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
With William, he ran as fast as he could in the woods in his wolf form. Ever since he got that bad feeling earlier, he became worried about the source behind it. The Alpha couldn’t really explain why he thought so, but something told him something was happening to Jen, and he had to be there to help him.‘I know this feeling you’re getting is not from our mate, but are you sure it’s Jengo on the other end of it?’ Liam questioned his werewolf.‘It has to be! Don’t question how I know; I just do!’ William answered. ‘And if I don’t pick up the pace… Something tells me something terrible will happen to Jengo.’Liam wanted to say something, but going by how worried William was for his Beta boyfriend, he decided to say nothing. It would not do him any good to start up an argument with his werewolf. Not at the risk of worsening his mental state in any way.“Alpha William! Just to be sure, you’re sure something is happening to Beta Jengo?!” Raymond asked. He who was also in his Wolf Form, and
How could this have happened…? Where did he go wrong…? He tried his best to follow their movements, to defend himself against their attacks, and land a hit on them. And yet… They were too fast for him to follow, no matter what he did. Their strength broke past his defense easily. Worse off, not once did they give him a chance to do anything but defend. These juveniles did not even give him the chance to recover from any of their attacks.And now, because of the huge different in their strengths, there Jengo lied… In his own blood with an arm and leg missing from his person. His assailants all stood around him, looking down on him. Some had on mocking expressions, others were cleaning off his blood that got splattered on them during their attack fest.“Wow. Who’d have thought blood from a victim would taste so different compared to animal blood?”“Same with attacking a kill target. It really is different from doing hunts.”“And yet our superiors have been wasting our time away, making
William could not believe what he was seeing before him… He wanted to think he was seeing someone else who looks like Jen lying in the pool of blood, practically torn to pieces. But no matter how he looks at the corpse in Ellie’s hands… No matter how he smelled this scent… There was no doubting it… Lying dead in his fated mate’s arms was…“JENGO!”All heads turned to his direction at his shout. While one Ellie paled at the sight of seeing the Alpha here, the other werewolves around them looked at him with confused expressions.“Huh? Who’s the new guy?” Hayden questioned.“Someone connected to the dead, maybe? He did cry out that guy’s name, after all,” Lyra guessed. “That being said, if he has connection to that dead wolf…” She trailed off there and looked down at Ellie, taking notice of the frightened expression on her face. One look at the expression she had, and an idea came to the juvenile’s mind. One she would have to wait on, as she would like to have one thing confirmed about w
With Raymond now gone with Ellie, William walked over to Jengo’s torn body. As he stared at it, images- memories- came flooding back into his head. All about a certain day in his childhood… when his mother betrayed their pack for the Nex Pack.*FLASHBACK*It was a peaceful night. One with clear skies and lots of stars shining down. The moon was in its New Moon Phase, a time when all werewolves would be at their weakest and most vulnerable. That said, it was also the perfect time for there to be a peaceful meeting between packs.“Alpha Killian, I really need to ask this again. But are you sure about this meeting?” Hugo asked his Alpha.“Hugo, be at ease. I understand well of your worries. But look up, will you? Tonight is the new moon. A time when our kind as werewolves are at their weakest. No matter how dangerous the Nex Pack are, even they cannot do us much harm at this time of the night,” Killian assured. “Their leader asked for this meeting at a time when neither side can do any s
