Alice knew she wouldn’t wait long for her son to return so she simply waited while keeping Sab sleeping in her arms.“What happened?”“I suppose she’s too tired. Take her home.”Clyde looked at Sab for a moment before turning to his mother.“When you say home… should I take her back to their house? Or…?”Alice raised an eyebrow. “You plan to take her to your room?”“Wouldn’t it be better? Their empty house would definitely remind her of her loss.”His mother sighed, “You have a point, but there’s no real danger at their house. She would have to face it in order to accept that her mother’s gone. Their memories are there. It wouldn’t just remind her of her loss. It would also remind her of the happy memories she had with her mother.”It was his turn to sigh, “So, I should bring her to their house?”“Yes. I’m sure she would also want to stay there instead of anywhere else.”“Alright.” Clyde accepted it and went to carry Sab.“Careful.” Alice reminded him.He made sure her position is com

She pursed her lips. It’s not that she doesn’t trust the pack to exact revenge against those bastards, but… it’s just not personal to them. And those who experienced actual loss, some continued to mourn, some would feel as she does. Not everyone is feeling as haphazard as she is now. The Alpha would still need to go through a process, to make a plan… she can’t wait for that. And it’s no guarantee they would allow her to be part of it. They might think she would be too emotional for it. They’re not wrong. Right now, it’s as if she has nothing to lose. When she steps out of the territory, she understands the risks. She may die. She may not return. But what matters to her is that she tried. She would avenge her mother.There was another thing that convinced her to act on her own. Her father. When he died, her mom said they didn’t get the revenge she wanted. The attack back then was probably more chaotic than what they recently had. More died from both sides, so…Sab found a trail with a

Thankfully, they were away from the others. He would’ve snapped if anyone saw her nakedness. He tackled her down and she weakly struggled. He already surmised that she’s too tired now, so he risked it.“It’s me, Sab. Listen to me. It’s over. They’re all dead.” Sure, some are still being chased, but they will be as good as gone.Her eyes finally zeroed in on his and she began to relax. She was breathing heavily.Clyde was a witness to how she fought earlier. It was just as he expected. She did better than their monthly evaluations. Having the intent to kill your opponent is probably a moving factor. He kept an eye on her as they decimated any enemy in sight.They have proven their strength. Snow Mountain isn’t to be trifled with. The casualties of that night are simply because it was unexpected. They reacted a few minutes late. And yes, even a few seconds could mean a loss of life. It was something they have to improve upon. They might have to utilize whatever they’re working on in the

He was stunned by her question. What kind of question is that? He sighed before getting up and standing next to her. She briefly glanced up at him before he kneeled to face her. He could see the shock in her eyes and he managed a little smile. Still, he squinted at her. He’s not pleased that she actually threw that kind of question.“What makes you think I don’t?” He reached out and held her hand. He waited until she’s looking at him as well.“Just answer the question.” She pleaded.“I do. I want you. I still want you. And I’ll always want you. Don’t think otherwise. You might think you’re alone, but you’re not. I’m still here, Sab. You have me.” He did think she probably hasn’t absorbed any of his comforting words in the previous days. She was not herself and was just mourning.He squeezed her hand and leaned over to kiss her cheek. When he looked at her eyes again, they were filling with tears. She sniffed as he carefully wiped them away.“Are you okay staying here? Do you want to s

He tried to speak with her but she turned her back and ignored him.He went out and laid on the couch. He couldn’t fall asleep, though. What went wrong? He asked her for a handkerchief. She clarified if he really wants one… it was at this time that her mood changed, right? He sat up and stared on the opposite wall.After a while, he came up with a couple of plausible guesses. Has she given him one before? Has he forgotten? He received a shirt from her on his previous birthday, right? Was there a handkerchief somewhere in there? Did he miss it?After over an hour, he went to check on Sab. When he ascertained that she’s asleep, he carefully went out and walked home. Huh, should he check his wardrobe? What are the odds?When he entered the house, he felt Ice’s presence in the kitchen and he went to see him.His brother raised an eyebrow upon seeing him, “What are you doing here?”“I came to look for something. You’re not sleeping yet?” He asked with a frown, to which Ice smirked at him.
