บท 229: Sanctuary

"Oh my God, he is really dead" that's the first thing Matt said as soon as he arrived at the scene. 

"Where is Riley"? Christian asked Matt.

"He stayed back. He thought it won't be wise to leave those kids alone even if this Alpha is dead" Matt nudged his head towards the dead wolf lying on the floor. 

"I must say, he is right," Christian sighed. "Do you know what killed him"?

"... Ashton"? With hesitation, Matt suggested.

"Look, I know Ashton is strong, but he is not a killer okay". Christian scowled.

"No.. I know. I am not saying he did it on purpose. When he was fighting, it seemed like… like a switch went off in his head and all he could focus on was beating this guy to pulp" Matt explained. "I am not saying he intended to kill him… I am saying he might have ended up killing him".
