CHAPTER 57

THE CAVE OF GODS: RIDDLE OF PASSAGE

The entrance to the Cave of the Gods loomed before the emperor and his group. The air had grown heavy with the scent of damp earth and ancient stone. Ahead was a distant echo of dripping water, a waterfall maybe, that was reverberating through the dark cavern. That should be the location of the herb they came searching for.

The cave’s jagged mouth appeared like the gaping mouth of an ancient creature or extinct beast. It was too big to be a creature they knew. But that was to be expected. It was the cave of the gods. The cave entrance did not look like it had been a natural formation etched into the mountainside. However, it seemed like it had been molded and half-hidden by thick vines and moss. But over time, it molded perfectly with the scenery.

They would call it beautiful if it did not threateningly loom over them. There was an edgy feeling. Beyond the mouth of the cave lay something eerie and dangerous. No one knew what awaited them

  • The Lone Wolf   CHAPTER 79

    CHAPTER 79The full moon hung low in the night sky, its light peering through the darkness, piercing through the thick cover of trees like liquid silk. Its ethereal glow was a quiet witness to the atrocity that took place tonight. The gentle howl of the wind and the way the leaves swayed were almost depressing. It was as though the forest mourned. The twigs crunched under the weight of Marcus' foot as his boot made contact with the ground, his steps were heavy and unsettled, but he moved with quick strides. He did not have time to waste. The blood moon would soon be upon them, and on that night, he should have all the items, or everything would have been in vain.Marcus returned with a heavy heart and swirling thoughts that plagued his mind. The magician had given him a potion that he concocted from scratch and that’s what he had poisoned Aaron with. The effect of the poison was more potent than he could ever imagine. Aaron's death almost felt too — easy and he was greatly disappoint

  • 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
