Chapter 106: Chapter 106

We were all standing facing this more than macabre and repulsive sight as I covered my nose and mouth. As Aisha so aptly surmised earlier, these mutants seem to have a limited period, if I'm referring to them appearing until they die, I'd say no more than 24 hours. But 24 hours is long, very long even to allow them to commit a real slaughter among humans. It wouldn't be nice to witness that in real life, a real apocalyptic image.

I've heard that the damage, though channeled by the Alliance, still managed to terrorize the corners of the city where these mutants burst in before the Alliance arrived. More than a dozen humans were killed in less than a day, something that hasn't happened in decades. I understand why Greg was so concerned last night, it must have been a complicated situation for him especially since he is the leader of the Alliance.

I gritted my teeth. I'm not sure I can be of much help but I'm going to do my best to stop my grandfather from his madness. By any means possible, I think I'm going to have to meet Jessy again, I know I absolutely can't reason with these people, how can I? They've gone so far as to endanger innocent victims for their plans and they don't seem to want to stop until they hurt Greg and that's out of the question.

What can I do? I gritted my teeth, it's fine to want to meet Jessy, but then what am I going to do so that he helps me prevent the catastrophe that I know will happen if things continue in this way?

Should I just let him lead me to their hideout and then report it to the Alliance? But if I do that, I will also denounce myself as an accomplice, it's way too risky for a plan even if it's the only one I have.

But if I do, I expose myself at the same time if I keep my arms crossed, I'm sure the next salvo will be more deadly, I don't see my grandfather stopping in such a good way. I watched the bodies of the mutants in the pit imagining the horror their victims must have felt as they snatched their lives. Having to find yourself in front of such a monstrosity and then having your guts ripped out by this monster without being able to defend yourself. Without understanding what is happening to them and especially not understanding how such creatures straight out of urban myths can attack them now.

The dread and despair may have invaded their hearts, and I could prevent that from happening but I fear too much for my life. I'm pathetic

I only care about my face when millions of people are in danger and I could save them an atrocious death.

I put my hands around my shoulders before I started shaking. I'm fucking selfish but I'm scared, any normal person would act the same way; we're not in those heroic movies where one sacrifices oneself to save the multitude. Damn, I'm jealous of my life, I don't want to die, I have dreams, ambitions, desires, and a love that I want to stay with.

I frowned before pulling myself together. I know it's downright disgusting what I decided but I am a person without morals, so no one blames me for thinking of myself first.

The world may crumble, and the others may well all die but I have to stay alive, for my parents who were so cowardly murdered, for me who wants to live and enjoy all that life has to offer but especially for him.

I looked up at Greg who was talking with Elsa and the others and clenched my fist to my chest. No matter what and how I'm going to do it, only his safety must count, so even if I have to operate like a bitch, even if innocent people still have to be sacrificed for it, I'm going to make sure that Greg and I let's have a future together.

I looked at the pit again and my heart sank as I recognized some humans despite the significant physical changes. They were captive with Stacy that day. I only rescued Stacy, leaving them to their fate. They had no doubt a family, projects, dreams, and ambitions, but because only the lives of the people who are dear to me matter, I only saved Stacy and I did nothing for them. They must have endured excruciating pain and longed for death as the worst experiments were done on them. They had to beg to be finished off but it never came and eventually, they were turned into monsters with a limited lifespan. Maybe they were still conscious while attacking their peers, it must have been difficult for them, certainly, others will experience the same. But I can't do anything for them unless it jeopardizes my future with Greg.

I sighed feeling Greg's hand on my back.

" You do not have to attend this kind of macabre spectacle."

I shook my head.

" No, on the contrary. I have to get used to it rather so I'll be more willing to experience similar situations and thus be of any use to you."

" THANKS."

I gasped in surprise before looking at him.

" This situation is so difficult for me, these people were under my protection but I couldn't do anything for them. I feel so useless as the leader of the Alliance, Alpha of Soul Moon, and just a man. I am so…"

I took his hand squeezing it.

" You do not have to be. You are awesome, Elsa told me what you do every day for this town and its people regardless of race and species. Humans as creatures, you make no difference, you are not a tyrant despite your power and your strength and you have the respect of all. Even if you think otherwise, honey, you're the most amazing man I've ever met. You just have to remember that nothing is insurmountable and I'm here too. At my level, I will bring you my help."

Yeah... I'll do it no matter what I have to do about it, if Greg can be safe I'll get my hands dirty if I have to.

Greg smiled before nodding.

"Don't do anything dangerous, please."

" If it means protecting you, Nothing scares me."

We went to join the others before hearing gasps. We turned to see a group of men and women dressed in black and among them...Chad?

" That's something else."

Rayan sighed before turning to face the new arrivals.

"Good evening creatures of darkness."

Greg walked along with Aisha and Duke Vangard while Chad only gave me piercing looks that made me feel uncomfortable. I looked away closer to Elsa and Pamela as Chad clenched his jaw.

To see his Sophia in the company of these creatures knowing that she must be manipulated, breaks his heart. He just wants to attack them and kill them all before tearing Sophia out of their influence.

" Hunters, what brings you here?"

The man in the lead sneered, looking at the pit before giving Greg a cold look.

" Are you still asking the question? The pact was visibly broken and…"

" I don't see how it was broken…"

" Are you kidding us?"

Aisha smiled, putting a finger to her lips.

" It seems to me that the Alliance is not responsible for what happened here. We are even the ones who took care of this problem getting rid of the threat. So coming to accuse us like this is a total lack of courtesy."

"Nothing proves that you are not involved."

" And nothing proves that we are."

Greg responded putting both sides in a stalemate. Chad was tired of listening to them, Sophia was the one who had to take priority here.

" But how do you explain that you made a human your slave?"

The three Clan leaders looked surprised for a moment before Chad pointed to Sophia.

" I am talking about this girl, she is human but resides with you. This is a serious violation of the pact. No creature has the right to copulate with a human."

I glared at Chad. But shut up.
