369\u2013Killing The Source\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham:\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the very early morning, the first thing I did was go and visit the old lady. I knew she would be very cocky, but I needed to know if anyone had approached her recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way they were looking for a witness made me afraid she would be approached and start speaking nonsense\u00a0<\/p>\n
about me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For that reason alone, I needed to have a conversation with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since I woke up, I had a strange pain in my head and in my heart. It came from the fact that\u00a0<\/p>\n
openly confessed that she did not love me the way she loved Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, that did not change the fact that I did not believe her. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was just a bitter person because I had rejected her, and now she was trying to cause the same pain by acting as if she were rejecting us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knocked on the door once and anxiously waited for the old woman to answer. When she did not respond after a few seconds, I knocked again, and again, and again. By the end of it, I was pounding on the door with clenched fists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is the urgency?\u201d the old woman asked sleepily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That explained why she had not responded earlier. Otherwise, she would have been waiting by the door, since no one ever came to see her. She would have welcomed anyone knocking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have some questions for you,\u201d the warrior beside me told her at my order.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew she would not answer me after what happened last time, so I let my warrior handle it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of questions?\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHas anyone come to you recently asking for help about the monster?\u201d my warrior asked, and I anxiously ran my hands through my hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is asking?\u201d she questioned, making me roll my eyes in frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am. I\u2019m a warrior of the alpha of this pack,\u201d my warrior lied, staring impatiently at the door, waiting for her to answer so we could leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even standing at the door gave me a bad feeling. I remembered the last time I came here said whatever I did would backfire, and it had. I did not want to be near that woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, are you working for that nasty Alpha?\u201d she asked, then started cackling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ad cursed me. She\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stepped forward and punched the door hard. It swung inward, and I heard her yelp. She must have been standing too close, because my strike caught her as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHa! Alpha Graham, I\u2019m not going to help you in any case, so fucking leave,\u201d she screamed once she realized\u00a0<\/p>\n

she could not mock me anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will once I get answers,\u201d I demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what makes you think I will respond to you? After how you reacted last time, I realized you don\u2019t deserve anyone\u2019s support,\u201d she remarked, making me clench my fists and grind my teeth. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLady, just tell us what you know, and we will be on our way. Don\u2019t try to anger the Alpha,\u201d my warrior warned\u00a0<\/p>\n
her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She laughed again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think I\u2019m afraid of your little bitch boy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was it. I would not let her insult me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBreak the door down,\u201d I ordered, stepping back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot do that. It is illegal to enter a helpless woman\u2019s home without proper authorization,\u201d the old woman protested, reminding me of pack rules as if anyone cared. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFucking do it!\u201d I screamed at my warrior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hesitated for a moment, then started kicking the door. Other warriors joined him, moving quickly to obey my order while the woman screamed for the Alpha and the pack members from inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not know why she thought anyone would respond. She kept screaming in her old, harsh voice anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment the door opened, I shoved it aside and rushed inside. The old woman saw me and turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was probably in her late nineties. Her hair was thin and gray, and her skin was deeply wrinkled. She had shrunk so much that she almost looked like a child, like a fourteen\u2013year\u2013old.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to run with a cane in her hand, but I did not need to run. I simply moved closer and grabbed her by the neck, slamming her onto the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, what are you doing?\u201d she screamed helplessly, twisting as she lay on the floor and looked up at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid anyone come to ask you any questions?\u201d I demanded as I crouched down, pressing the tip of my silver knife against her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see fear in her eyes. She was likely regretting the way she had spoken to me earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe moon goddess sees it all. She is the witness to all the terrible things you are doin\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes and pressed the knife slightly into her skin until she yelped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
uttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me. Did anyone ask you anything? Just answer me, and I\u2019ll let you go. I\u2019ll walk out of here and never come back,\u201d I told her, watching her hesitate as she swallowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, nobody came to ask me anything, and I have not spoken to anyone about you either,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she answered, I smiled. She let out a breath of relief when I lifted the dagger, only for me to drive it deep into her chest. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n

She stared at me in shock, and so did the warriors around me. They did not need to react so strongly. Who cared about this woman? She was already dying. And the longer she stayed alive, the more she could tell others how to summon the monster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, I was doing charity work. I was destroying the source, because I did not want anyone to summon the monster and get hurt again. 4\u00a0<\/p>\n
