Aina pov:I yawned. I tried to remember what happened last night. I discovered I was in an unknown room. I look at my body. I was clothed in clothes that didn't belong to me. I wonder which room this was.I rested my back on the soft pillow in the bed. The room was hot. The heat was coming from the kitchen. "You are awake." Otto walked in with a bowl of food in his hand."What is happening to me, why am I here? " I asked. I looked at him curiously. "Where is aunt Ella?." I kept asking questions to the unresponsive otto."You need to be calm." He placed the bowl of food on the glass table. "You need strength, "he said. "You haven't answered my question. " "Where is aunt Ella?." I asked, I don't want to interpret what he meant by bowing his head in sadness. "I am sorry Aina, she is dead." He said in a weak voice. " She was mistakenly trampled by one of the Shapeshifters "No! no! this can't be real," I screamed high in a voice of terror. I could not believe what my ear was hear

I came here for only Lorenzo, I was told by grace he only visited this bar every Friday.Desire bar as it is fondly call is the place I belong now, it is situated in the heart of Altona. It is the most expensive bar in Hamburg. "Hello beautiful. " grace wave at me."I see you love wasting alot of customers. " She spoke, waving a bundle of dollar note on my face.

Aina pov:It was midnight, and there was no one left in the bar except me, Lorenzo, and the drunk bartender. For the past three hours, since Lorenzo came, we have been talking about crime and fashion. "How about we visit hotel bostein." He said in a low voice. I stood up and walked behind him as we both left the barhouse. I pushed his lips away from mine as he forcefully kissed me immediately when we sat in the car."Aren't you a whore, why resist a simple kiss?" He said as he started the car.I felt pain because of those words. I wanted to reply to him harshly, but then I remembered the goal. I needed his heart. My wolf could smell it. How it pumps with power."So, what do you like," Lorenzo said as he tried to ignite a conversation between us, having a sense he had offended me by calling me a whore. "I love seeing the natural flow of the river Elbe. " I replied, placing my head out of the window as I received the natural flow of air. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "Just like my father,
Aina pov:"Where are you?" He growls in anger, as he raises his powerful arm, ready to smash the wardrobe with his sharp claw."Am sorry." I quickly got out of my hiding place, facing the gigantic beast. I slowly walked backwards, resting my back on the pavement behind a large glass. Like a frog ready to devour its prey, he jumped toward me, with his fangs up in the air. Luck was on my side today. I swiftly bent my body and he came crashing into the glass, falling down with it. I rushed into the lifts and got down. Like a paralyzed snake, Lorenzo in his beast form was still lying helplessly on the ground. "So after everything, you are going to kill me." Founding little strength, he forced out words from his mouth."When you get to the underworld, tell him Mille sends her greetings. " I took up my knife and struck so hard, cutting his heart out of his flesh and living his body on the cool floor.The River Elbe was not far from Bostein hostel , so I slowly trekked to it. Approachi

I have changed to my beast since when I started the work. It began to fill it is normal.infact I usually slept off whenever I return from work. In that case I am to lazy to change to my wolf form.I sat in the large office I was given, scrooling through the office sheet in desktop computer. I am not having any meeting season with patients now. Actual I have ,but I am kind of exhausted now.so I decide to put everything in the hand of Ekamaya. she was the one that sat at my second office attending to patients. I know if Obi found out about it he would be mad.anyway I needed to buckle down the list of Medical result I will be presenting to the physiotherapy center in this hospital. That will be a perfect excuse to say if anything turns sour.As quick as Flash was done with my medical reporting, I moved to my outer offic
Ana pov:Hi Aina," Ekamaya walked into my office with a backpack. " Welcome. " I turned my attention from the desktop I had been looking at."Mr. Obi asked of you." "I hope nothing is wrong." With a serious face, she asked. "No, no, no, he was just passing through the offices as usual, " I snapped in before she could finish her speech. "Let's get to work." I stood up and walked out of the office. Behind me was Ekamaya. Today we are to give counselling advice to patients. It had been almost three hours nonstop. I sat on the sofa. Giving various clients counseling advice, at my side was Ekamaya, lending her hands in various activities. "It's almost time," I said to Ekamaya. As usual, she was about to go out and call the next client. "Don't call anyone. " . " but Ms., we just got one more client left." She insisted, voicing her opinion in a low voice. "Alright, let him in." I finally concurred. My soul became agasted as my eyes gazed directly at Konrad, who had just walked into
Aina pov:Looking for a mate was none of my business now, my whole focus was my job and how to do it wholeheartedly. Last week I spent most of my time in the hospital, and sleeping in the staff quarters has almost become my daily routine. I had to force myself to go home for the weekend- thank you for the persuasion from Obi. I have noticed his kindness toward me increased, he even publicly praised me in front of the older staff I met. It kind of makes me feel embarrassed anytime he does that. I quickly munch through the crunchy chichi I prepared for myself. Before, I proceeded to the brand-new SUV I bought for myself. I saved two months of my salary to be able to purchase it.I drove through the busy street of Altona, staring at the car wheel as I listened to the music playing on the FM." Watch where you are going, bitch!." A voice roared from behind. My car has been hit by someone from behind and the person still has got to call me bitch. I swiftly got out of my car and checked
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
