Chapter 139.*.*FLASHBACKThe three men were fully equipped as they dashed into the cold night, not knowing what to expect. George had a bag hung across his shoulders while holding a hunter gun filled with bullets made of iron. Right in his belt, he had some daggers made of steel and silver while a head torch was fastened onto his forehead.Boston and Ethan had torches also fastened onto their foreheads. Boston had a gun filled with brass bullets and they were daggers made of iron fastened to his belt while Ethan's was filled with steel.Just as they were about to move further into the woods, he came to a halt and called out to their attention, making them stop dead in their tracks.He stood there, looking at them as they walked back to him, peering into his eyes and waiting for what he was going to say."Boston... George" he swallowed feeling so sorry for them."I'm sorry for dragging you both into this mess. I am also sorry for our brothers that we've lost""You didn't drag us int
Chapter 140.*.*"Is it dead?" Ethan managed to speak hoarsely."I... I don't..." Boston stuttered, as shocked as Ethan was."I don't know... It has been that way since I shot at it" he finally said and watched the moving figure of Ethan, walking toward the wolf."What are you doing?! What if it isn't dead?" "Then there's only one way to find out. We can't just stand here and watch, doing nothing" He ignored Boston and walked to the beast lying on the ground next to the tree.Boston kept mute and gawked as he squatted next to the beast and carefully observed it. With great fear gripping him, Boston held on to his gun and cocked it, ready to pull the trigger at the slightest provocation.He looked on and swallowed hard, scanning as Ethan was carefully observing the beast. He finished and stood erect then turned to look at Boston who was watching him."It's dead" he announced and stepped away from the beast while Boston lowered the gun."What? How?" Boston was bewildered.Ethan said n
Chapter 141.*.*Boston turned to look at Cole who had asked him that question and heaved. Then he lowered his gaze to the locket pendant he was holding and spoke without looking up."During the next full moon, me, Ethan, and the rest 12 new members of the armory ventured into the woods with mainly silver weapons." He began again and looked up at Cora, wondering how she was feeling, hearing about the chaos between the humans and her species."We were well equipped with a lot of silver weapons and machines and that very night, we were able to kill four of the wolves and brought them back here to the cottage" "Even if we lost a few of our brothers, others from the neighboring villages were still joining us and we created an army with a dozen blacksmiths creating deadly weapons for us" he twitched his lips."For months, we were able to regulate the killings by the wolves and we lived in peace. But we were not satisfied because there was not a battle we go to that the wolves doesn't kill
Chapter 142.*.*Anastasia turned to look at the boys who were gazing at her in surprise and anger. She frowned and turned to face Ethan and shook her head sideways."I don't know how your species deal with trust issues. But the witches trust no one and I insist they go away" she maintained."Hmm..." A bleak expression appeared on his face as he turned to face the boys and nodded. The boys gathered and grabbed their weapons around the room and started walking away, straight to the basement, but close enough to be alerted by anything."Make no mistake, Anastasia. If anything happens to me, my boys would hunt you down" She scoffed and shook her head sideways, then took a few steps forward while he moved backward."I am not the enemy here, human. In fact, we have a common enemy" Anastasia exhaled sharply while Ethan furrowed his brows at her.END OF FLASHBACK."Did you say, Anastasia?" Cora interrupted him.Cole and Boston turned to look at her as she steadied her gaze on Boston."Yes.
Chapter 143.*.*"What do they propose?" Anastasia cocked her head to one side."They don't want to attack during the full moon anymore. They want to take you all off balance and finish you off" Ethan was astounded but he didn't let her notice the look of panic on his face and just kept on staring at her, his expression deadpan."And I found out they were desperate when they proposed to give us a place in the Pack if we join forces with them" she grinned."Since that is what you and your kind have always wanted, why didn't you take it up? Why are you here telling me this?" Ethan questioned. She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth to speak."We knew they were lying. The wolves have always been sly creatures and they are never truthful" she responded to him."They have lied to us countless times in the past and we would be stupid to believe anything that would come out of their sugar-coating tongue" "So I came up with a proposition" she stopped talking and turned to look a
Chapter 144.*.*The story kept on developing and becoming more captivating that Cora was gradually getting the answers to why most of the things happened which she had no explanation for."Before Anastasia left, she told Ethan they would find a way to stall the wolves so they wouldn't have to attack when we weren't ready" "Ethan related to us all she had discussed with her and how she would be our greatest ally if things go according to plan" Boston grinned."Did she come through?" Cora asked."She did" "After three days, she returned to the cottage at night with something she called 'Wolfsbane' that she was not sure if it would work but we could give it a trial" Boston mumbled."To build our trust for her. She asked us not to give her our secret weapon until we have tasted and made sure the wolfsbane does work" he exhaled sharply."And what happened when you tasted the wolfsbane?" Cole asked."It worked, but it wears off after a while."FLASHBACKEthan and Anastasia stood right ou
Chapter 145.*.*She kept an awkward look on her face as she looked down at the man laying flat, face up in the hole."Hello?" She called but was greeted by silence."Can you hear me? Are you okay down there?" She called again but he was too weak to speak.All he wanted to do was ask her to go get help or anything. It would be better if she could find her way to the cottage and get the guys. But he was too weak to speak, so he just lay there, looking up and feeling dizzy with the sun dancing on his skin and tormenting his eyes."Hold on!! I am coming down to get you!" She said and stood erect, then she looked down carefully and figured where she was going to land, and to his dismay, she jumped right into the hole close to him, on her back."Ohh!" She grunted and remained that way while she waited for the pain to subside."Stupid girl! You should have gone to get help instead of jumping in! Who's gonna help us now" he said in his head as his visions began to get blurry and his hearing
Chapter 146.*.*She continued to yell at him while he stared at her frightened."This is my place and whatever I say, stands! I don't care to know if you are some sort of runaway alpha, beta, gamma, delta, omega, or even rogue! You just have to listen to me!" "I could have left you there to die with that injury on your leg but I didn't. I saved you and brought you in here, but you don't trust me?" She rolled her eyes and gave a hysterical laugh while he didn't understand what was wrong with her that was getting her suddenly heated up."I should be scared of you and take precautions because I do not know if you were some sort of assassin or not! But I wasn't! I saw you needed help and helped you, but what did you do in return?!" She frowned."You're ignoring my questions as if I am some sort of dangerous wolf when I am nothing but a harmless sweet girl!" Her eyes glowed instantly and he felt he saw his life, flashing before his eyes.He saw furs growing on her skin while her fangs sp
