Rogan got back from a day of working at the pack only to find that his mate was acting differently. He was not completely sure what part of her seemed to be different at first, but later, Rogan immediately realized that his mate was avoiding him.Yes. Nina was avoiding him. She did it in such a way that he did not know how to call her out for it. It was a subtle avoidance. Nothing too serious but it was there. It started with simple things. When he had got back that day, Nina was already asleep, or no, she was still awake but she was already in bed with her eyes closed. He figured she was trying to sleep so he did not bother you disturb her. He immediately cleaned up and headed to bed. Once in bed, Rogan tried to cuddle with Nina, just like he always did. But Nina rejected his advances.“I feel a little uncomfortable and hot. Can we not cuddle tonight, please?” Nina mumbled out to him as she pulled away from his embrace. He paused for a minute. Rogan always respected Nina’s actions an
Nina had made her decision. She would leave the pack. She would leave Rogan. She would leave the love she had found in a hopeless place and circumstance.“You made the right choice Nina.” Agnes nodded at her. Agnes gave Nina a comforting smile.Nina felt like Agnes could smile at her like that even if she committed murder right in front of her. Agnes would probably smile at her the same way as she stabbed a knife through someone’s chest.“Did I?” Nina wondered out loud. Agnes grabbed her elbows in a reassuring manner.“Of course you did. This is the best decision for you. This is the best choice for you and your children. Even for Aloha Rogan. The best thing you can do now is to leave.” Agnes softly stroked Nina’s shoulders.Nina could only nod in return. She suddenly felt a huge weight appear on her shoulders. She had never felt like that before. It was such a huge decision that would change her very life and Nina had just made it.“We need to come up with a plan. Now that you have d
Nina froze up in fear. ‘I will have to what?’ Nina internally screamed at the notion. She could not understand what Agnes was saying. “I-I w will have to what?!” Nina asked. She was pretty sure that the point of her leaving the pack was for her to make it out ALIVE. “Die.” Agnes simply stated. “Yeah. I got that part. Could you be more… specific?” Nina calmed down a little as she noticed that the look on Agnes’s face was a bit different than she had expected. She seemed so casual so she could not be talking about Nina actually dying. “Oh. Sorry, I forgot to explain it. I don’t mean you will actually be killed or anything like that, no. I am basically saying that you have to fake your death here. Make everyone in the pack believe you died during the rogue attack. They will not be able to find your corpse so we have to create a reasonable plan regarding this.” Agnes finally explained with a sheepish expression on her face. “Oh…it does make sense for me to do that…” Nina agreed. “Y
“Uncle Thorin said he would find a way to deliver the pill to me before the rogue attack. I will give it to you when we are escaping. When we leave, we will be heading west, towards the ocean. We will meet up eventually. Remember our plan.” Agnes picked up the bottle of water beside her and started to drink it. She and been talking for quite a while.Nina was in a bit of a daze as she spoke.“I am sure the rogue attack will commence soon, I overheard some other guests at the inn saying that they are going to go to the safe house soon. Apparently, some warriors reported a sudden change at the borders. I think the rogues are going to attack very soon. Be alert, okay? Once chaos ensues, we sprint.” Agnes reminded.“Okay,” Nina said before she left the room.At the Mountain Pack border.Rogan stood standing on top of a thick tree branch as he looked down at the small clearing near the outer lands of the border. It was filled with densely packed savage creatures.Rogan grimaced at the sigh
The pack members of the Mountain Pack had lived a very peaceful life compared to other packs around them. It was so peaceful and unfiltered that a lot of them had never actually come faced with danger. Unless you were a member of the Warriors of the pack, you could probably live your life peacefully within the pack grounds without problem. Ever since Rogan took the throne and even before that, the Mountain Pack had enough security that even some pack members had never seen a rogue before in their lives. People who have remained protected and served for such a long time tend to overreact and panic when actual danger comes at them. The pack members of the Mountain Pack were exactly like this. Before the arrival of the rogue in the pack, the pack members were not too panicked or rushed while heading towards the safe zone, some were even dilly-dallying. Yes, they recognized the seriousness of the situation. But No, they had never actually faced direct danger before then, not at any of the
Nina was stunned. She could not understand what Agnes was saying. Did she mean that Nina had to drink that slushy substance?“I…have to drink it?” Nina asked carefully.“Oh? Moon Goddess, No! Drink it? It’s a chemical substance, although I don’t know the name, it could kill you if it enters your system.” Agnes said as she increased her pace of walking. She walked deeper into the forest, Nina noticed that the path they were taking had very uneven ground. It was very rocky and it seemed as if they were ascending.They were definitely heading towards the cliff.“Then what is it for exactly?”‘and how did my uncle manage to send all of this in when the pack is on lockdown?’ Nina did not say the second part out loud. She had a feeling that Agnes would not tell her the truth.“It is a chemical that has the same characteristics as blood apparently. But it’s kinda like fake ownerless blood. It does not have any scent or colour. If you pour some of your blood into it, the chemical would immedi
As Nina braced herself for a fight with a rogue, Rogan on the other hand, was tearing through different rogues as he fought with vigour. He was like a killing machine in battle. Rogan was taking out two or more wolves at a time, at some point he noticed that the rogues, whether instinctively or not, were avoiding him, so he just went after them one by one.Rogan’s fighting momentum spurred on the rest’s fighting spirit as they fought against the rogues. There were different cries and growls sounding out throughout the battlefield. “Maintain the backline defence!! Do not let any of these bastards through. Report immediately if there are any accidents!” Rogan gave a loud order after we finished dealing with another rogue.“Yes, Alpha!” Various responses came from different angles on the battlefield.Rogan stood as he stared at the scene around him. Although it was already dark, he could see this clearly. He had been having a strange feeling for a while.“Why hasn’t anyone from the pac
Nina had won the battle. Although it could not be called much of a battle.Nina was aware that the rogue did not have much tactical sense, that is if it had any at all. It was just wild and feral. She had a very simple and kind of dumb plan but it was all she had. She had never been In an actual battle. All she could do then was rely on her luck.Nina planned to lure to rogue toward herself and when the rogue would fiercely jump at her, she could roll away. She was very close to the cliff edge. The rogue did not keep that distance in mind as it approached her. If Nina could manage to avoid the first attack, the rogue would be close enough to the cliff edge for her to push it down.It was a dumb and risky unrealistic plan. One she would have never considered if the rogue was not injured and vulnerable at that moment. It was either do or die.So just like her plan, the rogue did indeed jump her. And Nina miraculously dodged, and she just so happened to have enough power to kick the rogu
FIVE YEARS LATEROld Sage Hati believed she had seen it all. From the dark to the bright side of the world. She was a wandering sage who went from place to place, never remaining in one place for too long. She had gone almost everywhere in the Lycan and Werewolf realm.What was she? A Werewolf or a Lycan? Old Sage Hati did not care for such. She believed that they were all descendants of the Moon Goddess, what was the reason for their dumb labels?Old Sage Hati had basically seen it all. There was not much she expected from this shrewd world. Not much could shock her.Or so she thought.A few years ago, news spread far and wide about the peace pact that would be made between the Werewolf realm and the Lycan realm. She was shocked. She thought that these two factions would be at peace, but it seems that wasn’t the case?Months after the news, she heard of the unity between the two realms. Years later, the two realms had basically reunited. With Lycans mating with Werewolves and vice ve
The battle was over and it was time for them to regroup and go back.But just because the battle was over didn’t mean that everything was sorted.“Nina…they….?” Rogan asked trembling slightly as he stared at the triplets in front of him. He felt like his world had just made a backflip.Nina smiled softly at him.He looked back at her with shock then looked back at the triplets in front of him. The triplets were also staring back at him weirdly.Rogan glanced at the birthmarks on their chests and then he looked down at his own chest. His heartbeat sped up.The birthmarks were identical.Even without seeing the birthmarks, Rogan could see his younger self in the triplets. He immediately understood what had happened and yet, at the same time, he could not comprehend it.Nina could understand how he felt at that moment. Finding out you have three fully grown children all of a sudden would definitely be overwhelming.Rogan looked at her, he seemed to have so many questions to ask but didn’
Nina felt lightheaded as she woke up. She felt a strange elevating feelings. Her body felt light as she suddenly experienced a sudden surge in strength. She sighed blissfully at the feeling. A whole new load of information flooded into her head at the same time. Nina was enlightened.As she regained consciousness. She heard the various gasps and voices around her.“M-mom?”“W-what’s happening?”“This light…?”“Step back a bit and give her some space, she seems to be waking up.”Nina could recognize the last voice as Luke’s.Soon, she opened her eyes to reality.Rex, Jax, Axel, Luke, and Coby—who seemed to have joined the group at some point—were around her. They were all staring at her in shock. She sat up on her own, completely rejuvenated and healed.The triplets Involuntarily teared up as they watched her sit up. At first, they wanted to rush up to her and hug her but they restrained themselves. They stared cautiously at the place where she had previously been stabbed. It was clean
Nina was tense as she walked through the all-white space with a frown on her face. She didn’t know where she was not how she had gotten there but for some reason, she kept on moving forward, eventually, she encountered a door. She hesitated slightly before opening it. The door seemed to have a vortex-like suction as it soon sucked her in.Nina was now standing in a warm and cosy room. It was layered with multiple animal skins. There was a bed in the middle that looked soft. There was a small sitting set beside the bed. The set had a table covered in wool, surrounded by two chairs that were adorned with soft rabbit fur. The atmosphere of the room was so warm that soon, Nina’s tense muscles relaxed. She looked around the room and found a small baby cot at the side. She curiosity walked up to it and Inside the baby cot was empty. But for some reason, she felt the warmth from it. There was a very familiar scent lingering in the air as well.‘Where is the baby?’ Nina thought as she looked
In the dungeons,Nina’s triplets and Agnes were ready for the arrival of the guards.They had no idea about what was happening on the surface, all they focused on in that moment was escaping.Soon, the guards burst into the dungeon.“Let us hurry up and kill these bastards! We need to bring up their bodies to destroy those bastards’ morale.” The lead of the men ordered as they got the key to the cell.“What about the woman?” Someone asked.“We kill her too. There is no use for her.” The lead said.His words successfully shocked the inmates of the dungeon.Killing them? They were going to die now?“What the hell are you guys going on about!” Rex screamed with rage. The guards had not opened the cell yet but they were about to.This was a different outcome than they had expected.‘Rex, do not aggravate them! Something must have happened on the surface. We have to change up the plan a bit. The outcome is still the same, we have to escape either way.’ Axel’s mind linked his brother and tr
Nina exhaled after the deed was done.Ariel, the sorceress was gone. The villain who had turned so many innocent people into rogues was finally gone.“One down,” Nina muttered. She looked back at Rogan and Thorin. They were still fighting hard. She looked away from them and averted her gaze to a person who was looking in her direction.It was Coby.She faltered for a second. To say he was looking at her was a bit of a misunderstanding. He was looking at his dead grandmother. He was staring at her corpse with complex emotions.Nina was not sure how he currently felt. Previously, she had gone up to meet him and told him about her plan. So if he could not handle it, he was free to go back. Regardless, she would still get justice for all the people his grandmother, Ariel the sorceress, had killed. Coby had looked her in the eye at that time and nodded in understanding. He said that he would go with them and he would definitely help with saving the triplets. He was determined to help out.
Nina had arrived at the cabin. She immediately stormed in the moment Coby successfully led them there. Her blood was boiling with anger. She looked at everyone with a piercing gaze. She had a strong grip on her iron bat in one hand and her second hand hovered over her knives.There was an amulet shining on her chest. Rogan had given it to her when she woke up. Apparently, it was a family heirloom. Nina wanted to reject it but Rogan insisted. She gave in.The first person she saw when she got there was Ariel, who was haughtily ordering people around. She was setting up a ritual. Nina immediately identified her as Coby’s grandmother. She didn’t waste a moment. She grabbed a small throwing knife and immediately threw it towards Ariel. She did it so fast that no one had time to react. Even Rogan and the others who had come with her did not expect her actions. She was fast and aggressive. She did not even consider the fact that Coby was watching. It did not matter to her.The knife quickly
Nights in the Void Area were basically moonless. The sky would be pitch black without stars or the constellations. It was as if the work area had been abandoned by all the celestial bodies. The Moon Goddess did not monitor the happening in the Void Area. It was just an area for chaotic activities to take place without supervision.“There is no God in the Void Area.”A passing sage had once said this before. He claimed that the void area was an area completely filled with demonic beast. All more vicious than the other. But in such a lawless territory, there would definitely be the leader of all these beasts. The strongest of them. The apex predator.“It is called The Colondra. It is a strange monster that rests in the middle of the Void Area. It is always in a deep state of sleep. It might be that it was sealed by a powerful being in the past or that it is just leisurely resting. But one thing is sure, every night of the Blood Moon. It wakes. If it is not disturbed, it will not bother
“You…What are you talking about?” Agnes cautiously asked him.“Oh, are you talking about that thing you sensed when we got here?” Rex casually asked. This made Agnes even more confused. They had noticed something when they got here? Did that strange pressure also affect them? But what is this about a beast?“Yeah,” Jax replied.“You said it was really big. How big is it?” Axel asked him.Jax hummed for a minute. “Bigger than this dungeon but I’d say it’s as big as the upper structure of the entire building. It feels dangerous as well. Very. It keeps releasing a lot of pressure. It obviously seemed dissatisfied with the existence of people above it. I don’t know what kind of beast it is but it’s not a good idea to be so close to it. It’s right underneath us…”“Wait a minute! Do you mean to say that there is some kind of beast under us? Then why hasn’t it moved?” Agnes asked in a panic. If what Jax had said was true, then they could be killed at any moment. The beast was strong enough t
