Chapter 99 Anger Unleashed
Chapter 99
Lyra's POV
BOOM!
The sudden explosion shook everything. The walls trembled.
The floor moved under my feet like water.
I tried to stand up straight, but I couldn't. My legs wobbled. I reached out fast and grabbed the wall next to me. The walls seemed like they were closing in on me. My fingers pressed hard against the cold stone. If I let go, I would fall.
The whole room shook and shook. The door rattled in its frame. Bang, bang, bang. The window shook too. The glass made a scary sound like it might break.
On my shelf across the room, my books started to slide. One book fell. Then another. Then all of them tumbled down.
They hit the floor one after another. My scrolls rolled off too, unraveling as they fell.
Then the whole shelf tipped forward. It crashed to the ground with a loud CRASH!
The shaking wouldn't stop. My body hurt so much. The pain from earlier still burned inside me. It felt like fire in my bones. I wanted it to go away, but it stayed and stayed.
Then I heard footsteps. Heavy footsteps. They were running.
They ran right past my door. Lots of them. Many servant workers, running. I could hear their shoes slapping against the floor.
I stood still. I didn't move toward the door. Not this time. Even if someone knocked. Even if someone called my name and begged for help. I would not open that door.
"Bunch of wicked souls," I whispered. The words tasted bitter in my mouth.
The noise outside got louder. More footsteps. More shouting. People yelling things I couldn't understand. The sounds bounced off the walls in the hallway.
Feet pounded back and forth, back and forth across the stones outside my door. Looking like they were on a rescue mission.
So many people were running around like crazy. But I didn't flinch. I didn't jump. I didn't care.
I had no business helping them. None at all.
If the gods wanted to strike them down, let the gods do it. These ingrates deserved it.
The wolves in this pack were nothing but animals. Mean, cruel animals.
I closed my eyes for a second. What had I done to make them hate me so much? I tried to think. I gave them everything. My time. My sacrifice. My skills. My knowledge. Everything I had. I held nothing back. I gave and gave and gave until there was nothing else to give.
And what did they give me? Pain. Lies. Hate.
If the gods were punishing them now, they earned it. If the hate towards me made the gods strike, fine, that was okay with me.
Maybe it was Alpha Vexhood. Maybe he came back for revenge . To get revenge for what I did to him last night.
That would be beautiful.
I smiled a little. I promised myself I wouldn't lift one finger to help. Not one thumb. Not anything.
Vexhood was hurt badly last night. Very badly. The wounds I gave him were deep and terrible. It would take a very young wolf to heal from that. A wolf with special healing powers. Extra strong powers. A wolf who could recover faster than normal wolves.
But that wasn't my problem. Not anymore.
My problem was different. My problem was finding all the evil people behind Mila's death. All of them. Every single one.
I gave Jax one last chance. One final chance to prove himself. To show me he really loved Mila like he said he did.
But no. Hell no. I was so wrong about him. It was all lies. Every word. Jax never loved Mila. Not really. He was just pretending. Playing games. Showing fake love for everyone to see.
If he really loved her, he would have done things differently. He shouldn't have let the pack members judge Sabrina. He did the same thing before with the prison guard. The guard who put poison in my water when I was locked up. Jax ordered her killed right away. Executed. No waiting. No trial.
So what changed? Why was Sabrina different?
The noise outside grew even louder. Screaming now. Running. Crashing sounds. It didn't stop. It didn't get quieter. It seemed like it would never end.
I folded my arms across my chest. I lay back on my bed. My face pointed up at the ceiling. I stared at the cracks in the stone above me.
It was time. Time to move. Time to act. Time to strike down all my enemies. Time to strike down everyone who hurt Mila. Everyone who killed her. Everyone who helped. Everyone who stayed quiet.
I closed my eyes. I felt the change coming. My body started to tingle. The a
ir around me got cold.
Then I changed into my spirit form.
The revenge was here.
