Ellie could not believe it. She could not believe how low Lila would go, how easily Raymond was siding with her, how stupid she was to give these people a chance! Just what in the world was she thinking?! Giving them a chance to explain?! She shouldn’t have wasted her time with them. Her? Being a part of a pack worse than William’s? How could she ever believe that?!A deer leapt in her way. Rather than suddenly stopping or turning away, Ellie- feeling both frustrated and hungry- lunged at her prey, mercilessly killing it and devouring the defenseless creature.‘Ridiculous. Me? A member of a heartless pack?! Hunting prey is one thing, but mercilessly killing off others?! That is not me at all!’ she thought as she ate. ‘There is no way that is ever possible! They may as well just tell me I’m not a werewolf then!’Feeling full from devouring about a third of the deer, Ellie took a breath and wiped her mouth with her paw. As she did so, she stopped and looked at the blood now smeared on t
A few days back, elsewhere in the woods, Albus knelt before a very intimidating figure, trying hard not to tremble in their presence, as he gave news of what happened in the Hermit Pack."So, in other words, Anus... You failed to do your part in that pack as you did to previous ones?" the figure questioned coldly.'It's 'Albus', actually...' Albus thought, wanting to correct the figure, but was far too frightened to do so."T-That's... Uh... So to say... Yes..." he instead reluctantly answered with a light stutter. "B-But hey! It's okay! It's just one pack; there are plenty of others I am acquainted with! If I can just go to those packs, get closer to them like I did to the Liberal Pack, I can get you the sight of their suffering faces! Just as you and your pack enjoyed seeing!"Despite the promise, the figure seemed unamused by it. Not just him, but many other werewolves present around them. All staring at the one outsider in the center. The silence was leaving a lot of pressure on A
With the orders received, many of the Nex Pack's juvenile werewolves rushed on ahead in search for their target. One teen in particular was most especially ecstatic with the mission given.'Finally~! After all this time, we can finally do some actual killing~' the young teen thought in glee.'Well, someone is looking rather happy,' her wolf said.'How can I not, Lyksis? We get to do some real killing outside of hunts~ I know this is still a test, but you know how much I have been craving to shed some blood! All of that hunting we did, and watching the suffering of the other werewolves... All of those had been making my fur tremble in excitement~! Making me want to kill others even more~!''Yes, I understand that, Lyra. However, you should know you are not the only one who has been getting tempted to do such things. Surely you haven't forgotten how often our people has been getting into fights these days. In fact, you were also involved in a few.'Lyra licked her lips at her wolf's wor
Ellie was seething with everything that occurred in her life. All she wanted to do was to find her way back to the pack she was born in, and know exactly what kind of pack they are. She did not ask for any lies to be told to her, nor did she ask to have such a difficult life. All she wanted... All she has ever asked for, was to just live a peaceful life. Was such a thing truly too much for her to ask for? Was she just not allowed to ask for anything good to happen for just her? Just what in the world does the Moon Goddess want with her?So many questions filled her head, so little answers were given. Somehow, it feels as though her life is so full of questions that are not meant to be answered. Was this really how her life was to be like? If it was... she wanted none of it any longer.Ellie was so tempted to have Jengo kill her in some way, to do them both and William the favor of freeing them from her. At least with her dead, William's wolf would not be so negatively affected by the
Neither Ellie nor Jengo could believe the predicament they found themselves in. When did all of these werewolves get behind them?! Were they friends of that ‘Lyra’ wolf? Just what pack are they from?! They couldn’t really be from the Nex Pack, could they?“Lyra, you’re taking quite a while in getting the mission done,” one of them spoke. “Since you were here first, many of us had thought of letting you kill the girl while one of us goes for the guy, as well as the other werewolves back in the Hermit Pack area. Yet here you are, fooling around? What the Alpha say when he sees this.”Lyra turned to the werewolf with a pout. “Can you blame me, Hayden? Unlike you guys, I have a close relationship to the target, even if she doesn’t remember us. Besides, this is our first kill target in years~! You can’t possibly tell me you know how to act in this sort of situation.”“Our instructors explicitly told us what to do when in contact with our target, regardless if they are our first or not. As
Meanwhile, with Jengo and his group of Nex Werewolves, the Beta was getting dragged quite far away from Ellie and Lyra. He struggled with all his might against his captor, Hayden’s, grip, however the young werewolf kept his claws punctured in Jengo’s arm, making it impossible for him to even get loose.“Why you…! Let me go!” Jengo shouted, managing to swing his free arm and his captor’s, clawing him and causing him to release his hold with a whimper. In the process, however, Jengo skidded to a halt on the ground, and found himself surrounded by the other Nex Wolves.“Still got some fight in ya, don’t ya?” Jayden said. “Here I thought with how pathetic those other werewolves were, all mutts outside the Nex Pack would be so disgustingly weak. Then again, I suppose your pack has quite a strong reputation, compared to those dead ones.”Jengo’s eyes narrowed at those words. “What do you mean?”“Exactly as I say it. All that time watching those mutts suffer from their own gullibility or the
Ellie couldn’t believe the difficulty she was facing… Even if she did hear of how dangerous the Nex Pack was just recently, in most normal cases, juveniles wouldn’t be as strong or skilled in combat as adult werewolves would. But this werewolf she was fighting?! Lyra may as well be a slow-aging werewolf, or an adult acting as a child! Try as Ellie might, all she could do was defend herself to the best of her ability, ending up with a series of cuts all over her body, especially on her arms, which also have some bruises from blocking some unavoidable attacks. And throughout it all?“So yeah, for these past ten plus years, no one in the Nex Pack has ever gone on another Kill Hunt. We may be cold-blooded killers who think less of everyone else, but as werewolves, we still honor promises. Sadly, though normal hunts don’t count in the promise, killing off preys to eat are not as satisfactory as killing off preys for sheer excitement. For one thing, preys can’t fight back. And even if they
It was silent in the woods as Lyra continued to stare at Ellie. After revealing what she knew about the older werewolf’s past, the latter became quiet, to the younger werewolf’s wonder. It was not as though she was worried about her, as it was more that she did not want the ‘fun’ they were having to be ruined over what she believed was a trivial matter.“Hm? Hey, yoo-hoo~ Are you awake in there?” she called. “Don’t tell my that punch knocked you out in addition to making you vomit.”Almost as soon as she asked that, a fist suddenly came to her face. Though taken by surprise by the action, the younger werewolf raised a hand up and blocked the strike, only to be left wide open for another fist to hit her in the stomach, and sent her skidding back. Unlike with Ellie, she didn’t get sent far, and she didn’t feel much pain from the punch. It had some force in them, but not enough for Lyra to feel any pain. It did, however, intrigue her.“Ah hah… So you have been holding back. And you just
