The reports from the teams sent to the mounds were all the same. Fae creatures were found near or around each of the sites. None of the creatures became hostile or even acknowledged the presence of the men and women that arrived to clear the area. All fae had been exterminated without a fight.
The only difference in the reports was that the southern mound was not found. Instead, the fae were spread out in the forest and in the pass, but none had made it to the actual site.
Wyatt had gone off on his own, being the only one who knew the exact site. But found none of the fae were even close.
He had never shared the details of what had happened inside the mound with anyone besides Ashleigh and Bell. Even Axel was only told very broad strokes of the events.
“Do you think it’s because you blew up the tree?” Bell asked.
“I’m not sure,” Wyatt replied. “It seems the most likely answer since the other mounds are undisturbed and the fae found their way to them without a problem.”
