Semua Bab My True Mate: Bab 181 - Bab 190

“The Hunter’s Association?” For a minute there, Nelson looks confused and then his expression tightens, “You mean the legendary Hunters? They hunt our kind.”“They don’t,” Sarah says. “At least, not these ones. They are spreading word of the Order, trying to gather allies. From what I understand, the Order is trying to create its own army of Shifters, those it has managed to corrupt. They are using children to train them into subservient soldiers. They want to rule over us all, a select few at the top. Most of the vampires and necromancers are working with them.”“I’ve already dealt with two of them,” Aliya adds. “But there are definitely more. Although necromancers prefer traveling alone but they are known to join forces when needed. And they are definitely more in this case.”“We need to increase our numbers,” Sarah says, heavily. “With the vampires ability to create these morphed creatures who are battle hardened and the necromancers ability to create toxic zombie like

Sarah falls silent and this pain is a living thing inside of me, “Enough of this. I may love you but it’s starting to become clear to me that whatever love you once had inside of me, I destroyed myself. I don’t hold you accountable for how you feel about me. But if there is truly no love for me in you, then don’t insult me with your pity. As far as Esmerelda is concerned, she is a friend and nothing more.”I take a step away from her, seeing the look on Sarah’s face and steeling my heart, “I don’t want you bringing me food or trying to take care of me. If I have a nightmare or a panic attack, let me suffer by myself. I’ll overcome it at some point.”I’m about to step away when she says, her voice a little sharp, “I don’t pity you.”My jaw tightens, “Really? Because that’s what it seems like to me.”“Well, you’re wrong!” She actually sounds almost angry, “Both you and Aliya are wrong! We were true mates! Even if the bond is dead, it doesn’t mean that I still don’t care for y

“What do you mean by ‘all’?” Sarah asks, sheathing her sword and stepping forward. Aliya looks satisfied, “I mean this necromancer was linked to all of the others. He was in the middle of some spell when he stumbled on to you and decided to attack you. Killing him, killed all those who were linked to him.”“That means all the bodies they controlled have also decreased,” I murmur, realizing the significance of this victory. “Exactly,” Aliya nods. “We’ve instantly decreased their numbers which is going to go a long way in  helping us.”Even as I agree with him, something strikes me, “Why was he here though?”Nobody has an answer to that. After a moment, Sarah reaches into her pocket and brings out a smaller version of the map her grandfather gave us. After studying it for a few minutes, she points at something, “There’s a human village here.”Her face is grim, “What are the chances that the village has been wiped out?”I look over her shoulder and point at anot

There are shocked faces when eyes turn towards us but before anyone can say anything, I step up, “We were sent by Fred to protect the archives room and join the battle.”There are wary glances towards us till one of them steps forward, “Identify yourself.”All of them look battle hardened and it takes a few minutes of explanations for the suspicion to disappear from their eyes.A few men and women approach the front of the group. Their first question on their lips is for Fred.“I’m sorry,” My voice is heavy. “He didn’t make it.”Their faces fall and the grief in their eyes is a terrible sight to see. “He saved us,” One of the older women says, sadly. “He sacrificed his life for us.”Sarah looks at me before turning her attention towards the woman, “We are very sorry for your loss. But we also need to know all the details. Fred mentioned some prophecy. He told us that you have been gathering an army and that’s the archives room needs protection.”My lips cur

“That’s more than an army,” I hiss to myself.Sarah makes a sound agreement, “We don’t have enough people.”Her voice makes me go cold and I turn around and take her hand, desperately, “Please go! Take your wolves and go! Go back to the pack or to your grandfather!”I can see the worry in her eyes but she shakes her head, “Lucas, it’s –““Sarah,” I cut her off, frightened for what might happen to her. “Look at them. We have no chance. We don’t have enough fighters. They clearly came here well prepared. And if they already know about this prophecy, they know it’s talking about you. They’ve unconverted enough information about your life to know. Sarah, run!”Her hand tightens around mine, “I’m not leaving you here. Or Kayla. I can summon the wolves. That will give us an edge.”“Not at the cost of your life,” Fear is gripping my throat. “Why are you being so stubborn?! Why can’t you just listen to this once?!”“This once?!” She glares at me. “You want me to leave you
