NovelOnlineChapter 0488 “They are protecting this pack,” Jazzy \ said through her teeth. “How do they know where you are?” | “Do you see any orbs of light?” Zagreus asked. { She squinted her eyes at the shield and on the very top she saw one orb of light where the shield was originally cast.
“I see one, yes,” Jazzy said feeling and sounding annoyed.
“If there is only one then I doubt they know I’m here. Or else they’d all be here and trying to cast me out. They are here to protect this pack and I'm assuming others as well. There’s 4 of them all together,” Zagreus said, trying and failing at taking a deep breath.
He was still hunched over and feeling a wave of pain electrocuting his insides.
“You're powerless?” Jazzy breathed. She stared down at her hands and felt less | powerful than she had moments ago. Her ¥ brows furrowed together. “Will it affect me as well?” “All dark magic is being cast away,” he answered. “The only thing that will strengthen our abilities is a moonstone. I need to get out of this shield before I revert to my snake form.” | “Alpha Jonathan has a warehouse that is rigged to hold the strongest Volana. Will that work?” Jazzy asked, holding onto one of his arms.
“As long as it’s outside this barrier;” he answered. “I won’t be able to cast this dark curse next week unless I get my hands on a moonstone.” “I might have one somewhere. I'll look for it later. I need to get you out of here first,” Jazzy said quickly as they made their way out of the study door.

Zagreus let out a low | scream as he doubled over; Jazzy heard a bone cracking loudly. He was turning back into his snake form by force and when it’s done by force it’s extremely painful.
“Keep going!” He growled. She held onto his arm which was now attached to the side of his body and pulled him along with him. Thankfully his feet still worked; at least at the moment, it did.
They walked outside and they went as fast as they could toward the pack border.
He screamed again as agony arched his body.
“phat Volana goes to the school of shifters in Higala. Which means all my magic there was probably undone,” Jazzy
I ) seethed with annoyance.
» “Most likely,” he said, taking rapid breaths. — “But that bear we took over; we used your magic for that. Will that be undone as well?” Jazzy asked.
Instead of answering, he screamed again in agony. They were almost at the border.
Many guards had taken notice and were charging toward them, but one fierce look from Jazzy halted them.
She didn’t even need magic to control them; they were pathetic and weak creatures and their obedience toward her made her laugh.
Zagreus fell to the ground; Jazzy could see his snake-like eyes forming. Her heart raced against her chest at a rapid speed. She wasted no time; she used all her strength to grab him and drag him past the borderlines and out of the shield.
, As soon as they made it to the other side, he gasped for breath as if he had just | gone deep diving and was now just \ coming up for air. She was gasping as well and lay on the ground beside his frail and trembling body.
He was no longer shifting into a snake; his body was back in his control. He slowly formed his body back into the human form that Jazzy knew and loved.
They stayed like that for a long while as he struggled to regain his strength.

“Are you sure it’s safe?” Zagreus asked, finally managing to get to his feet as well.
“It’s rigged in our favor. Trust me, it’s safe,” she answered.
He nodded and followed her through the forest grounds; it would take them an
hour to reach the warehouse and they were going on foot. Thankfully, Jazzy felt | her powers restored. She had a 4 | moonstone necklace in her jewelry box, but unfortunately, it was left in Starcove.
She would have to get it if she wanted this | dark curse to break the barriers of the ) guardian.
“As for the bear, if she has possession of a moonstone, we can keep control of her.” “Where is she going to get a—" Jazzy’s words trailed off as she remembered that day, she saw that Volana wolf; she wore a moonstone bracelet. Where she got it was beyond Jazzy, but she had it and they attended the same school.
That bear, Rachel, needed to get that bracelet before she lost control.
