Chapter 50. Mate’s Life
Chapter Fifty – Mate’s Life
The damage was great. Out of the twenty guards that were stationed, twelve were killed, three badly injured. Only five were unharmed but deeply traumatized.
And then Jessika came to say that their squad leader was beheaded by Beta Cade. They looked hopeless.
Laurel gently tended to the wounds of the three injured. One of them had lost his eyes and he looked like he was only fifteen years old.
When Jessika came, they finished up quickly and helped feed the ones who couldn’t hold a spoon because their hands shook violently.
Some Black Claws warriors told them that they’d temporarily take their jobs till they got better. That must be the nicest thing the warriors ever did for the guards because they began crying. Laurel was moved.
"I hate it." Laurel said as she and Jessika walked out of the guards station. "I hate how these guys have to live."
She was nudged by Jessika, who wore a smile. "You don’t know but that’s really how guards, especially hunters get to live. Even in your father’s pack. In all packs. They typically hunt for rogues and alert the warriors to kill them."
It felt like a learning moment for Laurel. She didn’t know the roles of these ranks. "So why are they badly hurt?"
"It’s because the ’rogue’ found them. Usually, they leave before the rogue notice he was sighted. Then warriors come in. This time, it was a Lycan, and was out for them."
The Princess nodded. She remembered the Lycan telling Stefan that his Prince needed the wolves. She couldn’t catch what he needed it for.
"Stefan is injured. Sorren is mad. And you won’t believe that Jade is a wuss. Sorren and Cade tongue lashed her and she looked like she’d cry!!" Jessika chuckled.
