end, it meant they had come for nothing.
No leads. No trace of where Clarissa might have gone.
