going?” I ask him hoping for good news
Caden looks at me and gives me a small smile. “Everything’s okay so far. Nothing’s happened”
I nod feeling a small sense of relief wash over me. It seems that we’ve managed to maintain some semblance of normalcy despite the chaos of the night before.
““How many guards did we lose?” I ask, knowing that it’s something I need to be aware of.
Caden’s smiledes slightly. “We lost seven guards, including three of our best fighters. But we managed to drive the rogue werewolves away before they could do any more damage
I grimace at the thought of losing so many of our own. We were interrupted by sounds downstairs. The atmosphere was very chilly and dark because of the rain but we could still hear the scraps of sound coming from downstairs. We walked towards the rails to see what was going on.
I watched with a burning intensity as the bodies of the rogues were being carried away, I couldn’t shake off the anger that was simmering inside him, but I knew I couldn’t let it get the better of me. I had a responsibility to my pack and he couldn’t afford to let his emotions cloud his judgement
I stood silently at the edge of the clearing as the guards carried the dead rogues away. Each body was carried by two or three men, their lamp forms hanging from their shoulders like rag dolls.
I couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret as I watched the bodies of the rogues being taken away. I wished I had kept them alive, just so I could inthet more punishment on them.
As the last of the bodies were carried away, I turned to Caden, who was standing next to me. “We need to fortify our borders” I said, my voice low and rough. “We can’t let this happen again.”
Caden nodded solemnly, his eyes reflecting the same sense of determination that I was feeling. “111 send out the scouts to survey the area and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity,” he said.
I nodded in agreement. I knew that we couldn’t afford to be caught off guard again. That’s before I headed to the council room to rest

Alsat in the council chamber, my mind drifted back to the day my parents were killed by humans. I lit a fire in the hearth and settled down into a nearby armchair, my head filled with worry. The flames crackled and danced before me, casting long shadows across the root
Chapter 38
I was just a young pup back then, still learning the ways of the Pack.
They were ambushed by the humans who had usurped power through their little tricks.
I remember hearing their screams and running towards them, but it was too late. They were lying in a pool of their own blood, their bodies tom and battered beyond recognition
The pain was still fresh in my heart, and the anger still simmered within me. I couldn’t do anything to save them, but I had brought them to justice. It was something that I could never forget, and I could never forgive the humans for it.
But as I sit here. I can’t help but feel weak. I haven’t retaliated against Raya, even though she’s a human, and a part of me feels like I’m betraying my parents‘ memory by not doing so. But at the same time, I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something about her that draws me in, that makes me feel alive in a way that I haven’t felt in a long time.
I knew what I had to do, as much as it pained me. Raya had to leave the pack. Things had been getting worse since she arrived, and the attack on our pack the night before had been the most severe we had ever faced.
We lost many guards, and I couldn’t help but think that other rogue packs and werewolves would see us as weak. But that wasn’t the only reason. My body had been reacting strangely to hers, and I couldn’t ignore it any longer. I was still angry over my parents‘ deaths at the hands of humans, and 1 couldn’t let my emotions cloud my judgment.
I got out of my room immediately to call her. I entered Raya’s room and found her asleep in her bed, her chest rising and falling softly with each breath. 1 stood there for a moment, just watching her, trying to gather my thoughts. I knew what I had to do, but the thought of it made my heart heavy.
I walked over to her bedside and sat down on the edge of the bed. She stirred slightly in her sleep but didn’t wake up. I reached out to brush a strand of hair away from her face and couldn’t help but notice how soft her skin glowed in the soft light.
I stood up immediately, mentally slapping myself for what I was doing and walked back to the wall.
