NovelEnglishChapter 0328 “You've done more than enough,” I assured her. “We got through the clearing. Release the barrier.” I felt the tension lessen and I knew the shield was no longer intact. I let out a breath of air.
“I think I found something,” Ethan said through the mindlink, drawing all of our attention down a long and dark hallway.
My mother’s scent grew potent as I went down the hallway, which only made me run to Ethan's location that much faster. Ethan stood in front of a large wooden doorway with a worried expression on his face.
“It’s locked,” Ethan said. “But it reeks
like rogue.” “This whole place reeks like rogue,” Jack said, scrunching his nose. ar I tuned them out and ran with all my force and speed toward the door. I slammed the shoulder of my wolf into the door, ignoring the pain I felt in my body. I ran again and slammed into the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe third time I ran into the door, Ethan and Jack ran with me. All three of us ran into the door and the door broke off its hinges and went tumbling down a long flight of stairs. I would have fallen down the stairs myself if Ethan hadn’t grabbed my arm to keep me steady.
“Let’s go,” I ordered my gammas who were quick to run down the stairs.
There were more rogues we had to take care of but we soon found the holding cell they were keeping my mother.
“Where’s Paul?” Ethan asked, looking around the underground dungeon.
I smelled the air, only picking up the heavy smell of rogues and then a faint smell of Volana wolves. He's had other Volanas here besides my mother.
The thought of him keeping Lila here made my stomach uneasy.
My mother lay on the ground; her breathing was shallow, and she was badly beaten.
“I think I found the keys,” Jack said from the desk across the room.
He dangled a set of keys in the air and tossed them to me. I grabbed them in the air and went to unlock the cell my
mother was in.
It took a couple of tries to find the correct key, but soon, the cell door was open, and my gamma was running into the cell.
“We need to get her to the pack doctor,” one of them said, checking for a pulse. “She has a very light pulse and she’s breathing. But barely.” “Get her to safety,” I ordered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe nodded and lifted her off the ground, securing her on the back of his wolf. Her head dangled over, and her body was completely limp. I hated seeing her this way; my heart shattered at the thought of what she must have gone through.
I should have been there to protect her, but I wasn’t.
“We should get out of here too, Alpha,” Ethan said, stepping beside me. “I'm getting a bad feeling. A lot of the rogues took off quickly and Paul is nowhere to be seen.” I sent a mindlink to the warriors who remained outside with Lila.
“How’s Lila” I asked as we sealed the dungeon cell and made our way back up the stairs.
“She’s in pain, Alpha. I'm not sure what happened. But she needs medical attention.” My heart fell into my stomach. All the attacks on my body, Lila must have felt. I glanced down at my arm which was healing slowly. It would have healed faster but it was a silver dagger.
As we got back upstairs, I froze when I heard something clattering to the ground. Before I could fully grasp what, it was, I heard Ethan and Jack screaming at the same time, “ENZO!!! RUN!!!” It was a grenade.
I wasted no time in running towards the doorway with all the speed I could musk.
As soon as I reached the door: KABOOM!
