Semua Bab LUNAR LEGACY : Bab 141 - Bab 148

“We were attacked last night.”Darius and I shared a look with each other after Smith made a report to us after we let him into the pack after he had begged us for it, claiming he had something important to tell us.“A good chunk of people know that vampires are occupying the pack now. Why would anyone want to attack a group of vampires in the night when they’re at their strongest?” Darius asked, seeming more in wonder and amazement than in doubt.“People who had assurance that they could beat us, Darius,” Smith replied. “These people were more powerful than I had ever known. It was like they were all…”He paused as he stared at me as if he was too worried to say it out loud. Was it something he believed would offend me? All the more reason for him to say it then.“Spit it out, Smith. The sooner you tell us, the sooner we get to figure out who attacked you.”“They were like you, Zara,” he said.There was silence in the room as Darius and I shared another look. This time, we were both

There was blood everywhere, bodies on top of them. I didn’t know which was which. There were humans, vampires, werewolves, and even witches dead on the ground.“Nobody is safe. How is that the first instance?” I asked as I turned to the goddess. She looked back at me with a sad face as she showed me the second image.“This is how it’s going to be,” she explained as I saw the number of dead people in the second image she was showing me and was trying to differentiate between that and the first one she had shown me.“People will die. A lot of people. And it doesn’t even matter if it’s one group of people. Werewolves will die just as much as humans will. But you have the chance to make those bodies on the ground less and less if you make the right decision.”“How?” I asked as I turned away from the image in front of me, unable to stomach it for even another second. “How am I supposed to make this work? How do I sacrifice people’s lives when I don’t even know which instance my decision is

Every doubt I had about Deirdre had just been proven by Darius telling me that her pack had witches in them, but I had to be completely sure about it.“How do you know this?” I asked him.“It was Tyrell. A group of witches had been attacked and chased out of their coven by rogues. They had nowhere else to go, so they came over to Tyrell’s pack. We all tried to talk him out of it, but he didn’t listen. He said he would take them under his wing as long as they didn’t cause trouble.”“So, there’s a chance that they’re still here?” I asked him, raising my brows.“A big chance. If Tyrell wanted them to leave, he would have consulted the rest of us to let us know that. The witches must still be here.”I stood in place with my eyes wandering as far as they could reach. It was something Gray had instilled in me, and I had been with it ever since. Every place I looked, I would have to find a potential place to hide so that nobody would spot me.When I was done pointing out all the places in my

“Welcome, welcome,” Deirdre said as Aaron and I were escorted into the living room of her pack. She had a faint smile on her face, but I realized just how distant and not genuine it was.“Thank you,” I replied with a smile of my own as my bags were taken up to an assigned bedroom, leaving just the two of us.Deirdre and I stood there for a long moment, staring at each other. I didn’t know how to start saying what I wanted to say, and I could tell she felt the same way.Finally, I decided to break the silence between us: “It’s a good thing that you agreed for me to come here. I was thinking of how I would end up building an alliance with you after everything that happened.”She scoffed in response. “You do know, Zara, that if you want me to be an ally to you, you have to convince me and tell me why that’ll benefit me. Everything you’ve told me so far hasn’t convinced me just yet.”“Have you not been convinced because you didn’t see what I was saying on your own, or are you still blinde
