Chapter 77
Elara’s POV
The howl that shattered the stormy night echoed tuugh t
the air, a drep, ominous sound followed by the chans of fighting It came from the Norm Gale “Gamma Elsea!” Vessa’s sharp voice broke through the howl, her eyes wide with panic as the chapped her head toward me “What do we do?”
They were all looking at me, waiting for some sort of direction, I could feel the weight of their unstainty None of them knew what to do next–t unless I told them,
I didn’t waste a second, “Let’s go help them,” I said, my voice sharp, cutting through the tension.
Without another word, I shitted. My body, already in motion, exploded into the form of my siber woll, fur rippling in the fierce wind botted forward, my pack following my lead, their powerful paws thundering behind me. The storm was so thick, the snow swirling in wild gusts, could barely see a few steps ahead. It wasn’t until we reached the North Gate that the full scale of the battle hit me.
Fire, Smoke, Bodies. The ground was soaked with blood–red splashing across the pure white snow, death–stuing my nose as I ran past soldiers locked in brutal combat. Wolves collided in mid air, their teeth snapping, claws bearing through lur. Some
innerving contract. The scent of it all–iron and had shifted back, exhausted, fighting with blades and guns, the sound of metal clashing against metal, the thunder of gunfire filling the air.
At the center of it all, I spotted him. A massive black wolf, his fur matted with blood, his face marked with a deep scar, was fighting off se soldiers. They couldn’t take him down, not even with the combined force of six men
Hlet out a roar, s
sharp and commanding to get their attention. In a flash, I darted toward the black wolf, my small frame a blur of nation
“Here comes the little she–wolf!” Sterni
Sterning’s mocking voice sliced through the chaos. “Ready to kneel before the Rouge King
I didn’t answer him. Instead, I twisted in mid–air, landing on Storning’s back. His fur was coarse beneath my claws, but I hold an. His body jerked in a violent attempt to shake me off, but I stayed firm, digging my paws into his back.
Without hesitation, I sank my fangs into the thick flesh of his neck. Stemning’s roar was deafening, but I didn’t flinch. I ripped off a chunk of his Hesh and spat it out in disgust.
“Your blood reeks,” I hissed, my voice dripping with contempt.
Behind me, I heard movement–a rogue circling, ready to strike. But I didn’t see him. Not yet. My entire focus was on Stemning
“Elara, WATCH OUT!” A voice boomed, and I turned just in time to see Jory, his eyes wide with panic. But he was too far. There was no way he could reach
me in time.
Before I could react, a massive wolf leapt into the fray, his howl cutting through the night. The rogue who’d been sneaking up on me was gone in an instant, ripped to shreds in the blink of an eye.
I gasped, relief washing over me in a tide of gratitude. “Thorne” My heart skipped at the sight of him, the Alpha trusted more than anything,
Sterning’s expression twisted into one of sheer terror. Thorne…
The other rogues around us screamed in fear. “Thorpe is here!”
“Christ, it’s Thorne!” Their voices carried panic, spreading like wildfire.
The stormy night seemed to freeze for a moment, the battle pausing in fear of the infamous Alpha Thorne, standing tall and defiant, exuded an aura of
raw power. His black fur rippled in the wind, his stance towering above the chaos, as if nothing could touch him
“Steady!” Sterning barked, his voice shaking “We have the Craglen Fortress! We won’t lose this battlel Stay in position”
Thorne’s voice cut through the fear like a blade. “You won’t have it for long
1/3
He charged. The ground seemed to tremble beneath his powerful stride, and the soldiers–those brave enough to face him–lensed, preparing for Impact
I didn’t need to be told twice. With Thorne’s arrival, That the chance to check on my own soldiers
found Bes not far from the battlefield, collapsed against a tree, blood soaking through his clothes
“Dex” I rushed to his side, my heart lurching: “Are you alight What happened!”
He groaned, trying to push himself up. His face twisted in pain. “We started the attack at the North Gate, just like we planned,” he said, his vo “But the rogues–they were waiting for us. I was a trap.”
My brow furrowed. “They know about our plan?”
“Yeah,” he snapped, his fist slamming into the snow–covered earth in frustration. “The damn traitor His words trailed off into a grow of ange
“Did you tell anyone about the plan?” asked, trying to keep the panic from creeping into my voice,
“No! I got the message from Alpha Thorne about the plan eniller, and I kept it to myself,” Box’s voice was filled with bitterness. I don’t know about the others, though
I nodded, kneeling beside him, “We need to get you to a medic. You’re still bleeding out here.”
“Forget about me!” he snapped, his eyes desperate. “We need to pull back. The rogues k know our plan. We’re losing
“Bex, calm down,” I said, my voice soft but firm “Thome’s here now. We don’t know for sure yet.”
“You’re crazy if you think we can win this,” Bex said, shaking his head, but before he could say more, a deafening roar interrupted him
