Chapter 43
Perseus grumbled. It had only been a month since his inner wolf had appeared, and he wanted to prove that he could help his brothers in battle.
“Galilee, tell me where they kept you.” Inside the mansion or outside?
“In a little wooden house.
“I suppose they’re all together at night.”
“Yes, I alone managed to spend two nights with him. He just used us. He’d call one of his men and they’d bring us inside the house.” I remembered a drain of water that comes from the rains and passes under the wall, flowing into the river. But it’s covered by two grilles, although you can go in and out there. That drain is close to the house. I didn’t use it because I sneaked out the other side and into the thick forest.
That same afternoon, Maya called Danna to inform her of the injustices being committed in the incoming herd. Maya dressed in a tight-fitting black suit.
In the night, Perseus showed up with a black SUV and was anxious, while Maya wanted to find out what was going on inside that pack. Perseus drove for several hours until he reached a safe distance. From the top of a mountain, they studied the place. I only had a watchtower, five men there, and a patrol car. The wall was three meters high, with a gate in front of it and about twenty men watching.
They walked to the area of the river where the drainage was. Between the two brothers, they removed the first grate with tools.
“For once, Perseus, listen to me and stay here waiting. If you want to be a good leader, you must first follow orders.
“Okay, I’ll wait here,” he replied reluctantly, hoping his sister would let him participate.
Maya began to crawl with a flashlight in her hand. There were rodents and other vermin; The place was somewhat cramped. He made it to the other side without a hitch, removed the grille, and poked his head out. He looked up at the tower and saw the men distracted. Slowly, he went out and looked for a place to hide, spotted the wooden house, approached from the back, and touched each wooden plank to see if any were loose, but nothing. He had no choice but to climb a tree that overlooked the roof of the house. He slipped down a branch and fell onto the wooden roof. He did the same, silently checking each splint until he found a loose one, carefully picked it up, and poked his head out. He studied where he was going to fall, then tucked his legs, then his torso, and his hands gripped the edge of the planks on each side. He swayed and fell to his knees. The noise alerted the women, who looked at the visitor with fear.
“What are you doing here?” A trembling discouraged voice asked.
“I’m Maya, Queen Danna’s beta. Galilee told me about you, and I have come to rescue you.
“Is she all, right?” Thank you, goddess Selene, for your divine mercy,” another girl said with sadness in her voice. If we leave, they will find us and kill us.
“Yes! Galilee is well and is in the Vilkas herd, there no one will harm them. Queen Danna will give them asylum and protection in that pack.
“I’m Sarah, are you really going to get us out of here?”
“Sander will kill us,” a faint, frightened voice was heard.
“Trust me, I’ve been in battle with Queen Danna. Haven’t you heard that the queen of wolves without humanity is capable of anything?
“My name is Grea…” Yes, I’ve heard it from her. My family is in the northern lands, but they kidnapped me when I was going there with them,” the weak voice said.
“They’ll go with me; I promise to get them out of here alive.”
“I want to get out of here.” Tears of despair began to roll down Grea’s battered face. I can’t take it anymore.
Sara went over to comfort her friend.
“Don’t cry anymore, the beta Maya is going to get us out of here.”
“I’m counting seven. How many women are there?
“There were 8 of us in total. Yesterday they took one out who didn’t come back, and now one is with Sander and they’ll bring her back in a while,” Sara replied.
“How many guards bring her?”
“Two guards,” Sara replied again, while Grea was curled up in her arms. Like the other women, they hugged each other.
“If they see you, they’ll take you to Sander,” said a trembling Grea.
“Trust me. Today they will be free.
30 minutes passed when the crying and tantrums of a woman and men were heard insulting her.
Maya saw that the bravest was Sarah, she took a knife from her boot and held it out to him.
“I’m going to kill one.” If you see that he took a long time to kill him and the other one intervenes, I’m going to need your help.
“I’ll help you.” “It will be my pleasure to kill that demon,” Sara said in a voice full of anger.
They heard the key in the door and turn the handle, the door opened, two men went in a little and threw the woman they were bringing like a sack of garbage.
Maya was on one side of the wall, because it was dark, the men couldn’t see her. He came up behind one of them and with one movement broke his neck; the other guard turned to look at Maya and Sara took advantage, threw himself at him, and vented all her anger by stabbing him again and again. Maya stopped her after twenty stab wounds.
“Sarah, you’ve already killed him. They won’t bother you anymore.” Extending his hand, he continued. Better give me the knife.
Sara stood up and handed the knife to Maya, who wiped it clean and put it back in her boot.
“Come, all of you, get together, and do as I tell you,” he looked at Sara to tell her. You’ll help me with them.
“Gladly.
Maya saw them all again.
“From what I could see outside, every 30 minutes the guards make their rounds. There are 10 minutes left until they happen again. We’ll hide behind the house. Once they pass, we’ll run to the drain; The grid is half set, one after the other it will run and they will get in quickly until they reach the end. My brother will be there waiting for us. I agree?
They all came with their heads, they were happy, holding hands. Maya poked her head out and saw no one. The first to leave was Sarah, and each of the women followed them. The last one was Maya, and she locked the door. The women were crouched behind the house. Maya, seeing the patrol car, told them.
“Come on, women. I don’t know how long we have before you realize two guards are missing, so move as fast as you can.
The women ran and crawled away one by one. Perseus pulled them and helped them out. The last one was Maya, who arranged the grids as they were.
“I was about to come get you.” You had me nervous. If you took longer, I was about to go in to check that nothing had happened to you.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Crybaby, you don’t seem to know your sister. Let’s get these women in the van.
They walked a long way to the car. One by one they mounted and climbed on top of each other. They were uncomfortable, but for them the important thing was to be free again.
Perseus sped out of the place. They heard the alarms of the incoming herd in the distance.
