Chapter 239

THEON

We were just a company of five Miro, Dominic, El, Diana and myself standing in the Central, which we all collectively named Rogueland.

We arrived at dawn and the moment we went past the “DANGERS DO NOT CROW” sign on the border next to the five lifeless and rottening bodies hanging by ropes around their necks, I immediately felt eyes on me.

Covering my nose, I stayed on alert. My eyes roamed everywhere and the way the others looked around, I could tell they felt the same way, too.

“We’re being watched.” Miro whispered as we emerged in a vast land surrounded by hills,

Everywhere was quiet so quiet that not even a bird chirped.

Yet, I could feel a mixture of heat and goosebumps from the roots of my hair to the soles of my combat boots.

Dominic, who was in our midst, stepped forward, holding his fisted hand up to signal us to stop. We obeyed, and then he went further, giving us some space. After looking around at the valley, he took a deep breath and raised his voice.

“My name is Dominic Tarrent!” His voice echoed across the space. “Alpha King of the North. I would like to speak to your leader. There’s something I need from him.”

For a brief second, silence prevailed and then, out of nowhere, a long spear came out, heading straight for Dominic’s heart at lightning speed. My fingers twitched with panic, but to my surprise, Dominic stepped to the side by just a fraction and caught the spear effortlessly.

He flipped the spear in his hand before throwing it on the ground in front of him. “I just want to talk!” He bellowed and to my utter dismay, a cloud of arrows darkened the sky before lunging for us.

“Oh, crap!” Miro muttered, sharing a glance with Dominic.

“Now!” Dominic ordered, and we all stepped to his side, took a deep breath, channeled our wolves, and let out the biggest roar of our lives.

A roar so loud, every arrow back flipped out of our presence and even the hills trembled.
