There was this light that flickered from her pocket when she hoped there was someone
up
the bonfire again, but all of them seemed unbothered by the cold, night wind.
Iris blinked her eyes and reached out to her pocket only to find the small fire magic stone there. In the dark, it glowed beautiful. The surface of the stone was the color of red, but the last time she saw it, it was a dark red, yet right now, it was light red.
Iris was amazed to see the stone, she had never seen something so magical like this, though she heard many stories about the magician and sorcerer and how great of the power that those magic users held.
The stone was so warm and somehow, this made her whole body also felt warm, by clutching onto it.
Mesmerized by what she was seeing, she forgot about her fear of the darkness that still. surrounded her, because right now she had this tiny light in her hands.
This is so beautiful. She was enchanted and kept staring at the stone that the size was only a joint of her finger.
She stared intensely and saw something flickered inside. Did she see something. wrong? There was fire inside.
Iris frowned. Was the other magic stone also had the element inside of it as well?
Somehow, Iris became very curious about those magic users and hoped she could meet one. Right now, she didn’t even realize that two people had been missing from the cave.
“Shift!” Cane growled ferociously. His body was reeked by the smell of the blood of those savages that they had killed.
He managed to arrive in nick of time before those savages were the one, who finished. his gamma off.
However, the brown wolf growled at him instead. He refused to shift back into his. human form, as he licked his wounds. He was wounded pretty heavily and it would take
hours for him to heal.
Running out of his patience for his gamma little rebellion, Cana used his alpha’s voice to force him to shift into his human skin because they couldn’t communicate freely when they were in their beast form.

“SHIFT!”
Right at that instant, Ethan shifted, as he huddled at the corner, holding his wounded arm, while it still bleeding profusely.
Seeing this, Cane really wanted to add more to his injuries, but of course, that was only a fleeting anger because Ethan was the one who had caused this ruckus and endangered his life.
“Do you know what you have done?!” He strode toward his gamma angrily, but he only glared at him. This was the side of Ethan that not many people knew.
Some people would see him as a happy go lucky guy and smile all the time, he could be so goofy some time, leaving people wondering if those ten years didn’t have any effect on him at all.
But the truth was; he was not different from them all. The wounds were so deep to be
healed.
“I told you not to do anything!” Cane’s eyes filled with rage, yet the gamma held his eyes and reciprocated it with the same ferocity.
“I never agreed to that!” he growled.
“Don’t growl at me!”
Ethan lowered his head, as he whimpered, because of the pain that was inflicted, since he resisted the alpha’s command. Cane didn’t want to resort with this method, but this was the only way for him to make him behave.
“I am going to kill them all. I am going to kill them all. I am going to kill them all.” Ethan kept repeating the same thing over and over again, as he rocked his body, he stared at the ground, but actually he didn’t really see anything, he was trapped in his own mind. “Kill them. Kill them. We must to kill them.”
Seeing this, Cane closed his eyes and crouched down in front of him, he sat down next to him and patted his back without saying anything, just like when they were still in the prison after they were being tortured.
Comforting words were bullshit, they couldn’t use that, thus the only way that they could do to make things a little bit easier was to make sure that they were not alone, there would be someone sat next to you and be there for you.
Cane lifted his head and watched the night sky, while the carcasses of the savages scattered on the cold ground of this cave.

There were also a few injuries on his arms, but all of those had started to heal.

Right now, the only sound that could be heard in this quiet cave was Ethan’s voice, chanting the same eerie sentences again and again, until he fell asleep, too exhausted to stay the whole night.
Cane only woke him up when the sky turned a little bit brighter in the distance and both of them returned to the other cave, but none of them talked about what happened last night. It was almost like a taboo topic for them to talk about how they had a mental breakdown every now and then.
However, once they were inside the cave, everyone was already up and was ready to go.
“Where have you gone?!” Redmond chided once he saw Ethan. It supposed to be him the next round to stand guard, but this man had gone, leaving them in vulnerable state without anyone looked after them. “Are you out of your mind?! We can be slaughtered in the middle of our sleep!”
He was exaggerated things, even though they were deep in sleep, as a shifter, their instinct would kick in if they felt something was wrong around them.
“Enough!” Cane said sternly to Redmond.
The warrior glared at the alpha. He was about to retort, but then he glanced behind Cane’s back. “Where is Iris?” he asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Iris is not here. I thought because both of you missing, she must be with you.” Redmond and the rest of the men were alarmed.
