"What's on your mind, Ms. Barnes?" Mondrei asked when he noticed Lany's strange gesture as if she wanted to stab him now with the dagger she was holding.
Lany didn't answer. She moved closer to Mondrei instead and tried to stab him with the dagger. But he was too fast and immediately grabbed her hands and snatched the dagger from her.
Mondrei's soldiers were immediately alarmed and about to approach them to stop Lany from attacking him, but he immediately stopped them as he could easily handle her.
"I just told you, Ms. Barnes, that this dagger contains poison and it's very dangerous. So you shouldn't be playing with it," Mondrei said in a calm voice. Then he let go of Lany's hand and handed her the dagger again.
"I
"I told you not to come near me!" Lany said in a hard voice, but she still couldn't help but keep shedding tears.Jeric couldn't move and looked like a statue from where he was standing while staring at Lany. He could see in her eyes the hardship and fear she was feeling. That it seemed like she needed to do something but there's holding her back.The moment she pointed the dagger at him, he thought that it had something to do with him. And the worst case is that she has to kill him. And whoever told her to do it, that's what he didn't know. One thing that's for sure is that one of his enemies approached her and told her something to hypnotize her."What's really going on, Lany? Come on. You can tell me. Trust me, for me to help you," Jeric said seriously as he really wants
The guards immediately took Jeric to the camp of the New Moon Pack and got treated by their personal doctor. Chadrick also arrived immediately after he received a report about what happened to Jeric.He went straight to the camp's hospital where Jeric was being treated. He immediately saw Mrs. Jones who was feeling so worried and Mr. Jones who seemed to have an unpaintable face.When Mrs. Jones saw him, she immediately approached him and held him on both shoulders."They said Lany Barnes and Mondrei did this to my son," Mrs. Jones said in a hard voice, obviously controlling the anger she was feeling. "Do everything you can to catch them and bring them to me. I want them to suffer for what they did to Jeric.""Yes, M
Chadrick almost couldn't believe what he saw in the video he watched that was captured by CCTV. That Lany Barnes was the one who stabbed Jeric in the chest using a dagger with poison in it."How could Lany Barnes do it? Despite all the kindness, Jeric has shown her and all the help he gives her, this is what she will repay him," Chadrick said full of resentment.Then Edlyn suddenly spoke when she noticed something in the video."Look, Chadrick. Is it Mondrei who suddenly appeared in the video?" Edlyn immediately said and she even tapped Chadrick lightly on the shoulder to get his attention.Chadrick watched the video again and was even more surprised by what he saw.
"You told me that you're going to give me my parents and let us live together quietly if I stab Alpha Jeric with a poisoned dagger," Lany said in a hard voice again when she heard no answer from Mondrei.Mondrei faced Lany with his serious face. But even before he could answer her, she immediately spoke again."And I also didn't forget what you said that you never broke with your words," Lany continued."Yeah, I said that and I'm going to keep that, Ms. Barnes. So, don't worry," Mondrei said when he got a chance to speak."Then why are you just leaving? I'm not a fool, Mondrei. We're still inside your territory even though it's a bit far from the center of the camp. And I know that we can't get out of here easily."
"Don't be scared. You're safe now," a male voice said, who provided Lany with the protection she needs and temporarily removed the fear she was feeling. He even gently caressed her head, which was soaked in the rain, to comfort her and let her know that she was not alone in that forest.Lany tried to open her eyes again and lift her face when she heard that familiar voice.She wanted to confirm who it was but the sky released a loud thunder again together with the lightning. She can't open her eyes and just tightened her embrace to him even more instead. She felt so scared thinking that she might get struck by lightning or that whoever she was embracing, which served as her protection against thunder and lightning might suddenly leave her.The man didn't move and stayed in h
Dylan slowly stood up after the leader of the group approached him. He faced him and at the same time, he's observing what the others around him might do to him."I'm Dylan Jones, a friend of your leader Mondrei Basco," Dylan introduced himself in a calm voice. "I just need to get something inside the Mariano Forest, that's why I'm here.""I am Ramil, the one who's guarding the Mariano Forest," the group leader introduced himself as well. "Don't you know that Mariano Forest is sacred and Alpha Mondrei strictly forbids anyone to enter?""Didn't you hear what I said?" Dylan replied in a hard voice as he didn't like what the group leader said. "I said, I am a friend of your leader, Mondrei Basco." There's an emphasis on every word he says in front of Ramil.
"What do you mean by what you said that I should know?" Lany asked seriously after she heard what her mother said.Mrs. Barnes gave her daughter a serious look as she faced her and then she began to speak."The attack that Mondrei did to our camp was part of the war that was going on between our pack and Night Walkers Pack," Mrs. Barnes seriously said."A war?" Lany asked, still wondering."We didn't tell you about that thing on purpose as we want you to live quietly and not think about the threat of the war that was going on. We believed that it wouldn't last long and will end soon. But it turned out that we were wrong," Mrs. Barnes continued."What do you mean? I don't understand you, Mom," Lany said, still wondering and barely understands what her mother was saying."Listen carefully to me, Lany," Mrs. Barnes said seriously as she held the hands of her daughter. "There was a reason why Mondrei attacked our camp. He did it not because he just thought of doing it or he wanted to show
When the rain stopped, Dylan didn't waste more time and immediately took steps to find the herb called Wolf's Tail that would help his brother Jeric recover.Mariano Forest is vast and he doesn’t know where to find it. Fortunately, he knew what that herb looked like.As he began to search for it, he barely felt as if someone was following him. Then he remembered what the guard of the boundary of this forest told him, that there was a Goddess who was guarding the natural resources of this forest. That's why this place is sacred and no one is allowed to enter this forest.They have beliefs that when someone touches something here in the forest, he or she will definitely experience the revenge of the Goddess who is guarding this forest.Even though Ramil told him about it seriously and seemed realistic, he just considered it as bullshit. The truth is, he doesn’t care who the Goddess that's guarding this forest is. He is ready to face and fight him, ad long as he gets what he needs in thi
