"Hey! What happened to all of you? And where are you all going?"

Ryan asked in an amicable tone accompanied by a smile, knowing that there was no other option for him to get any information out of them.

At the same time, knowing what they were up to was very crucial for him, given that he was running out of time to make everything go according to his plan. However, nobody could extract this information out of him, especially not these idiots. 

"I think it should never be your business to know about our plans!"

Robin was the one to grace him with his reply and took a step forward, passing him and indicating the other two to follow him and leave him behind. 

But before they could put this spontaneous plan into action, they all heard another statement from his mouth. 

"Of course, it is always going to be my business. After all, you all are Nora's friends, and again, I think you all know very clearly, just how important she is for me-"

"Zip it for some other time when she is around. As for now, just let us be at peace."

Saying this, Robin walked ahead without giving him a second to respond; unlike Ryan, he did not have a single second to waste.

Within fifteen minutes, David was standing in front of the door to the dungeon. He was about to knock down the lock with his bare hands, when he felt a grip on his back.

As he was dragged back from his initial position by this unknown assailant, he heard an exasperated voice;

"Dude, just tell me one thing! Have you already done a PhD on the topic of how to repeat blunders after blunders? 

Because trust me, I am failing to understand how you are even considering the option of touching the lock with your bare hands, so that not only would she be locked in there forever, but you would also get locked into a new dungeon that would fall from above!"

Saying this, Louis pointed a finger towards the ceiling, as he finally let David go from his grip on seeing that Robin was already unlocking the lock.

He was about to enter the dungeon, thinking that Robin would also step inside after unlocking the door.

But to his surprise, he turned towards David the moment he had undone the lock, and stepped forward in his direction. Before Louis could understand what was going on, he saw Robin grabbing David's collar as he demanded in a rare display of anger;

"What do you want, brother? Why… why are you acting like the person I hate most in this entire world -"

David cut him off with a warning,, 

"Robin, mind your words, he is but our father -"

However, his own warning was cut off Robin's another declaration;

"Then you should mind your actions, she is my family."

Louis would have enjoyed this drama further, if he had not noticed Ryan taking it as an opportunity and entering the dungeon, no doubt with the intention of pretending to be Nora's saviour.

He addressed them both with a sense of urgency, 

"Guys I suggest you both fight about who is whose family and who is more of an idiot later, because I think we are here for something more important."

The words brought David back to reality and he realised that the door had been opened already. Jerking Robin's hand away from his collar without a single word further, he rushed inside the dungeon, knowing that Robin was going to follow him too.

By this time, Ryan had anticipated that David had definitely caused some kind of disaster, that he could vouch as a lavish benefit in his favour.

But the moment he saw everyone running towards the dungeon, he knew that he had got nothing less than a jackpot on his hands! 

In any case, the parents would not be allowed to visit the school for a month because of Nora's new admission, so that  no one could blame anyone for any partiality on behalf of the Royals- and hence, he could use this as an excellent opportunity.

Because of that rule, there would be no one present there from the Eclipse pack to take David's side, and save him from detention.

On arriving at the scene, he found that Robin and David had entered into an ongoing fight, leaving Louis there to stop them. Myron, being a Beta, would never dare to enter the dungeon, so this would be another opportunity to make him a hero in Nora's eyes.

But at the very next moment, he noticed that Myron was about to step inside the dungeon without a single sensible thought. Stopping him in his tracks using his hands, he asked, 

"Are you mad ? Don't you know, a Beta is never allowed to enter the dungeon? You might lose your life -"

His warning was interrupted by an emotional declaration from Myron, which Ryan was the least interested in listening to. 

"For saving her, I am not afraid of losing my life in a single breath -"

"Oh okay… okay, whatever! Step aside now."

Saying this, he pushed him backwards, knowing he might dare to lose his life for saving Nora, but the rules would still stop him from going against an Alpha. 

And according to his knowledge, he really paused at that point, making a way for him.

The moment his eyes adjusted to the darkness of the dungeon, he saw that Nora was about to faint, as her eyes were slightly opened, her lips were turning blue and her body was shivering.

Without wasting any time, he rushed towards her and was about to hold her in his arms.

However, before he could have reached out and held her, he saw two arms wrapping her small stature within their circumference.

As all the fears started to build up in her heart, the rigorous panic attacks and the cold started to take over her mind, she remembered the Moon Goddess and her words. 

"Nora ! My child, always remember; I have written everyone's destiny with my own hands, and have written problems in them as well.

But the bigger the problem, the more lovable the person is! 

So I have sent the best saviour for them as well, it's just they have to go through some tests before meeting their saviours in this lifetime, who will become their family too. And always remember, you are my most favourite child."

By the time this thought of hers ended, she saw Ryan rushing towards her, and a new thought arrived in her mind;

"So he was the one whom the Moon Goddess had selected for her."

And with this final thought, she felt her eyes closing on their own.
