Chapter 244
“No, no, iso“” I screamed and woke up with a stari.
I sat up, my breaths heavy as my chest rose and fell, unsteadily. Tears slipped from my eyes as despair crept deeper into me. I grabbed my if to ease the pain I felt, but it was of no use.
What kind of ease could I possibly feel when I just watched my mat
ny mate get killed!
It couldn’t have been real. Could st

1 immediately remembered the words Beauty said to me while in the other realm. She warned that while Eros was most dangerous in his evil Beast form, he was also most vulnerable, and could be killed easily
1 prayed desperately that it wasn’t true as I swiped my hand over my face and cleaned the tears on it. A shiver rocked me as I became aware of my
environment.
1 looked down at my legs and noticed the duvet that covered me on the bed. Sweat trickled down my neck from the heat in the room, and from the fear growing in my heart.
What I just experienced looked too real. But Eros couldn’t be dead. I would know, right?
The Arena, the Rogues. Pison, is all a bad dream. It had to be

stung my head, and I softly placed my palm on it. “Where am I?” I asked, my voice was croaky.
1 looked around the room.
It was empty.
Panic eripped me
My baby,
The last thing I remembered before the trance was Beauty holding my baby boy in her arms. My little miracle. I needed to see him. Where was everyone!
1 pulled the bedcovers away fr
from me and hurried out of the bed.
The closer I got to the door, the more I heard loud growls. There was also clashing of swords. My fear grew. Was there a fight outside? I ran out
The first thing t
that greeted me was the bright sunlight. I squinted as I saw a clearing filled with warriors.
It was some kind of training. In the middle of the clearing, two young werewolves circled each other, their gaze fixed. It was as if one was waiting for the other to make a move. For a long moment, cach one predicted the other’s steps.
With a loud cry, one of them struck. He swung his claws at the other, who immediately dodged the attack. It w
was a good match, but I had no interest
I looked away, it was th

some of the people were in. Some of them were injured, while others were distressed. I counted about ten youths who were injured. One of the
them arms was cut off, and a bandage was wrapped over it
My eyes widened in horror,
I looked back at the place I came out from, it was a tent, but mine wasn’t the only one there. I stepped back and scanned the area at large.
This was something like a refugee camp, somewhere people who’d escaped from a war in a da
a dangerous place ran to
A loud murmur soon broke on
out among the crowd. I look back at them to see that they had noticed me. As soon as I faced them, everything quieted. The warriors who had been at each other’s throat stopped, and the sound of clashing swords came to a halt instantly.
I moved a step
CD forward, and the crowd parted immediately
a great sense
respect from the people, but refused to think much about it.
“My baby.” 1 reminded myself and quickened my pace. Few distance from the crowd, I saw two women seated on a fallen tree stump. Their backs were against me.

Chapter 211
One of them held a child swaddled in thick clothes in her arms, while another leaned into the child, smiling widely.
Tiara suddenly jerked within me, wagging her tail. “Our pup!”
I knew immediately that the child in the arms of the other woman was mine “My baby.” I cried out in joy.
One of the women turned, it was Beauty. Her eyes widened in surprise as she stood up immediately and hurried to my side.
“Eden. Are you alright?” She asked.
1 nodded my head. Only then did I see the other woman’s face.
Mother. She was here, and alive!
“Mom!” I gasped, rushing to meet her. She smiled, standing up with the baby against her body.
“Honey. My mother called. “You are awake.”
We shared a brief hug, and then she handed the baby over to me. I took my son, and a strange feeling gripped me. Tara and I cooed as we stared at
the cute face of our son
I placed my last linger in his, and he gripped it immediately as he let out a small smile, almost as if he knew that I was its mother. The chosen one.
