Chapter 17

Arawl

The moonlight illuminates the small clearing in front of the portal, enough that I can easily make out Eral and the five betas clustered near him. The males are almost uniformly dark gray. I recognize the brothers immediately. Vrox, Tas, Mentep, Gorn, and Etier are among the strongest betas that the tribe has to offer and only distinguishable from each other by subtle white marks on their faces. I’ve never interacted with them personally. They never travel by portal to my memory and tend to keep to their own company. I know of them mostly by reputation, though Gorn seems somehow familiar. They stand stiffly as they watch me approach, only shifting enough to drop their head in polite acknowledgment.

Though not as large in stature as Eral or me, they bristle with a considerably large number of blades strapped to their bodies in addition to the packs they wear. I feel almost embarrassingly underprepared in comparison given that my two short swords strapped to my side are my only other armaments. Even Ana only has a single dagger and it took some convincing for her to even take that, despite her insistence that she knew nothing of using blades. Although she has her magic to protect her, I am determined to teach her a few self-defense techniques with the blade during our trek to the northern border.

Even if she goes back to the mortal world maybe she can stab the next elf who doesn’t fuck off. Not surprisingly that doesn’t make me feel much better.

Fahuri arrives just moments later with Rashi at her side and Jinx, cloaked like Ana, tucked between them. It is a wise formation, not unlike whenever the tribe must travel that we keep the omegas in the center. Jinx raises his hand and waves cheerfully.

Gorn looks to his brothers for a moment before turning to the tribe’s enforcer. “Why are we taking humans? They are too weak and too slow for such a mission, Eral. They should remain here in the village.”

I stiffen but Ana ducks around me, a series of words sighing off her lips as she raises her hand and draws it down sharply, pulling a bolt of lightning to crack just a foot away from the brothers. Immediately, they duck back, grabbing for their weapons. I step between them, a growl echoing in my chest as she pushes back her hood and glares at them.

“Try it, assholes, and next time I won’t miss. You will all be smelling of burnt dog hair for the next few weeks.” They back down with an unsettled look between them and she grins. “A lesson for you boys: humans may be small and physically weaker, but we use everything we have to our advantage.”

“Don’t fuck with witches if you don’t want to get burned,” Jinx jeers from his place of relative safety. “You’re lucky that Ana is so nice. I so wouldn’t have missed. Maybe being singed would improve your sourpuss attitudes.” The brothers eye him sourly and cluster together even tighter, their fur bristling.
