ANDERSWe arrived at the werewolf pack and I took out some money from our bag. We still had enough since we hadn't spent much of it. Zara and I bought a lot of foodstuffs to carry us for the next two weeks. I bought different fruit seeds, got another bag, and filled it with the foodstuffs we bought. When we were done at the market, we were about to leave when many werewolves who were warriors began to arrive from outside the gate.Zara let go of my hand instantly as we noticed that everyone who was in the market square was gathering in one corner. Zara said, "Let's back up, Anders, and move inside the crowd so no one will notice us." Zara and I began moving deep into the crowd to avoid attention. There were many warriors and they seemed to be very strong.Zara was moving right behind me when I heard a voice say, "Stop right there." I continued moving, but Zara stopped. When she turned, the werewolf who was leading the other werewolves pointed at her. When I turned and saw him, I in
ANDERS"I'm surprised you refused to bring him along with us," I said to Zara. "What do you mean?" She asked. I replied, "I mean, for a moment there, I thought you were going to say to that rogue, 'Alright, come on and be a part of our team'." Zara smiled and said, "Okay, we can continue to run now."So, we began to run again, and this time, we didn't stop until we finally crossed the bridge that led to the East. We had been running for three hours and were both very hungry. Zara stared at me and said, "We are finally here. What do we do?"I sighed, "Those werewolves that you killed earlier, I mean those three sons of the alpha. Their pack might be out for revenge, so they might be searching for us. We still need to be very careful. What I'll advise is that we run along the bushes and avoid the roads." Zara nodded, "Okay but, I need to rest for a little while. I'm tired."I stared at her and became worried, "You seem to be getting tired lately. I mean, I know we're running, but c
BRANDONWe had been traveling for days, but we had yet to get the results we were looking for. After thoroughly searching the North, we finally stumbled upon a scene of dead werewolves with arrows embedded in their bodies. I instantly recognized them as Zara's because each pack had a different head color and a different way its arrows were designed. Now I knew we were headed in the right direction.Since we had almost covered the North, I was worried that Zara wasn't here and we weren't going to find her. But now that I'd seen her arrows, I knew that she wasn't far away. We began to search all around. Finally, we saw a werewolf in the bushes who was recuperating.The moment I saw him, I knew he was stabbed with an arrow. I moved closer to him, but he was so afraid. "Don't worry. I will not harm you," I said to him because I realized he was a rogue. "I just need to know about the werewolf that shot these arrows. Where is she?"He stared at me and asked, "You're a werewolf too?" I sai
ZARAAnders and I finally arrived at the cliff. I looked around the deserted area in surprise. There were many cliffs around here, but the one Anders took me to seemed to be the most dangerous. The cliff was very steep, and when Anders had told me that it was about five hundred meters deep, I didn't really understand until I saw it for myself. I wondered how we were going to survive in this place. I stared at Anders and asked, "Anders, is this the place where you want us to set up our pack?"Anders smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Zara. I told you I had a plan, and I'm going to see it through. Let's do it just as we've agreed" After speaking, Anders picked up some sticks and quickly made a shade for me, asking me to wait. He looked at the cliff and said he wanted to descend it.I stared at him in surprise, "What? Anders, you just confirmed to me that this cliff is about five hundred meters high, and you want to descend it? No, no, no, Anders, it's too dangerous. What if.....""Rel
BRANDONI and the other werewolves waited outside the lycan pack while the lycans went in to search for Zara and Anders. After a while, they came out and said that there was no sign of them. Even after asking, no one agreed to have seen them. It became obvious that they must have left the North and headed to the East. I stared at Avery, who had earlier told me that it didn’t make sense for Zara to have come here, and wished that I had listened to her. Now it was going to take us a few more days to make the journey back to where we came from and follow the bridge to the East. We had been away from our pack for weeks while searching for Zara and Anders, but our search hadn’t been successful. Yes, we knew we were headed in the right direction, but I was hoping I would not have to return empty-handed. I looked at the chain in my hand. This was the very chain I had used around Zara’s neck when she disowned her people, in front of the square and her father. I intended to use this same ch
ZARAAnders and I were about to climb up the cliff when we noticed three rabbits running around. Anders stared at me and asked, "Would you like to have one?" I recalled how we had suffered the last time and said, "No, let's not go through the struggle." But he said, "I can see you want it. Don't worry, I'll get it for you." I knew we weren't leaving the bottom of the cliff anytime soon, so I sat down and waited for Anders as he chased the rabbits around. Eventually, his efforts paid off, and he caught one of them. I smiled at him and said, "Wow, really impressive." "But of course," he replied, "Did you think I was going to let you down?" We began to climb out of the cliff gently until we finally got to the top.Anders killed the rabbit and kept it by the side while we repeated the same process over and over until I was completely exhausted. Anders was also exhausted as well. We searched for a nearby river and washed up before coming back to the shade Anders had built. As it had
ANDERSZara and I spent the last week preparing and training, going up and down the cliff, and getting ready for our enemies. But they hadn't shown up yet, and we were stuck. We didn't want to start building our pack without facing them first.When night came, I suggested to Zara that maybe it was time to move on. What if our enemies never came? We'd be waiting for nothing. But Zara insisted that we give it more time. She thought they must have searched for us in all the other regions, and if we gave up now, all our hard work would be for nothing.So we agreed to wait for one more week. If they didn't come after that, we'd start building our pack. But the next morning, we heard footsteps approaching.Our enemies were coming. Zara and I moved closer to the cliff, looking around nervously. When they got closer, we saw that they were both werewolves and lycans, working together to get us.I was surprised that they had united just to capture us, who hadn't really done anything to them. Za
ANDERSBrandon seemed so happy when he saw Zara's eyes become misty. He mocked, "Really, Zara? Are you finally regretting the decisions you made? I warned you, didn't I? But you gave up your true family, turned your back on your father, and turned your back on me for the sake of our enemies. What did I tell you? I warned you that it would not work out. I told you that it wouldn't end well for you, but you ignored my words. You were so proud and full of yourself, and you thought you were wiser. You thought you were better than those who had come before you. Look at you today, about to become my slave, surrounded, cornered, and weak. And now you're crying. There's no need for that. Tears will not help you."I folded my hands, feeling an intense hatred toward Brandon. Right from the very start, he had been a thorn in our flesh. I didn't understand how he managed to survive until now.Just as we had planned, Zara, who had begun to cry at this point, said, "Tell me. I'm not just talking
