Helanie:
I left Emt’s room in panic and stood in the corridor, staring at the sky while panicking. I was quickly trying to find a solution.
There was only one solution to this problem...
"Co on, pick up my calls," I hissed as I held my phone tightly against my ear, calling Norman.
I had made up my mind. This was the exact reason I went into Emt’s room. I wanted to know if it was him or not. And now that I knew it was him, I had to alert Norman about what Sage and the others were planning for the Lycan.
"Ugh!" Norman didn’t respond, so I called Maximus and even Kaye. But none of them answered. I headed to my room and sat down, hearing the Lycan in the distance.
"It was Emt all this ti," I cupped my face in my hands, wondering why I didn’t realize it sooner.
Of course, it was him.
My mate!
It made sense.
But I wondered if Emt, in his Lycan form, doesn’t rember anything when he transitions back into his human form?
And why the heck was he cursed?
Why was the Moon Goddess so harsh on him? Could that be why he drinks so much? He’s probably trying to hide his pain.
So many thoughts and worries consud that I didn’t realize when I had dozed off while sitting straight on the bed. I woke up just as I was about to lie down unconsciously.
"Ah!" Gasping for air, I jolted awake, and another horror struck when I looked at the light outside the window.
"Shit!" Cursing at myself, I got out of bed and grabbed my shoes. I couldn’t believe I dozed off. Sage had told she would go fetch the caras early in the morning.
I began to type a text for Sage, trying to get a heads-up.
: Did you already leave the house to go grab the caras?
I worriedly bit my bottom lip while sending the text. I knew the wise thing would be to wait a little for her text so that I don’t go and get busted by her. What if she’s at the caves too when I arrive?
But I didn’t care. I could make up a lie later. I left my room, planning to grab the cara myself. The darkness was still covering half the sky, but it would stay for a little while. I managed to get out of the gate fine after telling the guards I was going for an early jog. They only cared until it was two hours past midnight.
As soon as I hit the road, I began to hear footsteps behind . They were heavy and determinedly chasing after .
That was another issue with living in the rogue community. You never know when a monster is coming after you in the dark. I couldn’t even wish for the sun to co out soon because that would an Sage would have already obtained the caras.
As I sped up, the horror behind increased its speed as well. Now, it was right behind , definitely coming for .
"Get away from !" I scread and tried to run when a hand grabbed my arm, stopping from escaping. He was so strong that I swear he lifted off my feet while pulling back.
"Ouch!" I groaned as I got to my feet and faced the so-called monster.
"Norman!" I sighed, placing a hand on my chest when I realized it was just the monster from ho.
"What are you doing sneaking out like that?" He placed his hands on his waist, making realize he was indeed angry about sothing.
What have I done to upset him now?
"I called you several tis! Why didn’t you pick up?" I groaned, angrily pointing at my phone. He cocked his head and closed his eyes as if trying to process what I was asking.
"You are not—I am not responsible for answering you," he muttered through his clenched jaw.
I noticed his dress shirt and pants and grimaced. "You’re always in a suit?"
He let out a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "So what exactly is your problem? wearing a suit or not answering your calls?"
With a very determined and loud voice, I yelled, "You!"
Then I paused and corrected myself. "I ant the Lycan."
His eyes shot wide. "Why are you talking about the Lycan again? Don’t—don’t tell your reason for leaving the mansion so early is the Lycan." There was a threat in his tone. He had warned about staying away from trouble.
"It is, and you should definitely stop asking questions and start following ." I pointed at him and briskly started walking again.
"Helanie, stop giving orders and tell what’s going on. Where are we heading?" He ca after , huffing and puffing.
"Okay, listen, don’t get angry—" I closed my eyes, giving up on walking for a mont.
"What did you do?" he questioned in a low, ’ready to kill’ tone.
"One of us might have put caras in the cave," I admitted, and he narrowed his eyes, silently asking for details. "In the Lycan’s cave."
I finished, and the look on his face said it all. He looked petrified.
"And I know who the Lycan is," I added, watching him take another blow from like a champ.
"Helanie—what the fuck are you talking about?" he gasped, his breathing becoming erratic.
"You guys put caras—why? And what do you plan to do with them?" he asked, now walking past even faster than I was.
"Nothing—I don’t plan to do anything with them. I want to destroy the footage."
As soon as I said that, he slowed down and turned to watch with so many questions on his face.
"Because I know it’s Emt. Emt is the Lycan, isn’t he?"
That question alone thickened the tension in the air. I could see his eyes starting to get teary.
"We need to get that cara out of that cave before sobody else does," he uttered in a very low and sad tone.
