Chapter 36: I have to go back


    It was chaos.


    I should have passed by the warriors who would help Xyrus but no one came. And now I know why, the


    packhouse was under attack as well.


    Warriors of this pack are well-known for their strength and agility, they could take down as many


    opponents in a battle. They were skilled, feared, and specially trained by Xyrus and former Alpha


    Caden himself to be invisible in a battle.


    But the council must have thought of that well, as they got not just the element of surprise but numbers.


    It was absolutely an unfair fight, one warrior versus a five or more. It was crazy.

    Maybe the war was not just because of the treaty being broken, but the council aimed to wipe out the


    whole pack. They will finish what they had failed to dost time.


    "Luna!" Gabbiel shouted, he had just taken down a wolf, his arnis sticks flipping on his hands. "In here."


    I followed him through the back until we reached the secret door on the wall leading to the underground


    room designed for something like this.


    "They are in here, now go inside!" He insisted, worry clouding his face.


    "I''m a warrior too Gabbiel, I''m staying!"


    "We have to keep you safe, the alphamands it, he will kill me if anything happens to you." He


    insisted, "Please..."


    "Send someone to Xyrus, he needs help." I pleaded.


    "I''m on my way." He gestured at the wall with roots loosely hanging onto it. "Please Luna, we can''t


    afford you getting hurt. If you die, alpha will die too."


    "Be safe." He nodded and tapped the bricks as a secret door revealed, I went inside and the door


    closed.


    The room was empty, it was like a cozy living room with bookshelves on the side, carpeted floors, and


    sofas around. It was designed this way to trick outsiders that this is just amon room.


    I kneeled on the carpeted floor, revealing a secret door underneath it. Going down, I was greeted by


    many female young and adults. Worry showed on their face.


    "Oh my gosh, Willow!" Callie attacked me in a hug. "Thank goodness you''re safe." She was crying,


    Elony and Heather joined us.


    "Where is your twin?" I asked.


    "She''s hurt." Her eyes are puff and swollen. "The pack''s doctor treating her wounds, she got bitten,


    Willow. Wolves just appeared out of nowhere, it was terrible!" She sobbed.


    "Shhhh.." I rubbed her back. "Cassey''s going to be okay and so is everyone else."


    "Are you hungry?" I nodded at Heather and she went to grab some food on the table.


    "Seat here first." Elony guided me into a nearby sofa."The council will gonna pay for this!" She said


    angrily.


    A murmur of yes broke into the group of other females in the room. They all look so worried, some


    children were crying.


    A painful cry came from Cassey at the far end of the room, Callie rushed to her sides. I was about to


    get up when Elony stopped me. "No, stay there. You have to eat and rest." And she joined Callie.


    Heather went back with a te of sandwich and fruits and a ss of orange juice. I hungrily eat my


    food and Heather went for another te to refill mine.


    "Hey." a voice called at my side. It was Ehren. She has an ufortable smile. "Mind if I seat?"


    "Not at all."


    "Ahm, are you alright?" She asked after settling in a chair in front of me.


    "Yeap." I simply replied.


    "Look, Uhm, I just want to say sorry. I, I don''t know what I was thinking, I." she stuttered. "I hope we


    could - you know, patch up things and start anew."


    She was nervous, I could tell. I gave her a small smile. "I think it would be wonderful to have a friend


    like you," I said truthfully.


    She smiled as well and get up to hug me. "Thanks, Luna, you really are amazing."


    She said and went to join the other girls.


    "Looks like she finally stops bitching." Heathermented, giving me another te of food.


    "That''s so rude to say, Heather!" I yfully scolded her.


    Heather shrugged her shoulders andughed with me.


    "Where''s Tash anyway?" I asked, noticing a missing Tasca.


    "She''s fighting with the warriors along with other skilled female members." A look of worry crossed her


    face. "There were too many of them Willow, do you think we might stand a chance?"


    "I''m sure we do."


    I finished my meal and stood up which startled Heather.


    "I have to go back," I said with finality in my voice. "There is no way I''m just gonna sit here while Tash


    and the other warriors are fighting outside."


    ''And Xyrus.''
