[Lucian's POV]
The night hours came as I found myself riding on my horse with my soldier by my side, heading back to Forest Bane pack.
The last thing I had ever thought was doing so, but not after what I had witnessed and heard.
When i had woken up, with my whole body weak from the attack of the enemies and those monsters, I could recall stopping the elders from completing their ritual. A blood of an Alpha, that during the incantation, from what I saw in the book, was sure to affect the rituals.
The whole place drained of life. At least I thought so, seeing the elders' corpses. Not until I had heard one of them gasp for air, coughing out. He was still alive, the same elder I had used as my messenger to the rest.
