Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Ebony ended up as one of the wolves to enter the Wight’s Den and search through it for the Wight and its servants. The space was dark, rough, and tight. This place appeared at first sight as a location to fight in. She couldn’t figure out how they’d get the thing out and defeat them all at once. But her mother claimed she had a plan to fix it. Ebony wasn’t sure if it would work and when she said something to that affect her mother stated it will work if we can pull them to this entrance. Her mother admitted if there were other entrances, then it might not work completely. But she claimed it would be odd for such a place like this to have more than one entrance. She’d never heard of it occurring. For that, Ebony felt grateful. Now, with powerful lights and weapons in hand, they stalked the tiny space that acted as a tunnel or corridor. But really, it looked like a natural crack in the ground, which didn’t make her feel any more confident about entering it. Crevices like this could eas

It only took a moment for everyone to stop and turn to Ebony. Another to realise what had her screaming, and by the third moment, they were responding to the problem.Magnus and Con were the first to jump into action. Benedict was not far behind them. Franco pulled the distraught Ebony away from the entrance before she could give chase.She went into action beside her father, preparing to do battle with anything that came out of the tunnel. But Ebony didn’t miss the fact, even in the frantic state she was in, that no one assured Peter would be alright.“Con will sort this out, Ebony. We’ll find out what happened. The space is tight and the fewer people going in will make fighting easier.” Franco tried to reason as others followed the three into the burial cave. “I heard him stumble, but I didn’t hear him fall. He was right behind me. We were so close to the entrance. There weren’t any side tunnels. How could anything have caught him we all didn’t see or heard?” He’s got to be safe. M

Ebony’s mother worked hard and fast to stop the bleeding and anything else going on with Peter. Benedict hovered over Ebony’s shoulder and Franco had pulled her back, so her mother had room to work on Peter.“Did anyone figure out how he got separated from us in there? Benedict? Con? Anyone?” Ebony asked Benedict, never taking her eyes from Peter. “Are you alright?”“I’m fine. Now, as far as I can tell inside the burial chambers, there’s more than dead bodies. The wight has stored its servants in some of them. Somehow, we woke one up and it went after Peter. He’s been gouged badly, and I think the thing drained his life before we found them.” Benedict reported to Ebony as he watched her mother treat Peter’s wounds.“What do you mean? Did we walk right past the crypts? How? I don’t remember any bodies.” Ebony didn’t remember seeing any coffins, bodies, or bones. She didn’t remember any niches either.“Magnus found a recently opened niche in the wall. It was at ground level and in the

Franco lay there as Benedict disappeared into the cave again. No once commented, but the air was thick with tension as Con, Ran, Magnus, Stone, and Flint went ahead of Benedict on the hunt for the wight. “I should go with them, Howard. They might need my skills.” Jane said to her mate. She feared the power of this creature because the information on these things was so incomplete. “Oh no. You are not running into the dragon’s den blindly, Jane. Because you’re needed out here more. You must do everything you can for Peter, or we will deal with three mourning wolves. They’ve partially bonded already.” “Howard.” Jane stopped speaking. Howard looked into her pained eyes. He knew what that look meant. She’d withheld something from someone. When she did that, it never boded well. She pulled him aside and made sure no one listened in or watched them. “There’s nothing more I can do here for him. It’s too late.” Her words made barely

The flamethrowers activated pretty much at the same time. With short bursts from different flamethrowers, they bathed the wight in fire. Benedict prayed to the Goddess and several other gods in the pantheon that this would work. He might not worship them directly, but he respected their existence as he did the Moon Goddess herself. The creature screamed breaking the eerie silence as it backed away from one wolf for another wolf to hit it with their flame. Clearly the wight didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Benedict could only think that this might be the first time this creature ever saw fire like this. “Flint, keep it from the water. Drive it away. Keep it from the water and walls.” Magnus ordered. Ran and Con snapped at the wight from a safe distance. Snarls rang out from everyone including the wight. They bounced off the walls of the large space. Its screams became anguished quickly. But it took several precious minutes for the proof
