The guardian

Chapter 31

Forth's pov:

"The moment i got in, blood curdling screams of multiple souls filled my ears. They were screaming in agonising pain. There were multiple black chains everywhere. I could see souls being torn to pieces and others being burned while they are still conscious." He explained.

I visibly gulped.

"Chains were wrapped around my limbs tightly. And sharp ones pierced into my body everywhere. They burned me from the inside. I was torn into pieces and then put back together over and over again. It was like an endless cycle. Satan would come and tell me to just give in to my fate everytime i was put together after being torn apart but i didn't give in. I just glared at him and refused."

I clutched his trembling hand tightly. Kai also moved closer and clutched his other hand.

"I didn't know how long i had been in there. There was no way of keeping track of time. I didn't even realise 10 years had passed. I was so focused on not dying. The screams of the souls didn't stop even for a second. It was like a continuous ringing in my ears. I can still hear them."

He clenched his eyes shut and gripped my hand tightly.

"Pain is more amplified in there than it is here. So it was a thousand times worse than the things i had gone through when i was in my previous pack."

"Enough. You don't have to talk about it anymore." I pulled him into my embrace.

His whole body had started shaking and his eyes were pooling tears.

Kai was looking at him with worry.

He buried his face in my neck and inhlaed my scent. He wrapped his arms around my waist and clutched onto my shirt tightly.

"It's ok now. You got out. You're here with me." I said softly while caressing the back of his head.

His body slowly stopped shaking.

He let go of me and sat back.

Kai came closer and hugged him from the back. He buried his face in his neck and whined softly.

I raised my eyebrows.

I never saw kai act like this.

"He might try to hide it but he's actually really soft on the inside. Much like a small cub." Forth chuckled.

A smile appeared on my face.

"Ouch!" Forth suddenly yelped and held his neck. I could see a bitemark on it.

"What was that for?" He looked at Kai.

"I'm not a cub." Kai frowned and pouted.

Forth pursed his lips. I could tell he was trying to hold back his laughter.

I wasn't any better. Zen was already laughing.

Kai's frown deepened.

"Ok ok you're not a cub. I surrender." Forth put his hands.

Kai huffed and looked away.

I couldn't hold in my chuckle anymore.

I want to come out. Zen spoke up.

"Zen said he wants to come out." I said.

"He probably just wants to tease me. So no." kai crossed his arms.

"Hey come on. He hasn't seen you for a while. He probably wants to play with you." Forth smiled.

Kai looked away again.
