Semua Bab Echoes of Hate: Bab 101 - Bab 108

ALPHA TYSON.I could feel it the moment that I saw the files that were spread across the table: the weight of it pressed down like a storm on my chest. The proof was right there. It was undeniable. Three members of this council had betrayed us and worked against everything that we stood for. We were meant to protect people, not criminals. They abandoned the ones that we were meant to protect.How could they do that?How many lives had been ruined because of their selfishness? How many families were ripped apart, and innocent souls been destroyed while these three protected the ones who were guilty? Those two questions alone burned at me and made my stomach turn a little bit more with each and every passing second. I couldn’t even imagine the butterfly effect that this would have.I attempted to keep an impassive face, tried to mask the anger and disbelief, but inside was fury burning bright. Every instinct I had as an Alpha screamed at me.For justice. For vengeance. For protection.Th

ARIA.Time had been passing by, with each tick of the clock. Time was stealing another second out of us. The noise was meant to keep us aware that time was now closing on us. We had been waiting and planning for weeks now. It wasn’t easy to let things play out the way that they needed to. Even the sun appeared to be hanging lower today, white and alert, like one which desired to know where this would end, too.Alpha Jonathan and Alpha Tyson had proven themselves more than once to be the allies that we desperately needed. Their names carried weight, enough to make big strides with knocking the foundation out from underneath the rest of the council. But strength came with a price. Any muffled telephone conversation, any secret meetings, was another opportunity to make the suspicion grow. Their mates were attempting to be calm, but I noticed the shaking of Lily in pouring the coffee, the manner in which Alpha Jonathan looked at the door when someone was coming into the room, lingered too

ARIA. Thea’s body moved with fluidity built from relentlessly training and working her ass off. For this exact moment. When we stood against Samuel and his people to protect everything that we held dear, everything that we’d worked for.Everywhere was absolute chaos.This was the first major battle that I’d been in. Suffice to say that I was a bit overwhelmed by its sheer intensity, but Dane had ensured that I was prepared as much as possible. Many other people helped out as well, and never once did they complain about it.All I could hear right now were snarls, bodies crashing against each other, and howls of pain. The stench of blood turned my stomach, but I ignored it for what was improtant. Every enemy that lunged at Thea met the same permanent end.Luckily for us I could utilize the gifts that came with being a silver wolf while she physically fought. In a combat scenario, we could produce a silver light the burned werewolves due to the silver particles in it. Likewise, we could

ARIA.Broken bodies and smoke covered the ground. The scent of blood filled the air and coated the ground as well. It wasn’t silent, but even the hushed noise sounded like thunder. Whimpers and cries could be heard from both sides.The thing that hit me hardest, though, was the pain rushing down our bond. It wasn’t just physical. It was the kind that dug into your soul and hollowed a part of it out. Thea and I could feel their grief. The kind that was made of sheer agony and remained with you with, or without, your permission.Dane was the only thing keeping me from falling onto my knees without how weak they felt right now. I nuzzled my face against his chest as I attempted to keep the tears at bay. My own chest ached as if it’d been clawed open because I could feel the pain that they were going through. I’d never experienced sorrow like this before. Our hearts were breaking for our mates.They never wanted this. I knew that. Thea knew it too.Our mates were natural-born protectors. T
