Chapter 537: I WANT TO STAY IN MY BEDROOM
As a warrior, Joel had his own bedroom in the warrior quarters. It was his pride and joy to occupy this little bedroom, which could only fit a bed, a table, a drawer and a chair.
And, this room would always look clean and comfortable, as Joel would find time amidst his busy training schedule to keep it neat.
Yet, if he was no longer a warrior of this pack, he was required to leave this room. It was a rule, and this would break Joel even more.
"Joel, I brought you this." Iris entered the room because she didn’t hear anything from inside after knocking for ten minutes and found the young warrior staring out the window. As luck would have it, his window showed a training ground for the young warriors, from the age of twelve to fifteen.
Not so long ago, Joel was part of them before he started his training with the older warriors and was given this little bedroom, a symbol that he was capable enough to defend his pack. A testament that he would be a great warrior one day, like he always dreamed of.
But, everything crumbled and shattered. Without being able to use his legs, he wouldn’t be able to defend himself, let alone anyone.
"Joel?" Iris called him. She had a book in her hand. She promised to teach him how to read and write, but because of the situation, they had not yet started. "Joel?"
Joel got startled and then turned his head around to look at Iris, he was surprised to see her inside his bedroom. It seemed he really tuned out the whole world, until he was not aware of his own surroundings.
"Lu- Luna Iris..." Joel stuttered.
