Chapter 7

Anthony let Secilia cry for as long as he could, but he understood they couldn’t remain there. That doctor in the lab coat and the lion therianthrope were still a threat. He was sure they would begin searching for the two of them very soon.

He placed a hand on Secilia’s shoulder. The girl turned her head and looked at him, her eyes red and swollen, her cheeks stained with tears.

“Anthony…”

“Come on,” he said in a soft voice. “We need to keep moving. Otherwise, that director guy will find us.”

“But… Mom…”

“We’ll take her with us.” Anthony looked at Secilia’s mother, at her glassy eyes and still chest, then fixed his gaze on Secilia again. “We won’t be able to keep her body since it will start to decompose, but we… we can at least find a good spot to bury her.”

At his words, Secilia looked like she might start crying again. Yet as she stared into his eyes, she settled down and eventually nodded.

“Okay…”

With her agreement, Anthony lifted Luna into his arms. She wasn’t light. However, she also wasn’t heavy. It was a little hard to carry her because she was dead weight, but his strength had grown since accepting Brianna as a bondmate.

“Let’s keep heading deeper into the canyon,” Anthony suggested.

“Okay,” Secilia agreed readily enough.

He glanced at her again, at her dull eyes and worn face, at the way her shoulders had slumped. She looked like one of those people who had given up hope. It was like she had reached the end and no longer had anything to live for.

He wished he could do something for her, but he didn’t know what he could do.

They set off at a slow pace. Anthony wasn’t worried about Director Azrael or the leonid finding him right now. It would take them some time before they could begin searching. This mountainous canyon was also quite large, so it would take them a while to search everywhere, and while leonid’s did have a good sense of smell, it wasn’t as good as other therianthropes. It would be harder to track them by scent.

It didn’t look like there were any trees in this canyon, but there were several areas that contained really tall grass. They stayed clear of those spots and continued traveling through the canyons. As he looked up, Anthony noticed the sky had grown dark. The sun had almost disappeared below the mountain. It would be hard to continue traveling in this rugged terrain once that happened.

“We should find a cave or something to rest in,” Anthony said. “We also need to find a spot to… to bury your mom.”

“Y-yeah.” Secilia looked like she was barely holding herself together. He worried she might break down, but there was nothing he could do right now.

They eventually found a cave after walking for what felt like an hour but was probably less time than either of them realized. It was not a large cave. He would have said it was about the size of his bedroom back home, but that was enough for them to rest in.
