The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert
Chapter 45
Chapter 45
Savannah and Kai could hear the sounds of the water threatening their friends’ lives. Water was merciless to shifters unless they were
sirens. Thanks to their regenerative abilities, they could survive if they were thrown into a fire. Bullets were useless because most shifters
moved faster than them. Cold weapons were dangerous only in another shifter’s hands and only if special conditions were met; it had to
be a special type of metal or poison, plus it had to go through the heart. Decapitation was also an option.
But water… water did not need special conditions. If a shifter was trapped under it, it would kill him sooner or later from lack of
oxygen. In the middle ages, it was one of the three types of executions for lycans and werewolves.
The stakes were ridiculously high.
“Where is the entrance to the catacombs?” The Princess demanded as she followed the Northern King.
“Not here,” he informed her, and she froze just for a second bclore anger made her clench her fists.
“What do you mean not here?1” She was furious as this wasn’t the time for jokes or mistakes. The stakes were too high.
“We wouldn’t get there in time if we went to the main entrance that should be unscaled. ” Kai replied, “That is why I am looking for
… this!”
He pointed at a carving on one of the walls, and Savannah stared at him with a raised brow.
“How does that help us exactly?” she wondered, but the Northerner brushed his palm over the carving.
“Everything is not what it seems in the Forgotten City,” he explained and then, as if by magic, the stone with the carving moved,
revealing a small window with metal bars. “This was done for security reasons so that guards could watch over the priests while they
performed rituals in the catacombs.”
But Savannah wasn’t interested in the explanation anymore. There would be time for that later if they survived today. And if not.it
wouldn’t matter.
The little window gave them a view of a closed room full of water, but it was too dark, and they couldn’t see anything else. If there
was some light before, it was gone now. The water level was rising rapidly, and one could tell it would soon reach the window.
“Da.mn it!” Kai swore under his breath, sensing his Beta close. There was no other place for him to be. “Sawy, step away!” he
ordered and closed his eyes, preparing for the shift. He knew very well that he would have to use his third form for this task.
Savannah gasped as she saw his bones breaking as he stood. A transformation to the royal lycan form was different from shifting into
a wolf. It was painful, and usually, it took more time. But not for Kai. He made it look so… easy. Almost effortless. She was nowhere close
to that. However, she was happy that he was able to become the lycan beast. They sure needed one now!
Their eyes met just for a second as she nodded to him in approval, and he knocked the metal bars out of the window, destroying a
generous chunk of the wall along with it.
without hesitation, he shifted back into his human form and dove into the water, his eyes glowing to illuminate the area around him.
Kai followed his instincts and soon saw his Beta floating unconscious, chained to the werebird, who also didn’t show any signs of
life.
