The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 474 Survival Of The Fittest

Sylvia's POV:

"Werewolves outside the wall are born as prey. Our lives are destined to be traded to benefit the privileged. You asked me that night in the sewer why I didn't escape. Remember?" Felix looked up at me, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Do you understand it now? No one can escape. This is a cage, and countless invisible shackles bind us until the day we die."

I felt sorry for Felix. A little child had to endure so much pain and hardships.

"There will be a way to change this."

My words didn't seem to convince him. After all, our lives were insignificant in this strict hierarchy.

The wall wasn't a mere barrier. The rules Geoffrey and his people had built was like a huge mountain that couldn't be uprooted by simply people like us no matter how we wanted to change the system. Even if we were determined to overturn the wall, the werewolves inside would undoubtedly be the first to object.

As Felix said, no one was innocent in this massive conspiracy system.

But I couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.

No one could determine their birth and parents. Accepting new things was easy, but changing existing concepts required a lot of time and effort.

I knew the werewolves inside the wall already regarded those outside the wall as baits to feed the beasts. They didn't care about the lives of the people outside.

Felix let out a weary sigh. "Will that happen? I don't see that day coming."

"Don't lose hope. I will try my best to help you," I promised, staring into his eyes. "I know you have lost all hopes about life, but please think about Alva."

The boy didn't resist when he was presented to the vampire duke today. I could tell Felix had given up on life.

"I neither get to decide my life nor death." Felix lowered his head; his voice was thick with emotion. "Even if I escape now, I will surely die in the future. The hunting happens once a month. All of us outside the wall are mere food for the beasts. Sooner or later, we will fall prey to them and perish."

The cruelty of the game made me despise Geoffrey even more. "If all the werewolves outside the wall die one day, then the ones inside would have to suffer."

Things were not as miserable as this even in a slaughterhouse. The pigs were at least fed well before they were killed.

Felix sneered. "They have already thought about what you said. Only a few vampires hunt every month, so it gives us ample time to relax. They will kill adults first."

"What about kids?"

"Well, they will be given a chance to get inside the wall at a very young age. But that's not easy. They will conduct an examination. Only the gifted children are qualified to go inside the wall. Alva was born blind. so she was rejected right away. But I tried every means to get her inside. Besides, she has a special talent, so they allowed her to live inside the wall."

"Do you mean Alva's eidetic memory?" I asked, studying his face.

Felix nodded. "Yes. Luckily. Children like us, who are barred from entering the wall, have to live outside. If we manage to survive the monthly hunting, we can grow up and have children, filling the hunting ground. Moreover, the werewolves inside the wall know everything about the world outside. Geoffrey even issued a law, which says that those who commit a serious crime will be banished to outside the wall."
