This lowered the load on the three in the battlefield

Two of the remaining wolves ran into the palace to look for any other weapons that could possibly withstand the mystic flame of Syin s sword but the only thing they could find were in-built torch holders which they ripped from the walls with all their strength

As they got back nearly half the hundred figures were slayed and the three wolves were justified to appear tired more especially Ryle, because he looked like he just fought all these grotesque things alone.Syin would have beat up the entire pack if he saw his little wolf exhausted so much.Just because he is a rank higher doesn't mean they should let him get so tired. After all it's no secret in the pack that Ryle is the only omega surrounded by alphas.Of course that is not a great representation of protocol, but Ryle has the brain power and tactical skills of hundred fold of most of alphas combined.And to add to that he was trained by Syin makes him literally the brains of the operation.Without his thinking right now, these alphas would have fought their way to their own demise.

Anyway the two wolves wasted no time and jumped into the action.They raced to the fighting and stopped near the flame and lowered the torches by a great stroke of luck managed to set the torches on fire.Within seconds they had already set off towards the figures and obliterated them cruelly

When there were about less than thirty and deduced that they were no longer getting ambushed , joln decided looked over to Valian who still seemed hype .He does love the action so it's not really a surprise.Plus he is winning ,who would blame him for ceasing the opportunity to rub his enemies s weakness in their faces.He unautonomously shifted his attention to side but as soon as he did that he almost shrieked when he saw Ryle kneeling on the floor breathing heavily..

Ryle had kneeled upright as if preparing to stand up or rather prostrating . He was fighting to the bone to stay conscious because he could get attacked in the blink of a eye if he lets his guard down.His muscles were twitching visibly and it was as if he was being jolted with a hot metal.Ryle shock his head from left to right trying to focus and avoid falling to the side.His vision was failing him, that much was obvious.Before he could prop himself up, a huge force grabbed him by the abdomen and carried him into the air..

As soon that happened Syin s knife just fell to the ground as it freed from Ryle s grasp.Another wolf promptly grabbed for it and used it to rescue the others.

Ryle was half-consious but he could sense that someone was holding onto to him.One thing was obvious that he and his 'hero' were ascending to greater altitude because he felt his hair wave from side to side but more especially the view of the fighting arena was getting further and further away despite him seeing it in a misty fog.

He tried to turn his head to atleast see the clothes of who is carrying him.His effort was foolish because he knows he can't see anything right now . Ryle nonetheless tried but could do so, he felt himself get heavy as if gravity was trying to crash him.That was probably due to the fact that he was descending from high ground.

Moments later he felt his body get laid down gently on the side.His torso touched the ground first and slowly his head was lowered.The lowering motion was like how a baby was put to bed .The surface he was on felt extremely rigid and very uncomfortable therefore he could not really fall asleep despite feeling like he had been deprived of sleep for many days.

Ryle blinked slowly several times but he still could not see anything clearly.his eyes felt like they were left in the open for far too long.His breathing was erratic and his heart beat was abnormal. If it's was possible to feel one s self die that is exactly what he was feeling right now. He was certain that the wolf in him had been degraded to a common dog if not less.It hurt to move ,to breathe even sitting still made him sore.The fact that it was beginning to become lighter due to the sun raising was a recipe of disaster for his eyes which were oddly enough hurting.

He saw the silhouette of someone swift past him and slowly descended something. That could mean anything but the likability was he could be at the top of a fleet of stairs. And he was right.

Joln descended the stairs because he saw Mlya holding onto Syin s body .They were positioned in such a way it seemed as if Syin had fallen onto Mlya or Mlya had caught Syin just before he fell to the ground.As of right now it was reasonable to think that Syin had lost conscienceness, otherwise what would have made him fall over.

As he was closer to them , he called to the young wolf that was beyond petrified.He didn't cry or do anything childish to highlight his fear but it was quite obvious in the way he was trying to carry Syin or support him properly. Joln told him to lay him down and take out his Lajian strips.

Mlya could not figure out a way to do that so he just stood still.Its not due to helplessness but mainly two reasons.He was trying to support Syin while hoping that he doesn't transform into a wolf because some wolves tend to do that when they are no longer in control of their actions or simply when they lose consciousness. Another reason was that he didn't want to elevate himself because he knows that there is a stimulant in the air.

A wolf can't detect with precision some odours when it's in human form, but there are some strange scents that don't require a wolf s olfactory receptors to determine.This means that when he descended the stairs and moved closer to Syin, he also picked a rather unique scent in the air.

The scent had hints of burning wood , ash ,white dust but most dominantly lavender and small specs of jasmine!!

Flower perfumes are very expensive to make and only the elite can afford it. Of course they are in the garden and would obviously smell of flowers as well as other weird things but the ingredients of this scent are really strange , so strange it feels suspicious.

As the smell continued entering Joln s nose he was immediately triggered to act violently.How can calming aromas like this invoke rage to the extent that his eyes changed colour shape to golden pupils and pitch black slits.He felt the hairs behind his neck start to grow as well as on his face.This was the first sign that he was transforming.

Despite being a wolf , Joln does not like to transform at all.He hates having to feel that vulnerable.Even though he is covered by a heavy coat of fur, he still feels naked and it is really uncomfortable for him to do anything when he feels that akward.Imagine a room full of naked sweaty men eating meat together...That is really not going to be a smooth meal.Its not that he hates his pack, it's just he feels they should not be grouped in the same place naked.

And right now that the wolf in him wants to escape, there is absolutely no way he is going to be the one naked Infront of everyone especially not infront of Syin s young wolf warriors, Ryle and Mlya.

That being the case he quickly looked away and swallowed the lump in his throat to stop himself.He had done this so many times but that doesn't make it easier with every time.Of course there are times he can just brush away the instinct but when the wolf is hungry or enraged , it is like pushing an angry bear in the cave..

Mlya was so focused on lowering Syin to the floor that he didn't notice Joln and his actions

As for Ryle, he tried to elevate his body to see where the silhouette or shadow was headed.. He forced head off the ground first, which was extremely painful and labor intensive for him.As he managed to prop it of the ground , he saw people holding onto each other, like they were hugging or... crying!

He felt his heart hollow and he decided to crawl over there.

This cant be happening now.Its way too soon for this .Wolves just died in the past week and they can't seriously be burying another one.He can't keep losing one of his brothers again.Tears welled up in his eyes but they felt like tiny ice crystals.He let one fall as he was preparing himself to move.

He tried to stand by supporting himself on the floor but he was too weak yet he had to see what was going on.Ryle bit his lower lip and with that he pulled his legs so that he is kneeling.The second he was able to kneel he immediately transitioned to another position between prostrating and standing.Within the next seconds he had manged to stand.However he was still not doing well.In fact his vision, dizziness and aching got worse because he was standing.His eyes showed him a fragments of what was reality but because of the extremely low level of energy the moment he tried to move his leg forward, there was nothing to balance on because the step was lower than his foot.As a result his body learned over and he was headed for the stairs..

He knew that whatever happens next can't be good so if fate is on his side, he will meet his brothers on the other side.
