Chapter One Hundred and Eight One-
Chapter One Hundred and Eighty One
“I would have preferred going with you,” Nick says.
“You have to stay here,” I reminded him.
Nick helped me with the hood mask; I was fully clothed; only my eyes and the little portion for my wings were left unclothed. A sword had been secured to my side, two daggers in my boot, and a single gun at the other side of my hip. I was armed.
The scenturia potion emitted a sharp smell but I could live through that. I stared at the mirror. I wouldn’t recognize ‘me‘. Green contact lenses had been used to cover the blue of my eyes.
“Ready?” he asked me, and I nodded
But the truth was that I wasn’t ready; I wasn’t ready to see Thane again. Neither was I ready to return back to the Nightshade pack.
“We would see soon,” he says as if hoping for any reassurance from me, but I didn’t trust my voice to speak, so I only nodded again. “Remember, the paths are all on the map,” he added, patting my back.
We stared at each other; this was the moment we were supposed to kiss, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that, not with all the nerves I felt.
“Goodbye, for now,” I managed to say before soaring into the air and leaving Nick behind.
The soldiers sent with me had gone ahead; I was to meet up with them. I stared at the beautiful view of the buildings as I went on.
My wings spread at my sides; the beautiful gray and white color shone in the sun. I was different, I felt different. This had been a risk worth taking; sure, I could have died, but I
didn’t.
The night had fallen upon us by the time I arrived, and the soldiers waited outside the pack boundaries. I concealed my wings before approaching them. I didn’t know exactly why Nick kept the truth about himself a secret, but I didn’t think flaunting was a good idea.
“Queen” the soldiers called, giving a low bow in synchrony; I didn’t bother correcting them
this time.
“The Nightshade soldiers had vacated the eastern borders; they must have completed their shift for the night; we have thirty minutes or less before a new badge arrives. We would have to go, two at a time,” I said, quickly paring them up. “If you are in trouble, raise a signal,“.
I went in last, but by then my time was up and two soldiers approached to guide the boundary.
I had an advantage; they couldn’t perceive my scent. That was something.

I hid behind a tree, frozen in place. As the soldier drew closer, I held my breath. But luck wasn’t on my side. One of them glanced sideways and our eyes met. He’d spotted me. My instinct was to run and hide, but I couldn’t do that.
My hands wrapped around my gun and I pulled it out.
“Wait,” he called to the other man. “Who is there?”
“There is no one there…” the other one began before spotting me.
I had never seen these soldiers before, so maybe they were new recruits; at least they would be easier to kill.
The first one pointed a gun at me, but before he could fire, I shot at him; the bullet dug into his skull, killing him instantly. The other one shot at me, but I managed the dodge; the bullet bruised the side of my arm, I shut him next in the heart, giving them a quick death.
I stared at the two dead bodies.
They would have killed me if I didn’t act fast, yet that didn’t make me feel any less guilty.
