Chapter 282: The unseen barrier...
Kurtis POV
As soon as the mind link was cut off, a wave of panic surged through me. One moment, I was speaking to Lucius, hearing the urgency in his voice, and the next—silence. It wasn’t just the normal quiet; it was as if something had severed the connection entirely. My heart pounded in my chest, the dread growing.
I couldn’t afford to waste time. Whatever was happening at Greyhound, it was bad. And if Lucius had reached out to me, it meant they were in deeper trouble than they could handle on their own.
I stormed out of my quarters and quickly found a few of my most trusted men. Damian, my Gamma, was the first to fall in line. He had sharp instincts, and I needed someone like him if we were going to get through this. Next were the twins, Marcus and Elijah, fierce fighters who were known for their stealth in enemy territory.
"We’re heading to Greyhound," I told them as I grabbed my gear. "Lucius just warned me they’re under attack, and their communications are down. Something isn’t right."
Damian frowned, sensing the gravity of the situation. "Under attack? Why haven’t we heard anything about it?"
"That’s the problem. They’ve been cut off." I clenched my jaw, the urgency burning in my veins. "Get ready. We ride immediately."
It didn’t take long for us to saddle up. The sun was beginning to dip low in the sky as we rode out, pushing our wolves to move as fast as possible. We covered the ground quickly, the four-hour ride feeling like an eternity. The tension hung thick in the air, each of us on edge, knowing we were heading into unknown territory.
But as we neared the outer edges of Greyhound’s territory, something strange happened. The usual path we took into the pack’s lands was... blocked. At first, it looked like a thick fog rolling in, but as we tried to push forward, we hit a barrier, invisible but solid as stone.
"What the hell is this?" Marcus growled, his hand hovering near his weapon.
I tried pushing through again, but it was no use. Whatever this was, it wasn’t natural. It felt like magic—strong, ancient, and impenetrable.
