After My Childhood Friends Tricked Me Into a Death Trail Chapter 9
Lillian's POV:When the training trial ended, I said goodbye to the friends I'd made in Thornwood, who hated to see me go, and returned to Moonfrost.The wolves who came to meet me filled almost the entire dock. The snow had melted, and wet paving stones reflected the moving crowd.A she-wolf even pushed her way to the front with her newborn pup. She asked me, a Moonfrost warrior, to bless it with a touch to its head.Without thinking, I scanned the crowd. Those three faces weren't there.That night, I went straight to Elder Kane's house. Steam filled the kitchen, the oven hummed, and the windows were fogged white."Lamb chops and pumpkin pie. My specialties."Elder Kane tossed a towel over his shoulder and smiled. "The sauce is still my grandmother's secret recipe."While he cooked, he brought it up as if it were nothing."Lillian, there are plenty of positions open for you in the Moonfrost Pack."I swallowed a mouthful of strong ale, set down my glass, and shook my head."I want to g

Lillian's POV:As the three-month training trial drew to a close, I'd gone from an outsider in training to Dean's second-in-command.As the blizzards eased, I called Elder Kane on the satellite phone to share the good news.But before I could say anything, a tired, hoarse voice came from the other end."Lillian, Payton, Garrett, and Elvin... we've lost contact with them."I frowned. "Lost contact? Did you check with the shipping line they booked with? Or their insurance company?"I didn't see why he sounded so panicked.Elder Kane sighed."After you left that day, the harbor froze over. They didn't want to wait for it to thaw, so they went overland."I turned to the map on the wall.Mountains, forests, and swamps lay between Moonfrost and Thornwood, marked in brown and green. On the map, they spanned only a hand's width. On foot, though... I didn't know if the three of them could make it.Before, I would've panicked and immediately started asking around.But now I had a calmer, more ma

Lillian's POV:Life in the Thornwood Pack was even harder than I'd imagined. The air always smelled of rotting mud, decaying leaves, and blood.The moment I set foot on Thornwood territory, a group of wolves surrounded me at the harbor. They shifted into wolf form and forced me to pick a side.I sided with Dean. On the ship, he'd already traded me all the information I needed for a promise to join him.One night, heavy snow knocked out the power. We sat around the fireplace, keeping warm with the last of the firewood as sparks flew.Dean flushed as he handed me a plate of black bread, his jaw tight. "Do you regret coming to Thornwood?"It was rare to see him this shy. I shook my head."No. And I don't want to go back to Moonfrost."I picked up the black bread, hard as a rock, and chewed as if it were nothing. The sour tang of overfermented dough filled my mouth. "I'm doing great here."It was true. Since coming to Thornwood, I'd had to shift and fight even when there was no full moon h

Third-person POV:Outside, snow kept falling. The streetlights came on one by one, shining over the jumbled footprints the three of them had left behind.Elvin rushed to the Grand Elder's house. It was dark except for one dim porch light.Garrett pounded on the door until it shook, but nobody answered.Payton scanned the street, his face grim. After a moment, he sighed. "Let's go straight to the docks."Elvin still hadn't heard back from Lillian through the mind-link, so he gave a reluctant nod.Just then, Ford, the Grand Elder's butler, drove up. His headlights cut through the snow as he stopped in front of the house.The three of them crowded around him immediately.Garrett slapped the car window, anger burning in his chest. "You sent Lillian away? How could you, when things are so bad in Thornwood?"Ford narrowed his eyes.Once he saw who they were, he sighed and pulled up an email on his phone. "The night she turned in the form, the Grand Elder heard rumors and emailed the whole pa

Third-person POV:Elvin stood at the foot of the stairs, checking his watch and tapping his foot. He smelled of whiskey and looked furious. The colored lights on the stair railing flashed across his face.The wolves at the party left one by one. June lounged on the sofa, saying lazy goodbyes.But Lillian still hadn't shown up.Payton brought June a plate of macarons to cheer her up. "Even if Lillian's throwing a fit and won't come for the photos, we promise she'll give you that ruby herself."Garrett was about to run upstairs to get Lillian when the front door burst open. Wind and snow swept in, making the silver balloons sway."Pack news," said the mail carrier at the door, holding up a newspaper."Leave it on the dining table. Help yourself to a tip." Elvin didn't even look up, and Garrett started back toward the stairs.The mail carrier grinned. "Elder Kane says none of you have checked his emails, so he asked me to read you the news when I delivered the paper."The pack council has

I got up slowly and went back to my room alone. Nobody stopped me or said a word. June's colored lights blinked along the stair railing.Still clutching the painting, I drifted off to sleep.When I woke, dawn had barely broken. Elvin sat by my bed, his expression tense, dabbing medicine onto my cut palm with a cotton ball.A flicker of nerves crossed his face, and he avoided my eyes."June said you didn't mean it," Garrett explained, looking down. Then he nudged Payton with his elbow.Payton nodded and added, "We'll find someone to restore the painting."From start to finish, none of them said sorry.I pulled my hand back and said coldly, "I'll do it myself. Get out!"But they didn't move."Lily, stop being unreasonable." Payton already sounded impatient."Get out!"Elvin set down the cotton ball, raised both hands, and backed out with the other two. "Fine! Just make sure you put the medicine on."On the way out, Payton slammed the door hard enough to shake the room. I knew exactly how
