---- Now, with Vera out of the way, Wallace had even more control over his people.
He only wanted to become stronger, to take from that power, and for that, he needed the two idiots he was about to meet.
"Memento, you better be ready to chant your crap today!" He exclaimed, entering dominantly into the next chamber.
Avast cavern filled with frost, the ceiling towering high with sharp stalactites pointing downward.
In the center stood a gigantic crystal, much bigger than the one Lyra found near the Fertile Valley Pack.
The temperature here chilled even the strongest hearts, and the two "hostages" were no exception.
Memento rose, pale, from the altar, his old bones aching, the cold biting deep into his soul.
The young assistant beside him helped him up.
"Lord Wallace, Mr.
Memento hasn't recovered from the last spell yet.
At this rate, he'll die," the boy dared to whisper.
He hated this bastard who was forcing them to their deaths, just like he secretly murdered the Alpha and now blackmailed them.
---- "Did | ask for your opinion?" Wallace drilled him with his gaze.
"The last | heard about your mother, she wasnt doing so well.
Do you want her to die prematurely?" "you..." Enough, Kile," Memento, an older wolf with some gray strands woven through his reddish hair, finally intervened.
Ithad been along time since he saw sunlight, and his tired green eyes stared coldly at the Alphas son.
"If you want me to extract more power from the rock, we must see our families, know they are well.

Surely, you understand I can't just take your word for it..." "Tsk, you demand too much for the shit you give me," Wallace growled, things getting more complicated as time passed.
"You have until tomorrow night to recover and give me what I want, or what I'll bring back might be your sons head...
and your mothers." He pointed at them, huffing and turning around, shivering as he fought the cold inside the cavern.
Memento remained worried, staring at his back; if that man kept exploiting them like this, they wouldn't survive.
He was using their families to blackmail them while telling William ---- that he was locked away healing the Alphas grave illness.
That way, he secured a loyal warrior and a priest.
Memento thought about buying time so someone could uncover Wallaces web of lies, but his hope was fading by the day.
"Master, if you force yourself again, you'll die, you understand? You'll die!" his young assistant gripped his shoulders.
Memento saw his younger self in that boy, many years ago, when he told his own master they were lucky to be chosen to learn how to extract power.
«No, Memento.
This powerful energy is the gift of a God, and we, simple animals, shouldnt tamper with what we dont understand.» His master had saidbut still, he was forced by the pack's Alpha to draw magic from the crystal.
He watched his master weaken just like he was now, and even with all those warnings, he hadnt accepted the offer to escape with him He stayed behind and took his place The Alpha favored him then, even naming his son William as Beta, and occasionally performing the secret ceremony of stealing magic; however, when Wallace learned the truth, his greed dragged them all into ruin.
"T have no other choice, Kile...
I brought this calamity on myself," ---- he whispered, staring at the oppressive frozen crystal where a shadow moved insidealive, throbbing, waitin; Ina hidden corer, the darkness "listened" and "watched," transmitting everything it discovered.
Far away from there, Lyra opened her eyes in astonishment, her heart pounding fast.
She had uncovered a decisive secret.
