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
Luke had gone through a not-so-surprising transformation. After experiencing a near-death situation, it would be strange if he didn’t. Rogan had given him a chance for redemption, so he took it seriously and planned to focus on developing himself while he healed.It was after staying at Doctor Tim's house for a week that Luke realized that he had nothing to look forward to in his life. He had no particular hobbies or things that he liked to do. He had no friends he could hang out with. He had no other ambition or goal. Luke’s life was completely bleak when he was not busy chasing after his cousin’s shadow and the throne. The only reason he had done a lot of things was because he wanted to throne. But now that he had abandoned that goal, there was really nothing else to look forward to…Luke got depressed after that. He still had a lot to heal from so his mood inadvertently affected his healing. This made Doctor Tim worry about him. Although Rogan had dumped the burden that was Luke o
+Change is a scary thing.People are naturally wired to prefer consistency and a good routine. A sudden change in this would make them uncomfortable.+For Nina, change was frightening.+Everyone experiences their own level of fear of change. That’s why comfort zones exist.+Nina was not too sure about her comfort zone. She did not know how to identify it much. Maybe this was because she had spent most of her life outside such boundaries.+ People would rather avoid change because of how uncomfortable the associated feelings can be.While it’s natural to feel that change is scary, some people may be dealing with something more serious. That something more is called metathesiophobia, and it’s such an intense fear of change that it can be paralyzing and very hard to live with.+Nina did not have metathesiophobia. If she did, she would have never considered leaving her pack and coming to such a faraway and unknown place such as the Lycan realm.“This article would have been more interesti
Nina had been working at the ‘Sirius Café’ that was positioned on the business street. This meant that at a certain time of the day, the café would be packed with office workers. The pay at the café was good and Nina would be able to quickly assimilate into the society in this setting. This was a comfortable atmosphere for people to talk and mingle. Nina was positioned at the counter, taking the orders. It was a good place for her to easily listen in to some of the conversations people would have.The café had a good style. It was a mix of a modern-style décor and a nature inspired style. Every piece of furniture and decoration in the coffee shop was simple with a practical, intentional purpose yet had a variety of botanicals, opting for sustainable and renewable materials to furnish the space. Whoever designed the café was thoughtful about the types and amount of disposables to be used.The colours used in the cafe were a unique blend of colours brown and taupe with colours that appe
Nina’s face was once again getting doodled by a toddler.“How did I end up like this…?” Nina mumbled as she adjusted the toddler’s sitting position on her lap. It was a little boy with chestnut brown hair and big doe eyes. He was so adorable…if only he didn’t have an erasable marker in his hand and he didn’t constantly insist that he wanted to draw on the face.How did Nina end up in such a situation?Well, Nina had a safe trip from the café to the clinic where her uncle had gotten her an appointment at. The only problem is that the appointment was set at three o’clock so she was unable to go in before then. It was fine. Nina decided to wait.Nina sat in the waiting room with a few others. Everyone else in the room had a child with them. There were two mothers with infants cuddled up in their arms and there was another mother that sat next to a low table. Right In front of the low table was a toddler. The little boy was possibly three to four years old, Nina presumed. Out of curiosity
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
Agnes was quiet. Her eyes widened in shock. She looked up at the prison cell window. The door of the cell was completely covered except for the small barred window. She uncontrollably stared at the window, as if she would just naturally be able to see the person who had been talking to her. Agnes was not expecting anyone to respond to her. Or rather, she had not been expecting anyone to be there to listen to her. The guards were gone and she had never heard or imagined that another prisoner would be brought here, especially due to the location of the prison. It was a different place than where she had been locked up before she met with Nina. Previously, she had been in a dungeon with there being many more prisoners. But this time, for some reason, Thorin had decided to keep her locked up in the dungeons that were located in the Void Area. It was a three-cell small dungeon that was located under a small cabin in the middle of the Void Area. It was a basement space of the small cabin t
Nina was speechless at the end of the whole vision.“Unbelievable. Honestly.” She said to herself. It really was unbelievable. The reason for the Werewolf and Lycan feud was because of her past life and her retarded uncle? Such generational hatred was sourced from such a thing. Nina knew if she ever told anyone this, they would not believe her. So many theories of what might have caused our feuds had popped up over the years. The truth was far more simple than one would think.Nina understood that it was hard for someone to deal with grief so she was not undermining the feelings of the two boys, but still, she wondered how dogmatic the villagers were to just follow along with the separation.Nina could only sigh at the end. It seemed that this was the reality of it. Nina thought about it and she realized that Thorin’s death seemed a little strange. He has died with so much malice. Nina had seen a few other people die accordingly and she would always see their souls see to beautifully
“Nina, calm down.” Rogan had been listening closely. The truth about the situation was more ridiculous than he had expected. So many people had died because a power hungry man believed his greedy sorceress so much. And in the end, it would all be for nothing?Rogan could feel Nina’s mood change. First, he needed to help her manage her emotions for now.“I understand but-“ Nina tried to calm down but she really couldn’t. She felt scared and angry. Scared for her children’s life and angry because of the truth. Because her uncle was dumb enough to believe a fake prophecy, her children were in danger. She would not forgive any of them.“Yeah, I get it, but you need to calm down. We need to ask him a few more things. We need to get a solid plan. I’m guessing that we can’t just burst into the hideout and reveal the truth to Thorin now can we?” Rogan asked Coby. Rogan crouched down beside Nina’s figure. He didn’t touch her. He wanted to hug her but he needed to keep his distance.Coby bit hi
Nina’s eyes widened in shock at the teenager’s appearance. The teenager, Coby, paled when he saw her as well.“Do you know him?” Rogan asked.“Yes, he…is one of my son’s friends from the Lycan realm.” Nina stared at Coby with shock and confusion. What was Coby doing here? And how did he get here? Wait…was he somehow involved in this? Nina’s thoughts were going wild as pondered about this.“Where did you find him?” Rogan asked as he glanced at the boy in his subordinate’s grip.“He was hiding in the bushes nearby.” The man responded.“Let him go and close the door,” Rogan ordered his man to let go of Coby. The boy could not run even if he wanted to. They were currently in the living room of the house. They had to stay there for a while and plan things.The man nodded respectfully and left. Just like Rogan had thought, the boy did not consider moving. He just nervously stood in a spot. Rogan stared at the boy with a strong aura radiating off him. His gaze scared the boy and he was prett
Nina’s eyes widened in shock at what was happening. She could not properly grasp the situation.“Is..she…dead?” Nina asked with a trembling voice. The machines in the room were making some strange noises. Nina could hear the machine tracking Lyra’s vital make a monotone noise. It wasn’t beeping anymore, it signified that Lyra was indeed gone. It shocked Nina. Wasn’t Lyra supposed to last for longer than that? And what did her last words mean? It felt like there was still a lot she didn’t know or understand. How had Lyra met Thorin? Why did she team up with him? What was her reason? Did Lyra just die without even making things clear?!“It seemed she used her last burst of strength to speak. She must have given up after she got the message through.” Doctor Tim said as he came forward. He had a frown on his face. He had immediately sent someone to inform the Alpha.“Huh? What message? What message did she get through? Do you mean her scattered words are a well delivered message? How does
When Nina finally saw Lyra’s figure in the ICU, she almost couldn’t stomach it. Her body wasn’t even complete. She had lost her two legs from the knees down. One of her arms was gone and she looked emaciated. She was connected to so many wires. Her face had a claw scar on it, Nina realized that it was the scar that Rogan had left. All in all, she did look like someone who had just a few hours left. It was sad. Nina honestly wondered why she would do this to herself.“Is she conscious right now?” Nina asked Doctor Tim. He nodded.“Just go ahead and talk to her, we’ll be here listening closely.” Doctor Tim said as he monitored her vitals.“Okay.” Nina walked closer to Lyra. She felt a bit uncomfortable at the sight. When she got close enough to Lyra, she noticed that Lyra was awake. Her eyes were barely open as she seemed to stare into space.“Lyra?” Nina called out to her. Lyra flinched before she looked at her. When Nina made eye contact with Lyra, her eyes widened slightly. She seems
After Nina’s little spat with Nayla and Gabrielle, she walts into the dungeon to ask Rayne some questions. After a round of questioning, Nina finally gets the facts down. She is ready to go back to share this information with Rogan and the rest.She knows that Rogan is still at the hospital so she goes to meet him there. This time on her way, she does not encounter any strange or disturbing individuals. It is a sign that her warnings had worked, she didn’t even see the previous pair that had bugged her.At the hospital, Nina paid extra attention to the people a the hospital, it seemed that more and more people had been getting discharged. Werewolves healed fast so this wasn’t surprising. Nina watched to see if she would see any familiar faces but she didn’t. Although it could mean that some of the people she could remember were not hurt and admitted to the hospital, or it could ultimately mean they were dead. Rogan had told her about the graveyard behind the pack, she would go there t
