Otto pov:Ade and I sat by the fire in silence, staring at the dancing flames. It was a quiet night, the stars twinkling above us and the distant sounds of crickets providing soothing background noise.Suddenly, Ade broke the silence, "You know, I lost my family when I was just a boy," he said, his voice low and somber.I turned to him, surprised by the sudden confession. "What happened?" I asked."We were herders, and my father had a large herd of cattle," Ade began. "One day, some bandits came and stole all of our cows. My father and brothers tried to fight them off, but they were outnumbered. They were all killed, and my mother and sisters were taken by the bandits."I was stunned. "I had no idea, Ade. I'm so sorry," I said, not knowing what else to say.Ade shook his head. "It's been a long time. But I never forget what happened, and I never want anyone else to go through what I did."I nodded, understanding the pain and the need for justice that drove Ade to become a police offic
Otto pov:My makeshift office is not much, just a simple trampoline covered with a tarpaulin sheet to provide some shade and protection from the elements. It's located at the edge of the rocky plain, close enough to my men to be accessible, but far enough to provide some privacy.Inside the trampoline, I have a couple of chairs and a small wooden table, all of which I salvaged from the abandoned factory. The chairs are not very comfortable, but they serve their purpose, and the table is sturdy enough to support my laptop and a few files.Despite its simplicity, this makeshift office has become my sanctuary, a place where I can think and strategize without any distractions. It may not be much, but it's enough for now."Here is him sir!" Ade said as he walked into my office accompanied by the shapeshifters (who were chained to his hand and feet)"You may leave." I gestured to Ade.As Ade left the makeshift office, I turned my attention to the shapeshifter, who was now sitting on a chair
Otto pov:"They are taking advantage of us using body size," Ade whispered in a frail voice. The shapeshifter with the boar head was in the thick of it, using its massive size and strength to overpower the humans and werewolves alike.I took cover behind a large crate, trying to get a good shot at the shapeshifter, but it was too fast for me. Suddenly, a werewolf leaped over me and tackled the shapeshifter to the ground. I watched in amazement as the two fought, claws and teeth tearing at each other.More and more werewolves joined the fight, and the shapeshifters were quickly outnumbered. But they were still fierce opponents, fighting with all their strength and determination. I could see that some of my men were beginning to tire, and I knew that we needed to end this battle soon.I shouted orders to my men, trying to keep them focused and coordinated. We needed to work together if we were going to survive this. One of my men fired a rocket launcher at the shapeshifter with the boa
Otto povThe morning was crisp and fresh, and the scent of the roasting meat filled the air. I watched as my men worked diligently to cut the antelope into pieces, some to be cooked and some to be preserved for the journey ahead. We needed to be prepared for anything that came our wayI walked around, checking on my men, making sure everyone was doing their part. It was a tough job, but we were all used to it by now. We've been surviving in this new world for so long that it has become second nature to us.As I walked, I couldn't help but think about the journey ahead. It was going to be long and dangerous, but we had to do it. We can't just leave those humans behind. They needed our help, and we were the only ones who could provide it.I watched as the meat cooked, the flames licking the meat as it sizzled on the open fire. The smell was heavenly, and my stomach growled in anticipation. But I knew we had to be patient. We can't afford to waste any resources.Finally, after what seeme
Otto pov: We approached the artificial island where the naval base was located. I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer size of the structure. The base was surrounded by a moat, and it was evident that security was a top priority. The walls were thick and towering, and the entire place seemed impenetrable.As we drew closer, I could see the various facilities within the base. There was a missile system that looked state-of-the-art, a food warehouse that was large enough to feed an army and a fitness center that looked like it could rival any commercial gym. I even spotted what appeared to be a stadium and a military training center.The naval base in Othmarchen was a self-sustaining community, with everything needed for the military personnel stationed there. It was an impressive sight, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief knowing that we might finally be safe within those walls.******"Take them to the new intake room". A feminine voice sounded in the large aircraft pitch
Otto pov:"Altona Nord used to be the pride of Altona. It was the center of industrial activity, and people from all over the world came to see its marvels. But then, the corrupt government of Altona privatized most of the government-owned industrial hubs and sold them to corrupt people."I could see the disgust in the eyes of my men as I continued, "These corrupt businessmen didn't care about the workers or the environment. They only cared about their profits. They cut corners, violated safety regulations, and polluted the air and water. And the government turned a blind eye because they were getting a cut of the profits."As I was talking to my men, suddenly, I heard a loud flapping noise and a shadowy figure flew overhead. I looked up to see a massive bird-like creature, and to my horror, it had picked up Caroline's car with her inside it.Without hesitation, I ran towards the car, and just as the shapeshifter was flying away, I grabbed hold of the back of the car. Caroline was scr
Otto pov:As we began to descend the steep, rocky hill, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The ground was slippery and unstable beneath our feet, and the thick foliage made it difficult to see where we were going. I could hear the faint rustling of leaves and the occasional snap of a twig as we made our way down, our movements slow and deliberate.Caroline was in front, leading the way with a focused determination. Her movements were precise and calculated as if she had done this a thousand times before. Ade was close behind, his eyes scanning the surrounding area for any signs of danger.I followed closely behind them, my hand tightly gripping the strap of my backpack. My heart was racing, and I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched. Every sound, every movement, seemed to send a jolt of fear through my body.We continued to climb down the hill, our descent slow and deliberate. The rocks beneath our feet wer
Otto pov:"Do you know that 85% of Altona waste products pass through this drainage system?" Caroline spoke, igniting a conversation after the long silence, the four of us has been walking in this drainage part of the large tunnel for the past forty fight minutes. "Wow, I never knew". I answered "I thought all the waste in Altona goes to the Leipzig zone," I added."No, the majority of the waste comes here, I learned that from my master in geography I got in school.""Wow, that's cool."Caroline discussed the polluted drainage system with Ade, I couldn't help but notice the way he was looking at her. It was a look of lust, and it made me feel uneasy. I cleared my throat and said, "Ade, do you have any information on the security at the nuclear plant?"Ade snapped out of his gaze and replied, "Yes, from what I've gathered, the security is quite tight. We'll need to be cautious and plan our approach carefully."Caroline added, "I have a friend who used to work there, I can try to c
Aina pov:(8 years later)I sat on the couch, my pregnant belly heavy and prominent. The room was filled with an air of tranquility, the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the curtains and casting a warm embrace over everything. It was in this moment of quietude that Bella, my little daughter, came running towards me with an expression of distress on her face."Mummy, Bella took my doll," she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and sadness. My heart skipped a beat as I registered her words. Rita's favorite doll, the one she cherished dearly, was missing, taken by her older sister."Bella!" I called out, my voice carrying a sense of urgency. I watched as she hurriedly approached, her small feet pitter-pattering on the floor. The worry etched on her face mirrored my own as I reached out to hold her close."Why did you take your sister's doll?" I questioned gently, my tone a blend of concern and curiosity" Nobody wanna play with me, they say I am weird ," her tiny
Aina:" This is my last day. I vividly know today will be my last day on earth ,"Why should you talk like that? As far there is a life there is hope, ", Otto cut in before I could complete my speech. The night wore on, the blood moon still radiant. It dimmed mysterious red light on the surface of the earth, cold seeped into our bones, and the falling snow added to our discomfort. Chained together, Otto and I found solace in each other's presence, despite the dire circumstances that surrounded us.Otto's voice cut through the frigid air, laden with remorse and regret. "I am so sorry, Aina. I can't believe I left you, I thought you were gone forever." His words held a mixture of guilt and sadness, revealing the depth of his emotions.I turned my gaze toward him, my breath visible in the frosty air. "It doesn't matter now," I replied, my voice carrying a note of determination. "What's important is that we focus on escaping from this nightmare, from the clutches of Kaga and his fo
AINA POV:The words of the ghostly figure echoed in my mind, its ethereal voice piercing through the chaos unfolding before me. Her cryptic message filled me with both intrigue and unease.Her words sent a surge of adrenaline through my veins. If this enigmatic being held the answers I sought, I needed to listen attentively. "Tell me," I implored, "what must I do? How can I defeat Drake and bring an end to his reign of terror?"The ghostly figure glided closer, her presence both comforting and haunting. "Your destiny lies intertwined with Drake's," she explained. "I have chosen you to face him, to challenge his darkness with your unwavering light. Trust in your instincts, for they will lead you to the right place at the right time."As the ghostly figure faded, her voice lingered in the air. "Remember, Aina," she whispered, her voice ethereal and full of wisdom. "Your enemy awaits, and your destiny beckons. Embrace the power within you and emerge victorious."With those final words, s
Otto POV:I saw the way you looked at her," Olfgan said, his voice laced with a mixture of suspicion and intrigue. ,"It seems you recognize her."I gritted my teeth, my frustration mounting with each passing moment. The last thing I needed was someone probing into my personal affairs, especially when the stakes were high and our mission was of the utmost importance."Can't we just keep quiet and focus on the journey?" I snapped, my tone tinged with anger. I didn't want to entertain olfgan suspicions or delve into the intricacies of my past. There was too much at stake, and any distractions could prove disastrous.Olfgan seemed taken aback by my response, his gaze shifting away momentarily. Perhaps he realized the gravity of the situation and the need for unwavering focus. After a brief silence, we continued our journey in silence, the sound of our footsteps punctuating the tension that lingered between us.The path before us was treacherous, with shadows cast by towering trees and the
Aina Pov: I examined my back in the mirror, Arnold entered my chamber. His presence caught my attention, and I turned to face him. "You summoned me, mistress?" he inquired, his voice respectful and attentive.I nodded, acknowledging the importance of the matter I wished to discuss. I spoke, my tone firm yet tinged with curiosity. "Arnold, are you aware of the recent visitation by the werewolves?"He responded without hesitation, affirming his knowledge. "Yes, ma'am. I have been informed of their presence."My brow furrowed slightly, and I probed further, my voice carrying a hint of disappointment. "Then why did you not inform me earlier? When you returned from your hunting expedition, I expected to be informed, only to discover that you had already been informed."Arnold shifted slightly, his gaze dropping momentarily. "I apologize, mistress. I had intended to inform you, but upon my return, I realized that the news had reached you before I had the chance."Silence hung between us
Aina POV:I prowled through the dense undergrowth of the Klovensteen forest, my senses heightened, attuned to every rustle and scent in the air. The moon, a radiant crimson orb, cast an eerie glow, infusing the night with an otherworldly ambiance.My heart quickened as I caught sight of a wild, fat boar ahead, its scent wafting tantalizingly in my direction. The chase had begun. With a burst of energy, I lunged forward, my paws propelling me through the shadows. The thrill of the hunt pulsed through my veins, guiding my every move.My paws thudded against the forest floor, each step closing the gap between the boar and me. My adrenaline surged as I anticipated the moment of triumph, the taste of victory that lingered on the edge of my senses.Finally, within striking distance, I sprang forward, my jaws gaping wide. The moon's crimson glow illuminated my feral form as my teeth sank into the boar's neck, the sensation of flesh yielding beneath my grip. A primal satisfaction washed over
Otto pov:In our werewolf form, my comrades and I ventured into the depths of the Klovensteen forest. As we traversed the thick foliage, the scent of damp earth and ancient trees enveloped our senses. The moon cast its pale glow through the dense canopy, guiding our path.we ventured further, a faint sound reached our ears—an echo of human activity. Curiosity piqued, we followed the sound until we emerged from the shadowed forest into a small clearing. There, nestled amidst the towering trees, lay a human settlement.The settlement appeared humble yet vibrant, with flickering lanterns illuminating the humble dwellings. The air was alive with the murmur of voices and the distant crackle of a fire. Though cautious, we approached with a mix of curiosity and wariness.The humans within the settlement, upon seeing our werewolf forms, paused in their activities, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and awe. I could sense their apprehension, their uncertainty about our presence among them.
Otto pov:Startled from my slumber, my senses heightened as the resonating howls of my fellow werewolves reverberated through the night. Instinctively, my body responded, undergoing a swift transformation into my powerful brown-furred werewolf form. The moon cast its ethereal glow upon me, illuminating the surroundings with an otherworldly radiance.Eager to join the pack, I rushed outside, feeling the cool night air brush against my fur. The forest embraced me, its familiar scents of earth and pine infusing my senses.

His voice resonated with unwavering determination as he outlined our next mission."We must journe
Otto POV:I entered Kaga Wolfrick's office, the air thick with a sense of urgency. Kaga looked up from his desk, his amber eyes meeting mine. I wasted no time and went straight to the matter at hand."Kaga," I began, my voice laced with a mix of determination and concern, "Caroline is still in the captivity of the shapeshifters. They're using her as leverage, and we need to act swiftly to secure her release."Kaga leaned back in his chair, his expression turning thoughtful. "I see," he replied, his voice steady and measured. "Caroline's safety is of the utmost importance. But how do you propose we proceed?"I took a deep breath, collecting my thoughts. "Sonia, the captive we have could potentially serve as a bargaining chip. If we offer her in exchange for Caroline, we might be able to strike a deal with the shapeshifters."Kaga stroked his beard, his gaze fixed on me. "Using Sonia as leverage is a risky move," he mused. "It could backfire, and we must consider the consequences. But I
