Chapter 177

177 The final truth … She stared at me for a second and then lowered on her hind legs , supporting herself with her foreleg .

Everything must have worn her out .

I took another step forward when suddenly , a group of warriors pushed their way through the crowd .

They carried silver chains and wolfsbane powder , And immediately , they rushed at her .

Stop ! 1 shouted at the top of my voice , but the sudden commotion drowned my voice out as my grandfather and a few other elders arrived .

The crowd parted like water before them , creating a path until he came to stand in front .

Take her away , he commanded again , staring pointedly at the warriors who were equally looking at me .

I could see the confusion on their faces .

Before I could intervene , Mirriam stepped forward , standing in the path of the warriors , her white robes swirling around her feet .

We cannot allow this .

And why not ? My grandfather turned to her , his voice dripping with disdain .

Today is the Harvest Moon , Miriam said cooly .

On this sacred night , we cannot permit such violence : He scoffed .

Are you trying to lecture me on whats right on wrong , priestess ? Being the messenger of the Moon Goddess doesnt give you the right to deceive me or challenge me .

We will only capture her , nothing more .

Miriam held her ground .

In matters like this , I have vast knowledge than you , Elder Eldric .

If you had listened to us that night , perhaps tragedy wouldnt have befallen you .

Today is the Harvest Moon .

To harm this creature now would invite the wrath of the goddess herself .

My grandfather remained quiet for a few minutes before he gritted his teeth again .

What happened had nothing to do with what I had done that night ? Your continuous disdain for werewolves , Elder Eldric , will cause you more harm than good .

Spare me your theatrics .

This creature threatens the pack , and I will take care of it .
