’He is not my sweet moon’s type.’
Once again, Lu irked Cane with his comment. It disgusted the Alpha that this cursed creature actually gave his mate a pet name.
However, this was not the right time for that, since Cane could see how the dark wisp had covered the sky and it almost felt like the day had turned night from all the darkness.
How long would it last? Cane groaned because Lu chose to lay dormant at a time like this. He was not sure why the lycan pulled back when this old man told him to do so.
Because of the darkness, the forest had turned very eerie, it was exceptionally quiet, as if everything went still and the time stopped ticking.
’Don’t you intend to do something?’ Cane asked. It would take forever if he had to wait until that dark sorcerer drained all of his power in order to try to extract Lu from him. He needed to find Iris, though she was with those four warriors, it still didn’t sit well with Cane to not be close with her.
’I am doing something,’ Lu said simply.
’I will not tell you.’ If he had not been just a soul without a body, onr would have been able to see the smug look on his face. ’It will be fun...’
=============================
Aliana fought at least three beasts at the same time, while the other seven young beasts took one of the warriors that chased after them.
There were around eleven to twelve Blue Moon warriors that managed to catch up to them.
’Damn it! What is Ethan doing? Why are there so many beasts that managed to catch up to us?!’ Aliana thought to herself, irritated, but in truth, she was worried something really bad happened to the Gamma.
Or did the Blue Moon warriors also split into two groups, just like them to take precaution? After all, they had learned a thing or two about their strategies.
It was pretty obvious how the young beasts lacked fighting experience, as it didn’t take long for them to be overwhelmed, but they didn’t back down at all. They were snarling and growling at their opponents, who had bigger bodies than them.
Not to mention they were at an advantage, since they could communicate with each other through mindlink, which was something that the warriors from the Howling Wolf pack couldn’t do, so their attack was way more coordinated.
Blood was everywhere and with the sky covered by dark wisp, the fight looked even more vicious with the thick smell of blood in the air.
Two young beasts had died and three of the Blue Moon pack’s warriors lost their lives in Haco’s hands, while the others were still fighting their attackers.
The sorcerer looked so distraught to see this dark wisp, as he was torn between staying behind to help them all in this fight and rushing toward Cane, the source of this dark wisp.
However, he couldn’t use all the magic stones he had, since he would be useless without them, even if he could reach Cane. Without his power, he was only an ordinary human. As a magic user, they were very dependent on magic stones and this was one of their setbacks. They didn’t have unlimited power, unlike the ones with divine power, which only belonged to the Serafim.
"Damn it! Can’t they just die?!" Haco was frustrated. He used too much of his magic stones in this battle to help, thus soon, he would be rendered useless.
One of the young warriors with blood coating his fur came to him and bit his hand lightly, as if telling him to follow him.
"What about the others?!" Haco was frustrated, yet the young beast was persistent for him to detach himself from this battle.
Thinking they could handle the rest of the attackers and right now Cane’s matter regarding this black wisp was way more urgent, Haco followed the young beast to get away from there.
He knew it must be the lycan. Something must have happened to the lycan and Haco dreaded thinking the worst.
"Hey... don’t run too fast... I am too old... to sprint with you..." Haco was panting, he felt so exhausted, his old body had only gotten more and more weaker.
He hated to admit it, but it seemed what the lycan said was right, he didn’t have a long time left, since the cursed creature was no longer part of him.
"Boy, slow down... I can’t run as fast as you... I am so old for this..."
