Kire was growing taller and taller and every moment that he hit the wall it made such a great impact.
"How is he doing that?" She asked.
"How are we doing that?" Erik asked. "I am channeling my powers to him. So that he can use the both of us together at once. His bones and body becomes hard like steel and he gets even bigger than he is. He will be able to make impact without being badly hurt."
And then Erik almost fell down.
She quickly caught him and held him against her chest.
"You are weak." She said softly in the midst of all the chaos.
She gently pushed his hair away from his face to check his temperature.
Xaden felt his chest stiffen at her show of affection with him and for some minutes he was very jealous.
He quickly turned away and hid his feelings so no one noticed.
"I’ll be fine." Erik said.
"You are becoming cold." She said. "What if he doesn’t break through? That wall has been there for centuries. No one has ever broken it down."
She knew this because she knew legend that their wall had been made over five hundred centuries ago by one of the first alphas of the pack and no one had been able to destroy it.
Kire kept on hitting the wall and then by the tenth bump against the wall the middle of the wall broke open.
She looked on in shock.
There was a sudden silence.
No one uttered a single word.
They just stood transfixed at the fact that the wall had been brought down.
And then the wolves of the crescent pack screamed in attack and they all went into the pack.
Jasmine held unto Erik.
Kire came around. He was not as big as he was anymore.
In fact he was even smaller than his original height.
She watched him come down to her as a tiny pup.
"You need to rest." She told Erik.
"I would be fine." He said bringing himself to rise to his feet.
Xaden was no longer in sight and it was just plain fighting and blood lust.
Erik did something that she did not expect. He broke down her chains.
Her guards had left her and two were already dead in the fight.
"Go." He nodded towards the pack. "I assume you have unfinished business with your pack."
Her eyes looked at him with glint of hope.
She was about to say thank you when he said.
"But don’t go alone." He said.
Then he walked a few inches away and came back with Ned the healer.
"You are going to look after her and make sure nothing happens to her do you understand this?" Erik asked.
Ned did not seem so enthusiastic about it. "But I can not fight."
"You will take care of her." Erik said looking down at him.
Ned nodded quickly.
Then Erik went off to fight.
"So where are we going to?" Ned asked.
Jasmine quickly picked up Kire and began to race from the wall.
"This is not the way to the pack." He asked.
Ned laughed.
"Cut it out you too." Jasmine hissed at them.
Then she went to the end of the tunnels.
It was a road end.
She gently placed her hands on the blocks, filling it.
"Gods we are stuck." Ned said.
She ignored him and then she gently touched a brick and pushed it in.
And then the wall moved to the side.
"How did you know this place?" He asked her.
She gave a light shrug. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"It was the only way that I could escape the pack and have time for myself." She said quietly.
"You did not have a happy life here did you?" He asked her.
"No." She admitted. "You heard my father did you not? The bastard child."
Ned and even Kire was quiet.
"Come on. We need to be fast." She said as she led them out of the tunnels and into one of the rooms of the royal family.
As soon as they stepped in, Jasmine led them to the door.
They peeped down the hallway and aww litters of dead body lying down.
Some guards of the moonlight pack passed and when the coast was clear she went to the only one person who had cared for her from the moment she wa a child.
"Urma." She said when she opened the door.
The old woman was sitting on a chair as if waiting for death to come to her.
