Novel & Cerita Things Have Gotten Worse

Acceptance, regret, sorrow and love, nothing for me to worry about. “We left due to problems with blood witches and vampires. We were the only remaining pack in the whole country and we could not defend ourselves sufficient enough, I choose to leave for the safety of my pack, my people. I would never forgive myself if something happened to them what could have been prevented and I don’t wish for them a life where they always have to be on high alert.” He sighs, raking a hand through his hand.

Everyone were upset and mad about how the things has been going on for everybody, things never get good, instead each passing day, everything slowly turned from bad to worst, and no one can do anything about it at all. “[ …We…Continue…]….hold on…[Aeternum Cabinet has approved the new initiative]….EVERYONE BE QUIET!!!!..”.(Big John)

“For the first time in a long time, things feel as if they are right.” “I kind of understand what you mean,” I said. “Even though Kyle has no idea what we will find up north I still feel as if the worst is over. That curse combined with all the crap that those idiots in the Council caused for so many years undetected wreaked havoc on a lot of packs, but like you said things are starting to feel right.”

Darius said slowly. “No,” I replied. “We’re dealing with a system that’s breaking everywhere.” Silence followed. Because there wasn’t an easy solution to that. There wasn’t even a hard solution. There was just— Reality. And the reality was— We were completely unprepared for this. Another faint pulse brushed through the connection. Stronger this time. More urgent. My breath caught. “It’s getting worse.” Adrian’s expression tightened. “Here?” “No,” I said quickly. “There.”

He was strong, and the move he had pulled earlier further solidified this. “I don’t know if it’s too early, but I have a question of mine,” he said suddenly. I nodded. “It’s fine. You can ask what you want.” “Well, before coming here, I heard that the werewolf hunters had been a nuisance and there has not been a minute peace for years on end. Now, it has seemingly grown worse, and no-one knows what the outcome is. How true is this?” I sighed. “It’s true. There has been clashes, and the humans are also suffering from it too. It’s not something that cannot be handled, but whenever needs to be done, needs to be done carefully.”

“You’re trying to tell me the world doesn’t exist in absolutes of black and white. It’s a scale of grey.” I smile at her. “Yes. There were good emperors and bad ones. Good times and bad times. It always cycles like that.” “I know,” she mutters. “But this seems… particularly brutal.” “It was. It really was. The world has… softened since then. People, humans, have grown kinder. This sort of thing doesn’t work anymore, it angers them.” On either side the dead and dying slaves hang from the crosses, their blood running down their bodies as the sun bakes them alive.

She was still there. Watching. Waiting. Her expression had shifted. Not confused. Not distant. Aware. “How bad is it?” she asked. I walked back toward her. Measured. Controlled. “Bad enough,” I said. “That doesn’t tell me anything.” “It tells you what you need to know.” Her brows pulled slightly. “That it’s getting worse?” “That it’s getting closer.” “To what?” “The end.” She held my gaze. “And that’s a good thing?” “Yes.” “Then why does it feel like everything is getting more dangerous instead of less?”

"It's even worse now." Hazel frowned. "Worse?" I nodded slowly. "Much worse." She watched me carefully before speaking again, her voice quieter this time. "Jax..." "What?" "What the hell have you gotten yourself into?”

It would be foolish to deceive or pretend at this point, and I was no longer willing to be a fool. "Yes, Alpha, it is as dire as it sounds. Our healthcare system has crumbled, and basic necessities like food and electricity are now luxuries. Our social infrastructure is in ruins. It truly is that bad, Alpha, and the problems seem to unravel endlessly like an unruly ball of yarn," I disclosed, eliciting a sigh from him as he scrutinised me.

As if something deeper… Something far worse than the one in front of them— Was starting to wake up too.
