The Revenge

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

2 days later

"We should contact him" Erik held his chin, sitting behind his desk leaning back in his chair.

"Ya we should bring Markus in, we can do it now" Sin sat in the chair across from Erik.

Erik glanced at Gunner "can you bring him in?"

Gunner nodded once then stood up leaving the room. I didn't even realize when I started pacing around the room. I felt both of their gazes on me and stopped, biting one of my nails off. An annoying habit I developed recently, whenever I felt anxious. Erik raised an eyebrow with a questioning look on his face while Sin just smiled at me reassuringly. I let out a calming breath and sat down. I didn't even know why I felt so nervous. Maybe I was afraid of Torben's reaction, would he go on a rampage? He had to know by now, wouldn't he? No, I promised myself I wouldn't be afraid of him. The click of the door snapped me out of my thoughts.

I glanced towards the noise and saw Gunner and Markus behind him entering the room. Markus browsed the room then smiled at the sight of me and Sin. He was still nervous and cautious around Erik but seeing us there he seemed more composed. With every other werewolf from his pack, he was a lot calmer. Something about Erik's aura was keeping him on the edge as he explained to me yesterday. I understood where he was coming from. Erik's aura was strong and dominating but it did nothing to me or Sin. Erik was nothing compared to Torben.

At the sight of Markus, Erik gestured for him to sit down. He sat down on the last available chair next to Sin and I walked towards him. Standing next to him a put my hand on his shoulder in a reassuring manner and to get his attention. He looked at me.

"It's time to contact him" I smiled at him confidently but deep inside I was dying with nervousness.

He nodded "what do you want me to tell him"

"Tell him we have his Luna and son, and if he doesn't cooperate they'll end up dead." I glanced at Erik then back to Markus "once you tell him we go from there"

Markus closed his eyes and sat still. Noone made any noise. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin dropping to the floor. His breaths got deeper fell into a rhythm.

He shot his eyes open. "He's livid. He's saying he'll kill all of us. And he is asking who is us"

"Tell him" Erik his voice was calm but his eyes were hard as stone.

"He is asking what we want" Markus's eyes landed on everyone's face and stopped at mine.

"Tell him, we want to meet him outside Arlon city in two days" I stated. Arlon city was situated in a valley and was perfect for a battle. He wouldn't see us coming.

Markus nodded and closed his eyes once again. Seconds later his voice echoed in the room "he will be there"

After leaving Erik's office I went into the training grounds with Sin and Markus. I needed to train, there was no going back now. I needed to be ready to face Torben.

My eyes didn't let Markus's body. We stood across from each other each of us waiting for the other to make the first move. I wiggled my finger suggesting to him to make a move with a smirk on my face. He lunged forward his fist curled going for my jaw. Just in time, I put my arm up covering my face while he hit my forearm. When he was distracted with his punch to my jaw a millisecond later I landed a punch to his abdomen. He took a step back and gasped and groaned at the same time. I couldn't help but smirk at him again. A determination was written all over his face when he went for a kick and I jumped away. I leapt forward going for a punch but he expected my movement and before I hit him he caught my fist then grabbed my wrist, pulled me closer to him and twisted it to an uncomfortable angle. Sharp pain radiated from my arm but I didn't yield.
