Chapter 730

CHAPTER 75 : WHY WOULD SHE GO THERE?

*Soren*

Payne hissed at Eros, snapping his jaws and pawing the ground.

At my command, everyone else stayed perfectly still. Mila clutched her backpack but she was also frozen in place.

Despite his heroics in saving Ashley, she seemed to be the only one willing to turn a blind eye. I knew where I stood and I agreed with Payne. Eros was malicious and dangerous. It was time to end him.

“Please, Payne…” Ashley begged.

Payne, still in wolf form, looked in my direction. I shook my head, letting him know that it was up to him what he wanted to do. He looked at his sister and I saw his hesitation.

Arrows still flew around us but they were coming slower and less frequently. I had my suspicions as to why and it only meant that I still had the upper hand.

Suddenly, Eros smirked, showing his true colors yet again. Saving Ashley, taking an arrow, it meant nothing to him. His eyes reflected his malice.

He lunged at me again.

I grabbed Eros by the throat and threw him down on the ground, slamming his back into the rocks. He coughed and wheezed, the wind knocked out of his lungs.

“Awwwwoooo!”

A howl broke through the night and I looked to a higher peak where the howl came from. The arrows stopped. One final arrow slammed into the ground, sticking straight up and down.

Rocks and pebbles skittered down from the highest peak and Thomas slid into view. He had an unconscious body draped over his shoulder.

With a wide smile, Thomas threw the body onto the ground in front of me. He was wearing a familiar outfit and I narrowed my eyes on the badge he wore on his chest.

“He’s a Norwind warrior,” Thomas reported.

I scoffed and glared at Eros. So, he was with Norwind. I knew he was lying to me when he said he didn’t have a master or that he wasn’t working with anyone

“I see that. Thanks for coming,” I said, squeezing Eros’s throat a little more.

“Sorry I’m late. I knew you needed my help down here but I didn’t know there was more of an ambush up there until the arrows started flying,” Thomas explained. He nudged the unconscious warrior with his toe.

“Neither did I. At least, the only casualty was this i***t who took an arrow,” I said, snarling at Eros.

“So, the healer brat is from Norwind,” Thomas said.

“It appears so,” I confirmed. “I guess that means Alpha Chandler sent you to follow up with Mila after we kicked his ass, didn’t he?”

Eros rolled his eyes and shook his head. He tried to talk but it came out a gurgling gasp.

“Uhh… Soren, you might want to loosen your grip on his throat,” Thomas said pointing and smirking at Eros.

Sighing, I eased my fingers and Eros coughed again.

“Don’t insult me!” he snapped. “I’m not one of Chandler’s pawns. He’s a useless piece of garbage when it comes to actual leadership. All he cares about is his dead luna.”
