Chapter 16: Plans for the Alpha
Kael stared at the three of them and sighed. The problem was, he couldn't even blame them for their reaction. After all, he could see himself doing worse if he were in their condition.
So, he explained to them calmly, "First of all, try to understand the situation before acting. Recklessness will only result in death most of the time."
"I understand that, and I apologize for it, but why did you say we'll die if we went to kill that bastard?" Kiona asked in confusion.
"Are you even sure about his strength? Or if he has gathered some of his friends?" Kael asked in return. "He had a way to heal from a terrible injury by eating his own kind. What makes you think he doesn't have other ways to get stronger using similar methods?"
Kiona nodded. "That is true. He did meet a human before attacking us."
"Can you explain?" Kael asked.
Kiona pursed her lips and nodded, obviously hesitant to speak about the past.
"Alright then, just tell me the important information that I can use against him," Kael said. "But be quick."
"We don't belong in these forests," Kiona said after some consideration. "Things happened, and we were chased all the way here by those bastards of the Diremane Pride. Unfortunately, we couldn't run away this time and had to fight back."
She clenched her fists and continued, "They had higher numbers and were also more powerful because of that cursed human. He even gave that bastard a name, which actually helped us."
"How so?"
