Chapter 40 Pay the price
In front of the rouge was a group of civilians from Puro City.
Everyone had chains on their hands and were pushed forward by the rouge, each with fear and despair on their faces.
Among the civilians were some children of a few years old, following their families, looking ahead with pure eyes, not knowing what was waiting for them.
"The bastards!" Adri clenched her fists and glared at Knox who came out last.
"Adri, you can attack Puro City right now, but then these civilians will die at your hands and be known to the rest of the world, and will you be able to make the civilians continue to trust you?" Knox laughed as he sat in a car and provoked Adri.
"Adri, how sure are you?" I asked in a low voice as I stood beside him.
"Less than fifty percent, and once the attack starts, it's hard to avoid not hurting civilians." Adri also lowered his voice and answered.
"I'll protect the civilians, and you surround Knox with them," I whispered.
Adri looked at Knox and nodded.
As we began to advance and the civilians were pushed forward, the women in the group looked at the children around them and shed tears of despair. Adri and I completed our transformations and Carlton rushed over, Adri with the wolves quickly rushed at the rouge behind the civilians.
The rouge tried to push the civilian in front of the werewolf, but Adri and the werewolf he led jumped instantly over the civilian's head, avoiding the civilian. Carlton and I seized the opportunity and rushed over to block the group of civilians, breaking the chains with our claws.
"Get out of here!" Carlton yelled back at the civilians, who began to flee to the back.
"Kill them!" Knox gave the order icily.
In front of the civilians, a group of rouge rushed out and blocked the civilians' path.
To stop us from saving the civilians, Knox rushed towards me.
I went into a berserk state and fought Knox.
He was stronger than me, and even in his berserk state, I couldn't outrun him by much.
Adri and I, as well as Carlton, were held back by Knox and the rouge he led, and were unable to save the civilians.
The rouge was also separating the other wolves from the civilians.
Under the rouge's sharp claws, civilians kept falling, and the smell of blood filled the entire battlefield, mixed with the cries of children, echoing in mid-air.
"Knox! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" I hissed in anger and recoiled towards Knox, slapping him out with my claws.
Then turned and charged towards the group of civilians, slapping their heads together before the rouge killed the last few.
But still, people fell.
"No...... be strong and live! Please......." I looked at the crying child beside her, her face splattered with her blood.
I covered the wound on her chest with my paw, trying to help her stop the bleeding, but the blood still flowed from my fingers.
"Thank you..... but I won't survive....... please take care of my child ...... don't leave him alone... ..." she uttered to me with difficulty, blood gushing frantically from the corners of her mouth. "No, you'll be fine, you trust me! I will definitely save you ...... definitely......" Before I could finish my words, she had slowly closed her eyes.
Before she died, she reached out and tenderly stroked the child's face, with only tenderness and love in her eyes.
She was a very good mother.
But her hand crashed to the ground and she stopped breathing completely.
The girl beside her seemed to know that she could no longer wake her mother, and slowly stopped crying, lying quietly beside her, tears running down the corners of her eyes. "Knox! You should pay for what you've done!"

Everything in front of my eyes gradually turned red and the color was deepening.
Crossing over the countless bodies on the ground, I took a step towards Knox, anger and bloodlust eating away at my sanity.
In my mind, there was only the appearance of that woman before she died.
Over the battlefield, my roar echoed as countless werewolves and rouges covered their heads in pain.
"Kasha!" Adri stared at me with wide eyes.
I jumped up and landed in front of Knox, pinning him to the ground with my claws.
Knox glared at me trying to break free as Pema rushed from the side.
Adri quickly rushed over and knocked Pema out of the way.
I opened my mouth and bit Knox's neck, the taste of blood spreading in my mouth, but driven by anger, I continued to increase the intensity.
Pema lunged at me again, and I threw Knox away, turned around and sent her flying with my claws, and she landed far down on the ground, blood pouring out of her body. The rouge saw Knox die and fled in droves.
I turned around and walked slowly toward the girl, blood dripping from the corners of my mouth onto the ground as I walked by.
As I stood in front of her, a small knife in her hand stabbed into my front paw.
"Kasha!" Adri rushed over.
While I kept my eyes on her, I glanced at my right front paw, a wound that didn't affect me much at all.
Adri nodded to me when she saw my eyes returning to normal.
I turned and ran to an out of the way corner to revert to my human form.
The knife on my arm fell to the ground and I looked at the wound on my hand and changed my clothes before returning to the girl.
"Will you come with me?" I asked as I knelt down and looked at her.
She nodded to me after a moment of hesitation.
"Very well, what is your name?" I asked as I reached out my left hand and rubbed her head.
"Melia," she said with fear on her mud and blood stained face.
"A very beautiful name." I stood up and held out my hand to her, and she slowly reached out and placed it in my palm and followed me away. After a few steps, she looked back at her mother, who had long since ceased to breathe on the other side, and without a word, followed me away. Puro City was recaptured and everyone was celebrating.
I took Melia back to Adri's house.
A big fight in Puro City didn't make Misius treat me any better, but rather he was more upset at the sight of me because I had exposed Rachel.
In the lobby, Misius glared at me with a furious look on his face.
"You should know very well that I will never approve of your marriage with Adri. If you really love him, you should stay away from him and don't presume to be his wife." Misius said to me with a cold face. "Kasha is pregnant, she's having my baby." Adri said standing in front of me.
"What?" Misius froze for a moment.
"I will marry her, even if you are against me being with her, I will do that, she will be the only wife and the love of my life!" Adri said firmly to Misius.
"This child cannot be kept, let alone born! He will only make you a joke in the whole family, you are an Alpha, you must recognize that!"
