The pack members had never expected an attack like this, especially a sneaky one like this. So many of them had been taken by surprise. The younger ones and the women who ate the blue ant-poisoned food were all in critical condition, as for the young men, they were able to move after an hour or so.
Dylan and everyone who were able to move quickly went to work and brought all the wounded pack members into the pack house. As for the attackers, they were all tied up and thrown into the dungeons along with the rogues to be further investigated.
"Get his feet," he gestured to Darius to hold the pack member's legs. They quickly pulled the member into the pack house and placed him on the ground. weirdly, the wolves who spotted them glared deeply, gazing their way.
'Strange…' But Nico shook off the weird stares and concentrated on treating the wounded wolves.
"You take care of things here...I'll have a chat with Dylan," he gestured to Darius, who was trying to stop a pack member's bleeding.
"Wait…" Darius gazed up at him. "I think you should stay."
"Why?"
The young vampire did not answer him.
"Darius?"
"I just think you should stay here." Darius did not explain further. He frowned, looking around. As soon as the pack member met his eyes, they would look away, gritting their teeth. This attitude was very strange.
"It will be fine." Nico did not seem to notice this anomaly.
"Wait.." Before he could stop him, Nico had walked out of the pack house once again. Biting his lips, Darius sat on the ground beside the wounded person.
"You monster…. You guys bit us in the back," one of the pack members growled under his breath.
Darius clutched his clothes anxiously. "We didn't do anything."
"Don't you dare lie! Your vampire lord did this! He…" The young man gazed around the pack house with tears in his eyes. "Disgraceful."
Nico, who was worried about his beloved, did not listen to any of this.
He ran around until he spotted his Dylan amongst the crowd. He seemed to be having a heated chat with a few of the pack members.
Nicolai worriedly gazed at his beloved. Dylan's back was completely soaked in blood. 'He needs to get it treated.' He quickly walked up to him and gently patted his back.
Dylan's frown quickly disappeared as he gazed back with a soft smile. "What are you still doing here? Go in. Don't catch a cold."
"Why don't you treat your wound first? It's bleeding through your clothes…" He gently touched his back.
"It's okay. I heal very fast." He gently cupped his face and kissed his forehead. "Did you check on the other vampires?"
Nico paled slightly. In this fiasco, he did not think of checking in on the other vampires. "I'll go do that."
"Wait." Dylan grabbed his hand. "Take the other vampires to my room and wait for me, okay." He gently kissed his knuckles.
Nico did not understand why he asked him this, yet still, he nodded. "Come back soon."
He walked into the pack house. The first thing he spotted was Darius, who was crouching to the side with his head lowered.
"Let's go check on the others," he patted his back and walked up the stairs without looking back. "Avery was a sobbing mess the last time I saw him.. we might need to hug him to sleep," he chuckled as he glanced back.
The young vampire followed after him without a word.
Nico worriedly glanced at him. When he had left, Darius was fine. In just a few minutes, the young, energetic man had turned into a silent chick. "Did something happen while I was gone?"
Darius hurriedly shook his head. "No, everything is good. Let's hurry." He ran up ahead of him to their rooms. 'Something is going on…' Frowning, Nico ran after him.
They rushed to their room. Outside, Avery was seen prancing around. As soon as he spotted him, he dashed over to him. "Nico!" Nico hugged him tightly. "What is it?"
"Elijah… he is gone," he whispered with tears in his eyes.
"What?!" Nico pulled him away to gaze at his face. "Did you check the other rooms? He must be there. Wait, I'll go search for him."
Avery had a firm grip on his hand, refusing to let him go. "He…. He was taken by Matt."
"What?" Once again, Nico did not know what to make of it. "Did Matt take him to safety somewhere else? They must be in the pack house. Everyone, pan out and search for them. We can find them soon."
"Nico!" With tears dripping down his face, Avery gazed at him. "Matt beat me up and kidnapped Elijah."
Nico did not know how to process this. "W-what… why?"
"He mumbled something about a pure blood… He kicked me away and took him."
