Serafall's military office occupied the highest floor of the eastern wing of the Imperial Fortress, a structure surrounded by watchtowers, training courtyards, and walls reinforced with ancient runes. Even within the Capital, the building operated as though it could be attacked at any moment. Soldiers crossed the corridors carrying reports, messengers entered and left through the stairways, and updated maps of the borders covered nearly every available wall.
Serafall sat behind a wide desk made of black wood, surrounded by documents that had arrived during the night. She had already read reports about attacks along the borders, missing patrols, sabotage along trade routes, and suspicious movements among small werewolf clans, but the file sent by Natasha was different. The document described the operation in Bramford in detail, the clones of Ghideon, the underground laboratory, the hybrids, and the number of bodies used in the experiments.
Serafall turned another page.
