Chapter 47 : A Cure

**Chris POV

I groaned, gritting my teeth as my bones reformed for the thousandth time. My inner beast roared in anguish as it bore the weight of the most dangerous of all knowledge. I felt it pull on my soul, already trying to drag me down to the depths of hell for daring to peer into where mortals are forbidden.

I got to my feet unsteadily, holding onto the ancient stone walls for balance. I could do with a rest…but I had no time to waste. The ritual needed to be completed now.

I stumbled out of the chamber and called for a pack member who had stood guard outside.

“You there!” I called. “Ready everyone who is able to fight. We storm the Bergmann territory again; this time, our goal is the Nexus point.”

The wolf nodded and hurried off to spread the news to the others.
