Bethar let out a low agonizing groan from deep within his chest.

He was dragged out of the stream. And the assassin shoved him hard. He almost fell to the ground but he regained his footing in time. As he breathed hard.

Dragged like a petty thief, he was pushed forward, close to a tree.

His eyes widened in panic as the assassin brought out a rope.

Will he be strangled to death? Blood drained from his wrinkled face.

To his shock, he was forced to the tree. Standing behind the tree, the assassin twisted his hand backward and tied his wrist behind the tree.

He tried to wriggle free but it only made the pain worse. He winced. The ropes sliced into his flesh because they were too tight.

Blood was mixed with dirt as it trickled down his hands. His face was blood-smeared and swollen. One eye was nearly closed due to swelling.

His nose was a little crooked from what appeared to be a severe blow and his lips were puffy and cracked.

Dried blood trickled down his neck and stuck to his beard.

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 174; Clash Of Warriors

    As the warriors marched, the sun was hammering down on their faces and armor. A thick silence descended upon the land. Hand-picked from three distinct packs, they were a huge force with a single goal in mind:to destroy Ridgewood. Elder Vulcan's ancient power was a silent threat of destruction and his presence at the head of this powerful army was a commanding weight. But Rylan had no such confidence. He had a deep-seated frown on his face which was a mask for his inner conflict. His thoughts were miles away from the impending conflict as he rode his horse in a rigid stance. The feeling that this was all a huge error persisted in his mind. He kept thinking about Ravena's death, the woman whose actions had started this whole violent tale. She had left. Now what was all of this for? By his side, Tristan was riding next to him. His eyes were bright with a grim excitement and he was carefree. He thought Rylan's anger was almost humorous. With a smirk on Tristan's lips, he asked, “Wh

    “I am highly disappointed at you for your incompetence and lack of strategy,” Vulcan's voice boomed, bouncing off the walls.The room was gripped in silence.Kieran bowed his head in shame, covering his face. “We didn't see it coming,” he tried to explain.“Really? Such foolish words from an Alpha. I thought you were the best man for the job and that's why I assigned you to get the gold pieces,” Vulcan's eyes blazed with intense fury. “But what did you do? You let them steal my gold pieces! I should have your head chopped off!”Kieran clenched his jaw as the harsh words hit him. Leaving him in despair and intense shame.The humiliation left him with a bitter taste in his mouth that was stronger than the pain from his healing wounds. He was aware that there was no excuse; he could provide no justification that would lessen Vulcan's stern glare. He had failed woefully at a task entrusted to him.His failure was total and it came at a high price. There was a tense silence in the room a

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 172; Ridgewood

    The sound of horses' hoof reverberated through the pack. As they came closer to the well-known Ridgewood pack house Selene and her warriors rode hard, the strong legs of their horses hammering the ground. A feeling of relief and achievement permeated the air. The mission was successful. Pulling on her reins, Selene brought her horse to a halt as the pack house appeared. Her boots landed gently on the ground as she dismounted with a graceful leg swing. She was followed by her men all of whom were formidable figures in armor with helmets over their faces. A few of the warriors retreated to the end of the group after Selene gave a pointed signal. Heavy leather bags clinked with a pleasing sound as they started to unstrap them. They were loaded with gold taken from Alpha Kieran and his men.With heavy footsteps, the men dragged the bags to the pack house's entrance. She entered after pushing open the big wooden door. She was welcomed by the cozy fire and the well-known scent of woods

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 171; The Fight

    When the old man who had been standing a few feet away suddenly moved with unusual speed.Kieran was startled.The old man straightened up immediately. And with swift motion, he brought a dagger. The steel flashed in the sunlight.Kieran had no time to react let alone pull out his own weapon. Stunned, he watched as the tiny sharp blade approached. The old man made a viper-like motion. As he lunged forward, Kieran's right knee was deeply pierced by the dagger. Kieran gasped as a searing, sharp pain erupted through his leg. It was a fatal blow. The old man swung the dagger with trained accuracy, cutting Kieran's horse's leg before Kieran could even start to comprehend the pain.The strong horse let out a fearful, high-pitched sound. The weight of the animal caused the leg to give out and buckle. The huge beast moaned horribly and fell sideways, hitting the ground with a heavy crash. With his own leg now badly injured, Kieran was flung violently from the saddle. The air left his lun

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 170; A Trap

    Two weeks later The sun's golden rays shone on the broad dusty road as it stood high in the clear sky that afternoon. Alpha Kieran and his trusted men were on a very important mission. They had a long and difficult journey through the center of the region to get to the Elder's quarters. The only sounds were the creaking of a heavily loaded carriage and the steady thud of hooves on the ground. And the air was heavy with the smell of dry earth and pine. On his strong black horse, Kieran rode as the leader, a dominant presence. He was alert and his gaze was fixed on the surroundings. With grim and determined expressions, his men trailed behind him in a close formation. The sturdy wooden carriage at the center of their convoy was groaning under the weight of their valuable cargo. The gold pieces of the packs were gathered in one location. And the bags of gold pieces inside clinked and moved with each bump in the road. Marcus, the carriage driver, was a young broad-shouldered warrio

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 169; Daemon's Task

    When Daemon left the great hall, the moon was like a silver coin in the dark sky. As it watched over them. Even though the meeting had ended hours earlier he could still hear their conversation ringing in his ears.No shield could compare to the weight of the information he carried. His habit of looking over his shoulder resulted from trying to observe his surroundings.He saw no one behind him and focused on the path ahead.When he left the Elder's quarters, the other warriors, the ones he now walked among as an imposter, hardly looked at him again. They thought he was part of them. And probably leaving for an important task.Their trust served as his shield and they only saw the man in the uniform. He thought of the warrior he had killed, the one whose uniform he was wearing now. A sharp, cold pang of regret tore through him.
