LOGINChapter 102
As soon as we entered Lucas’s territory, everything seemed quiet, though some weredogs were patrolling, we quickly hid behind the corner of a wall, from that spot, we could see a hallway ahead.“Come on, let’s follow this way,” Zion whispered, moving cautiously, I slipped behind him, matching his careful steps.We moved quickly but steadily and silently. We didn’t want to get caught or make any noise that could raise an alarm.The hallway was somewhat dark, but we could still see our way clearly enough.I sniffed the air, trying desperately to catch my mom’s scent, but there was nothing…she was probably still far from where we were.“Is there an end to this corridor?” Army whispered, his voice barely audible.Zion pointed toward a distant glow. “Yeah, I can see a light at the far end. It’s still a bit away, though.”“Anyway, let’s keep going,” I said, stepping ahead and leading them through the shadowed passage. “We need to get there beforBy the time we finally got inside the cave, the place was quiet.Zion lay on the smooth stone floor near the inner chamber, his back resting against the cave wall. His breathing was slow and even, the kind that only came with deep sleep. Linda was curled up beside him, her head resting on his shoulder, her fingers lightly gripping his shirt like she felt safe there.At first glance, they looked like two people who had simply fallen asleep.But then I noticed the light.A soft cloud almost mist-like hovered around them, wrapping them both, glowing softly in silver and gold, It felt warm and comforting, like the space itself was protecting them. I stopped walking without realizing it.“What is that?” I whispered.Ms. Joyce stopped beside me and looked at the glow around them, after a moment, she smiled softly, like she understood something I didn’t.“The energy is coming from Linda,” she said softly. “She’s healing and growing stronger.”I stared a
“Bryain, are you okay? I heard what happened,” my father said the moment he saw me.Before I could reply, his gaze shifted to Zion. Zion lowered his head slightly, and almost instantly, a few warriors stepped forward, they surrounded him and dragged him back toward the pack grounds.“How’s my mom?” I asked Army as soon as I got the chance.“She’s fine,” Army replied calmly. “We arrived safely, she’s resting now.”We soon returned to the pack, back to where everything began.*****The laws of Rocky Pack hadn’t changed.A traitor gets judged the same as anyone else, no matter who they are or what they’ve done before.“As you all know,” I went on, keeping my voice steady even though my chest felt like it was being crushed, “Zion turned on us, he has been working with the enemies under our nose… Yeah, he saved my life later, but that doesn’t erase what he did first, he betrayed the pack and got some of our own people killed.”The hall went dead q
Everywhere was dark now, night had fallen.I sat inside the cell, my back against the cold bars, outside, a few guards stood watch, they looked tired, bored. After a while, two of the guards moved toward a corner of the room and lay down on the floor. They used their cloaks as pillows and didn’t bother hiding their exhaustion. Only one guard remained standing, leaning against the wall, his eyes half-closed as he struggled to stay awake.I watched everything quietly, not daring to move.Then footsteps echoed softly.Zion walked in.My body stiffened, but I stayed still, it’s not like I was expecting anything.Zion approached the remaining guard with an easy stride, like this was normal, like he belonged here…maybe he actually does.“Hey,” Zion said casually. “You’re still awake?”The guard lifted his head slowly and squinted at him. “Yeah,” he muttered. “I was told to stay up. We’re taking turns.”He pointed toward the corner where the ot
“I will give you two options,” Lucas said coldly. And you will pick just one option.He stepped forward slightly.Option one: your mother and the friend beside you will be freed and they will leave immediately, unharmed but tomorrow, at daybreak you will be killed.Option two: accept your fate and fight me, If you lose, the three of you will die here today.I quickly looked at my mom,she shook her head over and over, tears falling freely and her eyes were ruined with fear and pain.“Bryain, don’t listen to him,” Army whispered behind me, his voice shaking.But I already knew the truth.I couldn’t let my mom or anyone else die because of me.Taking a deep breath, I lifted my head.“Okay,” I said. “I choose option one.” I raised my voice so Lucas would hear me clearly.“Bryain, that’s a wrong choice,” Army cried. “You should have agreed to fight him.”“No,” I said softly but firmly. “Army, take my mom home with you, don’t worry about me, I’l

~Bryain~“Bryain, I asked you a question!”My father shouted, stepping closer to us, his voice echoed through the room, heavy with authority and fear. I knew there was no way I could hide it now.Taking a steady breath, I turned to face him and told him everything and every detail, every plan, right down to how I intended to save Mom.“No, Bryain that’s too risky,” he snapped. “Endangering your life is the same as endangering every single member of this pack. Lucas has killed many werewolves who aren’t on his side and the only ones still breathing are those he protects that are on his side.”He pointed at me, his eyes blazing. “And you are the only one who can end this chaos, I will not let you walk straight into the enemy’s hands…over my dead body will I let you go.”“Dad, we can’t all go there,” I said firmly. “If Lucas finds out, it will look like we’re starting a war and we’re not ready for one…Mom said it herself that there are countless werewo
