Chapter 69: Into The Fire
Kieran’s POV
What?
The word rang in my skull like a gong, deafening everything else.
The Lycans were under attack?
No. That couldn’t be possible.
We were the most powerful sect in the academy, stronger than the nobles, deadlier than the elites. Who would be foolish enough to strike us? Who would dare?
I stared at Astrid Voss, still locked in her cell, her eyes wide with urgency.
"You’ve been here since yesterday," I said slowly, piecing it together. "You couldn’t have known what’s happening in the auditorium, so how....."
"I saw it," she interrupted, her voice trembling for the first time. "Its complicated and I will explain later but if you want to save the lycans, yo must leave now"
I blinked, trying to force reason through the cloud of disbelief. "But who..... who would even try to take us down? What could hurt us?"
Astrid stepped forward, gripping the cell bars. "Wolfsbane, Kieran. They’ve soaked the sprinkler system. Elite soldiers are there with tanks of it, and they’re targeting only your kind. You don’t have time to ask questions, go!"
Just as I turned to leave, her hand shot out and grabbed my arm with surprising strength.
