Emma ran at full speed towards Hera and Jake's class. Her nose was red because she kept crying all the way. She ignored her torn lips. Emma was more worried about her best friend's condition than her condition.
Emma knew very well how cruel Pamela was when it came to Jake. She had heard that someone was hospitalized because she was close to Jake. That was why everyone could only admire Jake from afar without really approaching him.
Emma thought Elyna would be fine because she was part of Jake's family. But it seemed she was too naive. Right now, she didn't even know where Pamela had taken Elyna.
Emma remembered Hera taking Jake and Eir, who suddenly collapsed, to their school clinic. Therefore, she first looked for someone who could help them there. Emma opened the door to the school clinic in a hurry. When she saw Emma there frowning, Emma felt relieved until she started crying.
"HE-SOB, HERA!"
Her face was full of tears, and Hera knew there must be something wrong with Elyna until Emma looked for her in the school clinic while crying.
"ELY, ELYNA-"
Without needing to hear further explanation, Hera knew what was happening. She quickly got up from her sitting position, followed by Jake, who was still pale, and Eir, who was unsteady when she tried to get off the bed.
"You guys just stay here!"
Eir and Jake were exhausted, but they tried to go with Hera. Hera tried to forbid them. But both of them shook their heads confidently.
"We can stay here when Luna is in danger!"
Jake insisted on going while Eir simply frowned. They regretted letting Elyna be alone with Emma because they felt that the academy where they went to school was a safe place managed by one of the werewolf packs. Their Luna's safety was the top priority. Even if they couldn't walk, they had to crawl to where their Luna was.
Hera also knew about their duty. Although worried, she finally let them force themselves to run with her.
"Alpha said he'll be here in ten-no. Five minutes!"
Jake and Eir nodded. They could also hear Val's telepathy. Hera, Jack, and Eir immediately paled. They could imagine how angry Val was from the tone of his voice.

"Elyna..."
Elyna turned around when she heard the soft voice. Her empty gaze slowly regained its light. Elyna smiled softly. Her hands reached out to invite Tritan to hug her.
"Bro...ther," Elyna whispered brokenly. She reached for Tritan's hand to stroke her blood-stained cheek. Elyna closed her eyes to feel her brother's hand gently stroke her cheek.
"I miss you," Tritan whispered honestly. Tears slowly came out of his red eyes. Although Elyna was not fully conscious, he still cried to express the feeling of longing that suddenly broke in.
Tritan moved to hug Elyna tightly. Now that Elyna was back in his arms, he would never let anyone take her again.
"Let's go home, Elyna."
Tritan showed his form in front of Elyna. A black wing stretched out. Then, in a split second, their bodies finally disappeared into the air.

After hearing the news that Tritan attacked Eir and Jake, Val immediately went to the academy with the core members of his pack. They didn't expect Tritan to break the agreement between the two races that easily. Now that Tritan was proven to have openly attacked the werewolves in their territory, they could think that the peace treaty was over.
Val contacted several packs he knew. After hearing Val's explanation, they finally agreed to consider that the peace treaty no longer existed. Luna was the most important essence in their lives. Although the werewolf race was not always united like the vampire race, they were all united when it came to matters concerning their mates.
'Alpha, Elyna disappeared when I was accompanying Jake and Eir at the clinic. We're looking for her now. She shouldn't have left the academy grounds yet.'
CRACK!
The backrest of Val's car shattered into pieces when Val received telepathy from Hera. His mind was in disarray. He wanted to transform into a werewolf to find his mate if only the others hadn't immediately stopped him.
"Alpha, we're in the middle of the city! Please calm yourself down!"
Val's eyes turned light brown, a sign that her wolf side was taking over. It could be serious if Val lost control and turned into a wolf in that place. Duke stepped on the gas pedal even more. He no longer pays attention to traffic signs because of Val.
"Alpha!"
As soon as they arrived at the academy area, Val immediately came out and ran in the direction where Elyna's smell was. Jake, Eir, and Hera had already been there. The three held their breaths when they saw Val's shining brown eyes.
"Alpha, we're sorry."
Val's breath caught when he smelled Elyna amidst the bloody mess in the warehouse behind the academy. The instinct to destroy everything drives Val crazy. Without Elyna, Val no longer has a reason to continue his life.
"Val, Elyna isn't dead! All this blood isn't hers!"
Before Val went crazy, Zen, who rushed to see the situation, immediately shouted to alert his older brother. It was quite effective because, after that, Val was a little calmer even though he still had a hard time holding back the chaos his inner wolf caused because of Elyna's disappearance.
"Find... Elyna."
His whole body was shaking. No one knew whether it was because of anger or because of the fear that was increasingly enveloping him.
"Find our Luna even if it will destroy the existing balance," he ended firmly.
