Lyra slowly turned in bed and her eyes fluttered open immediately she realized the space beside was empty, she ran her hands through it and it was cold."Really?!" She whispered rolling her eyes as she sat up rolled the duvet away from her body and got down from the bed, she put on her flipflops and took out her night robe before making her way towards Killian's study.Immediately she got to his study, she pushed the door open carefully and noiselessly as she peeped in, she could see his back view stating at the mother board with his hands across chest.She exhaled deeply, she was really tempted to go over to him and ask him to atleast take a rest, she was sure that he had being there since their arguement.But then again on a second thought, they just had an argument and she really really needed her ego to be caressed, so she changed her mind and took a step backwards, she slowly slammed the door shut and walked back to the room.Killian slowly turned to face the door immediately he
Later that Afternoon ...."Did you see Mr Taylor?!" Sebastian asked as he walked into Killian's living room with Jada."Yes I did actually, but he's still in coma though!" "Doctor said the effects of the injections should wear out before night falls, so I'll go back there!""I need to talk to him as soon as he wakes up!" He said and Sebastian nodded slowly."Okay ""What about the cafe you visited today, what's the update, did you find anything?!" Killian asked."Yes actually, we tried to linger around first, but there wasn't any weird thing going on or any strange tattooed person!" He said."So we approached the manager!""Xander and Hazel, have been visiting the families of victim to find out if they also got emails before their death,""And so far, non has gotten, it seems like Mrs Taylor was the only one who got an email about her death!" Sebastian said and Killian nodded."This should mean something, what the heck are we missing!" He murmured."Okay, tell Xander and Hazel to see
At the hospital....Mr Taylor's ward ....The door slowly went open and Tirich sauntered in.He was in his usual black overall cloth with a hoodie to cover his face and a mask to disguise.Mr Taylor slowly looked up from the letter he was writing on a sheet of paper and as soon a he saw him he dropped back to the bed and quickly hid the paper under his pillow."You've come for me !" He whispered and Tirich laughed."You're damn right, I have!" He replied with a small smile and a sinister hint in his voice."You changed the color of your tattoo!" Mr Taylor whispered and he slowly looked down at it."Shouldn't be much of a concern for someone who is about to breathe his last breath" he snapped and Mr Taylor exhaled deeply."You wiped my family, that's unfair!" He said."What's unfair, is that you took my money and refused to keep to your own end of the bargain!""You know I tried to but I just couldn't!""So you suddenly grew a conscience after squandering my money?!" He snapped."Well
"The hunter is disguising and claiming to be ...""Claiming to be who?!" Killian asked and she slowly looked up."That's the end, it's not complete" she said and his eyes went wide open."No way!" Xander whispered and she exhaled."Did you see him?!" Sebastian asked."I did, but I couldn't see his face, he managed to escape" he said and Xander shook his head."So it's actually Mr Taylor who had something to do with this," Xander whispered as they all stared at the blood stained sheet."Apparently," Sebastian replied, the door slowly opened and a nurse walked in."The knife," she whispered as she stretched it out towards Killian, he took it from her and dropped it carefully on a table in the room."What's that?!" Lyra asked."It's what he killed Mr Taylor with, I didn't let him leave with it" he replied and she nodded slowly."It should help in our findings," he added."Sebastian and I will talk to all staff on duty, how the hell was he able to come in on their watch!" Xander said, ang
Night of the unleashing ...The moon hung high in the night sky, casting an eerie glow upon the battlefield. The air crackled with anticipation as the unleashing was about to commence. Lyra stood amidst the chaos, her heart pounding in her chest. She had been preparing for this trial, a test of her true nature. Little did she know what awaited her.A chill ran down her spine, but she couldn't back down now. She had been chosen, by the moon goddess to be Luna and now she really needed this transformation, to fully embrace her role.The stakes were high, and Lyra knew that she had to embrace her instincts or perish as it may seem.The sound of howling echoed through the night, and a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a massive werewolf, towering over Lyra with its sharp, glistening fangs. Its fur was a dark shade of black, blending seamlessly with the night. The creature's eyes burned with a savage hunger, fixed on Lyra as if she were its next meal.Lyra took a deep breath, trying
After a while, long enough for Lyra to draw energy from her hug with Killian, they disengaged. Her body still ached from the aftermath of the unleashing ceremony, but it was the disappointment that weighed on her heart the most. She had hoped, just like everyone else, that she would transform into a magnificent wolf. Instead, she remained human, feeling like she had let everyone down."Sis," Marcus called out gently, stepping forward towards her with Xander beside him. They could sense her distress and were determined to offer support. He slowly wound her bed up into a seating position, allowing her to sit upright and face them."How do you feel?!" Xander asked with genuine concern, raising his hands hesitantly to her face. Lyra winced at his touch, her skin sensitive and sore, causing him to quickly withdraw his hands. "Sorry," he murmured softly, regretting causing her any more discomfort.Lyra managed a weak smile, appreciating their efforts to comfort her. "Actually, the pain I f
"Any news on the hunter?!" "We really haven't talked about your progress in a while" Lyra asked anxiously as Killian took his seat beside her hospital bed. His face was worn with exhaustion, and he exhaled deeply before responding."The hunter is relentless," Killian said, his voice filled with frustration. "He's been wreaking havoc in our pack, targeting and killing innocent werewolves, just like he promised!""We've been doing everything we can to track him down, but he's always one step ahead."Lyra winced in pain, her injuries a constant reminder of the danger that lurked outside. She had sincerely hoped that her transformation would help considerably, if ever she crosses path with the hunter again."How did it go with going to the local cafe?!" She asked."Dead end!" He replied and she nodded slowly."I let my fight with you cut me off temporarily," she lamented."That's fine, so long it isn't going to happen again" he replied."I feel like I'm not doing enough as Luna," she m
Next day at Blue Crescent packEthan sat quietly on his chair as he stared intently at Theodore's every move.Theodore had just finished, (according to Ethan's thoughts), reciting a one thousand five hundred words essay on why the refinery should be sponsored by Dowgar's pack. And Ethan didn't actually feel interested."So," Theodore finally said breaking the silence and Ethan looked away from him."So what?!" Ethan asked."What do you have to say to all I've said! Obviously!" Theodore replied rolling his eyes."No!" Ethan replied curtly."You can't be serious" Theodore replied immediately sitting up."Really?! Well too bad I'm not joking around""Your brother is in support of these, why the hell are you forming self righteous!" Theodore growled.Ethan's jaw tightened as he resisted Theodore's condescending words. He had always been wary of Theodore's ulterior motives, he knew that his desire for power outweighed any genuine concern for the pack. The tension in the room escalated with
Squid Arena...Night of the full moon...It was the night of the full moon and all important personalities from the neighboring packs were present in the Squid Arena, ready to witness the fight for the throne between two powerful Alphas. Alpha Killian of Starlight Pack and Alpha Theodore of Dowgar's pack. It was indeed going to be a tough battle, anyone seated there could easily sense the tension in the atmosphere.The full moon shone brightly on the Arena, as it flocked with people from different packs.Killian stood some distance away from the ring, with Lyra, Sebastian, Jada and Xander around him.His eyes stopped on Xander and they stared at each other for a while before he looked away. After he talked to Sebastian, they had decided to not confront him as Lyra had asked, and tonight was the night they were going to get him in the act, he had tried giving him a drink which contained a substance that was supposed to weaken him and make Theodore win instead but he didn't take it, eve
Same dayThe laptop made a beeping sound and Lyra immediately dropped the phone on the table as she ran her hands on the keyboard. Her fingers were shaking as she hoped and prayed it wasn't who she thought it was. He'd never do that to them.The flashdrive contained only one audio. She took a deep breath before playing the audio.---"When you killed Marcus did you consider it an act of maturity!""You know how important Marcus was in all of these, how dare you take his life that like that!" "What would you have me do?!""He saw my face, that was going to be doom for me and my job here isn't done yet!""Fuck! You should have left that to me!""Do you have an idea how many plans you've disrupted just by that singular stupid act?!""You shouldn't have touched his life!""Well I did, move on!""I should move on?!" "Are you crazy!! Do you know the implications of what you've just done?!""You don't seem to know the gravity of what you've done!" "It's the fact that you're not even remor
The next day...Lyra stirred slowly in her sleep and her eyes fluttered open. She sat upright as she took in her environment. She was in her room, a glass of water and a tablet of aspirin sat on the side table.She groaned as she felt a throbbing pain in her head. She felt a sneeze coming and she raised her elbow, sneezing into it. She quickly reached out for the medicine, tossed one into her mouth and gulped it down with the glass of water. She sniffed as she placed it on the table again. Bless whoever had thought to bring her that. Now the question was who brought her home? She had remembered being in the forest last night, crying her eyes out when the rain began falling and she finally blacked out. So how the hell was she in her house again?She made to stand up but her feet wobbled and she sat back on her bed. She was feeling so weak and tired in every part of her muscles and she could feel her body burning up already. How long had she stayed in the rain yesterday? She should hav
Starlight PackLater that night...Lyra trudged tiredly into the house, her feet ached from walking around the town, her cheeks stained with tears. Immediately she pulled the door open and walked in, the cold evening air wafted the sensuous aroma of her favorite food into her nostrils and she sighed.On a normal day she'd be eager to go into the kitchen and devour the food, but today, things were different. She didn't even have the appetite to eat anything. Either ways, she dragged her feet into the kitchen to take a peek at who was cooking and get herself a glass of water."Lyra" she heard Xavier call her name once she stepped foot in. Hazel, turned in at that moment and smiled at her."Hey, " Hazel greeted and she just forced a smile at her."Want some?" Hazel pointed towards the food she was cooking."No thanks" she replied and that moment Xavier walked in."Where have you been all day?"She walked closer to him, standing only a few feet away."Did you or did you not know the real
Killian watched in frustration and Lyra stared back at him in something that resembled anger, hate and disappointment and that was all it took to bring everything in him crashing down.She turned back and walked out, slamming the door harder then necessary. "Great work dude, congratulations on getting our mate angry" Gerald snarled from inside."Just shut up Gerald" he snarled equally and when his wolf made to reply , he shut him out completely.He wasn't about to listen to Gerald blame him for all that happened, even if he knew quite well it was his fault.He sighed as he reached for the door, and walked out.However was he going to get to talk to Lyra? How the hell was he going to convince her? Was she even going to listen?!He remembered how angry she had gotten, when Eliza had pretended to be her, but now things were different, her mother died for him, he had no sensible explanation to give for that. Just as he made his way out of the house, Sebastian walked up to him."Killian"
Earlier....Lyra had finished breakfast thirty minutes ago, showered, changed into a comfortable dress and decided to talk a walk around the pack house, since Killian wasn't back from the meeting, somehow she found herself in the Dungeon.Moving past the bars where some rogues and offenders were kept, she stopped in front of the cell where Eliza was kept when she was still alive ."Luna" the guards bowed as soon as she stopped in front of the gate.She gave a small smile ."The keys?"She noticed their hesitation so she quickly added."It's fine, I already talked to Killian, and he's fine with it"The guard looked at his colleague in hesitation, but nodded anyways and opened the door of the small cell.She stared around the room and realization suddenly hit her. She had remembered placing tiny surveillance cameras at strategic positions in the packhouse, including her house and the school, just for security reasons and she had placed one of it right in Eliza's cell.She quickly reache
Killian walked into the bedroom, holding a tray with a plate of pancakes and a steaming cup of tea on it . He carefully set the tray on the side table and crouched on the floor.A small smile formed on his face as he stared at Lyra's sleeping figure. His hands left his sides as his fingers traced her cheeks.How was he even going to bring himself to tell her, that he was the main reason she couldn't have a happy life with her parents, that he was the reason behind her mother's death. Lyra was going to hate him for that, and he hated it, because he wouldn't be able to live without her. He needed to tell her before she finds out from someone else, but how was he going to bring himself to do that? Suddenly Lyra's eyes fluttered open and she groaned lowly, as she stirred in the bed. Killian shifted backwards as he watched her sit upright on the bed, resting on the bedhead."How long have you been sitting there, staring at me?" She asked softly, a small smile on her face."Not quite long"
Same DayEmpty. The house was empty and looked like a normal human house. There was nothing special. Maybe coming in herewas a bad idea, but still there had to be something, the police had ransacked his house, yes, but there could still be something there.The loud sound from her phone, pierced through the silent house causing her to abruptly stop her search. She fished out the phone from her pocket, her eyes widening once she saw the name flashing on the screen.Killian. She had been engrossed in her search she forgot they had plans.She quickly swiped across the screen, answering the call."Hey babe, where'd you go?""I went for a walk, I'd be in the pack house soon""Alright, stay safe"She clicked on the hang up button and the call ended. She shoved it back into her pocket and turned around to leave. Just as she did, her eyes caught a small black object peeking out from a flower vase on the center table. She walked briskly to it and reached for the vase, retrieving the object. A
Back at the service Apartment"How did this happen?!" Killian asked immediately he walked into the house."I have no idea also, I just got called by the police today to be informed about his death," "What killed him?!" Lyra asked."They said food poisoning" Xander replied and they both gasped."Food poisoning?!" They called together "How did his food get poisoned!" Killian asked."Didn't you guys say it's safe in there,""Are you sure this people aren't trying to pull a fast one on us ?!" Killian asked in a whisper."I don't think so, I saw his corpse,""I suspect something fishy also, but I don't think it's from the police end, they're as transparent as ever!""They are carrying out an investigation on it and they promise to contact us soon," Xander explained."I already dropped contact details,""We should go back to the pack now," he added."This doesn't seem right!" Lyra protested."I know, but what can we do, nothing!" Xander replied and they nodded slowly."You guys should pac
