"Beta, we have an urgent situation I would like to report to you." Erik bowed and informed Cassie whose mind was far away.Ashina followed Hrolf's huge frame down the hallway towards his study. She laced her hands together behind her, wondering why he had called her again.Was this the reason he was searching for when he called her the first time? Had he found it? She hoped that whatever it was, he released her as soon as possible so she could go back to meet Gael. She missed him a lot.She let out a soft breath as he led her into the big office. She closed the door after her and whirled around to wait for him.Hrolf circled his desk, taking in her slender figure in one gaze. He pushed the chair back and sat on it watching her rove her eyes around his study.Ashina couldn't stop herself from taking in the beautiful spacious study. His study was ornately furnished with the finest of wood, richly carved in a style.The large windows were open to let the air cool the room and the light f
"Let's go." Hrolf rushed out of his study with Cassie trailing after him.As he dashed to they ran down the stairs, he wondered why they had a breach again. He rushed to the labyrinth. It was dark but almost immediately a familiar sight greeted them. About ten wolves circled the place. Hrolf gritted his teeth, soaking in their figures."Make sure one of them is caught." Hrolf commanded his guards."Yes." They echoed.Cassie signaled to the guards and they nodded, blocking the Pack's entrance from the intruders.The intruders let out a howl and attacked. Three of them had been captured and they were not happy, which was why they wanted to fight back.Hrolf's eyes glowed as he transformed into a wolf. He ran towards one of them and sunk his sharp fingertips into his neck. It didn't take long until Hrolf finally managed to kill one of the wolves who let out a Yelp before breathing his last.Hrolf looked around at the rest of his guards and nodded in satisfaction. They had already taken
Ashina couldn't believe that Hrolf would want her to sign the document and subject herself to slavery. Doing that would give him power over her.Satisfied with her cleaning, she scanned the sparkling-clean pantry before she walked out of the room.Ashina paused in her tracks, gripping the banister tight when she heard voices coming from the top floor. She contemplated if eavesdropping on them was a good idea.Her curiosity got the better part of her as she swirled around on the staircase towards Hrolf's study where the noise was coming from. "I can't believe he escaped."Ashina frowned when she heard Hrolf speaking. He sounded so angry and it made her heart thump with unease."Are you sure he was there?" She heard him ask."He was there. I am very sure." Ashina recognized the female voice. It was Cassie's."Then it doesn't make sense! He had no reason to escape! He didn't even know we were coming.""I can't believe we failed." Ashina stumbled back when she heard Hrolf hit the wall i
"Who could have informed Ramon that I was coming for him?" Hrolf thought as he paced his room.He paused, racking his brain, trying to come up with an answer to the question he had racked his brain over and over again. But he couldn't think of an answer, he tapped his legs on the ground.He suddenly thought of Cassie, she was the one who knew where Ramon stayed, could she have warned him?He sighed and sat on the bed. It was late at night and she would be asleep. It would be better to quiz her as he liked tomorrow. Moreso he was tired. He laid back in bed to sleep.*******"Erik!!" Hrolf barked from his office.Erik knocked the office door lightly, before opening it."Yes Alpha." Erik replied."Call me Cassie." Hrolf ordered."She will be here in a moment." Erik said and swirled around to do his bidding as fast as possible.Erik walked out of the house squinting his eyes. The early morning sun shimmered in the blue sky, illuminating the earth. He strolled towards the end of the Pack w
Hrolf stared at the guard's body laid over the slab in his morgue. His hands vibrated with anger because although he had run after the figure he saw, he couldn't catch up with it.A myriad of emotions swept through him. Why were strange things happening in his Pack? He was confused."Alpha, everyone is gathered." A guard walked in to inform him."I will be there soon." Hrolf turned to leave the room.He opened the door, and everyone was already there, he greeted them and they did the same, and took a seat. He could see how sad they looked, they just lost another guard. Although they were trying not to show it.It was hard for them. He lost a member of his pack again, he was tired of the frequent deaths.He didn't want another guard or anyone else dying, he had to try hard to keep calm."We need to be careful, we don't know if they'll attack again. To that effect, I will start patrolling outside with you all every night" He added and the guards nodded their heads."Where's Cassie?" He
Ramon frowned slightly because he knew why Cassie had that look on her face. She was the culprit. But he wasn't going to let her take the fall. Instead, he was ready to do so for her. Memories of their time spent together ran through his mind and he shook his head to wipe them away. Hrolf turned his gaze from Ramon to Cassie wondering what they were doing. Did they have a secret way of communicating with them? He wondered but he smiled when he recalled their past.He walked in large strides toward his chair at the head of the table."Cassie," He called."Yes, Alpha," "Did you find anything of interest while you were at the stable?" He questioned.Cassie moved forward and threw the arrow which had been collected on the table." Here," she pointed out at the arrow."Zeeb," Ramon murmured under his breath. Hrolf squinted his eyes wondering if he could talk audibly."What did you say?"He questioned Ramon. Cassie threw a glance at Ramon, pulsing her lips. She hoped and prayed Ramon wou
Ramon threw a glance at Cassie as he was being dragged away. This wasn't what he was expecting but he was being punished for what he knew nothing about.Hrolf's voice rang through his mind and he wondered if defending Cassie was worth it. He took a last glance at Cassie as the door was shut against his face."This isn't right, you don't even have proof against him," Cassie pointed out. Hrolf scoffed wondering if she wasn't being foolish. If she was sensible she should have known this was a trap and she was walking right in. "Why do you say so? As far as I am concerned Ramon is the only one who knows anything about the arrow and he said something about them being extinct do you know anything about the arrow?" He questioned. " No, Alpha," Cassie answered with her head bowed to the ground.She was gnashing her teeth and wondering what had just happened in the few minutes she was gone. She had searched all through for Erik who she thought would be sleeping in his room but that wasn't t
