Let's Go Home

Clary's POV

I held my dagger when we reached our destination, it is another day to let some wolves pay for their wrongful doings. It was the kingdom from the east where the wolves who have killed me that night is residing. I wouldn't let them escape from the anger that I am feeling, I will have no mercy with them, not when they killed my child.

Marcus have told me that they were able to kill and finish those wolves who have ambushed and shot me. That is how they were able to rescue me that night. However, he believed that there are still some wolves who colluded with Andrea and were about to kill me also that night. According to him, there were still other wolves that were about to approach me when they rescued me. Some of those wolves were in the borders that night.

They haven't laid a finger with me yet, but they were planning. I could have save m child if they were not that many in numbers. I could have protected us.

When we arrived at the village where they were residing, everything was quiet. There was actually no wolf to be found when we arrived. Everything is field with blood, but there is no one to be seen. It was odd to see this place quiet, it was odd to see a village to be quiet. I couldn't comprehend why there is no one here, was someone leaked an information that my cousin and I are coming? No, that is impossible, only my family knows that I will be coming here today.

"Are you sure that this is the place?" I impatiently asked Marcus who was busy opening each door of every houses in this village to see anyone.

"I have never been wrong, Erina." He sounded serious, probably thinking why there is no one.

I was about to speak when I saw some man hiding in the tree behind some house. I immediately dashed towards her direction and I was able to grab his collar instantly with my speed.

He was shocked, probably with my speed. "P-please...let me alive," he pleaded with his eyes full of fear. That made me remember of the night that I pleaded to not kill me. The thought made me become more angry.

I pointed my dagger in his neck as I started questioning him, "where are the others?"

He looked terrified, with his hands trembling out of fear. "T-There are no wolves here...now."

That made me crossed my brows, unable to comprehend what he has just said. He sounded sincere with his words.

"Where are they?" Marcus asked from my behind, while I am still holding his collar and pointing the dagger in his throat.

The man's hands trembled even more, probably terrified with the sight of Marcus. I could imagine him looking scary because of him being pissed.

"T-They...they w-were killed several months ago. None of them survived." The fear is still lingering with his facial expression.

His words, though. "Killed by who?" I asked this time.

He gulped while looking at my dagger that has slightly cutted his skin. He, then, looked at me, "A-Alpha...of the H-Homer Pack. H-He went one night, killing e-everyone in this village and showing no mercy. Everything is red that night, the scream are everywhere. It seems that hell had visited thi-"

"Stop." Marcus cutted him from speaking

I was thankful that he stopped him from speaking, I was too bothered with everything that he had just said. I can feel my heart aching when the thoughts of him killing everyone in this place. My chest felt heavy for that. I could only ponder the reason behind his actions.

Was it for me? Was he angry? I couldn't let myself think of that, I couldn't let myself be that vulnerable over someone who is just going to destroy me. Right, he must have eliminated them to avoid them be connected with Andrea. It is to protect her from possible spread of words that might ruin her reputation. Right. That is what I should think, that is the reason behind that.

I let go of his collar and distanced my dagger from him, "go away..." I ordered him.

He immediately flew out of the scene, leaving me and my cousin alone in this empty village. I was distracted by that thought. How am I supposed to feel better now?

"Let us go home," Marcus said seriously. He doesn't look happy with the things that we have heard, neither do I. I was only bothered by the thought of it, the thought of him. Shit, I should never think of him again. It will only ruin things and I cannot afford that, right now.

"Marcus..." My voice was low when I called him while we were walking out of the village. He is in front of me.

He slightly tilted his face, showing that he has heard me calling him.

"Do you think...do you think he did love me?" I asked, feeling vulnerable with the heavy feeling in my chest. I know I shouldn't be thinking this, but after the things that I heard from that man, I felt bothered. I felt unsettled with everything.

Marcus stopped from walking and turned around to look at me, in which I did not noticed making my head hit his chest. I pouted as I caressed my forehead because of the impact and his hard chest.

He looked at me blankly, probably irritated by the questions that I threw. I pouted even more at the sight of him, my chest still remains heavy with different emotions lingering in my heart.

"Let's go home, Erina. I don't like where this conversation heading." I could say that he was really angry with it.

I nodded as he turned around, making me face his back. I could feel at this position that my cousin is really pissed.

"Love isn't supposed to be hurt," he said.
