CHAPTER 39

The streets on the outskirts of the West were desolate and deserted. Most of the survivors abandoned their homes and went deeper in. Their properties and their goods lay around in shambles. There were dried bloodstains on the ground, and although there were no bodies, the property damage bore testament to the destruction that had occurred.

The state of things looked worse than in the reports. But then again, reports could never hold the weight of their suffering. Reading about it or hearing about it was a lot better than seeing or experiencing it firsthand.

I will return your homes and livelihoods, Richard swore. The men Aaron dispatched to the West had arrived, and it was the empty streets and destroyed buildings that welcomed them.

So far, there was no proof of life, just the empty, blood-stained streets. “We need to go further into the territory,” Richard said to the warriors.

After walking for an unknown period, they got closer to pack lands, thank the gods. It was a

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 78

    CHAPTER 78Aaron and Marcus spent the night after Ophelia’s disappearance looking for more information on the missing rogues and figuring out how far back the recruitments started. However, at some point, Aaron lost focus.He could feel the hum of their bond, so he knew she was still alive, but being so far away from her was taking its toll on him. He had dispatched warriors to search every expanse of land on their territory, and there was still no report. The next morning, all the guards he had deployed returned with the same news. Ophelia was not in the north. “Get ready, we’re going to see the Oracle,” Aaron said to Marcus with barely restrained rage. If anyone knew anything or had the slightest idea where Ophelia was likely taken, it would be the oracle. It took everything in him not to shift and go on a rampage, and that was him showing restraint and self-control. He had erred one too many times by his lack of control, and he did not want to risk losing his mate again due to be

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 77

    CHAPTER 77The upper rim of the sun began to make its appearance on the horizon. Ophelia and Leon were roused from their sleep by the rising sun while Ethan remained unconscious. His breathing was steady and getting stronger, but they needed to take him to get proper treatment from the healers. Traveling with an injured man was inconvenient, and they could barely cover much ground daily. Richard sat across from them, staring intently at Ethan as though looking at him would hasten his recovery and get them home sooner. His attention was drawn to Ophelia as she stirred from sleep and approached him hesitantly. Though he was impressed by her strength and effort while they fought the half-bloods, he was still perplexed by how she got there and why she risked herself like that. They may not have successfully escaped from the half-bloods with their lives and with minimal injuries had it not been for Ophelia’s intervention. Not only did she fight valiantly, but her knowledge of the South p

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 76

    CHAPTER 76It was the dead of the night when Richard and Leon snuck into the temple. It was the temple, Nick explained to them. This was the temple Ryan discovered and wrote about in his letter to Ophelia. They would need to return to this temple to find out more about what was going on, but for now, they needed to focus on the mission, and that was rescuing Ethan. They blended seamlessly with the darkness and walked stealthily through the narrow hallway. They did not need lights as their heightened senses allowed them to perceive their surroundings with ease. It was almost too easy. Richard anticipated a level of resistance or guards to evade, but there was no one. The lack of half-bloods was unnerving. They trudged through the hallway with bated breaths, ready for anything. It could be an ambush they were walking into, and they couldn’t be too safe. They walked a reasonable distance before they saw the silhouette of a man sprawled out on the ground. There were several chains latch

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 75

    CHAPTER 75Although Richard hesitated initially, he went with Leon to the south after much deliberation. He could not risk the life of his men, so he sent them back to the North. It was something he needed to do alone, and from the look of things, if it was a trap, it was better to fall into it alone. It was a noble but foolish decision, but the best he could think of at the time. The news of Lucien’s demise came as a shock to him. It filled him with rage, and he couldn’t wait to get to the South to unleash his fury on whichever half-bloods that would cross their path. He barely said anything as they traversed the woods. He was completely on alert. He did not let his guard down even for a moment. No sound went undetected by him in the forest. He was on the lookout for anything and everything that could be harmful. “You mentioned a relic,” Richard stated as he confirmed they were alone while they found a resting place. “Yes,” Leon nodded with furrowed brows in thoughtful contemplati

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 74

    CHAPTER 74 Richard and his men had just finished with the half-bloods when a cloaked figure emerged from the tree line. The figure looked bloodied as though it had fought its way there. The wolves crouched lower and growled, ready to pounce. The figures stopped some distance away and lifted up their hands in surrender. This did not ease the heart of the threatened warriors, who still had the adrenaline from battle thumping in their veins. They growled even louder but made no move to attack. It was unethical to attack someone in such a manner, so all they did was growl and stare intently, waiting for one wrong move so they could justify their actions. “Richard, I need to speak with you.” The cloaked figure called from a distance. It was quite far, but Richard recognized the voice in an instant. It was the voice of the man they had spent weeks looking for. The traitor in their camp, Leon. Richard was impressed by his audacity to show his face to him after all that he had done. If t

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 73

    CHAPTER 73The moment Cade's skull broke and Cayla saw life fading out of his eyes, something inside of her was shattered. The walls she erected to be able to function crumbled, and a wave of guilt overtook her. She wanted to cry out and scream, but she couldn’t as her neck was grasped tightly by the emperor, who looked to her with a satisfied smile. Her mind was failing to comprehend what she had just witnessed. Her heart was thumping wildly in her chest. Everyone and everything she had ever loved had already died or was now dying before her eyes. They were supposed to be the victors in this battle, not the victims. But now it was like she had led a herd of sheep to their slaughter. “Look at what you've done to all these people. Leading them to an untimely demise. What a waste of life.” The emperor chastised her as he forced her to look at the dead bodies sprawled about. “I am done playing games with you. It’s about time you unite with your dead family. Do you want to know how they
