Chapter 59.2
Clara’s POV

I know Erik began to think about who the traitor was, but it was obvious that he rejected the thought, and I felt betrayed and disappointed. We ran through the forest using our human form, Alpha Louis, and my scent was gone, but I managed to find the way using the splattered blood of Alpha Louis. 

“They must be in such a hurry that they didn’t even erase the tracks properly,” Vincent said, and I agreed. 

“The basement must be abandoned now,” I said, and we suddenly heard some noise from the back. 

I saw a man growling at us. “Rogue!” Angeline shouted in my mind. Knowing it was a rogue, I couldn’t contain my anger and launched at the man.

“Clara!” Erik shouted worryingly, but I ignored them. I used all of my powers and revealed my claws. Using my claws, I pierced the rogue’s heart and crushed it with my hand. I didn’t give time to the rogue to prepare and defend my attack. I heard Vincent gasp and looked back at them. 

“What have you done!” Erik shouted at me angrily.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” I replied calmly.

“If we captured him, we may find some information! You, of all people, know that one wrong move you’ll turn into,” Erik exclaimed.

“Turn into what?” I asked they didn’t say anything. “Turned into what, Erik,” I asked again, threateningly. 

Erik bit his lip. “Never mind,” he said, and I ignored him. I turned my back on them and focused on the dead body in front of me. I squatted down to be closer to the corpse and smelled his scent. After becoming familiar with his scent, I raised my head and sniffed into the air. 

I smiled, happy that everything was all easy now because of this corpse. “Let’s go,” I said and ran through the forest, following the scent of that rogue. We ran until I found the basement entrance, and the time we managed to escape at that time replayed in my head. 

“This is it,” I said and was about to enter when Erik stopped me.

“Let’s go back and form a plan. We may be at a disadvantage,” he said, and I removed my hand aggressively. 

“Erik’s right, Clara. Let’s go back,” Vincent said.

“Don’t tell me the King of werewolves and the Alpha of the strongest pack is scared,” I snickered. I looked at them with disbelief and turned my back on them. “If you’re that scared, go back,” I said and entered the basement. 

I heard some footsteps and saw Erik following me from behind. I couldn’t see Vincent, so maybe he returned to the pack house and gathered some reinforcements. I remembered the way back to the prison, and Erik gulped. “That cell is where I have lived until we escaped, Erik,” I said. He held my hand and tightened his grip, but I ignored it. “That’s the cell where Alpha Louis has been chained and lived for years,” I said, and he walked towards it to take a closer look. 

“You see the blood?” I said when I saw Erik’s surprised look. “He was continuously tortured for years, and he didn’t die right away because they healed him repeatedly,” I said.

Erik has a furious look and tightens his grip. “Who goes there?” someone asked, and two rogues came into view. I remember those faces very well, and they were the ones who guarded this place.

“Oh, I didn’t know someone was still here. I thought they abandoned this place?” I asked.

“Y-you!” One of the rogues said he must have recognized me. 

I ignored him and turned to Erik. “And these two were one of the rogues who made my stay very uncomfortable, Erik. They fed me some dog food since I was pregnant until before I managed to escape,” I said to Erik.

Erik, who couldn’t contain his anger any longer, launched at the rogues furiously after I talked. Erik mercilessly killed the rogues, the other rogues who heard the commotion rushed into the prison, and the angry Erik killed them. When no rogues came, I stopped Erik, who was still killing the already dead rogues. When I saw that he had come to his senses, I backed away from him and started walking out of prison. He followed me quietly, and when we got outside, we were greeted by Vincent together with Luna Rica. I wasn’t surprised I saw the Luna here since she was a warrior. 

“You look good,” I complimented her and saw her blush.

We continued roaming around the basement, the rogues we found were all killed, and we saw a room that looked like a throne room. “Someone is playing royalty here, I see,” I said. We couldn’t find anything important in the basement and left. 

“Destroy and Burn this place until nothing is left,” I ordered Luna Rica, and she nodded. 

As I watched how they destroyed and burned the place, I just stood there and watched. Erik hugged me from behind, and even though I was irritated at him, I wouldn’t deny that his warmth comforted me.
