Lhum'Baggar sprinted through the darkened pathways of the Dreadmaw Clan's settlement, he could feel his heart thundering in his chest as his brother mentioned his wife.
There was a storm of emotions swirling inside him.
His feet barely touched the ground as he rushed toward his home, his mind racing with confusion and anger after the unsettling encounter with his brother, Luk'Tar.
The knot of dread that had been forming in his stomach tightened with each passing second.
Something was wrong, terribly wrong.
As he reached the entrance to his tent, the sight before him sent a shockwave through his entire body.
His wife, the love of his life, was there, but she was tied to a thick wooden post, her arms bound tightly with ropes.
Bruises marred her usually flawless skin, her face twisted in pain and humiliation. But it wasn't just the bruises that caused Lhum'Baggar to stagger back in horror.
"Lhum'Ba…" she tried to utter his name.
