Aina pov:I wanted to leave the altar, but I was held by Konrad " In this family, we don't run away from fight," He said.I could see all the Konrad sisters and some family members were present, they had not left like others.I could also see all of them holding a red necklace in their right hand. Out of the shadows came a big brown wolf running toward us. My heart beat in fear. I saw no fear in Konrad's eyes. I watched as Konrad and others cut off their necklaces and thousands of beads came bouncing on the floor.Everyone quickly transformed into a wolf except I who stood and watched. Konrad had left me alone at the altar, running gallantly to face the wolf. I bent down and hid at the back of the altar. I peeped to see the violent battle. Some smaller wolf I suspect to be Konrad's sister's sister has climbed over the brown wolf's body, they tried to suppress it by bitting over his body.I watched how the smaller wolf bit all over the brown wolf's body. The brown wolf shook its b
Otto Pov:Every time I remember the incident, it gives me joy in my heart. Yes, I have been humiliated in front of the human I loved, but at least I was able to stop the wedding ceremony. I could remember everything. I was not alone that day. I could see some strange beings attacking the wedding ceremony. I don't know what those beings came for, but they too contributed to the disruption of the wedding. I hope Aina is safe in the hands of those beasts. I hope she is brave enough. I felt regret flow through my mind. I could have gone with her while she left me on the floor.I checked to see if my wounds had healed, so I got down from my bed. I walked to the Konrad room, it was locked. I try to recall if anyone saw Me change into a wolf on that day.My thoughts were interrupted by the news broadcast on television. I sat down in my bed and watched the news. I expect them to broadcast the violent clashes that happen between the shapeshifter and the werewolf, but nothing of such was said
Aina povI sat on a wooden chair in the sitting room, reminiscing on the blunders that happened last week. Of course, it was my wedding. It went unexpectedly the way I expected. I am glad I don't get married to that beast. Whoever those shapeshifters or whatever they call themselves save my destiny, now I am alone. I haven't heard from aunt Ella, I left her in that dungeon they call a castle.I heard a knock at the door, I think it must be friends of aunt Ella at her workplace. I stood up to check who it was. " Aina!, where have you done.' I tried to hug aunt Ella but she bluntly refused. " You should have left like that." " I left for the safety of myself, you know those creatures could hit me." I walk through the house, dodging an eye gaze from aunt Ella. "I can't get married to a family that runs on sacristy, I don't even know who they are." I raised my voice high in anger. " You just rule the chance to make your family great. " " don't be like your mother."" What
Aina pov Barely a month after the disaster called the wedding, Aunt Ella brought the talks about marriage to me. Will she ever let me rest? "Aina, have you met a drake?" She said one hot afternoon. " Who is drake?" " He is the son of canos."" Here we go again, you want to be betrothed to another strange family!."" Why can't I choose for myself ?" I asked. I force myself to control my emotions. I don't want to let the event that happened last month with aunt Ella repeat itself. " Everyone knows the evils committed by canos " That is why he was kept in prison to rot.""The government formed a truce with canos, he will soon be free." Aunt Ella said defensively. She went to the kitchen to check the meal she was cooking. " Drake Canos is a businessman. He will give you all the love and time you wish for in this world." Aunt Ella's voice echoes from the kitchen as the aroma of the meal smells throughout the room." I don't care, just let me choose for myself.""Let me follow my h
Otto pov: I leaned against the rough brick wall and let my thoughts drift back to my career. I remember the excitement and adrenaline of last month's night shift, the thrill of chasing down a suspect, and the satisfaction of making my first arrest, all this with Lorenzo and Agnes (our female partner on my side) The countless nights spent patrolling the streets, responding to domestic disturbances and drug busts, had taken their toll.Yet, as we stood guard on this quiet night, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. The factory building was an old relic from another time, long since abandoned by its owners.But for me, it represented something more than just a dilapidated structure. It was a symbol of the city's past, a testament to the hard work and industry that had built it.I closed my eyes and let the memories come flooding back. I remember the nights spent patrolling the docks, watching the cargo ships come and go. I remember the long hours spent on stakeouts, waiting for the r
Aina pov:Today is my birthday. I know it is going to be a very boring day for me because I have to report to work today. I told no one except Otto about my birthday.I put on a dirndl( traditional German dress) I prepared custard for breakfast for myself and my aunt Ella. I just wanted to leave home quickly. My plans for today were to report to work and after that, I would visit the river Elbe and swim for as many hours as I love."Take care dear." Aunt Ella hugged me." I hope you will be at home when I am back," I asked. " I may not, I have to visit the Canostus family. ""For what !?" I asked my aunt. I suspected she was planning an arranged marriage for me again. " You don't even let me finish, Aina." I could see her face saddened in worry." Drake's sister is hurt and needs medical attention, so I have to visit her." "Is there anything you want to tell me, Aina?" Aunt Ella asked as she used a small rag to clean her mouth."Nothing aunt. " I hugged her and walked out of the
Aina pov:"Let me go!" The old man screamed. I march his bony chest with my right paw. I could feel the vibration of his heart." tell me her name." My wolf communicated with him telepathically. Herer name issss."" ahhh," I screamed in pain, the German shepherd had just bitten my paw. I left the old man and faced the dog."Leave him! The old man tried to stand up from the ground, he watched me shatter the body of his precious dog to pieces." tell me her name!" I threatened him." Mille, Mille is her name." He sobs, The humanity in me felt pity for him, I joined my snout to his nose and looked at him in his eyes. "You're lucky, you found mercy. You must never tell anyone what happened here today.""Yes, yes. I would not." He replied. I growl high several times, as I lift my head upwards. The light from the full moon cast the shadow of my wolf on the floor.As I run through the forest, my senses sharpen and my body morphs into a powerful beast. My senses are heightened, my vision
Otto pov:Ever since Agnes passed away, our night duty work has never been the same. We miss her entertaining jokes and encouragement to stay awake and brave throughout the night. I greatly miss her as she was an exceptional female policewoman.I miss her very much, she was one in a thousand female policewomen. As I stood on a bench lost in thought, Lorenzo joined me with a cup of Starbucks in his hand. He asked if I was thinking about her and I tried to deny it with a fake smile to hide my true feelings." I am not thinking about her ." I tried to deny it, I faked a smile to cover my worried face."DPO said our days of night guard at the Klovensteen forest are over," Lorenzo said."Really." This news brought joy and sadness to my heart. "Yes, it's true." He threw the plastic cup into the waste bin that was near a tree and stood up, he left me alone on the bench.************As it started getting dark, the thought of going alone to Klovensteen forest made me feel uneasy. It was im
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. The rhythmic pounding of my paws against the damp ground echoed in harmony with the symphony of nature.As I approached the gathering of my fellow werewolves, their forms stood out amidst the shadows, their eyes gleaming with a fiery determination.Kaga Wolfrick's commanding presence enveloped us as he projected his thoughts into our minds through the power of telekinesis. 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
