Chapter 27
The three of them kept walking for another 10 minutes.
But weirdly, they didn’t see any water.
And there was a rot, disgusting smell in the air, like a seething mass of bacteria that had taken over the
surrounding area.
The bird song that had accompanied them the whole way had also disappeared, and they are left with
nothing but an eerie silence.
Something seemed off.
Eventually, the path led them to a huge cave. The cave stood 5 meters high and seemed large enough
to fit in an army of people. novelbin
“This doesn’t seem right,” Balvina whispered to Janet, her face all serious.
Kass dragged Janet to his back and stared into the pitch–black cave, “We should leave, now.”
They were right. This wasn’t the right way to go.
Yet Janet suddenly felt the wind changing direction, bringing a strong, disgusting smell!
Something was coming at them from the cave!
“LOOK OUT-” Janet screamed and shoved Kass and Balvina to the side.
They fell to the ground!
And quickly jerked around to look at the gigantic animal that just dashed out of the
cave.‘
It stood there like a tower. Then a deafening howl came from its mouth.
Janet widened her eyes.
…What the fuc k was this?!
Standing before them was a 13 feet tall bear!
But its size was way larger than a regular bear. And it had unnaturally sharp fangs and long claws,
making it looked more like a werewolf than a bear.
“What the fuc k-” Balvina cried.
“Bear’s variant!” Janet said hastily, “Someone transfused werewolf’s blood to them. Making them much
stronger and fiercer!”
She had heard about those rumors before.
That deep in the back mountain there was an inhabitance of crazy, lethal bears.
One was enough to take down two werewolves.
But she always thought those rumors were made–up stories to keep kids away from the back
mountain.
Until today.
Until that map led them down this path!
“On your feet!” Janet hissed, “It is about to attack!”
The bear’s beaming red eyes were on them. Then with a roaring howl, it jumped directly at Kass!
Kass rolled on the ground and dodged its claw. When he stood up again, he had shifted into a large
black wolf.
The wolf snapped his head around and faced the bear, making a threatening hissing sound.
“Keep it that way!” Janet cried, while circling around the bear with Balvina carefully. “Get its attention
Kass! Balvina and I will find an opening to strike back!”
The black wolf curved his back and exposed his fangs at the bear.
The bear was soon enraged by his aggressive gesture. Waiving its claws frantically in the air, the bear
lunged at Kass at full speed!
At the same time, Balvina and Janet went for the bear’s opening back together.
Balvina jumped and shifted in the midair. She landed on the bear’s back and dug its fangs deep into
the bear’s flesh.
The bear felt pain. It started/struggling like crazy and twirled its body around. “Hang in there!” Janet
yelled.
She didn’t shift. Her small human form allowed her to move around more easily. Grabbing the bear’s
chest fur, Janet easily climbed up to the bear’s giant head.
The bear was too distracted by Balvina and Kass.
It didn’t notice her.
Knelt down on the bear’s shaking head, Janet drew a dagger from her back.
“GO TO HELL
She stabbed down on the center of the bear’s skull with both of her hands!
Blood gushed out, spilling all over Janet’s body.
The bear roared and screamed loudly.
It staggered back a few steps.
And fell to the ground with a huge thud.
“Oh my god,” Balvina shifted back and wept her forehead, “What a beast! If that bear’s body can’t lock
up our position as the top one, what will?”
Kass had shifted back as well.
He ran to Janet’s side and asked urgently, “Gamma Janet, are you alright?”
Yet Janet didn’t answer him.
She put a finger on his mouth, gesturing him to keep quiet.
She was still gazing into the cave.
Kass and Balvina froze.
And then they gradually turned they heads and gazed to where Janet was looking at.
In the cave, more and more red dots were appearing against the darkness.
They were bear’s eyes.
…There were more than one bear.
Back in the training field.
“Look-” someone cried and pointed at the sky.
Everybody looked up.
It was a red firework from the signal gun each team received.
A team was asking for help in the forest!
“Oh my,” Harper gasped. “It’s only been 3 hours and people are already asking for helps already? And
judging by the direction of this firework, it is where Janet is at. I thought she claimed to be the strongest
Gamma-”
Yet before she could finish her sarcasm, Daran shoved her aside roughly.
He quickly strode forward and snapped, “I need a team of 10 people following me into the forest! Now!”
“Are you crazy?!”
Harper screamed.
She stumbled forward in her skinny high heels and grabbed Daran’s sleeves blurting
out, “You are the Alpha for Christ’s sake! Why do you have to risk yourself for a bunch of soldiers like
them-”
“What do you mean?”
Casper looked at Harper with a sulkily look on his face.
“If a man is injured on the battlefield, as Alphas we are supposed to leave him there?” Casper asked
sharply.
Harper choked.
She suddenly noticed that everyone present–every man–was glaring at her hostilely right now.
Daran shook Harper off him and said to a soldier, “She is not a warrior. She shouldn’t be here in the
first place. Drag her out.”
Then he hurried towards the forest, leaving Harper’s desperate cries behind him.
“I’m coming with you!” Casper caught up with Daran.
They were all worried that it might be Janet.
Casper, Daran and other 10 soldiers rushed into the forest, heading directly at the place where the
firework was fired.
They were all very fast.
Within half an hour, they have arrived at the scene.
“Look!” a soldier cried, pointing at the ground.
There were a lot of blood spilled on the ground, some even on the tree.
There were also deep claw marks on the tree trunk, indicating a fierce fight had taken place here.
“Janet!”
Casper yelled and rushed forward, with Daran on his heels.
Daran’s body was strained, and his mind was a mess.
He couldn’t begin to imagine if anything bad had happened to Janet.
But how was this possible? There were only a few hyenas, bears, or lions in the mountain, but nothing
too dangerous…
What could possibly harm a group of Gamma and strong soldiers?
In the open area upfront, they finally found traces of people.
Daran’s mind went blank for a second.
…Janet.
Then he quickly realized.
No, it wasn’t right.
This wasn’t Janet.
Janet’s wolf had silver fur, not brown.
Just then, two men rushed out of the bush that they had been hiding and staggered towards Daran
crying:
“A–Alpha-! HELP!”
It was Baron and his soldier.
Daran could hardly hide the shock on his face as he snapped, “It was you who fired the signal gun?!”
“Y–Yes…” Baron’s face was still twisted with dread.
He was still overwhelmed by the extreme fear.
Baron knew that the map he gave Janet would lead her directly into that crazy bear’s
cave.
But he didn’t know that those bears could be this strong! Nor did he know that one of the bears would
run off and stumble upon them!
He and Bobbie had been hiding in the bush while his female warrior Maxine handled that bear.
Thank God that Maxine wasn’t as half bad at fighting. Or all three of them would be died by now.
“There are rumors about this beast in my pack.” Daran said darkly.
Then he looked back at Baron and snarled:
“These bears never leave their cave! What is this one doing here?!”
A hint of panic passed across Baron’s eyes, “I–I don’t know…”
“Are there more of them?!”
“I don’t know…probably…”
“And Janet?” Casper snapped, “Have you seen Janet or any other teams?”
Baron gulped nervously.
He wanted to lie or keep quiet. But he eventually caved in front of these two strong Alphas.
Baron shivered.
“I think…Janet is died by now.”
