Chapter 212. The Night Everything Changed 

Infuriated by my big brother’s persistent rules, I jumped from my bed and slid on my shoes. I needed to be stronger, needed to train I had so many questions, and if no one else would give me the answers, then I’d go look for them myself

But first of all, I needed to be strong enough to run away from the pack,

it had been five years. The pack had changed since that night, and so had Ethan

T had been living at Vicky’s house ever since, but my brothers still stayed in the pack house, even though they didn’t get along well like before.

Sometimes I would hear Soren argue with Ethan, saying things like, “You need to tell me the truth,” but Ethan never answered him no matter how hard Soren pushed. I had a feeling that they were referring to Mommy and Dad.

It wasn’t like i missed my parents-I didn’t know what parents really meant until I started living in Vicky’s house.

i learned that kids didn’t get punished for every tiny thing they did; I learned that, even if kids made mistakes, they didn’t need to be beaten. Families were not just about children being obedient and strictly following everything their parents said to the letter.

While I didn’t particularly miss my parents, once in a while, I still got curious and went to ask Ethan where they went. He

d just say that it wasn’t my concern. If Soren was there when I asked the question, he would get into a big fight with Ethan. So slowly, I learned to avoid this topic.

Things seemed to slowly go back to normal, until one night, we were attacked by rogues… and Soren went missing.

I took a deep breath and stepped toward the window, then I opened it and looked down at the ground below. I was fortunate enough to have a drain pipe near my window, and slinging my leg up onto the window ledge, I shimmed my way outside, then down the pipe.

My feet hitting the ground brought a smile to my face, and I took off toward the training grounds.

At this time of night, they would be empty, but the equipment they used would still be there for me. As I broke through the small stadium entry way, I found the field dimly lit with stage lighting.

Shadows still crested the edges of the arena that neared the woods, but with the warriors out doing their rounds, I didn’ t fear the dark

Move after move, I maneuvered myself around the training grounds and landed hit after hit on my targets. The obstacles in place were for more advanced training, but after weeks of coming out here to practice, I had learned my way around.

“Nice hit.” a voice called out in the distance, followed by my clapping that echoed across the field.

Stopping in my tracks, I spun to face the person in question. My heart raced, realizing I had been caught.

But when my eyes landed on Talon, I let out a breath in relief. Thank the Goddess it wasn’t my brother!

Ever since Ethan had become the Alpha of the pack, Talon took on the role of Beta, and they had been very busy. The last time I’d seen them was almost a month ago.

“Welcome back! Wha-what are you doing out here?” | stuttered.

“Me?” Talon chuckled. “What are YOU doing out here?”

“Just training…” I tried to make it sound convincing.

“Training in the middle of the night?” he asked as he stepped closer and squatted in front of me. Although I had grown taller compared to five years ago, I was still tiny next to Talon.

He gently reminded me, “You could get hurt out here by yourself.“

“Then, that’s why you’re here!” I gave him a big smile and titled my head. “Please?

He dotingly tapped the tip of my nose and smiled/ “Peach, you’re old enough to know you’re breaking the rules.” His deep green eyes were fixed on me.

I froze for a second, and I didn’t know why, but my face started to heat up and my heart started pounding. It was a strange feeling. I wasn’t afraid of him at all, so why would my heart beat so fast…?

“Come on. Let’s go home,” he said as he took my hand. And I heard my heart beating even faster. What was wrong with me?!

Before I could figure out my own problem, though, a howl resonated against the wind that caused the hairs on my arms to stand straight out. It was a warning howl, and that only meant one thing.

Rogues had gotten through the borders. Again.

Before we could run away, two rogues came running toward us, snarling.

Panic flooded me. Neither of us could shift yet!

Talon cursed under his breath,

I should have followed the rules. I should have stayed in my room like I was told. But now I was going to die, and what’s worse, I’d also dragged Talon into this!

As one of the wolves bounded up into the air, Talon pulled me into his arms. Then both of us were knocked down on the ground. Talon made sure that I landed on his arms and he shielded me with his entire body.

The wolf was frustrated and bit down at Talon’s side; I saw blood pouring out. Even so, he didn’t let go of me, and I was still wrapped under his body.

I trembled as I heard Talon whisper, “It’s okay. I’ve mindlinked Ethan… he’s on the way.”

My vision blurred as the wolf bit into Talon again, trying to have Talon let go of me. More blood splattered and ! screamed as tears flooded out. “Ethan-help!”

“Oohoo-!”

Before the rogue wolf’s teeth could sink into Talon again, though, a massive wolf cast it off, and I realized that Ethan had finally arrived.

“Talon!” 1 screamed in panic as I realized that Talon’s body had crushed down on mine. He had fallen into unconsciousness. “Please… please wake up…”

Then I was shuffled aside when other warriors joined the fight.

What had I done...? What if… what if Talon died…

My brain was empty, and I was so horrified that I couldn’t even cry.

“Georgia!” My brother’s roar snapped me out from my trance.

I sat on my hospital bed and looked up to face him. Never had I seen him so angry, but scared at the same time. “What the hell were you doing out there?!”

“Training at this hour when you knew you shouldn’t? They could have killed you had Talon not been there!” he yelled at me as he slammed his fist into the wall. “Talon almost died for you!”

“Is Talon okay?” I cried. Please Goddess, please help him! “If Talon… If Talon…” I couldn’t even make up a full sentence.

“You both are lucky that we got it there in time,” he said, glancing over me/ “He’s alive.”
