âThe line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.â
Philip Zimbardo
TEMPLAR P.O.V
The temple has been attacked. Four times in two weeks.
Even though there were around seven guards, the temple still got attacked.
Someone targeted the temple statue this time just like they said they would. The arrow had hit the wall behind the statue. The person who shot the arrow missed their target, is what I like to assume.
I inspected the hole in the wall carefully. âShow me the arrowâ I told Cam and he handed me the arrow, which shockingly wasnât as light as I presumed it to be. It was made of bronze and the name of the company was also etched in it.
âFind who purchased thisâ I said handing the arrow back to Cam. âAlso I want a quick patchwork here to cover this holeâ I commanded walking out of the temple towards Rett who was talking with the guards.
âI suppose they might have shot the arrow at a distance of one-fifty to two hundred yards. I already asked guards to search thereâ Cam said walking beside me.
âI really need some clue on this because this person does as he or she saysâ I mumbled softly.
âI think I have some clue as to who it might beâ Keith announced and every single head turned to look at him.
âWho?â I demanded.
âA Ryker thatâs for sureâ he said and my eyes widened. Ryker? Glenâs father? Rett had told me that he was alive but he is out here for revenge too?
âWe know that tooâ Rett said with a frown.
âYes. But we werenât sureâ Keith contradicted, âBut now I am sure.â
âWhy?â I asked.
âSee⦠all the attacks on temple so far were done from outside. I wasnât so sure after the first one because it was the garden but this time, they wanted to harm the statue. If you see the record so far, most invaders would step inside the temple to destroy it or steal somethingâ Keith said and I furrowed my brows not understanding where exactly was he going with this logic. âBut our attacker, whom I would like to call as âEvil wolfâ didnât do it because he couldnât do it that way.â
âCouldnât?â Rett asked cocking an eyebrow.
âThose who worship the dark moon goddess are not immune to silverâ Keith stated in a tone that expected huge applause.
âHow do you know that?â I asked with furrowed brows because this was news to me.
âI read it in the bookâ Keith replied and I narrowed my eyes. What book?
âIt was there in that book?â Rett demanded and I frowned. I seriously wanted to know which book they were all talking about.
âYes. Did you skip some chapters?â Keith enquired.
âI didnât. You took the book before I could readâ Rett answered acidly.
âWhat book are you talking about?â Jan asked marching towards us while also cradling a surprisingly for-now silent Luka.
âAnyway, it is clearly mentioned in the book that the devotees of dark moon goddess are vulnerable to silver and I know itâs true because Glen had used Igor to burn the temple first. Only after that he was able to enter the temple and destroy the statue, that too with a hammer not with his own handsâ Keith continued ignoring Janâs question.
âHe is rightâ Jan agreed all of a sudden. âRemember Glen used to keep the pieces of statue inside a black cloth? I always wondered why and now I have the answerâ she said with a cheeky grin. Luka who saw her grin flashed his own grin.
âThat means anyone who worship the dark moon goddess not just Rykerâsâ I concluded lightly tracing Lukaâs soft cheeks with my little finger.
âBut our enemy are the Rykerâs⦠at least so far itâs only themâ Keith pointed out and I blenched. Since all pack are aware that I am a white wolf, I knew the number of our enemies have increased, just like I once thought it would.
âSo what exactly happens to them when they touch silver?â I asked Keith.
âOh⦠Nothing happens to the evil wolf but the silver turns dark when they touch them. It tarnishes. Loses its shine and turns blackâ
âAnd that is why they cannot enter the temple?â
âThe temple is a holy place and since they are involved in dark practices, they cannot enter the temple. Just like a devil cannot enter a church.â Keith concluded and I nodded.
âThis was mentioned in the book you both are talking about?â I asked Keith and Rett, who nodded as a reply. âWhere is this book now?â
âItâs with meâ Keith answered.
âItâs your book?â
âNo. Itâs Genessaâsâ Rett replied and I raised my brows in surprise.
Genessa! Myronâs mate.
My friend found his mate and I didnât even congratulate him. I am such a terrible friend. I vaguely remember Genessa looking at me curiously when we were returning from ThunderSky, but I was so overcome with misery that I didnât even acknowledge her presence. She might think I am some snob.
I really needed to talk to Myron.
âWhat are you thinking?â Rett asked interestedly.
âMyron and Genessa. I must call himâ I replied with a sigh.
âThere is no need for thatâ Rett stated and I scowled at him. He better not stop me from talking to Myron. âWe are going to FireLight tonight.â
âWe are?â I asked in surprise.
âYes. Genessa is officially going to be announced as the Luna of FireLight tonightâ he said with a shrug.
âOh My! Thatâs wonderfulâ I beamed in delight.
âMyron called last weekâ
âAnd you didnât tell me?â I pouted.
âI forgotâ Rett said and I rolled my eyes.
I was just happy that I could be part of that occasion. Itâs such a big day for Myron. âWho else is coming with us?â I asked looking at my best friend.
âSome guards I suppose and definitely Cam, Sveta and Lukaâ Keith answered and Rett nodded.
âWhy arenât you guys coming?â
âWe have to take care of the packâ Keith answered sincerely and I winced. Was it okay? Leaving pack and going when it is getting attacked every night.
Jan, who saw my frown, walked towards me and bumped her shoulders against mine, âDonât worry. Tonight most of us will take turns to guard the templeâ she said and I nodded.
âTonight nothing like that will happenâ Rett announced in firm determination and I furrowed my brows.
âWhat are you going to do?â Keith asked before I could.
âI have something planned to which I need your helpâ Rett replied and Keith nodded without any hesitation. I didnât bother interfering because I trusted both of them and I knew they would do anything they think is fit for the protection of the temple.
I gently touched the skirt of the emerald green dress that I was planning to wear tonight. I was excited to meet Myronâs mate and befriend her. Things would be just plain awkward if we do not get along and I didnât want that. Rett and Jan got along well with her and if they liked her, then I knew I would like her too.
Sighing, I kept the dress on the couch and went downstairs, to talk to Rett but stopped in my tracks when I saw him leaning against the threshold of the door with his arms crossed against his chest.
âNice dressâ he commented and I blushed. Walking closer, he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my nose. I chuckled and rested my cheek against his chest.
âWe will find out the culprit, wonât we?â I asked Rett and he replied with a yes. âGoodâ I mumbled softly. It felt good to be in his arms like this. If my wolf was responsive, then she would have just loved it. However, she was taking her time to recover and I let her take her time. âWhat are you wearing tonight?â I queired looking up.
âFormalsâ he said and I grinned. I loved it when he wore formals. He looked very, very sexy in them.
âWhy are you grinning Mrs. Green?â Rett asked cocking an eyebrow and I frowned.
âDonâtâ I snapped and he purposely did it again. I stomped my foot and walked towards the closet to pick earrings for the dress. Rett just laughed and followed after me.
As I was opening the jewelry case, Rett mumbled something. Before I could ask him, he rushed downstairs.
A minute later, he was back holding a velvet pouch. âWhat is that?â I asked curiously.
âYour chain. It fell on the wayâ he answered pulling out the silver chain and I smiled. Rettâs grandmotherâs chain. The one he gave me before proposing me. Picking my hair with both my hands, I turned, so that he could put it on me.
After he was done, I stared at the bright shining silver, âYou polished it?â I questioned and he nodded. Since I knew why, I didnât bother asking.
Around twelve in the noon, I went downstairs to cook for lunch but before that I decided to ask Rett if he wanted something special.
When I went to his office, I found an eraser and scale on the floor along with some papers. Picking it up, I placed it on the table and looked around.
Looked like Rett was in a hurry to go somewhere and forgot to keep the paperweight on them. Sighing, I arranged it neatly and then went out.
I followed his scent and reached the middle of the woods were a heated argument was going on between some wolves.
âWhatâs going on?â I queired walking towards them. They stopped arguing and turned to look at me. My gaze darkened when I noticed tears in Janâs eyes.
Why is my best friend crying?
âWhatâs wrong?â I demanded.
âThe guards found this hereâ Cam answered showing me a wrist watch. One look at the watch and I knew it belonged to Terence.
âSo?â I asked in confusion.
âThis is where the archer stood and targeted the temple statueâ Cam announced and I straightened my spine.
No.
âThis is ridiculousâ Jan whispered. âTem, tell them soâ she pleaded.
I turned to look at Terence who was staring at the ground. âWhy are you not defending yourself?â I snapped at him. He looked up, stared at me once and then shrugged. I gaped at him in disbelief.
âWhat the fuck are you doing?â I hissed walking closer to my brother. âI know you wouldnât do something like this, then why?â I snapped through gritted teeth.
âJust play alongâ Rett said calmly in my mind and I blinked.
Looking around, I found Rett leaning against a tree with his hands buried inside his pocket. His blue eyes expressionless. âWhat?â
âJust play along. Terence is keeping quiet because I asked him to. He is the only friend I have and I trust him with my life. I know well and good that Terence isnât involved in something so horrendous but the real culprit wants us to believe so, which is why letâs just go with the flowâ Rett explained calmly and I inhaled sharply. Gulping, I turned to look at Jan who was looking at me through teary eyes.
I closed my eyes shut because I knew she wasnât involved in this plan. I hated doing this but for the pack and the temple, I would do it.
Taking a deep breath, I hid all my emotions and then looked at Terence with an expressionless face. âDid you do it?â I asked Terence through gritted teeth.
My heart started pounding in my chest, the moment I heard Jan gasp and staring at me in incredulity. âI asked did you do it?â I snapped a little louder and Jan growled in warning, all ready to defend her mate.
I knew my best friend would stand against me now and I detested myself for putting myself as well as her in that position. But for the pack and the protection of the temple, it was indeed a very small sacrifice.
âTerenceâ I called through gritted teeth.
âNo. He didnât do it and I canât believe you are asking your brother thatâ Jan imparted glaring at me.
Without looking at Jan, I muttered thickly, âJan, please donât interfere. I just want to know how Terenceâs watch is here.â
âAnd you think it fell when he stood here with a bow and an arrow while targeting the statue?â she asked through gritted teeth. âLook at meâ Jan yelled at me when I didnât turn to face her. âI want you to tell that to my face, Templarâ she growled out and in a flash, Rett was standing beside me.
âI did not do itâ Terence whispered meekly.
âI do not believe youâ Rett said to Terence. âProve your innocence.â
âHe will not prove anythingâ Mike, Janâs dad snapped glaring at Rett. âI trust him and I know he wouldnât do it.â
âThat is not the impression we are getting hereâ Rett said keeping his face blank. âI cannot take any risk when it comes to temple security. I cannot give Terence the benefit of doubt.â
âTemâ Jan called and I gulped. âCanât you see⦠this⦠everything is happening to break us.â I can see⦠I can see that. âActually, itâs you⦠you Wayneâs are being targeted. First, Teresa got killed, yesterday the guard blamed you and now Terenceâ she said and I finally turned to face my friend.
âTeresa got killed?â I asked her in a barely audible voice. Teresa was murdered? Not an accident?
Oh Dear Goddess! Things were really terrible.
I turned to look at Rett wondering whether he knew it. One look at the guilt in his eyes and I knew, he kept the truth from me. âWhy?â I asked in a whisper and Rett gulped.
âTemplarâ¦â he tried to touch my hand but I took a step back and Rett flinched.
âWhy did you not tell me? I had a right to knowâ I shouted in outrage. âHow could you keep something so big from me? I can understand if you didnât want to tell it to Trudy, but me-â
âDidnât want to tell me, what?â Trudy spoke abruptly cutting me off and I flinched. âWhatâs going on?â Trudy grilled walking towards us, protectively placing her hand over her belly.
âTrudy? What are you doing here?â Keith asked walking towards her.
âI came here for a walk, heard a commotion. Whatâs happening between you guys these days?â she demanded Keith with a frown. âAnd donât lie to me.â
âNothing. Rett and Templar are fighting. Nothing elseâ Keith retorted and I looked away.
âFighting?â Trudy asked, her green eyes puzzled. âDonât lie to meâ she admonished Keith and then walked towards me. Holding my arms, she turned me so that I could face her. âWhat happened?â she questioned in a whisper, her green eyes piercing my soul.
I couldnât hold her gaze for long and so, I looked away and muttered, âA fight. He didnât tell me that the temple got attackedâ I mumbled and Trudy gasped.
âWhy not?â she turned to glare at Rett. âShe has a right to know about itâ my sister snapped at Rett who closed his eyes and clenched his fist. âShe was the Alpha of this pack for nearly six years and she has a right to know whatever happens in this pack. You shouldnât keep such important stuff from herâ Trudy reprimanded.
Keith walked closer to her, placed his hands on her shoulders and whispered near her ears, âLetâs go home baby, they will sought this out.â
âYou betterâ she snapped glaring at Rett, who returned the glare. I couldnât help but smile because it was difficult for Rett to argue with her. However, my smile vanished when Trudy turned to glare at me. âWatching you stressed after the recent events, I suppose he didnât want to escalate it. Maybe thatâs why he kept it from you?â Trudy reminded bluntly and I blinked.
My gaze clashed with Everettâs pacific blue ones, âIs it true?â I asked in a soft voice. Rett nodded as a reply and I swallowed audibly.
I couldnât blame him when he kept the truth for my sake. I still wanted to know who killed Teresa and why?
âSeeâ Trudy said all of a sudden with a smile. âNow, donât fight like kids. Go home, have lunchâ she advised and finally let Keith, walk her home.
âTemplar, we will talk about this later, letâs focus on Terence nowâ Rett reminded and I nodded weakly.
When I was sure Trudy was gone, I turned to face Terence. âYou want to tell something?â I asked him.
âNothingâ he mumbled feebly.
âThis is the plan of the real culprit- the evil wolfâ Jan said in fury. âHe wants you to doubt Terence and you are doing just thatâ she snapped running a hand through her hair.
âShe is right, Templarâ Mike said and I looked away.
âI am not going to take any riskâ Rett announced from beside me and Jan growled.
âHe is your best friendâ she launched at Rett. âTerence, baby, please tell them the truth. You were looking for your watch today morning. I know you didnât do thisâ she cried holding his arms and I felt my heart sink to my stomach as I watched my best friend this helpless. Knowing that I am hurting her made me feel disgusted at myself.
âHe has to prove his innocenceâ Rett declared and I furrowed my brows.
âHe will not prove anythingâ Mike barked. âWe didnât ask Templar to prove her innocence when Edward blamed herâ Mike pointed out and I inhaled sharply. âWe trusted her and I expect the same trust from you both at Terence.â
Rett growled in warning and took a threatening step forward, âTemplarâs watch wasnât lying near the templeâ Rett barked furiously and Mike lowered his gaze.
âTerence will stay in prison tonightâ Rett announced and I sucked in a breath. âIf there is another attack tonight, then we will know that Terence is innocentâ he said in his Alpha tone and everyone lowered their heads.
I could see Cam, Ophelia wanting to argue but throughout the whole scenario, they kept their mouth shut.
Jan held my hand and yanked me so that I could face her, âDo you agree with this?â she asked in a whisper and I gulped.
I donât. I donât.
âYesâ
My face dropped sideward and I reeled back in total shock as Jan slapped me across the cheek.
There was loud gasp from everyone and I blinked as I felt numbness in my cheek.
âJanuaryâ Rett thundered pushing me behind him and standing right in front of her face. âHow dare you?â he snarled. I stood shaken behind him at the force of the blow, but I didnât blame Jan too.
To her, it looked like I broke her trust and hurt her deeply.
I felt the same however, I knew why I was doing this but she didnât. Hence I could understand her anger.
âApologizeâ Rett commanded and I snapped out of my stupor.
âRett, never mindâ I said through the link placing my hand on his arm only to realize that he was shaking in fury. âPleaseâ I whispered miserably and immediately Rett turned to look at me. His blue eyes were replaced with dark ones and I knew his wolf was in bay. As he saw the vulnerability in me, he blinked and soon the pacific blue eyes, which I loved so much, were back.
âShe took it too farâ Rett said through gritted teeth.
âCan you really blame her? I hurt her badly.â
âNot intentionallyâ he said with a frown, gently running his thumb on my cheek. It had itâs soothing effect and I smiled warmly.
âBut she doesnât know thatâ I pointed out and Rett grumbled.
âAlrightâ he said with a frown and then turned to face Terence and Jan.
âTake him to prison, nowâ Rett announced.
Hesitantly two guards stepped forward but didnât hold Terenceâs arm.
âWaitâ Jan said feebly, staring at her hands. I gasped when I noticed the blood in her hands. She dug her own claws into her palm after she slapped me. She hurt herself.
I was about to rush towards her and hug her, but Rett warned me not to. With all my power, I stopped myself.
âI will go with him tooâ she said and again there were loud gasps from everyone.
âJanâ I called but she didnât look at me. However, I did see tears dripping from her eyes.
âPleaseâ she said looking at Rett who nodded. I closed my eyes because I knew why she was doing this. She was doing this to punish herself for slapping me.
Oh No!
She really doesnât have to do this. I didnât want her doing this even though I knew we were doing this to find the evil wolf.
âI am sorry on behalf of Janâ Terence said quietly in my mind. âI didnât know she wouldâ¦â
âNot her faultâ I said cutting him off.
EVERETT P.O.V
I was talking with Keith when Templar stepped inside the room. She looked absolutely stunning in the green dress that she had picked earlier today with her hair tied up. âYou look beautiful as always Mrs. Greenâ I said and softly pecked her cheek.
She smiled but the smile didnât reach her eyes.
âDonât worry about Terence and January. I will not let anything happen to them. Besides, Terence knows this is all a planâ I said and she nodded.
âI just hope Jan doesnât hate meâ she mumbled lowly and I gently kissed her cheek where January had slapped her earlier.
My blood boiled and my wolf growled in anger as he thought about that. Friend or not, she shouldnât have assaulted my mate. I wanted to strangle January right then and there, but prevented myself because I knew Templar would strangle me, if I hurt her best friend.
Templar didnât blame January and I knew why.
However, whole day, she was worried about it and I felt bad for making her do this. But it should have been believable for the real culprit and I am sure what happened earlier was believable enough for the real culprit.
âLetâs go?â I asked and she nodded.
It was six in the evening and the sun was about to set. FireLight Pack was a good two hoursâ drive from WaterWave and I knew it would be dark by the time we reach there.
Cam and Sveta had left immediately after lunch with their son.
âWake me up when we reach thereâ Templar said closing her eyes and resting back against the seat. Sleeping in the evening, it was a very strange habit she developed after the miscarriage. Every day, she would sleep from six in the evening to eight at night.
I turned to look at her and smiled softly when I realized that she had already fallen asleep.
I brought my car to an abrupt halt right in front of Myronâs house. I had been to FireLight Pack twice so far and both the times it had been for a function.
However tonight, it looked like the FireLight Pack was celebrating Christmas. Every house had lightning and other decorations.
I turned to face Templar who woke up as soon as I brought my car to a halt. âGood morningâ I teased and she blinked in confusion. âCome on, letâs go meet your friend and his mate. We have to leave soon, should reach home before twelveâ I said and she nodded.
When I was about to hold her hand, she didnât let me and I frowned. Templar looked up, her brown eyes clashing against mine in dead seriousness, âAre you not worried about the temple?â she asked me and I nodded. âThen we should go back right?â she whispered and I blinked in confusion.
âYou wanted to be hereâ I reminded her and she sighed.
âI know⦠I am just worried about the temple. I mean, there were guards around but still that didnât prevent the attackerâ she muttered looking around.
âDonât worry. Tonight, we will catch the culpritâ I swore and Templar gave me a startled look.
âHow?â she asked in a whisper.
âI have cameraâs hidden almost everywhere in the woods. Even a fly will be caught by the lensâ I imparted with a smirk and Templar gulped.
âOhâ she whispered and I furrowed my brows. Before I could ask her what was wrong, I saw Myron and Genessa approaching us.
âYou cameâ Myron said hugging Templar, who smiled warmly.
âYesâ she said cheerfully. âI said I would, didnât I?â Templar turned to look at me and I blinked.
What just happened?
âHiâ Genessa said smiling in delight and staring at Templar in awe. âI am so glad you came hereâ she said and to my shock, engulfed Templar in a very affectionate hug.
Templar smiled and returned the hug rather awkwardly. I knew Genessaâs behavior must have surprised Templar.
âWhen will the ceremony start?â I questioned Myron while we all walked towards the clearing.
âIn about twenty minutesâ he said and I nodded. Templar and Genessa were walking ahead of us, with Genessa chatting continuously while Templar would answer only when needed. I furrowed my brows because Templar looked a little suffocated here.
I wondered if Genessa was irritating her or if she was worried about the temple. But I think the latter was more likely.
âCam told me everything that happened in the packâ Myron said in a low voice and I stiffened. âThis does look like a ploy to destroy Wayneâs and I am sure the father is involved.â
âBut I donât know where the bastard is hidingâ I said through gritted teeth.
âWe will find him soon. I already asked Darrell to search for Simon Rykerâ
âThanksâ I said and he nodded.
âWhatâs wrong with Templar?â Myron demanded all of a sudden and I frowned. âShe seemed a bit different.â
âDifferent?â I asked cocking an eyebrow.
âTemplar seemed nervous⦠petrified tooâ he retorted staring at Templar with hawk like gaze. âDull, uninterestedâ¦.â He kept on listing with a frown.
I knew what he was saying was true. Templar had been like that ever since the miscarriage.
âVery unlike Templarâ he murmured looking at me. âShe used to be lively and strong but I suppose losing the babyâ¦â
âShe is worried about Temple as well as Januaryâ I said and Myron gave me a weak smile.
âThey are best friends. They will get over thisâ he stated calmly. Someone from his pack called him and so, Myron walked away dragging Genessa along. I turned and looked for Templar and found her talking with some woman.
I found Cam standing around the corner and talking with Darrell and so I decided to join them because I hardly knew wolves in this pack.
While I was walking towards them, I stopped in my tracks and gazed at Patriciaâs statue in front of the FireLight Pack temple.
Even though I had seen the statue before, now I was seeing it in a different perspective. Because now, I was aware a lot about Patriciaâs history. She was quite a warrior and powerful⦠oh yes! Very powerful.
A born leader!
Templar has that capability too but she rarely chooses to be a leader.
Sighing, I stared at the statue which very much resembled her painting in the book. It was placed on a pedestal, human sized with flat tones. It was curvaceous, earthy and dramatic because Patricia was holding an ignited metal torch. Her hair as described in the book was curly, and when you looked at the statue it felt like she was looking right at you.
They say you were a warrior. Fighting for our kind and protecting us from evil. The same evil has now surrounded us again. Help me in finding who that evil is, so that I can protect my pack as well as my mate. I prayed silently with closed eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I blinked and took a step back because for a second I felt the statue would move.
Shaking my head at my nonsensical thought, I went to look for Templar.
âGenessa Carrie, my mate and Luna of the FireLight Packâ Myron announced proudly and soon the crowd cheered. I looked at Templar, who was clapping with a soft smile.
âAre you tired?â I whispered near her eye and she jumped.
âDonât do thatâ she said glaring at me and I blinked. âAnd yes, I am tired. Can we go home?â she asked me and I nodded.
âLetâs just talk to Myron before leavingâ I murmured and Templar nodded with a cute smile.
Holding her hand, I began walking towards Myron but he and Genessa were already rushing towards the pack temple for the prayer.
I followed after them because I wanted to talk to him before the hour long prayer starts.
âQuick, letâs say our goodbyes before the prayer startsâ I mumbled and Templar nodded. When I turned to look, I couldnât see where Myron was. I found Genessa who was talking with some girl standing near the temple door. Sighing, I decided to at least inform her that we were leaving.
We entered the temple premises and when we were about to climb the stairs, Templar stopped in her tracks.
I turned to look at her questioningly.
âMy head hurtsâ she whimpered and I furrowed my brows.
âWhatâs wrong?â I asked holding her arms. My wolf started panicking and I wondered what happened to Templar.
âI will just wait for you near the car alright. Can you please say bye to Myron on behalf of meâ she asked sincerely.
âSureâ I said and then leaned forward to peck her lips. My lips barely touched hers because Templar pulled back quickly.
âI am sorryâ she whispered in a wobbly voice.
I blinked and leaned backwards when I noticed something odd.
Templar smiled sadly and then turned to leave. Holding her elbows, I stopped her and compelled her to face me. She stumbled on her steps, but composed herself and looked at me through confusion.
My eyes widened when I saw what that something odd was. All color drained from my face as my gazes locked with her brown ones.
âWhat?â Templar asked.
I couldnât form any coherent word and instead just shook my head as a reply.
âI will be near the carâ Templar announced and then walked away.
Standing frozen in my place, I stared at her retreating figure. My wolf started pacing inside me and he let out one long howl. My whole body was shivering and I felt like my knees would give away any moment right now. Gulping, I turned to look at Patriciaâs statue.
She did help me. She did help me in finding the evil.
My skin felt cold and I goosebumps appeared all over my body.
Dimly, I recalled what Keith said today morning, âNothing happens to the evil wolf but the silver turns dark when they touch them. It tarnishes. Loses its shine and turns black.â
And that is what happened to Templarâs chain. It got tarnished.
That means⦠Templar was the one who was attacking the temple from the past two weeks.
****
Ahaâ¦. So, how was it?
Now you know, why Templar is weak and she will continue being weak for some more chapters until she gets her wolf back :);)
