Chapter 29: The Traitors

Darius unlinks our arms, then he proceeds to focus on the crowd.

A guard comes in and urges me to the far right, where stairs leading to an elevated platform await me.

I do as told and head for the stairs.

"Loyal!" Darius' voice booms into my ears. "Traitors." He continues, and I almost miss a step when I hear it.

I reach the stairs and proceed to get to the top.

"Didn't think we'd find you, catch you. Am I right?" He adds, and I am all the way to the top, heading to the point right behind Darius, so I can get a good view of what is going on.

"Well, you were all stupidly wrong!" His voice continues to boom, and I see panic in the sunken eyes of the wolves on their knees.

I find myself gripping tightly onto the railing preventing me from falling off this height.

They are traitors, which means, only one fate awaits them.
