Bound by Twisted Fate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

“Thane!” Lyra gripped my arm stopping me from throwing my hand back to hit the punching bag in front of me.I stopped, feeling every muscle in me twitch and become tense.Lyra stood back, folding her arms across her chest as she studied me in concern.“You haven’t slept a wink.” She commented.There was a storm outside and I could hear the thunder and water beating down against the windows.“No time to sleep when my pack is in danger.” I grumbled as I took down the heavy bag replacing it with a larger one.Lyra sighed as she walked over to my desk where a bunch of unfinished plans were laid all around.Useless plans that weren’t going to work anyway. Because there was no way to defeat creatures that weren’t only faster and stronger than you but who fed on life itself.Lyra scoffed.I turned to look at her.She was also in her training gear, her hair braided off into two cornrows.“What are you doing here?” I asked in realisation.It was three am. Neither of us should have been awake.

Everyone was mad at this point. Landon was mad at me, Lyra was mad at me and all the other soldiers could tell their alpha was mad and it didn’t take long for them to realise I was the reason so here we were. Thane hadn’t given me a second glance as he had immediately shifted and gone to join the fighting. But it was clear that he had given Lyra strict instructions to keep an eye on me which she obviously wasn’t happy about. But here we were, me in the back of an SUV with two serious looking soldiers flanking me. And that’s when the chaos started. It was dark, there was thunder and lightning plaguing the sky as the storm continued. If you didn’t listen carefully, the rain and wind almost distracted from the chaos ensuing outside. But nothing could completely eradicate the deadly occurrences outside. One peak out the window and I could see them. Shadows looming around the forest, screams of terror accompanying them. I heard a loud growl and almost jumped out of my skin as

But it wasn’t Landon. Not exactly.This version was rabid, crazed, uncontrollable.I could see it by the way he instantly started ripping through the dark ones.It was bizzare to watch. I had seen Thane and his soldiers fight. Heck, I had seen my own sibling and pack army fight.A skilled fighter was swift but efficient with their moves. What Landon was doing right now was the opposite of that. It was like he wasn’t in control of his body.He was swiping his claws and using his teeth all to draw blood and cause harm. But it’s like he didn’t even realise what he was doing.He was out of control.It was the Luna madness.Landon’s appearance achieved the goal of distracting the dark ones long enough to take their attention away from us.I could tell that they had been caught off guard by Landon’s unbridled ferocity.But unluckily for him and all of us, their shock wore off quickly.The dark ones regained their senses and it’s like they realised it was just one rabid wolf against them.Th

The atmosphere was intense around the table.I put my hands together, sitting still and upright as I stared straight ahead at a portrait. The portrait was of my family. When it had been complete. Me, Jaimie, Landon and our parents.All of us frozen in time. Back when life wasn’t all about who would be left. Back when the enemy we knew was made out of flesh and bones like we were.Suddenly all the petty arguments I would have with my brothers didn’t matter. All the years my parents were so hard on me with training or always at meetings seemed trivial.We had given our lives to a war that had destroyed us. That had taken more than half of them away.It didn’t seem worth it.And now, I was all alone and I didn’t know how to stop it.“Thane.” Madam Royce spoke pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned to look around. I almost forgot I was at a table with my council members.All looking at me expectantly. Waiting for answers that I didn’t have.I sucked in a breath and stood up.I was silent

“Where’s the prisoner?” I asked in a firm voice as I walked down the steps.There were about a dozen guards around the cells. All some of my top soldiers.It might have seemed extreme. Honestly, I’ve had less security for more threatening prisoners.But I couldn’t take a risk with him.“This way, Alpha, Beta.” One of them spoke as he led Lyra and I down the cold, stone pathway.We passed by the cell Piper had once been kept in and I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my chest.I pictured her in her bed back home still hooked up to all those machines. Mary told me she was doing her best. That they were all doing their best but even I could see the looks of pity all the healers shot me when I spent night after night camped out beside her.Finally we stopped in front of a cell. Iron bars kept contained a man who was cowered in the corner, hugging himself.His eyes flicked up the minute he sensed our presence and started darting between us.It was eerie seeing him. Sure, he looked like any
