Chapter 166 It's too late
The group had been fighting against the minotaur beast and not gaining any upper hand and that was when they were struck by the beast so hard they were sent back to the middle of the bridge. Before they could come up with an escape plan, a new threat emerged from the shadows in the form of the Beta werewolf they had faced on the day of the tournament.
They were initially worried for their life when they saw the Beta werewolf but before it could do anything, the minotaur beast took charge and fought against the Beta werewolf toe to toe.
Then when the beast saw it was losing, it made use of its lightning abilities to paralyze the werewolf and then striking the werewolf so hard, it caused the stone bridge to collapse and the werewolf along with the beast went falling down into the endless void.
Looking at the collapsed bridge, the exploration team were now stumped on what to do.
"There's no way that the Beta werewolf can survive that fall right?" Peter asked.
"I don't think it's possible." Alex replied.
Then Jake walked to the edge of the broke bridge and picked up bits of it and threw it down but he didn't hear any sound as if it struck the bottom.
"That checks out, I don't think they could survive that." Jake said. "Which means we don't have to worry about that werewolf for now. But we need to prepare for the worst."
"Yeah, what did the werewolf even mean by Aurora Academy will fall?" Geo asked.
"I think my worst fear is coming true, I think there's going to be war against the academy soon. A big one. Against what? I'm not sure. But we need the Fang hunters to be ready for anything." Jake said as he walked forward towards the rest and they decided to head back to the academy.

While Jake was trying his best to update Paul and Wilfred of their findings. When they exited the tunnel, they walked for some time before they got to the experimentation room.
Not wanting to stay there longer, they made their way to the slimy snake's lair.
"I think that werewolf's bite mark we saw on those dead people is because of that Beta werewolf." Geo said.
"Yeah, I think so. Which begs the question, who on Earth is crazy enough to join hands with those monsters and for how long?" Jake wondered loudly and that was when he received a reply back from Paul.
"Head General Humfree is not at the academy currently and he took Wilfred along with him. Leaving the other two Head Generals and the remaining Generals here." Paul said in the message.
"Where to, I don't know. And if what you said about the attack is right, I have started mobilizing the soldiers to be on standby just in case. And the remaining members of the Fang hunters are also on standby."
"But I'm worried that our movements would alert the betrayal whoever he is making them accelerate their plans before we are ready."
Jake read the message before he decided to give his reply.
"The betrayal is one of the Head Generals. But do not act yet, let us arrive then I will find out who did it and make them pay." Jake replied before he looked up at the rest of the guys as they finally got to the slimy snake's lair.
That was when Jake remembered something.
"Guys." Jake called out making the others halt their movements.
"When we were fighting against that minotaur earlier, I had stumbled on what it held when it entered from the cave and it was a dead body. In the hands of the body, it held a letter and the soldier didn't look like it had been killed long ago." Jake said.
"Rather it looked like he had been killed quite recently. Anyway, I got the letter so I'm thinking of checking it now maybe it would have some clues."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Sure, let's have a look." Peter said as they now huddled around Jake who quickly pulled the piece of paper he got and opened it to reveal it contents. It read.
"I hope this letter meets you in time. I found out who the werewolf slayer was that stopped you was. His name is Jake Lucas and I'm worried that he might put a spanner in our plans. So I plan to get rid of him soon. And don't worry, no one would find out. We the Reign family will always support you."
"Reign? As in Reign reign." Alex said suddenly furious.
"Who is the Reign family?" Jake asked.
"Damnnn it!" Alex shouted in frustration. "How did I not realize this earlier?"
"What the heck is it? Will you spill it out already?" Peter shouted impatiently.
"If that letter is right and the Reign family are involved, we need to get back now. Because the earlier letter we had received stating that the betrayal was one of the Head Generals is right." Alex said.
"Then which of the Head Generals?" Geo asked.
"It's Gunther. Gunther Reign that's the betrayal." Alex said.
"So truly a Head General betrayed the academy, but why?" Peter asked.
"That doesn't matter now, what matters is that we need to get to the academy ASAP now before it's too late." Jake said as he picked up the pace.
Meanwhile back at the academy, in the meeting room normally used by the Head Generals to discuss important matters, a Head General was inside waiting for someone.
The Head General there was Head General Rowan Hawk. He was currently waiting for Gunther who had said they should meet up here for it was an emergency.
Gunther who had just exited his personal office smiled.
"It's too late now. It's too late for Aurora Academy as they won't know what hit them." Gunther smiled as he made his way to the meeting room.
