Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Five 

“What do you mean, Bailey had escaped? How is that even possible?” Axel questioned. 

“She had help.” Thane said, walking past us. I followed him into the dressing room. He brought forth the key to Bailey’s room, the very same one he had kept there a while ago. 

“There must have been a spare key, another way in. She had gotten help from someone in this pack.” Thane said. 

“She escaped; we would get her back.” Axel said confidently. 

“The problem is not just her escape, but over a dozen of our soldiers had been killed, their body parts torn limb by limb.” 

Axel and I exchanged glances; that had been why Thane was mad. It wasn’t just Bailey’s escape but the soldiers she had killed. 

“Oh gods.” I whispered. 

I shouldn’t have told you this,” Thane says. 

“No, I need to know about this, I need to know everything happening in the pack.” 

“I only wish I had killed the bitch.” 

“Why didn’t you?” I questioned. 

“She is an elder, the only one who would ever be willing to give me information; killing her would be a huge waste.

I pulled up the sleeve of my top and stared at the already healing injury. I should have told Thane about this; what if she had paid me a visit when he was gone and did this to me? But it didn’t make sense; I couldn’t remember a thing, and yet… yet I felt this guilt eating at my chest for keeping it a secret. 

The bodies had been buried, soldiers paid their respect, but the families of the deceased stayed behind to weep some more. It was a sad thing to watch, and Thane had warned me that it

would be, but stubbornly I decided to be here. Wat kind of Luna would it make me if I don’t show up in times like this? 

A figure passed by in a flash, and I turned but spotted no one. Maybe it had been in my head. 

“Riley?” Axel called. 

“Huh?” 

“You seem quite distracted.” 

“No. 1 thought I saw something; I was wrong.” 

“It’s getting cold; we should head back.” 

“No, I want to say.” I protested weakly. 

“Come on,” Axel said, taking me along. “Thane wants me to remain with you till he’s back.”
