Chapter 318: Arriving At the Silver Dawn Pack
Inez frowned, but she still lowered her hands and started paying attention to what the man was singing. The
humming was low. Strange. Almost like a chant, almost like he was singing a song.
"When the river bends and shadows lie,
The sea will call, the storm will reply.
Seek the nthat breaks the flame,
A crown of ash, a heart full of shame.."
Inez’s breath caught in her lungs, and she found herself leaning close to the bars. "What does that mean? What
name? Whose name?"
The man leaned forward, his face caught in the silver of the moonlight. For the first time, Inez saw nothing but
regret and pain in the eyes of the man.
"Cain." He whispered the nlike it was a curse.
But before Inez could ask him more, the sounds of the iron gates opening with a clatter broke the silence of the
prison. A second later, the guards stepped inside. They swarmed the corridor, heading straight to the cell of the
prisoner with whom Inez was talking.
"Number 72, it's your turn."
The man turned to look at Inez and sighed. "So near... and yet so far..."
Inez turned to look at the guards who were taking away the man. She questioned them in a hurry, "Wait, where
are you taking him?" She didn’t even get the nor the answers that she was waiting for. She needed a lead,
any lead that would take her to her father or close to the truth related to the disappearance of her father. She
was in so much panic that Inez didn’t even realise that she had controlled one of the guards with her voice.
One of the guards glanced at her. "To the execution grounds. His tis up." The guard then turned to look at
the prisoner and shook his head with a frown. Why did | answer the question of a prisoner?
However, the man didn’t have the tto worry about these things. He turned to look at his subordinates and
said, "Pull him out. The tis limited, and the executioner has prepared the stakes laden with wolfsbane. The
family members of those who were killed by this man are waiting to stab him to death."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlet gasped. "No!"
The man, however, didn't resist as if he knew that this was going to csooner or later. As he was dragged out
of the prison cell, chains rattled across the stones. But as he passed by Inez’s cell, he turned to look at her one
last time. His lips curled in a faint, eerie smile.
"Blood remembers, song endures,
Chains may break, but love ensures.
Find the tide, child of the two,
The sea still waits... it waits for you and just you."
The guard struck the man with the baton when he saw that the man was talking nonsense. He hauled the
prisoner away, who went crackling.
The dungeon soon returned to its usual silence, but Inez could still hear the nechoing in her head like an
electric current pulsating within her veins.
Cain.
Who even was Cain?

There was something wrong with the Silver Dawn Pack, alright. They were not situated in the middle of a forest
or away from a human settlement. In fact, they were situated right next to a rather busy town where humans
lived. Which was weird in itself. But what surprised him even more was that these people actually lived in those
tin can houses where humans lived, something that was even more suspicious because, since when did shifters
start feeling alright all cooped up within these small houses?
He looked at the well-manicured lawns; not a single leaf was lying on the roadside, as if there were shifters who
were arranged to clean these roads every day.
There was something really unusual about this place, and Killian felt an urge to pull his hair at the back of his
head. However, he resisted that urge. "How can you live in these houses?" He asked the beta who cto greet
him. Just as Seth said, he had arranged everything; he indeed arranged everything. The Silver Dawn pack was
holding a banquet in honor of the Moon Goddess; thus, all he needed was to attend the banquet in place of Seth.
Drakon turned and looked at Killian. He smiled placidly. "What's wrong with living in these houses? Even if they
are small, they have all the comfort that we need, and anyway, packs as small as ours cannot survive in the
wild."

This was the reason why Killian

staying here and raising their children
in a place like this made Killian shiver.
"We are used to it," said Drakon. One street led him to another, and it was the sas the one they had come
from. We sort of grew up here because our ancestors chere. Thus, how can we not be used to it?"
"That's even worse; you mean to say that you have never been to a forest?" Killian asked.
His beast agreed with him in his head.
"No."
"Why did you move to this place? Don’t you want to shift into your wolf form and run free?"
Drakon hummed as he tapped on the
