Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 28

28 The pain was slipping away... no, that wasn't right. It was still there, but diluted. It was mixing with his rage, fusing with his fury into a brand new emotion he's never felt before. If Ander was still within his right mind, he might've compared...

27 "How is he, Shekka?" Kadai asked. The insufferable Wolf has been hovering over her shoulder ever since he woke up. "No different from the last time you asked me." _You betrayer you devil you piece of filth how could you keep something like that...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 26

26 Nothing happened for a long, long time. There was no noise save for the crackling of the fire and the sound of breathing. Ander was afraid to move, or even to open his eyes. He was afraid that, if he tried, he would find that he was incapable of...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 24

24 The whispers started immediately, and the words washed through Ander's head one after the other. "Serves him right." "He got exactly what he deserved, siding with Ander like that. It's disgraceful." "First Banno, now Hezzi, and Ander will follow...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 23

23 Ander knew Hezzi wouldn't be able to forgive him. Banno was more of a god to him than even the Cora. Slaying that god must have turned him into the foulest demon imaginable, fully deserving of all the pain and torture the tribe could deliver. But...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 20

20 Hezzi watched from high up in the watchtower as Ander fell to the ground and a sea of Wolves cheered in unison, jumping up and down, waves of grey and black and brown. A small pool of blood started to leak from the gash in Ander's forehead, vibrant...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 17

17 Uproar. Ander watched in horror as the Wolves before him went completely berserk. Codo and Erris grabbed fistfuls of burning logs and hurled them as far as they could. Multitudes of Wolves screamed and shouted - not in fear, but uncontrollable...
