Chapter 35.*Cole had finished cleaning the flat, and it was nearly spotless.He had finished his wash and eaten his dinner. The problem now was deciding what to get Cora to wear.She can't be wandering around in the hospital gown with him. He would be interrogated by the cops.She also can't wear his clothing since they are too big for her. Worse yet, none of his girlfriend's clothing was present."What?" Cora, who was still putting on his shirt, inquired.He remained silent and rubbed his brows, chewing his bottom lip as he pondered. He sighed and glanced up at her."You'll require some clothing. You can't follow me in those." He eventually let out a sigh as she examined the clothing she was putting on as if it were the first time she had seen it."I need to get you some good outfit," he sighed."What size do you wear? Or do you have a preference?""I'm not sure. Kira produces my outfits all the time, therefore she doesn't need to ask me these things "she stated"Who is Kira?""My
Chapter 36.*.MOUNTAIN HOWL.The werewolves at Mountain Howl Pack stood outside the fortress in their wolf form.It was time for them to go on their hunt, and the full moon was shining brightly. Max led the wolves from the front, while Lucas stayed in the back.All creatures were aware of the wolves' hunts and had to keep a safe distance to avoid getting in their way.This was the first full moon without their alpha, and most of the wolves found it odd.Max let out a long, resonant howl, to which the other wolves quickly answered with a resounding howl, and the hunt started.They dispersed into groups and dashed through the woods.The howling of the wolves and the rustling sound of the bushes the wolves produced as they fled far into the woods could be heard in the dungeon where Kovu sat, his feet and hands drenched in hot molten iron.Some wolves remained in the pack, roaming the fortress's perimeter and guiding the young pups.The dazzling full moon could be seen from the window wh
Chapter 37.*Arcade entered the cave, going through various rogues who were preoccupied with their tasks. Some of them glared at him with their gazes riveted on him.As he proceeded nearer Nile, he could see a glimmer of fire from the opposite side of the cave, but he couldn't determine what they were doing.He expected Nile to go insane as soon as he saw him, but Nile did not. Nile sat still in his seat, staring at the wooden fire torches that lit up the chamber."Um uhmm hmmm," Arcade said, clearing his throat to draw Nile's attention away from where he was sitting."I am aware you've arrived, Arcade. I am not expecting you to come here when the moon is full." Nile said with a shrug.Arcade remained silent, attempting to take in Nile's calm visage, which frightened him. He had never seen Nile in this state before, and it bothered him.Arcade had always known Nile to be nasty and aggressive, and now that one of his men had died, he didn't expect Nile to be so quiet, and he was strug
Chapter 38.*The knock sounded again, and Cole rushed to the door, almost tripping over some furniture in the process.He came to a halt in front of the door and wiped his sweaty palms on his slacks."Can you tell me who you are?" He inquired but was met with silence as the knock sounded again, this time louder, and he sensed the visitor was about to open the door."For the love of fuck!" He mumbled and fidgeted with the door. He could still hear noises coming from the room Cora was in, and he silently prayed that she wouldn't open the door.When he eventually opened the door, he was taken aback to find his girlfriend standing directly in front of himHe simply stood at the door, his body preventing her view inside the room.The lady donned a hooded denim jacket that she zipped up to the neck, as well as black leather leggings that complemented her boot heels wonderfully.She removed her hoodie, revealing her short red hair, pale blue eyes filled with anxiety, and freckles on her che
Chapter 39.*"Huh?" Cole inquired, pretending to be deaf.Cole was in her way, blocking her approach to the storage door, and the low growl and rumbling had ceased."Did you not hear that? I think there's something in your apartment; we need to go check it out," she said, reflexively wiping the blood off her fingers on her trousers and moving toward the storage, but Cole remained in the way, obstructing her passage."Do you mean my apartment?" That is something I seriously doubt. I didn't hear anything," he stated."It sounded more like an animal-like... like, I don't know, but I think something is in this apartment," she insisted."Come on, Cole. Do you have your firearm with you?""What? A firearm simply for an animal? Come on, Claudia," he sneered, but she wasn't having it."That must be the dog of one of the next-door neighbors. It isn't something you must do__""That doesn't sound at all like a dog! And it wasn't from the next-door neighbor, but from right here in this apartment
Chapter 40.*Cole and Claudia stood a few meters apart, looking at one other after the kiss."I'm going to require a disguise." He mumbled."I can't walk out like this." He nodded and added."You are correct. What are our options now?" She sighed and ruffled her hair with her fingers."I'm not sure," he said as he sat down in the chair from which she had risen.They stayed silent, each immersed in meditation, without saying anything to one other."Cole__" She began as he raised his eyes to her."How about dressing up like a lady?""What?" He spoke hastily."Cole, that's the only way out. We need to change our clothes.""That, however, is absurd! Claudia, how would I look in your gown?" He guffawed at the prospect of him donning her boot heels, denim jacket, and black leather pants."That's insane," he grumbled, shaking his head sideways."Then, by all means, tell me other great ideas," she grumbled.He didn't say anything and just brushed his thumb across his lips, thinking about how
Chapter 41.*It was early morning, and the fortress appeared peaceful. They did not kill any creatures last night during the full moon, which delighted Lucas.He strolled beside Max as they discussed what had occurred during the full moon, with Aden and Bryan trailing behind them.They were on their way to the council meeting and the elders of the pack were waiting for them.Because Aden and Bryan were not permitted to attend the caucus meeting, they were required to wait for Lucas in the hallway.But Lucas told them to go check on Kovu and prepare him for torture and questioning this morning, and they agreed and departed.They eventually made it to the chamber and sat down. Cohen gave Lucas and Max a friendly nod. They returned his greeting with a nod and a nod to the other pack elders, who grunted slightly, as they took their seats.Cohen stood in the middle of the chambers, where they sat in circles, with the seats of the Alpha and Luna empty.Max could not wait any longer. Tomorr
Chapter 42.*"Huh?" She said this while touching her face as if she had no idea she had a scar on her face."Oh, that..." She forced a sad smile and wiped away the tears that had begun to well up in her eyes."Can you tell me what happened to you?" He inquired once more."The night the rogues attacked the fortress, I... I got that. I... I had to protect the cubs "She said and lowered her gaze as he sighed deeply."Kira, you should be more cautious. With the rogues multiplying every day, it doesn't appear that the fortress is as well guarded as it once was.""Thank you, Master Lucas"He nodded as she walked away, in a hurry. He stood there, watching her walk away until she was no longer visible.That's when he remembered the emergency Aden had mentioned. With a deep sigh, he broke into a little run, stepping heavily on the floor with such long strides until he reached the dungeon.When he pressed his hand against the gate, it opened, and the first thing he saw was Bryan standing right
