TAYLOR’S POVI was certain that it was time for me to finally show them all what happened to me when I blacked out. We were all waiting, out hearts beating fast, perspiration on everyone’s brow while they watched the figure emerge from behind the giant rock but the instant we saw what it was we had been waiting for, everyone eased immediately, letting out long exhales.The wolf bowed. It was Eden, the shadow. Oscala did say he had sent him ahead so we weren’t all that surprised that he was the one who had caused the event that made the air dense with the scent of blood.“I waited for all of you but you were slow. I got bored so I took out my boredom on the enemy hiding away in a path that I don’t think any of you know exists. Come with me.” He said. We followed him into the bushes and a little further till we were nearing what seemed to be hole in that ground which lead into a underground compartment.“I don’t know where it will take you to but I have a good feeling it will send y
ZEPHYR’S POVWe buried the wolf under a giant oak tree, beautiful and peaceful. Then we sat at another corner of the tree to map up our next move. Oscala too the duty of waking Taylor. For that he would need to lay her somewhere . Zulu and I put heads tog and in the end, Taylor was lain on the leaves we had gathered to create a makeshift. We gave them a little distance while we drew up a map on the dirt floor. “This is the path from the bridge pas to the Lycan kingdom. I doubt that foolish sorcerer would be expecting us to take the forbidden road however we still have to be prepared incase his people are there.” I plotted, drawing out that line indicating the route.“Once we get there, we will fly under the radar and make it to this house. A certain ally of mine lives here. She is the one person I am certain will not betray me no matter what.”Zulu adds, showing me the direction to follow. “We will need to steal some clothes here. It’s a shelter I made for Lycans who can nearly g
ZEPHYR’S POV“She was hurt, almost but she healed. Very well. I’m shocked how she can heal so well with such a wound.” Oscala said.“Me too.”“We can discuss that later. We need to keep moving. We have no idea of our enemies are still coming.”I nodded, carrying Taylor in my arms again. We made our way towards that pack, in silence, at first but soon we stared to talk. “How long has it been since you last visited that place? That pack?” Zulu asked.“It’s been a while. I don’t think I went through it on the day I left the Lycan kingdom. But I’m sure it still safe. Believe me, I did a good job cleaning up things there. Speaking of getting rid of problems, Oscala why do I feel like you have a good idea of why we were attacked.”He was not responsive at first but eventually he opened up his mouth. “Taylor and you, are the strongest pack there is. Other packs are afraid, worried and are feeling threatened about your existence. I am not surprised that they came after you guys. The rogues

TAYLOR’S POVHe reared a step more, his gaze fixed on me and his fangs all exposed so I could see that I would be crushed in between those jaws.I bet he thought I was still frightened but I wasn’t . I was waiting for hi to take one final step. The closer he was to me, the harder it would be to grab when I slid into the opening.“Here a come Taylor. My apologies my Luna, for any pain I might soon cause you. However I’m just doing my job.” He gloated. In my mind, how words were out pitched by the voice in my head screaming. ‘If he moves, jump. If he moves, jump. If he moves, jump’.Finally he moved. I dived, right to the side, my entire body slipping into the opening and sliding a little.He roared in anger, grabbing the tree and trying to lift it up and throw it away. I crawled, fester then I had been done on my life, moving at the speed of god-knows-how fast, towards the small exit in the hollow tunnel created by the tree. I noticed that the hole slipped down. Probably there was a
TAYLOR’S POVMy body began to tremble, like I was a cold wet rat. I couldn’t move a muscle even when I god-damned as hell knew I should. It was the fear pinned me to the ground and I couldn’t even think. That footsteps came again, coming closer. My heart skipped a thousand beats, survival instincts setting in immediately. I rose off the ground, slowly. My head down and my back bent. To be honest I did not know what exactly I wanted to do, I just had to act and fast.Immediately that thought hit me, the next thing I heard was a growl; low but unnerving. It was so close. Too close to just sit out for. I grit my teeth, breathing slowly, stepping with extra care . Slowly I was moving away. Whatever it was they was behind me,, felt like it was going away. I could see a path up head, I just needed to climb up a small slop.I took one step. A terrible wrong step. My foot crushed a branch.I froze, my eyes widening immediately. I was no longer breathing.I felt the figure behind me turn its
