I thought that finally that horrible day would end, I longed so much to have peace, my mind and body needed it with extreme urgency.
I was ready to go and return home, I had planned to arrive, have dinner with a good and juicy piece of meat made by the hands of Mrs. Zoe my housekeeper, n however being in a very likely way after dinner I would end up having some wine, I would take a good shower and I would go to bed.
Although no, it wasn't like that at all, in more ways than one that night I was giving myself obvious signs that it would be, to say the least, extremely long and that it wouldn't give me any respite.
First of all, we were already finishing organizing everything to finally leave, you had already retired along with Lyall and Bazili being that you would probably already be not far from the city.
Gurel once he woke up had even already been questioned and put under contingency when out of nowhere a huge commotion began to be felt.
The sound of the closest thing to a battalion began to rise up that climb, to the top of that area while it resonated strongly among the trees as they approached, hundreds of vehicles began to climb the path in great haste.
The sounds of the engines took over the echo that surrounds the viewpoint giving the impression that a whole hive of bees was preparing to attack us with their strong stingers.
The betas who were with me soon noticed the uncomfortable gloomy and stormy air that surrounded every space, something was not right and without a doubt those noticed it.
Monoe, the eldest of the five betas who were with me at that moment, settled right in the center representing his role as leader, beta superior in command after Lyall, while at the sides were the others his four brothers Shoul and Touanm on the left and Balash and Ikel on the right respectively.
"Sir, please stay behind us," he said while remaining calm.
With a relaxed attitude at the front, as a leader, he remained firm and upright in his position despite whatever was coming, his confidence gave me peace of mind and undoubtedly filled me with calm.
There we calmly waited for those who were to make their presence, I was more than anything curious to know who they were and as if nothing had happened we kept quiet.
From behind us among the trees we began to feel an intense movement coming from the wolves that were still hidden, the trackers were still lurking vigilant and attentive so I knew that without a doubt those were keeping an eye on the place.
From among the thickets grunts began to be heard because the watchmen were restless, but no one said a word yet until a was heard...
Fiuuuuuuuu!
An alert whistle, the first to be heard, a resounding warning that someone of higher rank was approaching.
But nevertheless one was heard immediately...
Fiu! Fiu!
Two short whistles that add to the first and give the imminent warning that the top four alphas were approaching.
"Hell because now" he muttered uncomfortably and uneasily.
By that time I had already dressed and had my mobile available, so trying to accommodate my thoughts I called Lyall.
That phone rang and rang, but Lyall did not take it; so that first attempt was completely wasted before my eyes, again seconds later I dialed him again, I begged his appeal, but on this second chance the surprise did not come again that I did not answer.
I dialed a few more times but simply nothing was heard and therefore I even came to think that Lyall had left me to my fate, but when I was about to give up that unhappy finally answered.
"What do you want Dominieck? "
"By chance you didn't forget to tell me something, I don't know, something of great importance, something simple like that the alphas would come to the viewpoint. "
"Eh... but what are you talking about Dominieck. "
"Just as you heard, the trackers identified their scent, they are coming up the hill right now. "
"It's impossible. "
"Well, it's as possible as that in a few minutes they'll be here, you happen to know something about it. "
"I only did what you asked me to communicate with each of them, it had been agreed that the meeting in the grotto would take place first thing tomorrow for the same reason I am as confused as you. "
"Then you don't know anything about such a visit either. "
"No sir, I don't know anything, now you need me to come back. "
"No, stay with them, I'll see what happens. "
Before that answer I closed the call, calm my mind so as not to be so reactive, block my thoughts of torture added to death that constantly flood my head against those and take the attitude that I always use before such because even finding myself in the line of command I am inferior to them.
Or rather, although I find myself below them I would never let myself trample on something that they constantly tend to try and at this moment I was sure that nothing would eventually be different.
"I can't let the alphas sniff Gurel here" I thought "I'm sure they will find a way for him to be released. "
He should have been close to me, a few steps away, when he presumably noticed my apparent discomfort, I emphasize.
"He needs us to do something. "
"It's good that you're asking because yes, I need them to do something, they should get Gurel out of here as soon as possible. "
Balash after listening to us turned around and reproached me.
"How do you want us to do that, sir?
The ideas did not reach his consciousness regarding how that would be achieved without the alphas discovering us, which made it above all a possible matter of life and death.
For a moment I stopped to think and analyze the situation because I had to look for a way to get him out of there first of all it was something crucial, besides that we had time on us because it was only a matter of minutes before the battalion ascended.
Obviously restless, although I kept calm, I went everywhere looking for a clue or just to hide it from view and after finding the jasmine bush in which I had previously hidden some time before I stressed.
"There, you see that thicket in which there are jasmine, take them and cover Gurel with them it will give you the opportunity to flee without being discovered at least for the moment, but beware you must do things quickly because you know how powerful the smell of those four is so you must flee in a hurry.
Without delay Monoe indicated.
"Balash, Shoul and Ikel take the jasmine and cover the man, if he is conscious take him if necessary and get him out of here. "
Ikel still had doubts about it about that whole situation and indicating.
"What shall we do with him? "
Without delay, let alone thinking twice, in response to it.
"Take him to the house, keep him in the room you already know in the basement there watch the door, no one enters no one leaves until further notice. "
Already when each one had everything under control and had carried out their tasks I saw those three leave in a hurry on the spot while Monoe, Towan and I waited for the inevitable.
Standing positioned a few meters from the bar we had arranged ourselves in a visible way so that those who arrived could easily locate us acting first of all with complete calm.
With great demand that convoy of vehicles arrived at the top and as planned with great avidity the four alphas left their respective transports and made their presence before us.
The four demons that rule these lands like a monarchy were right in front of me online and it was right there that after discussing some business matters for a while regarding the imminent losses in the dock that the eldest of the four Tora, I ordered Izra to inflict this wound on me.
Before Emma I pointed to my bleeding arm while her eyes were only devoted to analyzing that situation with fear and as if nothing happened I continued narrating what happened.
Of the most cruel and torturous I was captured, however I was forced to kneel before them thanks to the strength that his servants did to doblegarme, while in front of the sad and even disappointing look even taking advantage of the darkness of the night hid had lost perhaps their respect for their leader at that time already looked not so exalted.
Before their eyes the gallantry of their leader had gone down the drain, but even with my pride intact I stood with my forehead up.
Izra didn't take long to obey so he quickly approached me while carrying a silver knife in his hand which has a perfectly polished and carved oak wood handle.
That one was like sailing between Odysseas gangways enjoying the idea of the punishment that he was going to carry out soon, lover of torture after all as that one was.
Before me that man made such an object dance by moving from one side to the other following a beat as if he were tracing the steps of some melody, at the same time he gave life to a mocking and indomitable smile like that without a word or reason with a simple movement of his wrist while he looked into my eyes and with a single pull he opened my skin.
You may think that everything maybe I got to that point because you know that the silver is strong enough to damage us permanently, but no, that was not enough for him so calling one of his men he asked for a jar of aconite and I dropped it on the wound and I estimate that half of the contents so as you will understand the wound became even more severe than it already was.
If I can be honest about something, it is that that man is known for his sadistic methods of torture, but to get to that level of madness in his eyes is a lot that has to happen so, although I hate it I have even come to ask what was so bad that it will have happened in his past to end up being such a crazy and delusional being.
