Chapter 544

Chapter 544 But she doesn’t belong here. (Akin Spade)

The signals were cut off a few hours ago, and now the power has been cut off. It was as if everything was against us. I’ve been in contact with Reign, and the last I heard from her was when she told me they would leave the ground because it was impossible for them to move forward for now.

“They’ll be fine,” Shiloh must have seen me sitting alone in the garden. He went out with Evelyn and gave it to me.

“It’s just that I can’t contact them anymore,” I complained, showing him my phone screen.

“Correct! What happened to electricity? She also looked puzzled. “I hope they have finished the deadly battle and come back victorious. It’s just that Reign told me that Zane has a bigger army than ours now,” he couldn’t understand how he was able to summon so many warriors so quickly.

Finally, I remember, we practically cleaned the entire area.

“I have a feeling we’ll win,” I know he was trying to be optimistic. But I had fears that wouldn’t let me breathe in peace.

“I hope so too,” I let out a sigh and smiled at Evelyn.

“Hey, I really regret everything I did when I was... I feel so guilty in front of you,” Shiloh looked away when mentioning that cursed part of her life.

“I don’t blame you at all. You were in control of a demon, just like Beatrice. So don’t feel like you have to keep apologizing to us,”

I gave him a confident smile before noticing how dull his eyes looked.

“Are you feeling good?” I asked. “It’s just that, I still have these strange dreams. And you know what? I think I even know my baby’s sxo,” and suddenly smiled at the mention of her son. I can’t imagine how exciting it must be for her and Bernard to think that very soon they will have their own child.

“And can I ask you to share your thoughts with me?” I asked, nudging him playfully. It seemed that if she had a sister, she would be like her.

“Yes! I’m going to have a daughter,” she smiled brightly, showing her white teeth, “and I’ll call her Genevieve Swan!”

“That’s a pretty name,” I had barely begun to think of some funny questions for her when a shout in the distance stole our attention.We share a glance before running to the source of the voice. I had to gesture for him to back off with Evelyn, as it could be anything.

“Ahhh!” a girl was sitting on the road with an iron arrow piercing her shoulder. Everyone in the lair looked frightened and alarmed.

Beatrice’s mother had her restless eyes scanning around and waiting for signs of dismay.

“What happened?” I asked the girl, kneeling beside her.

“It came out of nowhere,” he complained, pursing his lips tightly. When I started inspecting the air, I realized something was extremely wrong. “Everyone go in and close the big silver door,” I shouted, carrying the injured girl and running inside as Shiloh followed closely. The moment we started running like crazy. The crazy people started shooting arrows at us. It was a surprise because we didn’t know they were coming here.

But it soon started to make sense. To keep their plans secret, all signals were turned off. It has to be their job.

Once we rushed into the mansion, we closed the doors, all made of silver. The people of Lair had been preparing for the next war for years. At least the protective measures were not taken lightly.

“What’s your name?” Shiloh asked the injured girl as she sat her on the bed.

“I’m Kristy,” she replied, her lips trembling as she began to cry. Everyone was ready to fight but also too scared to face their enemies.

I’ve seen their courage, but facing Zane wasn’t easy for them.

“Stay prepared,” I left the girl with Shiloh and ran to help the fighters in the lair.

“I saw some movement in the backyard. I think they are trying to surround us so that we have no way out,” Colt quickly approached me, his dragon showing in his eyes as he informed me of the danger lurking around us.

“We have to do anything to keep these people safe, Colt. “Beatrice needs to go back and see them alive and kicking,” I said, expressing my desperation to keep their lair safe.

“Don’t worry, we’ll do our best,” Colt assured me, running into the backyard with the fighters.

As I was about to follow him, I was interrupted by Beatrice’s mother, who seemed a little lost.“Did that girl come with your backpack?” he asked, making me frown.

“The injured girl?” I asked, and when she nodded, I shook my head.

“Don’t! She is from the lair. Her name is Kristy,” I murmured, but I didn’t try to walk away because her face told me that wasn’t the case.

“She’s not from our lair,” she shook her head confidently, and then, to make sure I wasn’t forgetting her, she added, “I’ve been stuck with these people forever. I know I’ve never seen his face here before,” he replied, looking me in the eye.

My heart started pounding because of what I was hearing.

“What do you mean, she’s not from the lair? That can’t be. We didn’t bring her with—”, when I began to understand what was going on, my throat closed at the revelation of Zane’s plan.

“I’m not sure, but it must be from your pack,” as I kept insisting, my body started to get chills since I was sure it didn’t come with us.

So, she was planted here to have access to the mansion.
