Semua Bab Blood, Gold, and Silver: Bab 81 - Bab 90

The false bravado I had leaving the medical tent evaporated pretty much as soon as I stepped through.After speed walking back to the kitchen, thankful that I didn’t run into anyone, I went straight to the fridge where my two inhalers were still hiding. Breathing a sigh of relief, knowing I wouldn’t have to go find Master Nathian for a replacement, I used them both.The medicine one burned my lungs and made my body start to shake and sweat almost instantly. Leaning my forehead against the cool wall, I closed my eyes and focused on breathing for several minutes until the worst of the effects passed, leaving just the usual light fever effects.After tucking that one into the hidden pocket in my servant’s skirts, I used the other one and almost instantly felt better. I probably should’ve used this one as soon as I returned from the Night King’s tent last night. If I had, then I probably would’ve had the mental facilities to not make such a fool of myself.The memories of the Night King s

“You can have this after dinner is served and the dishes are clean,” Margaret said pompously, gesturing to the shake sitting on her desk. “And not a minute sooner.”I ignored her completely and walked over to take it in hand. Before she could scamper over to try and take it back, I was already walking away, devouring it as quickly as I could. I hadn’t eaten yet today, nor did I have anything yesterday thanks to Margaret. I wasn’t going to let her get away with that again. I knew I would be punished for this later, but that was a problem for then.I was starving now.“Oh, you little bitch,” Margaret said, practically turning purple when some of the servants snickered at seeing her chasing around the room after me. The servants hated me with a passion, knowing I was far beneath them. But most of them hated Margaret nearly as much. Unless they kissed her ego constantly, she was a nightmare to be around. Lazy, full of herself, and ready to run to Luna Lannie should anyone shirk their duti

Their scent hit me long before I could hear them.Part of me wished that I had gone with the cubs, but then they wouldn’t have been safe. I needed the rogues to think the cubs were still sequestered here in the Lodge, forcing them to waste time searching the building instead of chasing after them right away.It also forced them to fall right into my hands.I had just enough time to finish the last of the preparations and grab a broom before the front door burst open. Eight rouges walked through, arrogance radiating from them. They were convinced that their plan had worked perfectly. And it would’ve to if not for one fact. I was still here.Survival in a hostile situation was all about playing a role perfectly. If you were a strong fighter, than you needed to master that role. If you were a stealthy assassin, that that was the role you needed to perfect. And if you were a victim, than you needed to play the victim as hard as you could. So, before they even stepped through the door, I

Luna Belle“Only he can do the impossible, or am I wrong,” the Night King continued, looking around the hall at all those assembled.Belle felt a surge of anger pass through her at hearing that name. After the death of her other son at the hands of that monster, the last thing she wanted was to ask him for aid. Maximus had the same look on his face, but he also knew when it was time to fight, and when it was time to negotiate.Something Belle still struggled with.“I know you insist on claiming that you have to way of contacting him,” Maximus spoke first, fighting back his anger. “But now isn’t the time to keep him secret any longer. I know he’s helped you in your war against the Vampires, and against rogues, but he has also committed atrocities in other Kingdoms too. My son isn’t the only life he’s claimed, as five other youths have been targeted and sacrificed since. But, for the sake of saving our still breathing children, I’m willing to look the other way this one time. Contact hi

After they all sprayed themselves with a chemical that temporarily removed their scents, one of the rogues turned it on me. Their laughter was thick as he sprayed me in the face for a few seconds, making my eyes sting and water.“Enough for now, we can break in the new slave back at camp. You, slave, put our clothes in this pack and get on my back,” Jason ordered once we reached the trees. In short order, he and what remained of his men stripped off their shoes and clothes and shifted into their wolves. Knowing my life, and the lives of my friends, depended on making myself as useful as possible, I pushed back the pain and exhaustion and gathered their clothes as quickly as I could.One of the wolves grabbed the bag from my hands and another shoved me hard towards Jason’s massive form. Pulling myself up from the ground, I mounted Jason’s back and held on for dear life as they raced into the night.A couple hours later, they finally started to slow down.I was freezing so badly that my
