Chapter 779

Baxter:

Finally, things were normal for a while, at least for a few hours.

Then Sawyer woke up.

Daniel informed me that people had gone a little crazy, just as expected.

I mean, every country, every pack, needs a leader.

And when they don’t have one, they feel like they don’t know where to go, where to head, or what to do.

That’s what’s happening right now.

As he helped me put on my shoes, Daniel added, “People really want you to come and speak with Sawyer.”

I could have healed from Sawyer’s claw with just one transition.

But I was doing it for the sake of the people who were too scared of one monster.

Because if I transitioned now, imagine how they would feel.

At least I had to keep up the facade of being human for a while.

I already knew how I was going to deal with everything later on.

“Did they tell you why?” I asked Daniel because I wanted to know what the people were thinking.

“Well, the answer is pretty simple,” Daniel replied. “Sawyer himself told them you were an alpha, an ex-alpha, and these people aren’t completely unfamiliar with the werewolf system. So they know you have the power and the knowledge to lead a pack. They believe you’ll be able to deal with their problems, especially when it comes to a monster.”

As he finished explaining, we both walked out of the hospital room.

Livia was standing in the hallway, her arms folded across her chest and her back resting against the wall.

When she saw us, she smiled brightly and approached.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

I gave her a nod.

“Are you?” I asked in return, noticing Daniel immediately pull out his phone, a frown settling on his face.

“I’m good. The guards retrieved my mother. She was being held in a prison with many other relatives of the people here,” she explained, her eyes drifting toward Daniel.

I had no idea what had happened. I’d actually fallen asleep. The claw wound was really painful to deal with.

Like I said, I couldn’t transition right now.

“Are you guys headed to see Sawyer?” she asked again, her eyes briefly shifting to Daniel.

I noticed Daniel was completely ignoring her.

It was the complete opposite of how he used to behave around her.

To be honest, I didn’t have any complaints.

In fact, I liked it.

Finally, the fool was taking a step for himself.

“Sure,” I replied.

Daniel slipped his phone back into his back pocket.

“Should we go?” he asked me without looking at Livia even once.

“Yeah, let’s go,” Livia commented.

But Daniel acted as if he hadn’t even heard her.

“Yeah, let’s go,” Only after I spoke up, did he start moving.

He took the lead.

By then, we had already reached the prison.

Outside, an entire line of soldiers stood waiting.

The moment I arrived, I noticed all the warriors smiling at me.

It was almost as if they were already discussing me among themselves.

When they led me inside, I realized they had kept him in a completely separate

area.

“So now I’ll be forcibly contained?” he asked, “what a coward.”

He let out a chuckle as he lifted his head from the ground.

Both his hands were chained to the wall with silver restraints.

Iron shackles had been fastened around his ankles.

I stood across the bars, my hands tucked into my pants pockets.

“So you really have lost your wolf,” he continued and I shrugged.

“You know, I used to wonder what this emptiness in my heart was. Now I finally know.”

There was a storm of emotions in his eyes.

“You’ll remember too. Don’t worry,” he said, making me frown.

How the fuck did he know I didn’t remember?

“What are you going to do to me? Kill me? Do you think that’ll bring Madeline back?”

The moment he mentioned my wife, rage flared inside me.

My jaw clenched.

Daniel immediately placed a hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down.

“Don’t let him get to you,” Daniel whispered.

Sawyer threw his head back and chuckled.

“You should kill me,” he continued.

“Because until you do, I’ll keep coming back,” he said in a raspy voice.

“Sir, what should we do with him?” a Guard asked from the side.

I noticed Sawyer didn’t like that one of the Guards was asking me to decide his fate.

“Oh, you think you’re all that, huh?”

For the first time, Sawyer dropped his calm demeanor.

“You think you can replace me?” he screamed.

Thankfully, he did.

I noticed the guards exchanging glances, as though they had just realized that was

indeed an option.

“He doesn’t belong in this land,” I said.

The others immediately nodded in agreement.

Sawyer’s jaw tightened.

“Of course you’d say that. Either you don’t belong here, or I don’t.”

I had no idea what he was talking about.

His words sounded as though they came from a deep-rooted history, but we had no

such history together.

“Then we’ll contact the werewolves,” the Guard said.

The moment I heard those words, every hair on my body stood on end.

I caught Sawyer giving me a strange grin.
