Cooper's lips almost become non-existent as he presses them together. I’m sure that if he wasn’t blindfolded, I would be able to see the fury in his eyes.
We drag him forward and he starts calling for Eris. She glances over her shoulder at him, but then her eyes shift to me before she catches up to Neah.
“Eris, I saved you!” Cooper called out
The words stop her in her tracks. But this time, she doesn’t look back.
“You took away her abilities.” Klaus growls at him.
“Two birds, one stone. She was on the run and she needed to be punished. I punished her and they couldn’t find her. I saved her. I save them all.”
“Is that what you think you are doing, saving them?” Klaus demands. "Taking away their abilities is not saving them."
Cooper doesn’t answer. And I glance up to Eris who has shoved her hands in her pockets and dropped her head forward as she followed the others. Was it an agreement? Klaus had said she had been Cooper's prisoner, but what if it hadn’t started that way?
“No more.” I mutter to Klaus. We quicken our pace, lifting Cooper so his feet can’t touch the floor. He tries desperately to get us to talk, making threats, asking questions, but mostly pleading with Klaus to help him. The realisation that it wasn’t working was soon becoming reality.
The women disappear around the corner that leads up to Black Shadow’s gates. By the time we get there, the gates are wide open and I could already see a huge number of shifted Wolves and Lycans waiting with Neah and Dane standing at the front ready to hunt.
“What’s happening?” Cooper demands as we come to a stop. Klaus and I lower him until his feet are firmly on the ground. He struggles against us and Neah nods at me.
Letting go of his shoulders, I release the belt locking his wrists together. He frantically pulls off the blindfold and stills.
“You think this scares me?” His eyes move across the waiting creatures. He starts muttering something beneath his breath. I slam my fist into his jaw for a second time.
“Fucker!” He growls as he holds his jaw
“It seems that you enjoy playing games.” Neah’s voice is cold and her eyes are dark. “So let’s play a game.”
“You will have five seconds.” Dane smiles at him
“For what?” Cooper demands
“A head start. I will start counting the moment you enter the forest and then, well, I will let you figure out the rest.”
Cooper snorts. “You can’t find me if you can’t scent me.”
Brax creeps up behind him and slices a blade down the length of his back. He takes a piece of fabric and rubs it over Cooper’s blood.
“Bastard.” Cooper growls
“Thanks.” Brax smiles at him as he takes the bloodied cloth to the crowd and passes it around. Everyone inhalesthe bloody scent.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
