Chapter 59: A Painful Dream"Zenith," everything was too dark and I could hear a faint voice calling my name. "Zenith!" My eyes widen when I started to see where I was. It was a dark and cold cell. And little light coming through the bars in front. "Zenith." A weak voice went clearer, my heart hammered against my chest when I recognize his voice. I turned around and saw him pinned on the wall, full of blood. "Rylan..." I instantly ran to him and held his face. My tears did not take long to appear. "Rylan..." I almost could not hear my voice. He looked at me and smiled. "I need you." "I'm here now," I hurriedly break the chain around him, I break the last chain yet he was still pinned on the wall. "Let's get out of here." I wiped my tears. But he looked down. My gaze slowly went down to what he was looking at. A silver dagger stuck in his chest which was pinning him to the wall. My hand flew to my mouth and forced myself not to make any sound. "Rylan...""ALPHA!" A screa
Chapter 60: Puppets on The WayThere was silence between us while watching the sunrise, I stood up and pulled my hood up to cover my face. "Time to go," I said, and he led the way. I watched him walk straight back to our pack. How about you Timor? What was your uncertainty in this war?"I wonder..." I saw him stop yet did not bother to look back. "How about you, Timor? Are your fists heavy enough for this war?" He looked at me from the edge of his eyes with a serious expression. "I did not mean your strength, I mean the things you are fighting for that you bear in your fist in every fight of your life. Are they heavy enough?"He faced in front and started walking. "More than you can even imagine." One side of my lips rouse when he said that. I nodded and followed him. No one was ever prepared to jump on a battlefield where there was no assurance of setting your foot out alive. In this coming war, I am already full of blood, I have shed sweat and blood enough, yet it still s
Chapter 61: Cold Ring“Yes,” I wonder how did it possible. The black-capped man was for sure a threat from Venon. “We should hurry,” I spoke. I was about to shift.“I think we should bring her with us, you can go now, Rina. Thank you very much for your help. She slowly dropped the girl and nodded. “Most welcome, Lady Zenith.” I gave her a nod and looked at Timor then tilted my head to the unconscious girl. He carried the girl in a bridal style. “I think I should go with you,” Rina suddenly suggested. And the girl floated up again. “You are in a hurry; it would be quicker if you carry less.” “Sure.” I shifted-“No need,” Timor said but Rina ignored him. He was left with no choice but to shift too. I led the way. ‘Alpha!’ I couldn’t even see our pack when I heard someone call me. ‘Gunner,’ I answered. ‘Timor, assist her to the guest room, I need to settle something, I guess.’ I changed my route and went to his location. My speed went slower when I realized where I
Chapter 62: Growing Army‘Gilo,’ I answered him through our link.‘They're coming, from the West.’ I instantly jumped off my window and run to the West. I expect the other to know about it. ‘Stay with her, Gunner.’ I told him when I saw him run from the clinic. He snarled before turning back to her. I knew he was itching to lash their throats, but I need to keep her safe. She’d be safer with her mate.They may deny it, but I knew that kind of stare. I once stared like that secretly. I saw Devon, Timor, and Lizo with their army beside me. Soon we smelled their blood and Devon sprinted faster. Timor followed him but Lizo stayed with me. And his army was running around me. ‘Go hide,’ I told him. I hid too and secretly watched them fighting. Gilo was heavily wounded and was Lior. Their number had decreased too. I summoned my bow and arrow when I saw something black above the tree. I did not let it lose my sight until something came out from there. It was glistening thin metal. I
Chapter 63: Mysterious Witch “Like they agreed to fight with us?” Gilo clarified my words and I nodded. “H-how?” “It doesn’t matter, as long as we have their aid, that’ll be enough,” I spoke and all their eyes were on Trigonia. “You know that we can not trust them,” Linda said. “Or you just have a trust issue.” Timor surprisingly spoke. "I know that we can not fully trust them, they were cautious in this war. I only asked for a hundred army, not all of them. I hope I can count on them despite the past tragedy.” Timor was quite surprised by my words. I understand his biased judgment, but he must allot a space of doubt in his head. “How’s the witch we brought?” I asked Timor. “She was still unconscious at the clinic, and I think she’s awake now.” He spoke. “One of my armies reported that she was screaming uncontrollably.” “We should have heard it be now,” Gunner said. “Rina put a spell on her to prevent her from escaping.” “Dismiss, we’ll take care of it.” Linda and Liz
Chapter 64: Bloody Yet Friendly FightI woke up earlier than planned so I went to the field. I knew they had all prepared for this. I heard they went out for private practice and I hope they did not overdo themselves. No one was still here-“Excited for today too?” That was what I thought. I turned around and looked up at the tree. “Of course, I hope you slept enough and are fine.” Devon lay on the branch and used his arm as a pillow. “By any chance, does this initiation, will result to rank changes? Like from Gamma to Beta. Delta to Beta, you know what I mean.” I was aware of his desire to be one of my commands. I understand that he thought he was more suitable for being the Beta. I took a sigh and looked at the wide field while Devon was behind me up on the tree. “Do you think I did a wrong decision, Delta Devon?”“I don’t think you did a wrong decision, I just thought that it was right but there’s maybe a better or even best decision than that.” He answered most gently.
Chapter 65: Destruction Lizo and Devon followed. And Gunner already knew that he’d be fighting with me. I saw no fright or alarmed gesture from him. He was more than willing to fight with me because of what I did to Linda and what I said. As expected, Lizo did not fail me and fought flawlessly. Devon may be experienced enough but he was usually driven by anger and a desire to win. He has always been rough. “Done,” I said after Lizo scratched his arm. I stood up and Gunner was already waiting for me. “Do you want me to shift?” I asked him. “Any form will do.” He said and shifted. I shifted and jumped away when he suddenly attacked. I used my forehead to push him back and it was my turn to attack. I tried to bite his leg, but he used his other foot to claw my head, so I turned to avoid it. ‘Does it hurt your ego?’ I asked him and he jumped to me. ‘You know I hate being played.’ I did not care where he was rooting. He must know his place and take the situation professiona
Chapter 66: Inevitable CuriosityMy eyes suddenly felt watery, and a tear did drop from my left eye. Why am I crying?‘Who was he?’ The question he left me. “Who was he?” Someone said it out loud. All I could do was take a sigh. “How was everyone?” I asked and hid my bow and arrow. “Fine, you?” I did not bother to answer. He could see I am perfectly fine. “Are you going to avoid me just because I like you?” He said carelessly, he did not care that everyone would know his dear feelings towards me. “Why do you think I am avoiding you?” I asked back and heard him walk next to me. “You’d usually answer me casually, unlike now. You are ignoring my question.”“You fix your question before accusing anything.” I hurriedly left him and try to find a private place. Why did I suddenly feel down and sad? Like something hurt inside my heart. Who was he?The cape man tried to steal the she-wolf from Dion’s pack. It was him, but unlike that time he was hiding his face. He was Dion’s
