Backed against the shore with nowhere to run, you and Haken worked together to form a sufficient defense. The situation was grim, and while the human soldiers gathered their forces for a final push, you'd done the same, digging in and readying to counter their offensive. Lapu, whom you hadn't seen for days, loped toward you through the killing fields, trailed by several humans in pursuit. They gave up their chase before he reached the blockade, and the boy landed near you in an exhausted heap. Tiva crouched to comfort him, leaving you to continue your plans.
The eventual clash was preceded by lobbed tear-gas grenades, and the fighting raged in and out of the smoke. Tooth and claw found tender human flesh, but one by one your brothers- and sisters-in-arms fell around you. In the chaos and confusion you'd caught Lapu attacking Haken from behind with a large syringe. When you interrupted his plan, the terrified boy had fallen to the ground, begging for his life. Williams had approached him with a deal: if Lapu disabled Haken and stopped the war, the military would allow Lapu and Tiva to leave Haven in peace to start a new life. Haken spat at the boy as he cowered.
Haken wanted to kill Lapu, and I allowed him to take his revenge.
I couldn't let another werewolf die a needless death. If we survived, Lapu would be exiled.
