EmeryThe first thing that I felt upon waking up was coldness. Then it was followed by pain. Amelia poured ice-cold water over my head and slapped me awake. I tried to cup the painful area on the back of my neck, but my hands were restrained with metal chains.I looked around the room and saw Dante and Karina huddled over a corner, tied together with a rope. I glanced at the other side of the room and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Devyn was resting in Noah’s arms.Noah looked at me apologetically while stroking Devyn’s hair. I could see Devyn’s tear-stricken face from here, and I wanted to comfort him. I tried to break free from the metal chains once again, but they were attached to the house’s posts.I heard Amelia chuckling beside me. “Aww, can’t do anything, huh? It’s so satisfying to see you in the palm of my hands, Emery.”I mustered my most heated glare and looked at her. “Amel

Emery “Dad?” The chained man turned around, and I broke into tears. He really is dad! I ran to where he was and held his wounded face in my hands. “Dad? Dad? It’s me.” I said while trying to get him back to his right state of mind. It seems like they have given him some kind of drug that made him lose all of his senses. His eyes were blank, but he was panting very loudly. “Water! Give him water.” I looked everywhere in the room but found no traces of water or food. Tears continued to stream from my eyes after I saw that my father’s ribs can be seen through his skin. “Fuck! What the fuck! You guys are fucking sick. I’m going to kill all of you!” I screamed while trying to get to Kamala and strangle her with the chains. But she just held my hand in place and threw me to the ground. I hit the floor in frustration. Fuck! I can’t even beat her. I can’t even do anything for my father. I stopped trying to attack her when my father started

Kairo“Have you filed the war request to The Apex?” I asked Dalton, who was the one assigned with all of the paperwork in the upcoming war.“I have,” he nodded. “They were quite hesitant at first because they were worried for our safety. Although they don’t support The Council, they’ve never been able to bring them down because, let’s face it, man! The Council’s incredibly strong. If you weren’t our Alpha, then I’m pretty sure that we don’t have a single chance of winning this war.”I nodded my head, “That’s why we have to be very careful. If we lose this war, then all of the Blood Shadow pack will be under The Council’s name, and our pack would cease to exist.”He sighed, “That’s what I’m afraid of. But I’ve already accepted that we’re going to win this battle. I ain’t settling for a loss, Kairo.”“Y

Emery“Well, that was quick,” I said as I kicked the door open. “I could have done this yesterday if there weren’t so many guards in front of our door.”We went out of the room and saw the trembling faces of the rare-bloods. Almost all of them were covering their noses in fear of inhaling the gases. When they saw us, however, they suddenly backed away and assumed a fighting stance.“Don’t worry, calm down. We’re not here to hurt you. We’re the ones in the room next door, and we’re here to release you,” I said while subtly moving closer to them.They started putting their guard down as I opened their door. They hesitated to go out, but I made sure to keep them comfortable. “It’s okay. You can come out. The guards aren’t here right now, and Kamala is busy with the war upstairs.”“T—the war?” The young girl asked meekly. I clenched my fists in a

EmeryAfter finding out that Kamala was pregnant, Kairo still wanted to push through with his plan. However, I talked some sense into him and said to him that the child doesn’t have any fault in all of this. He or she is just like Arlo and Devyn at this point.Since I compared Kamala’s child with our children, his heart softened, and he postponed her punishment just until she gives birth. He also said something along the lines of, “It’ll also become much more painful if I take her child away from her.”Kairo kept his word and never harmed Kamala during her pregnancy. He even had Dante facilitate her labor. However, his kindness ended at that. After the daughter was born, Kairo took her from Kamala and turned her over to Cy, who was now the leader of Kvenland village.In a span of one month, Kairo would always go down to the dungeons and come up with bloody clothes. I don’t really know what he did to her in that month an
