Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

Unfortunately, it suddenly started snowing today.

Fortunately, it snowed all year round in the ruins of the witch clan, and we were used to such weather.

However, getting used to the snow didn’t mean I would like to lie in the snow for the entire morning.

It was only now that I finally understood the true meaning of ‘stalking’ – as the name implied, it meant to keep an eye on your target. You have to use your eyes to keep an eye on your target. This mission was incredibly boring but was already the least torturous part. The frozen earth and cold air had taught me a proper lesson.

“Can you still hold on?” Eve asked in a low voice.

In fact, I felt like I was at my limit, but it was not time for the shift change yet. I had to hold on even if I couldn’t.

“What a stubborn girl.” Eve chuckled. Compared to me, who looked like I was about to face a great enemy, she was much more relaxed. “Don’t push yourself. Your performance is already very good among the newcomers who are doing this for the first time. The first time I followed Captain Frank was on a tall grass plain. There was no snow there, but there were as many monster-like mosquitoes. I surrendered in under three hours.”

Although I had a boyfriend, who was a general, I rarely came into contact with military life, so I was naturally very interested in Eve’s experience. “Didn’t Captain Frank punish you?”

“Of course, I was lectured. Military orders are like mountains. If I don’t complete the task, I will be punished.” Eve raised his eyebrows. “But making mistakes is the right of newcomers, and it’s also an inevitable shortcoming of newcomers. We should find our actual level from these experiences and train ourselves to complete the next mission more perfectly.”

She was subtly trying to persuade me to rest, but the team members for the shift change had not arrived yet, so I couldn’t just leave like that.

“By the way, is it okay for us to whisper like this?” I remained tense because I was afraid that any movement would alert the other party.

“Of course not.” Eve shook her head slightly. “It’s not possible to be too loud. It’s necessary to control communication and movements within a reasonable range. After all, we’re scouts, not rock puppets. Be it observing or transmitting information; we inevitably have to move our limbs. That’s why we must keep our detection range at a range that’s neither too close nor too far. If we’re too close, we’ll expose ourselves, and if we’re too far, we won’t be able to get any information.”

Eve divided the reconnaissance team into several groups. Each group observed the human camp in the distance from different directions and heights. The members of the reconnaissance team were all related by blood, which allowed them to communicate silently through their mind link.

When they found out that Dorothy and I could create a mind link, the team members were all shocked, as if it was something unique.

“Don’t blame us for being surprised,” Eve said. “Mind link is a very mysterious thing. Generally speaking, only blood ties and oaths are its strongest bonds. This is why most mind links are produced between relatives and husband and wife. You are not related by blood and don’t look like a couple. It’s an awe-inspiring thing for you to be able to build a mind link. This shows that the friendship between you two is very, very, very strong.”

Now, because of our ‘very strong friendship’, Dorothy and I had to be placed on two ends of a diagonal line.

“What’s the situation on your side?” I asked her.

Dorothy replied boredly, “Nothing. There’s nothing. Moon Goddess, this group of humans did nothing but admire the scenery the entire morning. They even built a kitchen just for cooking. Are they not here for an outing?”

“It’d be great if they were here for an outing.” I held the telescope in my other hand and let my frozen left hand warm up properly. “Everything considered, a false alarm is the best result.”

At that moment, Dorothy suddenly said, “A group of humans has entered the camp. We didn’t observe any camp members going out earlier, so we’re considering that this group will likely be a foreign aid.”

The human camp was built in a narrow crack sheltered from the wind. From our angle, we couldn’t see the camp’s entrance on the other side of the mountain. About two minutes later, a team of about twenty people appeared at the corner of the mountain. They were all wrapped up tightly, each carrying a large backpack half a person’s height. There were no weapons on the outside, so he didn’t know if they were hidden in his backpack.

Eve and I lurked in front of the human camp on the shaded side of the mountain while Dorothy’s team lurked on the sunny side. Even without a large pile of luggage, it would take at least five minutes to walk from the shady side to the sunny side. How could these humans be so fast?

Eve also noticed this and asked me to ask Dorothy where they came from.

“It’s hard to say. We’ve been monitoring the only canyon here, but no one has come.” Dorothy was puzzled as well. “This group of people appeared as if they came from the middle of a snowstorm. They appeared in the blink of an eye, just around the corner, and they did not leave any footprints on the passageway.

Suddenly appeared?

It was very deja vu, right?

For some reason, I thought of the Frank on the mountain. Didn’t he also appear out of nowhere like this?
