PRESENT“…..After that, he crawled out of the pit a total mess. His clothes were in ruins, and his body was filled with injuries but he completely ignored them. It was as if he couldn't even feel the pain. He ignored everyone and walked away. I didn’t know what he was going to do next so I tried to stop him but…he attacked me.” As Luke narrated these events, his face was blank as if the memory left him feeling THAT disolate. Getting to this part, he paused and pushed up his shirt. A gruesome scar could be seen.Doctor Tim’s face was dark as he slapped Luke’s hand and pulled Luke’s shirt down for him. Luke sent him a soft smile.“I… almost lost my life at the time. Luckily, the Warriors reacted quickly and rushed me to the health centre. Others carried Lyra away as well. Her wounds were a bit worse than mine. Alpha Rogan was said to have walked into his house that day and never came out. When I regained consciousness a few days later, they said he was still in the house. No one dared t
The hospital room was brightly lit. The light illuminated the room and gave it an ethereal feel as the walls were white and the room was decorated with calming flowers. Unlike how the hospital generally had a thick and nauseating smell of disinfectant, Alpha Rogan’s room smelled different because of the flowers. It was specifically picked out for him.It was a single-bed ward, befitting his status. He was meant to be the only one in the room, lying in bed and waiting for further treatment.Nina expected to walk into the room and meet him basically half dead in bed. That was the description that Tim and Luke had given her. But reality always proved to be different.The bed of the ward was directly opposite the door. This meant that the bed end was facing the door. One would be able to properly view the patient in the bed just from standing at the door.The first thing that Nina saw when she opened the door was a slender back. It was obviously the back of a lady. Her back was outlined b
Rogan had been through a lot in his life. His mother had died when he was young, leaving him with a cold blooded father. At that time, Rogan did not express grievance at all. It did not matter to him. It was a part of life, he reasoned.When Rogan was ten, he almost lost his arm during training. He only groaned during the treatment. The pain was excruciating, but he did not shed a tear.Rogan was not one to cry.Even when the love of his life had died and had left him, all Rogan felt at that moment was emptiness and loneliness. Nothing else. It only got worse. So much so that he wished to follow after his mate. He just wanted to be with her, even if it was in the afterlife. He had screamed, laughed, wailed, and raged after she died. But for some reason, tears did not spill out of his eyes. When the rain hit his face with a harsh force after he had massacred the rogues, he did not cry. It was as if the skies were crying in his stead.Years had passed and Rogan thought about his lost ma
After Gabrielle had left, the room was quiet. Rogan now focused all of his attention on Nina. He looked at her with deep emotions in his eyes. Nina felt a bit affected by it so she avoided his gaze. She hugged herself as she looked at the flowers in the room.Tim and Luke stayed out of their sight and watched their interactions.“You…” Rogan opened his mouth to say, he felt a bit conflicted. He did not know where to start from. What was he supposed to say when his mate whom he thought was dead was actually alive?He stared at her for a moment, taking in her new appearance. She had grown so much without him. He could feel and see it. He felt sad about it.“How have you been?” Was the first thing he could ask. Honestly, he felt that this was the most important thing to ask. Before an interrogation, he needed to know about her wellbeing.Nina pursed her lips. Then she licked her dry lips. She did not know how to respond to him. A lot of things had happened to her. She had been good but n
Sleep is a very important and vital process in one’s life. It was a natural process that helped to support the development of one’s brain and promote good health. Sleep is just as important as eating and exercising. One can not go too long without sleep and food. These are vital means of survival. No matter how strong and powerful one is, without sleep or food, your power is basically cut in half that is if you have not completely collapsed from exhaustion.“She’s sleepy quite deeply, isn’t she?” Rogan softly spoke as he stroked Nina’s hair. He had her in his arms. It had been such a long time since he had had her in his arms. Rogan felt a little bit overwhelmed with emotions. Even though the only reason she was in his arms was because she had passed out from exhaustion, he still felt incredibly happy. The moment she had passed out, Rogan immediately brought her into his arms and steadied her on the bed. Compared to how tense she was when she was awake, her sleeping form was quite pea
An hour before Nina encountered a threat in the woods, she had been sleeping peacefully in Rogan’s arms. Nina had been asleep for a long time. Almost twelve hours. During that time, Rogan had already made plans for her accommodation—which he definitely did not make it be her old room because of his own selfish intent—he had also left the hospital bed momentarily to get a CT scan done and also take a shower. He cleaned himself up and changed his clothes into something comfortable.“Get her some fresh clothing. I am sure she will want to clean up when she wakes up. Also, prepare some food that is light on the stomach and get an energy drink.” Rogan ordered Luke as he slid into the hospital bed. He once again took Nina into his arms. He did it so naturally that Doctor Tim gave him a look.“I’ll be back in a few. Don’t make trouble.” Luke said the last sentence to Tim.“Yeah yeah, you can go in peace. He is probably too preoccupied with cuddling Nina. I doubt he will spare me a glance. I
Nina regretted leaving the pack grounds without any weapons with her. Her back was still at Luke’s place. She had not expected that she would encounter danger. Especially not that night.Nina looked at the dangerous wild in front of her and frowned. She glanced around her surroundings and noticed that she was a bit too far away from the pack’s main grounds for the trainees to detect her. She immediately got rid of the idea of running. She was not sure where this wolf had come from. It was a bit strange. It felt as if it had been waiting for her.The wolf walks around her. It was watching her and growling it. It circled her a few times. Nina silently watched it and thought of a countermeasure. It obviously wasn’t a rogue. From the looks of it, it even looked a little bit different from a regular werewolf.Nina glared at it. It was a female Lycan. Although she had not seen too many Lycans, Alex had taught her how to identify them.Does that mean this was a Lycan that stayed behind to sc
Defining Torture was a task. “You know, at first, when I started my training, my husband promised that he would teach me how to torture people. I was shocked and confused. Why in the world would I need to learn the art of torture? Would I actually ever have to use it? I wondered. I was living a pretty peaceful life at the time so I never considered things like that.” Nina started. She stood up from her seat after Doctor Tim was done patching her up. She would heal with time. Nina walked towards the female Lycan, who was bound in a very odd position. Nina had asked for them to tie her up like this. It made everyone wonder how she had learnt such a thing. Her words gave enough out. The female Lycan was currently bound to a chair in a sitting position. Her legs were straight in front of her and her knees were tied to a bench. There were heavy bricks placed on top of her feet. She was so tightly bound that she could not more nor struggle. Nina had no intention of releasing her until he
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
